After careful research, I found this article from a student of University of California Santa Cruz. According to him, the school is only 150 miles from the Bohemian Grove, so people knew of Bohemian Grove because they either worked there or their friends have. He also secured an interview with one of the heads of comittee for Bohemian Grove. His article also includes a narrative description of what would it be to attend the careless ritual.
As we all know, the Bohemian was started by musicians, artists, newspaper reporters, and actors who wanted to start a club where they can explore art together. But as time passed by, they allowed people who had appreciations for arts, namely business persons, so their club can continue to exist. Every year, the commerce people buy out more acres because of nearby construction work for a real-state development that is a "threatened encroachment." They do not own the entire forest north of San Francisco, because they need to buy lands. Moreover, there are rumors that the Bohemian Grove are logging their own trees in an effort to prevent forest fire over their club, so it would be an inconsistent statement that they took the upper forest all for themselves because they are a nwo center. It would also be inconsistent to say that the Bohemian Grove simply elects the leaders, so that they can carry out their plans inside the club meetings. They have a complicated screening and nomination process to invite others into the club. If you're a political person in a democratic society, you're most likely have more friends or associates in the Bohemian Grove who would nominate you. That explains why presidents became members.
There is nothing satanic of the motto "Weaving spiders, come not here!" It reminds commerce people that their intent on joining the club's summer encampment is not to do business contracts, or to "weave" a more complcated business network where they have to care about seriously. Remember that word care because it will come up again later. Also, the Owl is just simply a mascot that the original founders who had not much profits came up with. The Owl is nothing satanic. If you want, you can find a coincidental demon, non-christian god, or whatlike with almost any animal.
The ritual in itself is the main focus on the Bohemian Grove in conspiracy theories. So let's delve into it. Commerce, political, and artistic people meet up for three weeks during mid-summer in Bohemian Grove north of San Francisco. For three weeks, they live CARELESSLY, free from the responsibilities they carry in their occupations outside of the club.
In the ritual, they try to burn a spirit that represents their care in the world - their responsibilities. They call it Dull Care because the responsibilities are dull, but they are in the Bohemian Club to be quite opposite from dull - to have fun and not care. When they find they cannot burn the spirit of Care, they ask the Mascot, an owl statue standing above them, what to do. It was suggested they named an effigy Care and burn that instead. Care dies. Then the "ritualists" say that "Mid-summer sets us free." That literally means, they will not care about their responsibilities outside of the world, and will now have three weeks of fun in the club.
You can imagine that a ritual with straightforward symbolisms is dramatic and suspenseful. That's exactly what Bohemian implies: artsy. This act is something artists, musicians, and actors would come up with for the members.
Again, all thanks to his article and sources for these ideas; without it I wouldn't know where to look for unbiased information.
