The legend grew that King Wenceslaus IV executed John because he had heard the Queen's confession and would not reveal her secrets. 

 Charles Warren Stoddard suggested John of Nepomuk be adopted as the patron saint of the Bohemian Club in 1882. A statue was installed a few months later, and a replica stands opposite the Owl Shrine at Bohemian Grove.

 MIDSUMMER

 Since the founding of the club, the Bohemian Grove's mascot has been an owl, symbolizing wisdom.
