So...for those NOT familiar with Burning Man and it's affiliated regional burns like Transforms, Apogaea, etc, there are usually two, sometimes three burns held over th course of the weekend festivities.
The first burn is usually the Temple Burn. There can be multiple temples burned on successive nights. The last burn of the weekend is ALWAYS "The Man."
As I'm sure you've already imagined, they're symbolic of deep occult significance. Everyone gathers around these structures and watches performances by various groups, usually involving fire poi, fire staffs, etc. Fireworks are then launched, and last is the Burn itself. Everyone watches these structures burn down, then gathers in a circle and dances around the structure in a circular pattern.
After that, the debauchery really begins.
Yes, I've been to a few regional burns myself. And I can say with 100% certainty, the debauchery runs deep. Definitely NOT a place to take children, however, children can be seen at most, if not all of these events. There are family oriented regional burns where full on nudity and debasement/debauchery is not allowed, but these burns are rare and only happen in areas where public nudity is illegal. States like Tennessee.
I started going to them before I figured out the true significance and meaning behind the celebrations. So don't hold it against me.
Most of these are actually held by good natured humans, unaware of the deeper, darker occult significance behind Burning Man's creation. And most people that attend these events are just looking for a deeper spiritual connection to their fellow humans. It's a place designed to make everyone feel at home, regardless of religion, gender, ethnicity, or any other grouping. HOWEVER, drug/alcohol abuse runs rampant, among other things, notably sex themed camps. Those camps don't show up to th regional burns where public nudity isn't allowed.
This year's Burning Man has 3 burn events.
I'll leave it up to you to discern their meanings. Suffice it to say, one at l ast will jump off the he page at you. Just do a typical interwebs search and you'll be able to dig deeper. The link I've provided is just to get you started and familiar with the main event.
