Occult Symbolism: Kanye West's Esoteric XXL Cover

Kanye West is once again cursing gracing the cover of XXL magazine in next month's issue.  As Kanye continues to become more blatant with his occult propaganda, everything he does seems to be connected somehow.  This cover is no different.

In the cover, Kanye is seen in an image that is reversed at the bottom, with the words "Love/Hate" across him (each word on opposite image).  This design of this image, however, has a much more esoteric meaning.  In esoteric belief, mostly of Rosicrucian practice, their is a concept of mirror imagery called "As Above, So Below".  According to most occultists, it is a sign of perfection, becoming one with yourself reaching a level of godhead.  In the occult book Codex Magica,  there is a much more sinister truth to this symbolism:

"This is the meaning of the double headed eagle, the androgynous joining of man and woman; the mixing of ying and yang; the checkerboard black and white floors of Masonic lodges; the mirror images of Rosicrucians.....All fields, all things, must be reversed.  Negative must be transmuted into positive.  Bad will be good.  Black shall be white.  The ugly shall be adjudged beautiful and the beautiful is to be spoiled, scarred, and made repugnant and revolting.  God shall be debased and Satan exalted." - Codex Magica, p. 237

"As Above, So Below" Esoteric Parallel

In the magazine, there is supposed to be a large exposé about Kanye (written by himself) and the direction of his new album, Dark Twisted Fantasy.  I doubt there will be a lot of "exposing" in this article as there will be "justifying" however.

Open Your Mind,

Justify
