The Owl of the Bohemia

[menace]

Ferdinand Burgdorff, a member of the Bohemian Club, was born in Cleveland , Ohio, in 1881 and studied at the Cleveland School of Art and in Paris, France. In 1907 he headed West with the intention of becoming a desert landscape painter. He lived and worked in Arizona and New Mexico before moving to Carmel, California, becoming a prominent early member of the Carmel Art Association, the second-oldest operating nonprofit artists' cooperative in the United States.

In 1911, he took an exhibition of his desert paintings back to his hometown of Cleveland, and sold enough to finance a two-year trip around the world. When he died in 1975, Burgdorff was the oldest working artist on the Monterey Peninsula.

This is an etching he made "The Owl of the Bohemia" from 1947

Notice the lamp of Illumination, and the tree is a sort of column.  This bears a lot of similarities to the Masonic 'tracing-boards.'

The 'horns' of the owl are like the upturned crescent moon.  The Owl is, of course, Minerva/Athena and Isis who was associated with Athena in the hellenistic era.

Isis, along with Osiris and Horus are some of the central figures in Masonic symbolism/ritual.  The initiate must die and be resurrected, like Osisris/Hiram Abiff.

This "etching" does indeed bear some light on the goings-on at this little (pretend only?) den of perversion and idolatry and (symobolic only?) human sacrifice.

It certainly would be a shame if all these rich powerful people were deprived of their little patch of old growth forest by a well-placed bolt of lightning on a very dry day.

Guess, they'd have to go back to Bay Area bathhouses they crawled out of.

Good posts!!!, i have a question, on the bottom of this set of picks the ground is littered with mushrooms, may be they do a kind of shamanization

[egypt]

I was wondering what those were at the bottom -- mushrooms!  Seems to fit -- they are out-of-touch with reality and hallucinating on something!

Love, e

Old growth forests rarely burn because of their structure and humidity.

Those mushrooms I think are lily pads.  Not sure though.

Lily pads -- that is what I thought.

A Midsummer Night's Dream: Act 2, Scene 2


Enter TITANIA, Queen of Fairies, with her TRAIN.

TITANIA
Come, now a roundel and a fairy song;
Then, for the third part of a minute, hence;
Some to kill cankers in the musk-rose buds,
Some war with rere-mice for their leathern wings,
To make my small elves coats, and some keep back
The clamorous owl that nightly hoots and wonders
At our quaint spirits. Sing me now asleep;
Then to your offices and let me rest.

FAIRIES sing.

[...]

FIRST FAIRY
"Weaving spiders, come not here;
Hence, you long-legg'd spinners, hence!
Beetles black approach not near;
Worm nor snail, do no offence."[/b]

The opening 'Cremation of Care' ceremony at Bohemian Grove in California.
A getaway retreat/summer camp where every July, some of the world’s most powerful men admittedly take part in occultic and offensive activities.
The main idol/statue is meant to depict an Owl God, sometimes known as Molech or Moloch.

The Cremation of Care was devised in 1893 by a member named Joseph D. Redding, a lawyer in New York. The New York Times described the show in a June 25, 1899 article:

"Great attention was paid to all the details, and the Druid priests who figured prominently in the show bore all the insignia of their order on their vestments. Over 500 persons figured in the spectacle, and electric and calcium lights were used to illuminate the tableaus. There was a symphony orchestra and a grand chorus. A Druids' altar and sacrificial stone lent an air of realism to the scenes. Mr. Redding served as High Priest of Bohemia. Then came a procession of eight Druid priests bearing six chained captives-- a Gaul, a Celt, a Roman, a barbarian, and two men from the Far North. Each captive was in costume and each in turn pleaded his cause before the assembly, but was condemned to death. Only the Gaul, who represented Bohemia, was able to make a defense that lifted the sentence from the heads of the captives. A loving cup was then drunk by Druids, captives, and Bohemians. Mephisto and a number of devils rushed in and attempted to rescue Care from the catafalque. The devil made an impassioned address, saying that goodfellowship was a mockery and that care could not be banished. Then the Druid leader drove them into the woods with a lighted torch, which he at once applied to the funeral pyre. After this came the low jinks, a species of amateur minstrel show. Then the Bohemians retired to their tents and to such sleep as the wags and practical jokers of the club permitted them to take."

One of the things that blew my mind was there's a owl hidden on the $1 bill that looks like the owl at the Bohemian Grove.

[citizenx]

Whoooooooooooooo put that there?

This owl may be "Lucifer". 

[citizenx]

No, the Owl is Isis.

As in, The Veil of Isis. (Theosophy)

As in Isis, Osiris and Horus (Freemasonry initiatory ritual -- first three degrees).  Death and rebirth.

Isis=666 (a number holy or sacred to her -- like the five-pointed star, Sodpet or Sirius).

While everybody is looking for Satan and Lucifer, they completely miss Isis.

I was just talking to someone about this the other day. The owl is ever pervasive in society.

There is an owl built into the roads of Congress:



And, there is a building in Austin, TX that was specifically designed to look like the androgenous owl called the Frost Bank building:



Here it is at night, when it was intended to be admired, because owls are nocturnal:



Ever seen the National Press Club logo:

The owl is also symbolic of Lilith.

Owls are also a symbol of death. A nice innocuous synonym for the elites favorite, the skull.

He doesn't look terribly unhappy in that picture, considering he said he didn't like that "faggy" event (or did he?)

“Henry Kissinger Breakfast” at the Grove, Kissinger gives a talk about the current state of affairs in the world. At this breakfast (where as a joke Mr. Kissinger and guests get serenaded by mariachis) were Bill Gates, Colin Powell, Steve Wynn.
