The closing act of Glastonbury Festival was Beyonce who headlined the pyramid stage on Sunday evening. There were many reasons for choosing Beyonce as headlining act which we will detail below. As done with the previous headlining artists, we will explain the Occult significance of Beyonce's career to better explain her choice of appearing at Glastonbury.
Beyonce is another child star with royal blood (she is related to the Queen of England) who started performing in a girl band when she was 8 years old. She was home schooled and managed by her parents but notably by her father Matthew Knowles. He quit his job and established Beyonce's former band 'Destiny's Child' when Beyonce was just twelve years old. The name was derived from the 'Book of Isaiah'.
"The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them." - Isaiah 11:6
The Fours and Eights
We couldn't help but notice all of the 4's and 8's that are associated with Beyonce. This is probably because 8 is the number of the sun and one of the popular cults of the elite involves sun worship. Even her sister Solange Knowles (Sun Angel) released an album 'Sol Angel and the Hadley St Dreams' on 18/8/08. 4 is most likely in relation to Aliester Crowley's most famous book on magick entitled 'Book 4'. It is considered his magnum opus. It consists of four sections: Mysticism, Magick (Elementary Theory), Magick in Theory and Practice, and the Law (The Equinox of The Gods). It also includes many rituals. Jay-Z is definitely a fan of Crowley as well as being a Mason and we can see him wearing Crowley's motto on one of his designed sweatshirts:
Beyonce has a number 4 tattooed on her wedding finger in Roman Numerals. Is this saying that she is 'married' and committed to Crowley and his work?
The quote from the book of Isaiah which inspired the name 'Destiny's Child' is Isaiah 11:6 which adds up to 8. The video for Crazy in Love spent 8 weeks at number one in the American singles chart. Instead of releasing another album, in 2004, Beyonce decided to make a 4th album with Destiny's Child entitled 'Destiny Fulfilled'. The lead single from her next album "B'day" was "De ja vu" which again featured Jay-Z. This went to number 4 in the billboard charts. Jay-Z and Beyonce got married on the 4th April 2008 (4/4/08). Her next album "I am...Sasha Fierce" which introduces her alter ego, sold 482,000 copies in the first week. The single 'Single Ladies' from this album, spent 4 non-consecutive weeks at number one. In June 2009, Forbes listed Beyonce 4th on its list of the "100 Most Powerful and Influential Celebrities in the World". Most notably, her 4th album which has just been released is simply titled...4, and became her 4th album to top the charts. She is headlining Glastonbury in 2011 which again adds up to 4. See the introduction for more on the 4's associated with the Glastonbury Pyramid stage and the other acts.
After the Glastonbury performance, Chris Martin from Coldplay and Gwyneth Paltrow, organised a promotional gig for Beyonce at London’s Shepherd’s Bush Empire to help advertise her new album 4. Simultaneously, a huge promotional image was projected onto Battersea Power Station.
When asked why the album is named "4", Beyonce stated ''We all have special numbers in our lives, and 4 is that for me. It's the day I was born. My mother's birthday, and a lot of my friends' birthdays, are on the fourth; April 4 is my wedding date''.
So we can safely assume that is not due to the fact that it's the fourth album and she's hardly going to admit that it's in honour of the most famous 20th century Occultist!
Beyonce's Connection With Egypt
As you will see below, Beyonce's set featured a huge illuminated pyramid throughout the whole set. It changed colour a few times but was always there. You could think that it was there just to reference the fact that she was headlining the 'Pyramid Stage' but Beyonce herself has said that she "loves Egypt" and that it has "inspired her music". She also visited the Pyramids of Giza dressed like some kind of Egyptian Goddess during her "I Am....World Tour". Another tie we found interesting, her parents went to Egypt for their honeymoon! Even the name of this world tour is truly strange as "I am" is another name for Yahweh and also for Jesus. There are seven titles for Jesus which start with "I Am" which is another reason why her album "I am....Sasha Fierce" has a negative religious undertone which mixes the Sacred with the Profane. The fact that Sasha Fierce is Beyonce's alter ego, gives more of an impression of this alter being a negative persona or entity.
Egypt and the pyramids are well known for being important to the global elite as we can see from the dollar bill, the obelisks in Washington DC and other various sites of veneration. There are even Egyptian symbols in and around the Vatican. An obelisk is an obelisk whether it has a cross perched on the top or not!
Obey!
The BBC coverage of Beyonce's show starts with presenters Zane Lowe and Lauren Laverne introducing the show. Zane Lowe was wearing a t-shirt with a small picture of Andre the Giant added into the design. This specific picture usually has the word 'Obey' written underneath but was absent from the t-shirt.
The Obey Giant was designed by Frank Shepard Fairey as a ''Phenomenology experiment'' and was designed to ''stimulate curiosity and bring people to question both the campaign and their relationship with their surroundings''. This is quoted directly from the Obey Manifesto. You might be interested to see some of Shepard Fairey's other designs to see the significance of Zane's choice of t-shirt:
The False Idol Makes History
Next we see a video montage of Beyonce's career after a bizarre comment by Zane Lowe ''You know she's gonna bring it...she's gonna bring the voice, she's gonna bring the heads, she's carved out of stone...this is Beyonce''. She was being presented as if she was a Goddess or Idol to be worshiped. During the montage, Beyonce said that Jay-Z's previous headlining show made history and it was the most exciting show she had seen in all of her life. She also said that her show was also making history as at some points the BBC were making out that she was the first women to ever headline the Pyramid stage but this is not true as Susan Vega headlined in 1989. This would mean that she is the first women to headline in 22 years which creates another 4 (2+2). Interestingly enough, this year, Vega headlined the Acoustic Stage simultaneously to Beyonce headlining the Pyramid Stage. The montage ended with the statement ''but tonight, this hallowed ground belongs to Beyonce''. Jo Whiley officially introduces Beyonce as the headlining act. To keep with what Beyonce and her show represent and channel, she was wearing a sun themed outfit by combining a pale orange top with a gold band around the neck, and a sun shaped ring:
Here Comes Sasha
Beyonce first appears silhouetted in a white pyramid in the middle of the stage. She emerges from the pyramid and performs her hit 'Crazy in Love'. As mentioned above, this is the song in which her alter ego Sasha Fierce was born. Was this done so Beyonce could invoke or become Sasha Fierce for the rest of the show? We noticed that she had an all female band who were dressed in white and playing white instruments giving the set a church-like, congregational feel. Beyonce herself was wearing a gold jacket and little else. Gold is the obvious colour to represent the sun. She also wore sun shaped gold earrings.
After singing a few more hits, we see Beyonce sing 'Baby Boy' which features a British trip-hop artist Tricky. We aren't sure if he lost his nerve or something but the whole performance was very strange as he just quietly muttered a few words into the microphone which were barely audible. Tricky was born in nearby Bristol just like Damien Hurst who produced the opening video for U2's set so maybe she just wanted to use a local artist?
During another interval Beyonce pays tribute to a man named Steve Stoute by singing 'Happy Birthday' Marilyn Monroe style. Steve Stout is an American record executive and advertising entrepreneur who specialises in tying certain elite brands with celebrities. He and Jay-Z are partners in Translation Advertising, which specializes in the multicultural market. He has worked with many elite companies such as Disney and created the "I'm Loving It" McDonald's ad campaign.
The Pyramid Altar
At the front of the stage there was a pyramid shaped terrace which Beyonce would stand on whilst addressing the crowd and getting them to sing along with certain parts of the song. She did this with 'Best Thing I Never Had'. She gets the crowd to chant ''What goes around comes back around'' over and over.
During one of her new songs 'End of Time' the pyramid glows with gold/yellow light. At first it looks like the pyramid of Giza. Then lights start emanating yellow rays which make it look more like the Masonic pyramid.
The next interesting use of symbology can be seen during 'If I were a boy'. We see a symbolic merging of the genders at this stage as the lighting creates the image of an inverted pyramid, which is a common symbol for the feminine, whilst singing 'If I Were A Boy'. The elite seem to be pushing androgynous images into our consciousness so this could be part of whatever this agenda is about.
Police Are Sexy???
Also, the female dancers were dressed in skimpy Police outfits. At one stage, they were stood saluting to Beyonce, they then went to the middle of the glowing pyramid and started dancing and hitting batons into their hands. This again mixes up the female and male principles and also sexualises the coming Police State. This has been done by other puppets of the elite such as Christina Aguilera and Lady Gaga. Beyonce and Lady Gaga have worked together on a couple of songs which are brimming with negative occult imagery. It came as no surprise that she covered Lady Gaga's song 'Telephone' got the crowd to say ''We love you Gaga!''.
The Sun King
We also found it interesting that Beyonce covers "Sex on Fire" by "Kings of Leon". Leon is another word for Lion which in turn is another symbol associated with the sun. The ancients knew that the sun is strongest during July and August when the sun is in the astrological sign of Leo. This is why it is believed that the great Sphinx of Giza was once fully a lion and not just a lion's body with a human head. This would account for why the head of the sphinx is so much smaller in proportion to the body. It is thought that a Pharaoh ordered the head of the Sphinx be carved to represent himself. The Sphinx would have also been facing the Leo constellation during the estimated time period of it's construction.
Beyonce then sang her favourite song off of her latest album "4". This was "1+1" she states "this song's about when the world's at war, all you need is love". The lyrics are basically about making love when you have been left with nothing when the world is it war. In other words, forget about all the problems of the world because all that's important is having a partner, so focus on that. It also seems strange to sing about a world war at all unless it is preparing our subconscious for what they are planning.
The Left Hand Path
If you know Beyonce's music at all, you may be familiar with the start of her song "Irreplaceable". She starts the song by singing ''to the left, to the left''. When performing this, she again went into the pyramid shape at the front of the stage and got the crowd to chant ''to the left, to the left''. She got everyone to participate in varying different ways such as men only, women only, the left half of the crowd and the right half. The "left hand path" is considered by many including Crowley, to be a negative spiritual path. Crowley called people that failed the final stages of initiation into his magick 'Brother of The Left Hand Path'. This last stage involves facing a demon in the Abyss to attain enlightenment. Others refer to black magic and Satanism as the left hand path. Either way it is insulting.
At Last
Beyonce also covered "At Last" by Etta James. This is partly because she played Etta James in the biopic movie 'Cadillac Records' and partly because she sang this song for Barack and Michelle Obama's first dance at The Neighbourhood Inaugural Ball. During the Glastonbury rendition, she played footage of the Civil Rights Movement before showing images of Obama as President. She is clearly trying to play on how great Obama is for tying him in with the Civil Rights movement despite Obama being another obvious puppet of the globalists.
Run The World
The show gave us a chance to hear the latest single from Beyonce's new album which is called 'Run the World (Girls)'. The song is very military sounding and full of aggressive energy. She again starts telling us that we are watching history in the making as no women has ever headlined. The song is supposed to be an "empowering anthem" but the video is still full of scantily clad women and just encourages women to behave like the men they are opposing.
Again, it seems to be channelling the feminine energy in a negative femme fatal way rather than in a positive way. This is being done increasingly in the media by many artists and is again part of the agenda to grip our subconscious into the base and primitive states of mind, from which we are easily controlled. This song was also played to the astronauts as a wake up call during the recent STS-135 mission. Interestingly, all three of the headlining acts have had their songs used as wake up calls to the astronauts. Two of these (Beyonce and Coldplay) during the most recent.
We Can't See Your Halo
Beyonce finishes her set with the song "Halo". She also plays footage of Glastonbury which had been recorded throughout the whole weekend. Before finishing the song, she walks down to the barrier to greet all of the fans at the front of the crowd. She does this assisted by two security guards which act as though they are presenting her to the fans. She walks down chanting ''halo'' the whole time. The whole thing gave the feeling that she was literally an Idol to the people. She walks back onto the stage and finishes the song. The band carry on playing dramatic music while Beyonce climbs some steps and dramatically descends down into the pyramid with a sun type lighting behind her. It was quite a surreal end to the show.
Zane Lowe Goes Home...
Lastly, after the show Lauren Laverne and Zane Lowe are back with the BBC coverage. Lauren starts talking about how great Beyonce was but is practically talking nonsense like she doesn't really know what to say. You can see Zane Lowe looking at the floor like he's bored! She then asks him what he thought at which point he now famously laughs and says "I was watching Queens of the Stone Age". You can see Lauren looking shocked as the camera pretty much cuts off and the show moves to different coverage. When they return, Zane is looking like a naughty child. He then starts making excuses for why he watched a different band and trying to make up for what he said by saying Beyonce "breathed fire" into her performance and that she is "Queen of the world". When the topic of interviewing Beyonce came up, Zane said he hoped he had the chance of talking to her but then said that he was sad to say that he had to leave Glastonbury to go and see his two children! This was at 3am so we highly doubt this to be true. It seems that the "Queen Bee" had refused to talk to him after he dared to belittle her show. See what you think from the edited clip below. It doesn't contain all of what was said but you can get the idea!
