The Artist Formerly Known as "The Artist Formerly Known as Prince" Is Now Formerly Alive

Prince Rogers Nelson has died, on April 21, 2016. Prince was born on June 7, 1958, in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and created the "Minnesota Sound."

During his career, Prince was not shy about using the twilight language of the All-Seeing Eye on his album/CD covers. Some feel he felt tied to the Illuminati. Others feel he was anti-Illuminati.

The symbol below was what took the place of Prince's name when he dropped his formal moniker for awhile.  It mwould soon be dubbed "The Love Symbol" and Prince would be referred to as "The Artist Formerly Known as Prince," "TAFKAP," or simply "The Artist". Later, when he changed his name back to Prince again, he was sometimes called "The Artist Formerly Known as 'The Artist Formerly Known as Prince'".

Prince postponed two performances from his Piano & A Microphone Tour on April 7, 2016, at the Fox Theatre in Atlanta, Georgia, stating that he was "battling the flu." On April 15, the artist's private jet was forced to land in Illinois so that he could seek medical treatment for influenza-like symptoms, after performing the rescheduled Atlanta concert the day before. He was seen in public the following evening in Minneapolis, when he stopped at the Electric Fetus on Record Store Day, and made a brief appearance at a dance party at his Paisley Park Records recording studio complex in Chanhassen, Minnesota, stating that he was feeling okay. Prince died on April 21, 2016 at 10:05 a.m., at the age of 57, having been found unresponsive in an elevator that morning at his Paisley Park complex.

Denise Katrina Matthews (born January 4, 1959), better known as Vanity, died on February 15, 2016.  She was a Canadian singer, songwriter, dancer, actress and model, who turned away from her music and acting career to concentrate on evangelism. Her career lasted from the early–1980s until the mid–1990s. In 1980, she met Prince at the American Music Awards. Prince renamed her Vanity, as he considered her to be the female form of himself. After learning that Vanity could sing, Prince asked her to become the lead singer of the girl group Vanity 6. Due to her kidney problems which were caused by years of drug use while she worked as a performer, she had to undergo peritoneal dialysis five times a day (each session was 20 minutes long). She suffered from sclerosing encapsulating peritonitis, a rare complication of a peritoneal dialysis, and died in a Fremont, California, hospital on February 15, 2016, from renal failure. She was 57 years old.

The origin of the name Chanhassen comes from the Dakota word chanhasen meaning "sugar-maple tree" (chan, tree; haza, a tree with sap).

The Paisley Park Studios, where Prince was found dead, was named after his song of the same name. The studio was designed by architecture firm BOTO Design Architects of Santa Monica, California, and was completed in 1988. BOTO Design Architects is an architecture, acoustic, and interior design firm with studios in Santa Monica and Colorado. It was founded in 1983 by Principal architect Bret Thoeny in Venice, California.

Paisley is a Scottish name that means "church." The name Paisley comes from a town in Scotland that made the Indian/Persian design we know today as "paisley" famous with shawls woven in their textile mills during the 1800s. Since this pattern had its roots in the cottage industries of Paisley Abbey, it is interesting to note the word "Paisley" itself is a Scottish derivation of the Greek word, "Basilica" meaning "church". Today, the link to the 1960s is a visual recognition of this distinctive intricate pattern of curved, feather-shaped figures based on a pine-cone design from India.

"Paisley Park" is a song by Prince and The Revolution. It was the first single released in some international markets from their 1985 album, Around the World in a Day. The song has a psychedelic feel, similar to some of The Beatles' later work with echoed guitar and finger cymbals. The lyrics describe a Utopian place that one can feel in their heart, despite the chaos of the world around them. "Paisley Park" was recorded before Purple Rain was completed, indicating the new direction Prince wanted to take after the success of that album and film. 

New Year's Eve Party, Fergie, Lady Gaga, Madonna, and the Illuminati

Happy New Year 2015.

Last night saw the annual televised dropping of the ball in New York City's Times Square, via the ghost of Dick Clark and the mainstream national networks.

Also, once again, the rock entertainer Fergie appeared, flashing what some have said are Illuminati hand signals. Were they? Some were merely linked to "L" and "A" for Los Angeles, we are told.

But what is this thing the rock music industry has going on with the overt showing of alleged Illuminati signaling?

From 2011.

Certainly, Lady Gaga makes no mystery about her hand signs being Illuminati-inspired. Look at the All-Seeing-Eye imagery behind her symbol-packed act, below.

Madonna in Desperately Seeking Susan (1985) wears her dark metallic jacket with its gold and red brocade pyramid under the All-Seeing Eye. Madonna's choice of jacket has been acknowledged by many writers as her first public homage to the Illuminati.

What messages do these individuals wish to project?

What does it all mean?

A Wild Illuminatus Appears!

I got married on Halloween 31.10.13, for the third and last time, at Kettle Cove on Crescent Beach, Cape Elizabeth, Maine. I await my kind readers' synchromystic analyses of the date, location, and more for that event.

Meanwhile, I continue to capture photographs in the wake of that day.

A reception was held during the evening at the International Cryptozoology Museum.

A few people came in costume, and I've posted some of those folks' images on my Facebook page. That seems the appropriate venue, in general.

However, a couple people showed up that frequent this part of my Fortean life. I share with you one today who regularly makes thoughtful contributions to this Twilight Language blog:

OKC's All Seeing Eye

The Oklahoma City National Memorial is usually photographed from a distance.

But what happens when you look closer? As noted in Ritual America, there is another landscape out there that remains hidden from most of us.

Today, at the April 19, 2012 services, Red Dirt Reporter Andrew W. Griffin took some time and looked more deeply. He shares his photograph, below, of what he found on the OKC Memorial:

TWC's Eye of Ra

Symbolic twilight language is all around us. Take the Eye of Horus or Ra.

The Illuminati Observer recently overviewed some manifestations of the All-Seeing Eye.

Of course, the example most often given is the United States Great Seal, found on the reverse side of the dollar bill.





One I'd like to mention is tied to the means by which I use to communicate via the Internet, my web provider, Time Warner Cable.



There can be little doubt that the TWC logo is a stylized Eye of Horus, a form of the All-Seeing Eye.



The Eye of Horus, Wedjat, (previously Wadjet and the Eye of the Moon; and afterwards as The Eye of Ra) or ("Udjat") is an ancient Egyptian symbol of protection and royal power from deities, in this case from Horus or Ra. The above object from Egypt is on exhibit at the Louvre.

The sun deity is Ra (Re). The symbol is seen on images of Horus' mother, Hathor or Isis, and on other deities associated with her.

Wedjat was a solar deity and this symbol began as her eye, an all seeing eye.



Parts of the symbol were used to write fractions in Egyptian hieroglyphic orthography.
