Secret Societies and Their Rituals

The video explores the Bohemian Club and Skull and Bones, two secretive societies. The Bohemian Club, founded in 1872, is known for its exclusive gatherings at Bohemian Grove, where influential figures like Reagan and Nixon have met. The Grove hosts the Cremation of Care ritual, symbolizing the shedding of worldly burdens. The Owl statue, voiced by Walter Cronkite, is central to these events. Skull and Bones, established in 1832 at Yale, is shrouded in secrecy. Its initiation involves Tap Night, where new members undergo bizarre rituals, including recounting personal histories and symbolic acts.
