"ILLUMINATED POWER"

Kanye West - Power

In this video, we discover who really holds the “power” in the world. As it was the case for paintings of the neo-classic era, each object, each symbol and each detail in the video conveys an important meaning. Many symbols in the video have a deep occult meaning and many of them point to Freemasonry and Mystery schools.

Here are some of the symbols found in the video.

1. The Eyes

The video starts with a close-up of Kanye West with glow-in the-dark eyes, as if he was “illuminated” from within. He stands between infinite rows of Ionic columns, which represent “wisdom” in Masonic symbolism.

2. The Pillars  

The occult meaning of the twin pillars is ancient, profound and present in the symbolism of almost all mystery schools of history. There are many layers of interpretation attributed to the two columns, but one constant is always present: The pillars represent the entrance, the gateway to the world of initiate. Behind the columns can be found the key to the Mysteries and, consequently, the source of true power. This concept has been used in many cultures and schools of thought.         

  

3. Horned Girls

The entrance of the gateway of pillars is guarded by two horned girls holding a staff. Their features are very reminiscent of depictions of Isis and Hathor, goddesses of ancient Egypt. Another allusion to Egyptian magic.

4. The Sword

The sword on Kanye's head is the representation of Damocles anecdote and Dionysius sword. The tale of the sword personifies the constant danger faced by those in position of power. Kanye stands in a state of impending doom, knowing he can be executed at any time.
