Horus is an ancient Egyptian deity that has an extreme importance in occult mysteries. The next thing that catches the viewer’s eye is most probably that gigantic chain with Horus’ head as a pendant. He stands between an infinite row of Ionic columns, which represent “wisdom” in Masonic symbolism. The video starts off with a close-up of Kanye West with glow-in-the-dark eyes as if he was “illuminated” from within. We will, therefore, look at the meaning of the symbols displayed in the video as they appear in the shot. By doing so, the director clearly states what type of power is being presented in the video. As we will see later, many symbols in the video have a deep occult meaning and many of them point to Freemasonry and Mystery schools. 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, a meaning that is needed to understand the entire story.

It differs from the MTV norm in many regards, whether you look at the content or the form. Rapper and producer Kanye West has always found a way to stand out from the crowd. We will look at the meaning of those symbols as they appear in the video. By decoding the occult meaning of the symbols present in this moving tableau, the viewer discovers who really holds the “power” in the world and understands the story of Kanye West’s initiation. Kanye West’s “Power” is a short, almost stationary video that manages to tell a profound story in symbolic language.
