Sheriff’s office names man who died at Burning Man festival amid flooding chaos
Investigation underway into death of 32-year-old Leon Reece
Authorities on Monday revealed the identity of the man who died at the Burning Man festivalas thousands of attendees began their exodus from the northern Nevada desert following heavy rains.
The Pershing County sheriff’s office identified the man as 32-year-old Leon Reece.
Authorities received a call around 6.24pm (local time) on Friday about an unresponsive man on the ground at the ephemeral Black Rock City, sheriff Jerry Allen.
The man was being administered CPR by medical personnel at the festival as flooding on the playa due to heavy rains delayed the arrival of deputies.
By the time the deputies arrived, Reece was pronounced dead by the festival doctor, Sheriff Allen told the San Francisco Chronicle.
The officials performed a preliminary investigation in the playa, around the area where the man was found unconscious, and interviewed witnesses. However, no immediate cause of death was determined, the sheriff said, adding that authorities were still investigating the cause of death.
Reece’s body was transported to Washoe County Medical Examiner’s Office for an autopsy and his toxicology results were pending.
Following Reece’s death, the organisers had asked the “burners” to conserve food, water, fuel and shelter in a “warm safe space”.
The gates were shut after a large downpour turned the arid desert floor into thick mud, making it difficult for over 70,000 festivalgoers to even manoeuvre through.
The Black Rock Desert in Nevada, where the festival was held, experienced around two to three months’ worth of rain, up to 0.8 inches in just 24 hours between Friday and Saturday morning.
Some attendees braved a several-miles-long walk to the nearest town or catch a ride there.
The roads were opened Monday, allowing the traffic to flow out around 2pm (local time), even as the organisers continued urging attendees to delay their exit to help ease traffic.
According to a social media account associated with the festival, the wait time to exit Burning Man was eight hours, with hundreds of vehicles standing in a queue on the main road. It said the last Burner Express to Reno would depart at 10am (local time) on Tuesday.
The annual penultimate event of burning “The Man” – a giant wooden manlike figure – took place on Monday night after the weather deterred organisers from setting it ablaze on Sunday as had been planned.

| Camper access to Burning Man delayed due to Tropical Storm Hilary rainfall, officials say BY ALEX MUEGGE AUGUST 21, 2023 1:52 PM 00:29 00:59
It’s easy to see lights of Burning Man Festival from 25 miles away The new Fox Mountain fire camera, run by Nevada Seismo Lab, in northwest Nevada caught the lights of Burning Man Festival from 25 miles away at 10 p.m. on September 2, 2018. BY NEVADA SEISMO LAB Campers’ set up for Burning Man’s 2023 festival is being delayed by Tropical Storm Hilary. The festival, which is set for Aug. 27 to Sept. 4, takes place in Black Rock City within Black Rock Desert; the city is created when a “metropolis” of campers arrive. The gategranting entry to Burning Man will remain closed all of Monday and Tuesday until noon due to the playa needing to dry as a result of the storm’s rainfall, according to festival officials. Attendees will often arrive the week before to build their camps. Festival officials said if someone was planning to arrive Monday or Tuesday with a work access pass, they should delay their travel plans. It can take 12 or more hours for the playa to dry after heavy rain, officials said. They said the gate to enterBurning Man will open once it is safe to do so. All vehicle movement in, out and around Black Rock City has stopped, festival officials said in a social media post. During peak traffic periods, authorities control traffic along State Route 447 before the Gerlach and Empire gas stations in Washoe County. “Do not drive to Gerlach to queue up and wait,” the Burning Man official Facebook account read. “Your vehicle will be turned around.” Read more at: https://www.sacbee.com/news/california/article278454274.html#storylink=cpy |

WeatherThe worship of atmospheric powers can only with difficulty be separated from the worship of heaven. In most cases the high god in heaven is also the god of thunderstorms and rain. Specific gods of wind and storm are found especially in countries with tornadoes and hurricanes (e.g., the Maya deity Huracan). Peoples such as the Tuareg and Arabs, who live in arid zones, dried out by the wind, speak of sand funnel spirits or of a desert god; such a creature is the “boneless Kon” of the Peruvians. From northern Europe to the tropical forests, thunderstorm deities rule heaven and earth. The most famous group of these spiritual beings are the Indo-European thunder gods (Thor-Donar of the Germanic peoples, Taranis of the Celts, Perkunis of the Slavs, Indra of the Indians, Zeus-Jupiter of the Greeks and Romans), who throw their thunderbolts or bundles of lightning. The Finnish god Ukko and the Basque god Orko probably stem from the same root; these gods still continue in the popular beliefs of eastern Europe or Latin America today, such as St. Elijah or Santiago. They are related to the gods Teshub and Hadad (associated with the steer and with lightning)of western Asia and also to the thunder god Shango of the Nigerian Yoruba, who is accompanied by a ram (as Thor uses a he-goat for pulling his wagon). Shango, as Yakuta, throws thunderbolts (i.e., stone axes) to the earth, as does the Mayan rain god, Chac. The goat, the ram, or horses appear as companions of weather gods or as animals that pull the thundering sky vehicle. In other cultures thunderbirds are the companions of the thunder gods or are the lightning itself. The lightning bird Zu, or Imdugud, occurs in ancient Mesopotamia, and the Garuda (with Wadjra) in Vedic India. Thunderbirds are represented (sometimes with arrows or spears in their bills or fangs) on archaeological artifacts of the Bronze Age in Dodona in Greece, Minussinsk in Siberia, and Dong Son in Vietnam and on pots in northern Peru; they are described in myths of the Pueblo and prairie Indians of North America and among eastern and southern Africans. Where prayers or sacrifices to gods and ancestors in the religious cult are not effective in producing rain, rain magic, which is practiced universally in similar rites, is often able to accomplish it. Trained magicians usually perform such rites, but ancestral priests or “persons holding power” also may do so. In rain magic, sprinkling, spitting, or immersion of people or things is often used to call down heavenly moisture. Smoke clouds to attract the rain accomplish the same purpose. There also must be suitable vestments (fresh greens, skins or pelts of water animals), body painting (representing clouds), or adornment with bird down. The colour black in the clothing or on a killed or exposed animal is believed to be especially effective. Animals held responsible for holding the rain or water back (frogs, snakes, or mythological dragons) must be challenged. The sound of rain or thunder is produced with bull-roarers, whistling, noise pots, rattles, and chains. If excessive rain is to be stopped, the injunction to perform or refrain from certain acts (e.g., the prohibition of washing, boiling water, burning objects, making noise, and whistling) must be observed. The rainbow often is considered a being, generally in the form of an animal, who swallows and holds back rain or water. The rainbow serpent (as a double bow also conceived as bisexual) is a figure that is found especially in the tropics of Africa, South Asia, northern Australia (where it is called Ungud), and Brazil. Elsewhere the rainbow is viewed as a heavenly bridge that connects the worlds of gods and men: the Bifröst bridge in the Edda, the bridge of the soul boats in Indonesia or of the creator god in Africa, and the path of the Greek goddess Iris. In Christian iconography the rainbow is the throne of Christ; among Arabs and some Bantu of Central Africa it is the bow of god, and among the Nandi, the Masai, and the Californian Yuki it is the robe of god.

Burning Man 2023: See photos of the burning of the Man at Nevada’s Black Rock Desert
After heavy rain delayed the burning of the Man over the weekend, attendees still at Nevada’s Black Rock Desert got to witness the annual burn Monday nightas fireworks and explosions marked the release of Burning Man‘s eponymous Man effigy.
The burning of the Man traditionally takes place the Saturday before Labor Day, but rain forced a delay. The burning of the temple, a solemn ending ceremony unlike the raucous Man burn, was also delayed and is set to go up Tuesday evening.
Although the roads out of the event were officially closed until around 2 p.m. Monday, thousands left before then. About 64,000 people remained at the desert as of noon, but some of those people left before the burning.

Pyrotechnics is a highly precise craft. Each and every explosion is perfect placed and perfectly timed according to an exact plan mapped out well in advance. IF you watch the video of the BURN, you will see there were many different types of explosions and effects. In the photo above you see the MAN surrounded by linear beams of light and smoke.

Burning Man, an extraordinary annual gathering that emerges like a mirage in Nevada’s Black Rock Desert, is a testament to the evolution of creativity, community, and self-expression. From its humble origins to its status as a global phenomenon, Burning Man has transcended time, turning barren sands into a canvas of human imagination.
“Respirator” by Eva Yunqi Wei (Rendering courtesy of Eva Yunqi Wei)Born from the impromptu burning of a wooden effigy on San Francisco’s Baker Beach in 1986, Burning Man’s roots harken back to a time of spontaneous self-expression. As the years unfolded, this intimate gathering blossomed into a powerful cultural force, drawing seekers of art, adventure, and connection. Through the ’90s, Burning Man transformed from an experimental cacophony into a temporary city brimming with self-reliance, communal effort, and the tenet of “Leave No Trace.” The once-desolate desert transformed into a thriving hub of radical self-expression, where elaborate art installations and daring costumes redefined the boundaries of creativity.
Burning Man’s ethos transcended geographical borders, seeding the growth of regional events worldwide. The spirit of unity, radical self-expression, and a commitment to principled living found homes in communities across the globe, turning the event into a dynamic, decentralized movement. Guiding principles emerged to anchor Burning Man’s ethos: radical inclusion, gifting, decommodification, and civic responsibility. These principles, coupled with the event’s ephemeral nature, nurtured an environment that encouraged participants to shed societal constraints,fostering an atmosphere of communal exploration, creativity, and personal transformation.

| Animism (from Latin: anima meaning ‘breath, spirit, life‘)[1][2] is the belief that objects, places, and creatures all possess a distinct spiritual essence.[3][4][5][6] Animism perceives all things—animals, plants, rocks, rivers, weather systems, human handiwork, and in some cases words—as animated and alive. Animism is used in anthropology of religion as a term for the belief system of many Indigenous peoples[7] in contrast to the relatively more recent development of organized religions.[8] Animism focuses on the metaphysical universe; specifically, on the concept of the immaterial soul.[9] |
| INDIGENOUS Etymology Indigenous is derivedfrom the Latin word indigena, meaning “sprung from the land, native”.[23] The Latin indigena is based on the Old Latinindu “in, within” + gignere “to beget, produce”. Indu is an extended form of theProto-Indo-Europeanen or “in”.[24] The origins of the term Indigenous, used to describe people, are not related in any way to the origins of the term Indian, which has also been applied to Indigenous peoples of the Americas.[25]Autochthonous originates from the Greek αὐτός autós meaning self/own, and χθών chthon meaning Earth. The term is based in the Indo-European root dhghem- (earth). The earliest documented use of this term was in 1804.[26] |
| Deification of fire is associated with En or Enji, a fire deity firstly worshipped by the Illyrians whose name continues to be used in the Albanian language to refer to Thursday (enjte) and Jupiter (Enjëti).[8][9].With the coming of Christianity, En was demoted to demonic status,[10] although his name has been preserved in the Albanian language to refer to Thursday (enj-te).[10][11] Strong beliefs in the demon of fire have persisted among Albanians until today.[
The Illyrian god Liber, the Roman god of wine, fertility, and liberty, was worshiped with attributes of Silvanus and Terminus, the patron god of boundaries. Source |

Worship of animals
Among the numerous animals that are prominent in religion and magic, the wild animals of the forests, the sea, and the air that are most important for the hunter are the most significant. Hunting and gathering societies, rooted in the earliest human cultures, believed that they not only had to kill animals—which were economically important as nourishment and raw materials—but also that they had to avoid their revenge. The feeling of a close connection between humans and animals that was lost to the many highly industrialized societies (broadly speaking) led to an anthropomorphizing of animals to such an extent that animals were not only humanized but were held responsible for crises.

Burning Man 2023: “Animalia” Unveiled
Each year, a new theme ignites participants’ imaginations, fostering connections between art, community, and environment. These themes have ranged from “Cargo Cult” to “Metamorphoses,” serving as catalysts for diverse forms of expression and introspection. In the desert’s ever-shifting sands, a new chapter unfolds as Burning Man 2023 takes center stage with the theme “Animalia.” This theme invites participants to delve into the wild within, honoring the untamed essence that connects humanity with the animal kingdom. It’s a call to rediscover our primal bondsand celebrate the coexistence of the human spirit and the natural world.
IMAGINATION – is a powerful thing. The devil loves to use it against us. What we imagine in our hearts to do manifests itself in our lives in one way or another. We may not like the way that it manifests.
Image- Probably the most important word in your life!;Part 1;Part 2;Part 3 |
| Since the fall of man in the garden, humans have been born into this world as slaves to the sin nature. THAT is the what some refer to as the “animal within”. It is our fallen nature, humanity without God’s spirit within. When CHRIST came and paid the price for our redemption. We are offered the opportunity to be freed from slavery to sin and servitude to the Fallen Angels who ruled over us. It is a choice we must make. If we CHOOSE GOD and come under his headship and follow his Commandments we are no longer subject to our sin nature or to the evil spirits who had authority over us. Embracing and HONORING your animal within is turning from God’s gift of love and salvation to submit yourself willingly to the dominion of the dark side. |
Aifurry’s Nature-Inspired Journey
In the realm where the desert meets artistry and the untamed dances with human imagination, Burning Man’s “Animalia” theme beckons us to explore our primal connection to nature. At Anifurry, this theme resonates profoundly as we merge the spirit of the wild with sustainable innovation, creating faux fur blankets that embody the essence of majestic creatures. Allow us to unveil how the “Animalia” theme and our four distinct faux fur blanket designs converge, each inspired by an animal that symbolizes unique qualities and character.
|
primal (adj.) |
| As I stated above, in this world, we are born into sin. Having a sin nature, prone to evil and rebellion. So Animalia is appealing to your childish nature. Anyone who has children knows that an infant has no concept of those around him. He is interested only in meeting his immediate wants and needs. To eat and sleep at first, just to survive. As he becomes aware of himself, still not caring about others, he is selfish, greedy, demanding and aggressive. One has to be taught to connect with others in an acceptable manner. To care about the feelings and needs of those around you does not come naturally. This New World thinking is really ancient paganism. They are drawing you back into your old nature by appealing to the child in you. You are encouraged to leave behind all that they call RESTRAINTS and DEMANDS of the World according to God’s laws and reveal in Rebellion and SIN. Not because they want you to enjoy your life. But because they want you back under their authority. I hear rebels complaining all the time about how harsh and demanding Our Heavenly Father is, wait until they are back in the PRE CHRISTIAN WORLD of Paganism. They will not have one loving God to obey, they will have COUNTLESS, REBELLIOUS, EVIL, BLOOD THIRSTY, DEMANING, DEMONS FROM HELL that they will be forced to OBEY, SERVE and WORSHIP. |
Black Panther: Graceful Power
Imagine the graceful power of the black panther—a creature that embodies elegance and stealth. Our black faux fur blanket pays homage to this majestic feline, its sleek design capturing the panther’s fluid movements. Just as the panther prowls the night with poise (seeking whom they may devour), our blanket envelopes you in a cloak of comfort, allowing you to feel the thrill of nature’s mystique.
Golden Fox: Cunning Warmth
The golden fox, a symbol of cunning and adaptability, graces our collection with its warmth. Our golden faux fur blanket captures the fox’s golden-hued coat, inviting you to snuggle within its embrace. Like the fox’s ability to thrive in diverse environments, our blanket ensures your comfort in every season, showcasing the wild’s clever elegance.
Brown Bear: Protective Comfort
The brown bear, a guardian of the forests, stands as a sentinel of protection and strength. Our brown faux fur blanket mirrors the bear’s rugged exterior, cradling you in warmth and security. Just as the bear shelters its cubs, our blanket cocoons you in comfort, reminding you of the nurturing embrace of nature.
Lone Wolf: Solitary Serenity
The lone wolf, an emblem of independence and solitude, graces our collection with its serene presence. Our gray faux fur blanket echoes the wolf’s cool composure, inviting you to find solace in its softness. Like the wolf’s moonlit howls, our blanket speaks to the tranquility of the wilderness, allowing you to experience the quietude of nature.
In the heart of Burning Man’s “Animalia” theme lies the celebration of nature’s diversity and the qualities that each creature embodies. At Anifurry, we’ve taken these inspirations to heart, crafting faux fur blankets that channel the spirit of the black panther, golden fox, brown bear, and lone wolf. Each blanket becomes a portal to the wild,a bridge between the desert’s artistry and the coziness of home.
As we journey through the “Animalia” theme of Burning Man and the creations of Anifurry, we find ourselves at the intersection of art, inspiration, and nature’s elegance. Through these faux fur blankets, we invite you to embrace the qualities of these wild creatures, to envelop yourself in their stories, and to harmonize with the essence of the desert and its untamed beauty.

Burning Man’s Playa Will Be Chock Full of Animals
Whether you’re a former Burner, a fan of Burners or packing your playa kit for 2023, it’s time to get ready for Burning Man. The gathering taking place from Aug. 27 to Sept. 4, 2023, and will attract 80,000inhabitants to Black Rock City as it springs up from the desert near Gerlach, Nevada.
The 2023 theme is “Animalia,” providing designers ample inspiration for wild and beastly organic creations. And now, organizers are sharing a preview of the strange and striking art that will rise from the sand of the playa next month.
| NONE of these are ORGANIC! They are created by man. As you can see below, they don’t want real flesh and blood organic animals. EVERYTHING about what they are presenting to you at these events is NOT REAL, NOT ORGANIC, NOT NATURAL. They are getting you accustomed to the UNREAL, ARTIFICIAL, FAKE, DESCEPTION of the NEW WORLD ORDER. The World of the Fallen, by the Fallen and for the FALLEN! |
The 2023 Theme: Animalia
“This coming year in Black Rock City, or wherever you burn, you are invited to bring your imaginary menagerie with you. Not flesh-and-blood animals, thank you very much, but the creatures of spirit that give you confidence and courage and that may express themselves in whatever art you choose to create. And, of course, to comport yourself like evolved humans, in the best sense of the word, with love and respect for our fellow creatures, great and small. Even that pesky playa chicken.” — Burning Man Project

ATABEY’s Treasure

Desert Splash
“This is a public pool on the playa—a place for play and summer relaxation—or perhaps it’s just a mirage.” — Stanislav and Irina Shminke, Reno
Atabey is the Taino mother earth spirit, holder of the moon and waters. She is worshiped as the goddess of freshwater and fertility. Oshun is an orisha of the Yoruba religion. She is a deity of rivers, freshwater, love, beauty, and prosperity. SOURCE
Honoring the Equine Spirit
“Horses have sacrificed for us and carried us physically as well as emotionally and continue to do so today. Horses hold our hearts within their own field when we are in their presence. May we hold them in return and may each holding of the heart be a prayer for a return of balance and diversity to the lands we all call home, and a restoration of freedom of sovereignty for the equine spirit.” — Amanda Allison Lila, Seattle

| Indigenous Iapygian beliefs featured the curative powers of the waters at the herõon of the god Podalirius and the fulfilling of oracles for anyone who slept wrapped in the skin of a sacrificed ewe. Menzanas was a local Messapian deity whose name literally translates as “Lord of Horses”.He was often worshipped under the epithet Juppiter Menzanas, and horses were sacrificed to him by being thrown alive into a fire.Originally formed as *mendyo-no-, the name Menzanas derives from the root *mendyo- (“foal“), attached to the PIE suffix -nos (“controller of, lord of”). The cult of Juppiter Menzanas, known at least since Verrius Flaccus (c. 55 BC–20 AD), is probably a native custom eventually influenced by neighbouring Italic peoples. In fact, the native sky-god of the Messapians, Zis (or Dis), was likewise worshipped under the aspect of Zis Menzanas. Attested by the early 6th century BC, Zis is not a loanword adapted from the Greek Zeus, but a parallel inheritance from the Proto-Indo-European sky-god *Dyēus (via an intermediate form *dyēs), and other cognates appear in Vedic Dyáuṣ, Latin Jovis (*Djous) and Illyrian Dei(-pátrous). The Tarentine god Dís (Δίς) has probably been borrowed from their neighbouring Messapians. Source |

THE race of the Cymry have not always dwelt in the Isle of Britain. In the dim past they inhabited the Summer Country called Deffrobani. While they sojourned there a great benefactor arose among them, to whom the name of Hu Gadarn, Hu the Mighty, was given. He invented the plough, and taught them to cultivate the ground. He divided them into communities, and gave them laws, whereby fighting and contention were lessened. Under his guidance they left the Summer Country, and crossing the Mor Tawch in coracles came to the Isle of Britain, and took possession of it under the protection of God and His peace. Before that time no one lived therein, but it was full of bears, wolves, beavers, and bannog oxen; no one, therefore, has a right to the Isle of Britain but the Cymry, for they first settled in it. They gave to it the name of the Honey Island, on account of the great quantity of honey they found (Britain is a later name). Hu ruled them with justice, establishing wise regulations and religious rites, and those who through God’s grace had received poetic genius were made teachers of wisdom. Through their songs, history and truth were preserved throughout the ages until the art of writing was discovered.

Invisible Trojan Unicorn
“Given the challenge of getting tickets, we devised the easiest and cheapest way to get to Burning Man: Inside the ‘Invisible Trojan Unicorn.‘” — Invisible Pink Unicorns, Los Angeles
UT UNICORNS – ADRENOCHROME – SATANIC RITUAL ABUSE OCCULT SYMBOLS EXPOSED
We are looking at a horned creature here, in Mythology the horn is associated with the devil and many deities who depict him.A deity is a God or a mythological creature that is worshipped by cult religions around the world, often satanic in nature, the same mystery teachings followed by such secret societies who carry on the traditions that all lead back to child abuse and satanic ritual sacrifice to these gods. We have the same thing here with the precious little Unicorns every one is going bat shit crazy over.The Unicorn is both feminine and masculine in appearance, its beauty is that of the feminine side yet its masculine power and muscle complexion give us a duality. It is both male and female in nature, just as is the Baphomet and other dark deities which are shown to us on a daily basis in many forms.So what we have going on here with our children and the Unicorns being shoved into their heads is programming, preconditioning. No child put them on the shelves, no child mass-produced them on a global scale, no child produced cartoons, clothing ranges, songs and toys, so who did and why?It is because they are being shown esoteric symbols and those who put them there know exactly what they are doing, It is a case of subliminal messaging just like they do in cartoons and children’s network programming.
Here we have a horned god which can also have wings, this is Satan. The term Riding The Goat (Baphomet) is a satanic phrase used by sick individuals who are performing ritualistic child abuse on victims. The term Riding the Unicorn is used in the same horrific regard.Unicorns originally had wings, it is a creature with the wings of Pegasus and the horn of a Unicorn, such beasts are idolized in Alchemy which is a dark form of magical science which often involves creating creatures and evoking spirits to animate them.spacer
Migrations
“‘Migrations’ is a migratory bird sculpture that seems to lift off the deep playa where it offers shade during the day and a light show at night. The installation contemplates the beauty and struggle of human and animal migration.” — Olivia Guethling and Mar Ricketts of Superwhelm, Portland, Oregon
Mona
“Resembling a plush toy with a pink exterior, ‘Mona’ serves as a symbol of love, warmth and childhood memories. The artwork aims to transport Burners into a whimsical world, reminiscent of Alice in Wonderland, where the rabbit guides them on a journey filled with hope, inclusiveness and freedom.” — Miao He, Shehong, China
The name’s Arabic origins derive from Muna, meaning ‘wish”.
I should not have to prove to you that the White Rabbit and Alice in Wonderland are deeply rooted in MK ULTRA Mind Control. We won’t go down that rabbit hole here. IF you don’t know…find out. RESEARCH!

Tantracles
The TantrasTantra is a Hindu and Buddhist philosophy which affirms all aspects of the material world as infused with divine feminine power. It is rooted in sacred instructional texts, composed from around the sixth century onwards, called the Tantras. Many describe rituals that transgress social and religious conventions within mainstream Hinduism and Buddhism. Some Tantras describe sexual rites for achieving enlightenment. These can be understood both literally and symbolically. If taken literally, a couple assumes the role of deities in sexual union, the woman often being the focus of worship. When interpreted symbolically, a practitioner visualises this union within their own body, the deities symbolising qualities such as wisdom and compassion. The Tantra, composed in ancient Sanskrit, recommends the union of the ‘thunderbolt’ and ‘lotus’, which can be understood as the phallus and vulva. |

That’s why I’m going to Burning Man 2023.
Burning Man is not a festival. It’s a city. A city that will emerge from the dust of Nevada’s Black Rock Desert for one week, where tens of thousands of people will gather to create a temporary metropolis dedicated to art, self-expression, and community. A city where anything will be possible, where the only limit will be your imagination.
The theme for 2023 is ANIMALIA, which will invite participants to explore their primal instincts and animal nature. As the Burning Man website says:
ANIMALIA will celebrate the magnificent diversity of life on Earth and invite us to reconnect with our own animal nature. It will challenge us to question our relationship with other species and our impact on the natural world. It will invite us to celebrate our kinship with all living beings and to unleash our wild side.
As a first-time burner, I’m eager to experience this amazing event and see what it can teach me about myself and the world. Here are some of the things I plan to do and most people should experience if they go to Burning Man 2023:
- I’m going to participate in art installations and performances that will celebrate animal diversity and creativity. I’m going to see giant sculptures of elephants, giraffes, whales, and dragons. I’m going to dance with people dressed as lions, tigers, bears, and birds. I’m going to listen to stories and songs inspired by animal folklore and mythology. I’m going to marvel at the creativity and craftsmanship of the artists who will bring these creatures to life.
- I’m looking forward to joining workshops and events that will help me connect with my animal spirit and learn from nature.I’m looking forward to learning how to meditate like a monkey, how to breathe like a dolphin, how to move like a snake. I’m looking forward to practicing yoga with dogs, cats, and goats. I’m looking forward to attending lectures on animal behavior, ecology, and conservation. I’m looking forward to discovering new ways of being mindful, playful, and compassionate.
- I plan to explore the different camps and villages that will offer different experiences and vibes. I plan to visit the Animal Farm, where I’ll meet friendly farm animals and learn about sustainable agriculture. I plan to stop by the Zoo Camp, where I’ll play games and trivia with animal lovers. I plan to check out the Jungle Camp, where I’ll enjoy tropical drinks and music in a lush oasis. I plan to find a home in the Wolf Pack Camp, where I’ll make friends with fellow burners who share my passion for wolves.
- I intend to witness the burning of the Man and the Temple, which will be symbolic rituals of transformation and renewal. On Saturday night, I intend to join the crowd around the Man, a towering wooden figure that will represent humanity’s collective ego. As the flames engulf him, I expect to feel a surge of energy and emotion. I expect to cheer, cry, hug, and dance with strangers who will become friends. I expect to feel a sense of liberation and gratitude for being alive. On Sunday night, I intend to walk to the Temple, a sacred space that will hold the memories and prayers of thousands of people. As the fire consumes it, I hope to feel a wave of peace and healing. I hope to release my fears, regrets, and sorrows. I hope to honor my loved ones who have passed away. I hope to feel a connection with something bigger than myself.
Burning Man 2023 is going to be an unforgettable experience that will change me in ways I never expected. It will help me unleash my inner animal and discover new aspects of myself. It will show me the beauty and diversity of life on Earth and the importance of protecting it. It will teach me how to live more fully, authentically, and joyfully.
If you’re looking for an adventure that will challenge you, inspire you, and transform you, Burning Man 2023 might be just what you need.
Are you ready to unleash your inner animal?🐾

What is Exquisite Animalus:
A colorful, revolving layer cake of illustrated animal charm and whimsy. The structure consists of 4 wheel frames mounted on a structure. Think of it like a heavy duty lazy susan where each layer clicks into place yet spins independently by human power. Steel handles on the 8 outer corners of each layer allow participants to rotate each octagon. Upper layers have ropes attached to the handles to help each layer move, and the lowest will be within a child’s reach.
The 32 different façade panels will be lightweight 1/16 aluminum sheets, covered and collaged with birght bold animal imagery. In addition, each panel will have a word and when the words vertically align to form a hidden message, music and lights ensue.
The sound design (crickets=still, animals=active, triumphant=puzzle solved) will accompany the piece whether in motion or still.
Interaction will offer participants a perspective on the human role in the animal world.
Risks and challenges
Both KJ & Stefan have assisted many as well as lead their own art projects at Burning Man. They are both aware of the pitfalls and challenges associated with such an endeavor and are ready to face them with vigor! Bring it on!

Polytheism and monotheism share three essential traits.
First, they are both ‘theistic’ – they share a common belief in the existence of an unseen spiritual being (or beings). The difference, albeit an important one, is whether there is one or many such beings.
Second is the belief that the object (or objects) of worship are capable of conferring blessings of various kinds on their believers. The distinguishing feature is, of course, whether one deity offers multiple blessings, or multiple deities offer multiple blessings. The crucial belief they share in common is the possibility of multiple blessings. Moreover, these blessings can be enjoyed by both the individual as well as the community of believers, originally the tribe and, today, the nation.
Third, although there are now a few exceptions, the deity (or deities) in organised religions, like their animistic counterparts, continue to have gender: male or female. The Sun Goddess Amaterasu is a central Shinto deity. Her younger and powerful brother Susano-o is the god of the sea and storms. In Christianity, by comparison, God has traditionally been portrayed as male, though some adherents today prefer to use the pronoun ‘she’. At the same time, there are few if any who refer to God as an ‘it’. Psychologically at least, a transactional, or interpersonal, relationship with a non-gendered ‘it’ is difficult if not impossible to imagine.
Similarly, both monotheistic and polytheistic deities share the personality traits of ordinary human beings. The monotheistic deity, for example, is often described as being capable of becoming ‘angry’ and ‘jealous’ in the face of disrespect or wrongdoing, yet is equally a ‘God of love’ or ‘loving Father’ toward those adherents who act according to His wishes. For this reason, it is difficult to escape the conclusion that the God of monotheism retains many of the personal characteristics of animistic predecessors, albeit at a transcendent level. (We can’t play the which came first game, because GOD created EVERYTHING from nothing. So, he was here first therefor He does not imitate anything or anyone.) SOURCE

When we light the Sacred Fire there are prayers and offerings made to Fire Itself, to the Gods of Fire, to the spirits of Fire, to the wood, to the landvaettir, Ancestors, and other spirits. The Gods, Ancestors, and spirits all deserve our respect, especially the Fire Itself since the Sacred Fire is the heart of the festival for three days it is on. We keep it day and night; to do otherwise is to extinguish the heart of the festival, and to insult the Fire, the Gods, Ancestors, and spirits we have asked to be with us in Its heat and light, to sit with us by it and to speak with us when They will. To extinguish It on purpose before it is time is to break our word that we will do all we can to keep It lit throughout the weekend. To throw litter in It is to treat the Sacred Fire as a garbage disposal, which is inhospitable to the communities the Fire represents, and inhospitable to the Fire Itself. To speak disrespectfully of the Fire is an insult to It and the community whose Fire It keeps as we keep It. To treat the heart of the festival, the spirit of Fire Itself, the particular Fire spirit that is the Fire with disrespect, is insulting to the Fire Itself, to each person connected to the Fire, to those who form the community that the Fire is the heart of, and to the Gods, Ancestors, spirits, and so on that have been called by and to the Sacred Fire. As with people, Fire too can be worked with when insulted, and amends can be made, but it is far easier and more respectful to not have to rectify insults and problems in the first place.
The ethics of animism of and in polytheism ask us not only to consider those Beings we worship, venerate, and interact with. We must do well by Them. To do honor to Them is to do our best to understand Them on Their terms and act accordingly.
Animism in polytheism requires that each Being be treated with respect, in respect to Its Nature, Its Self. I would no more offer a white tail deer spirit a slab of venison than a leaf of grass to the landvaettir. Yet, to certain Ginnreginn, these would be quite acceptable offerings. The acceptability of these offerings, the honoring of giving them, and the good relationship gained in furthering connection through them, depends on the given Being at hand.
Polytheism must be lived; one cannot embrace ethics nor religion solely in the head. To be ethics rather than rules alone they must be lived. To be religion rather than reenactment or mental exercise, the polytheist must acknowledge the Gods as real, and worship Them. To acknowledge the Ancestors, and the spirits is to not only believe They are real, but to act on those beliefs and to hold Them in honor, and venerate, to worship Them.
For good relationships with the Ginnreginn and one another to flourish requires hospitality. That hospitality, then, entails respect. That respect is grounded in ongoing acknowledgment of the personhood, agencies, needs, and desires of the parties in that relationship. That hospitality, then, entails reciprocity between those involved in the relationship. Whether the Being at hand is a blade of grass or a God, a Sacred Fire or a friend, while these ethics may apply in different ways and in different levels of coniderations like ritual protocol, many of these follow similar lines of thought.
Is this choice a hospitable one? Is it one that respects the Being before me? Is this choice one that honors the reciprocity between us? Does this action further good relations between us? Am I being a good guest/host? Am making amends when I fall short of that in a way that is done in respect and restores honor? Am I engaging in good reciprocity?
In my view polytheism, and the animism found within it, is lived based on the answers we receive from the Ginnreginn, and how we answer these kinds of questions.spacer
Animism
Animism is a religious and ontological perspective common to many indigenous cultures across the globe. According to an oft-quoted definition from the Victorian anthropologist E. B. Tylor, animists believe in the “animation of all nature”, and are characterized as having “a sense of spiritual beings…inhabiting trees and rocks and waterfalls”. More recently, ethnographers and anthropologists have moved beyond Tylor’s initial definition, and have sought to understand the ways in which indigenous communities, in particular, enact social relations between humans and non-human others in a way which apparently challenges secular, Western views of what is thought to constitute the social world. (This new approach in anthropology is sometimes called the “new animism”.) At a minimum, animists accept that some features of the natural environment such as trees, lakes, mountains, thunderstorms, and animals are non-human persons with whom we may maintain and develop social relationships. Additionally, many animist traditions regard features of the environment to be non-human relatives or ancestors from whom members of the community are descended.
Viewed from the standpoint of today’s organised religions, animistic religions can seem ‘primitive’ and are often dismissed as containing nothing more than superstitious beliefs and practices. This belittling if not antagonistic attitude toward animism has been particularly strong among the Abrahamic faiths – Judaism, Christianity and Islam. SOURCE

Important in animism is the remembrance of the ancestors. Animism teaches that people possess immortal souls. At death the soul is free to wander near the grave, travel the earth, or enter the world of the spirits. The spirits of the ancestors participate in the daily lives of family members. Neglecting to honor them has severe consequences. Souls of the departed who did not live fulfilled lives or died tragic deaths become ghosts. Ghosts search for bodies to inhabit and often bring harm.
At death, one enters the realm of the ancestors who maintain a relationship with the family. Ancestors remain deeply interested in the family they began. They care for, protect, and punish those who seek to do harm.
Ancestors are revered for several reasons. First, as the founders of the family, they remain interested in the care of the family. Second, they have answered the question of what follows death, so they can help the living through dreams, necromancers, and visions. Third, some have accomplished great achievements, which must be celebrated. Fourth, animists believe they protect the family. Fifth, they function as mediators between God and the family.
One’s happiness in the afterlife depends on the care given by one’s descendants. Anyone banished from a family or tribe in essence becomes extinct with no one to remember or care for them.
As Christians, we agree with the animists that there is an immaterial soul that exists beyond the grave. We also place the family as a high priority. One of the Ten Commandments is for children to honor their father and mother. However, no departed souls remain on earth. According to Hebrews 9:27 upon death, one is immediately in heaven or hell. Secondly, the dead do not have contact with the living. In Luke 16, the rich man who was suffering in hell sought a way to communicate with his living family to warn them of their fate. However, he was not able to communicate in any way nor could the living communicate with him. Christians celebrate and honor the memory of our loved ones, but we do not worship them nor seek to appease their spirits. We wait with joy and anticipation in knowing we will be united again in the kingdom of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Basic Practices in Animism
In animism there are numerous taboos or prohibitions. Prohibitions are made to preserve the harmony between the spiritual world and physical world. Places or people where the life force is concentrated are protected. Myriads of taboos exist and violation of them can result in cursing of a community and must be atoned for by sacrifices.
Second, there are sacred places. Sacred places of worship exist to commune with the spiritual world. These are places where sacred power is concentrated. In Haiti there is a sacred tree where a pact with the devil was signed over 200 years ago by the animistic witch doctors. These witch doctors were most displeased when Christian pastors recently prayed over the tree and successfully commanded the spirits to leave it.
Third, there are sacred things. A whole host of objects possess power and are potentially dangerous. Stones are often believed to possess sacred power. This is one reason you can easily find crystal jewelry and other semi-precious stones for sale in catalogs and stores. Certain plants and insects are believed to be sacred and taboo. Carved images are believed to possess the spirit of divinities.
Fourth, there are sacred actions. Worship includes sacrifices of animals (including humans) or plants to the deities. The priests or shamans perform the sacred rites. Omens play an essential role; this is the origin of saying “God bless you” after someone sneezes, to protect the spirits from jumping into the suddenly vulnerable person. Signs in the heavens and certain reptiles or animals encountered in a day (such as a black cat crossing one’s path portending bad luck) may predict one’s future.
Fifth, there are sacred words. There are many oaths, curses, and blessings. The spells of both white and black witchcraft are sacred words. Words are charged with sacred power if uttered by a priest. Such words possess the sacred power, mana.
Sixth, there are sacred persons. According to Animists, Witches use their powers for good and evil. They can use their powers to protect communities from enemies. They can use their power to communicate with the gods and spirits. In most societies, witchcraft and sorcery are most feared. Witches are believed to travel great distances in short periods, kill at a distance, and master demons. Witches have supernatural powers to inflict harm on others. They can cast spells on others. They can inject foreign bodies into a victim, causing illness. Witches have the ability to communicate with dead spirits. Many societies believe they can transform themselves into animals.
Then there is the shaman or the medicine man. He can cure sicknesses. He directs sacrificial rites and escorts souls to the other world. At times he can leave his body and observe events from a distance. He is born into the family or earns the job by passing tests and rituals. There is also the sacred king. Then there are sub-humans such as trolls and water spirits. Finally there are “little people,” such as leprechauns.
Seventh, there are sacred rituals that must be performed regularly. The head of the family performs some; others require the expertise of the priests.
Eighth, there is the practice of magic and divination. The art of casting spells and communicating with the spirit world are reserved for the priests.
The Christian must be aware when his practices are influenced by animism. Often many feel that saying “amen” or wearing a cross brings protection. Others use sacred stones or believe performing a ritual will bring them fortune. A Christian has direct access to God through Christ and does not need to rely on another person of a sacred office. Also, Christians have all we need in Christ and do not need powers from the spiritual realm. Christ has given us all we need to overcome.
Overcoming Animism
As our study has revealed, fear is the overriding disposition among those in animistic religions. There are several reasons for this. First, one is never really sure if a taboo has been broken and the gods, the spirits, or the ancestors have been angered. Should one of these beings become angered, they may inflict horrific punishments. In Hawaii, there are several frightening stories about the night marchers, the spirits of ancient warriors who march along a sacred path each night. It is believed that some people have been killed because they were in the path of the night marchers.
A second reason for the prevalence of fear is that animism includes some of the most feared practices known to man. Sorcery, magic and voodoo are some of the ancient arts that strike terror in the hearts of people. It is a frightening thing to know that a priest or witch has placed a curse upon you.
Throughout the Bible and even today, believers continually encounter animistic practices and thinking. In times of crisis, many young Christians will pray to God, but also seek help from their animistic religion.
Among Christians, animistic beliefs will be displaced only when Christians transform their minds with God’s word and free themselves from the life of fear in animism. Transformation takes place when Christians understand the Bible explains the true nature of the universe. First, in contrast to the many temperamental gods in animism, the Bible teaches that there is only one God. Isaiah 43:10 states, “‘You are my witnesses,’ declares the Lord, ‘and my servant whom I have chosen, so that you may know and believe me and understand that I am he. Before me no god was formed, nor will there be one after me.’“ There is no pantheon of gods–only the one true God, and all others are false gods.
Second, in the Bible God forbids the animistic practices of witchcraft, necromancy, magic, and worship of foreign spirits. Deuteronomy 18:10 commands, “Let no one be found among you who sacrifices his son or daughter in the fire, who practices divination, sorcery, interprets omens, engages in witchcraft, or casts spells, or who consults the dead.” Those who practice these arts are entertaining spirits who are opposed to God and seek the destruction of all people.
Third, Christians do not need to live in fear of hostile spirit beings and spells. Christ, who loves His people, has triumphed over all. Colossians 2:15 says that He “disarmed the powers and authorities, [making] a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross.”
Christ has brought into submission all authorities under His rule. Not only that, nothing enters into our life until it first filters through His loving hand. God’s hand of protection shelters His people. David wrote in the Psalms, “He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, ‘He is my refuge and my fortress, my God whom I trust’“ (Ps. 91:1). When tragedy strikes, Christians understand that its purpose is not to punish believers, but to teach us new things about God and ourselves, refining our character to make us more like Him. Christians can be freed from a life of fear and find joy in a life of faith in Christ. Source
