Michael Wann - Occulted Rituals, Burning Man, Kirk and Pluto

We’re joined by Michael Wann for a deep dive into occulted rituals, modern symbolic behavior, and how ancient patterns continue to express themselves through contemporary culture. From Burning Man to archetypal figures like Kirk and Pluto, this conversation explores how myth, ritual, and narrative operate beneath the surface of events most people see as entertainment or coincidence.Rather than claiming secret control or literal occult governance, we examine symbolic continuity—how ritual language, archetypes, and mythic storytelling persist across time, adapting to new cultural containers. Burning Man becomes a case study in communal ritual, catharsis, inversion, and renewal, while Kirk and Pluto serve as symbolic anchors for authority, transformation, and underworld dynamics.
