BEST OF TST (9/5/23) Burned Out Man: Burn the Man Save the Witch

BEST OF TST: Over the last seven days singers Jimmy Buffett and Steve Harwell passed away, a music festival called Electric Zoo spiraled into chaos after reaching capacity, and the Burning Man festival was inundated with rain and mud. Buffet died September 1st and Harwell on the 4th; Electric Zoo and Burning Man deteriorated over Saturday the 2nd and Sunday the 3rd. Last Tuesday was also the anniversary of Princess Diana’s death - August 31, 1997. What makes this all peculiar and perhaps more than just the algorithmic cycle of parallel news stories is that Princess Diana’s death on the 31st, all those years ago, took place on a day considered by many to be an inverted, or Satanic, version of what is normally celebrated on August 13th. On the Ides of August the ancient Romans celebrated the FESTIVAL OF TORCHES or Nemoralia in honor of Diana. It usually took place on a LAKE. But on August 31 Diana becomes Hecate in the underworld when her light is extinguished and her waters dry up. The inversion of the torches themselves also do not extinguish them, as they go on to illuminate the infernal. How interesting is it then that Burning Man, which culminates with the burning of an effigy of the ‘man’, takes place on a dried up ancient lakebed between August 27 and September 4, when attendees leave. This means that Burning Man is essentially a seven day festival and that August 31 falls dead in the center of the event. The festival location itself is called Black Rock City, in northwestern Nevada, a name which has incredible occult significance, but particularly in relation to Hecate because her ‘color’ and stone are black obsidian - black rock. This year the dried up lakebed was refilled with flood waters that prevented 70,000 people from leaving. The flooding began on Saturday, the day of Saturn or Hecate. But this still didn’t stop festival goers from burning the man under the moon on Monday, or moon-day, night, the day of Diana. All of this may therefore sound far more than just a fun ritual of music, camping, and some fireworks. Instead, it sounds like the death of major celebrities at the start and finish of a weekend of disaster and chaos, which just so happens to have very strong connections to ancient festivals of fire, lakes, the underworld, black rocks, and sacrifice. Even more disturbing is the reported and then scrubbed supposed case of ebola at Burning Man this year, a condition in which the person has black vomit. With the excessive trash left behind by festival participants, the famous use of drugs and sexual debauchery, and the like, Burning Man is nothing more than a ritual honoring of the sacred black stone and the witch-goddess Hecate. Travis Scott also announced this weekend, on September 1, his first world tour since the Astroworld disaster. The tour is called Utopia and aims to open up a New World.-FREE ARCHIVE & RSS: https://www.spreaker.com/show/the-secret-teachingsTwitter: https://twitter.com/TST___RadioFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/thesecretteachingsWEBSITE (BOOKS, RESUBSCRIBE for early show access): http://thesecretteachings.infoPaypal: [email protected]: $rdgableBuy Me a Coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/tstradioSUBSCRIBE TO NETWORK: http://aftermath.mediaEMAIL: [email protected] / [email protected]
