The Occult Meaning Of The Weeknd’s “starboy” by MOSTEC(m): 12:56pm On Dec 10, 2016 |
Starboy features The Weeknd destroying his house using an illuminated cross. This strange scene has a powerful occult meaning, especially when one considers The Weeknd’s previous videos. We’ll take a closer look at the occult meaning of Starboy.. Leggo. |

The Weeknd’s collaboration
with Daft Punk is a somewhat
perplexing one. While the
lyrics celebrate the singer’s
fame and material
possessions, the video
depicts him destroying his
house using a red glowing
cross. All the while, The
Weeknd chants that he’s a
“starboy”, a term that has
more than one meaning. |

While, at face value, starboy
could mean a boy who is a
star in the entertainment
business, the symbolism
associated with the song
introduces an occult aspect
to it all. Indeed, the video
has a ritualistic tone which
plays on the classical death
and rebirth narrative found
in esoteric initiations. Did The
Weeknd ‘ascend’ in the
occult world, making him a
starboy?
The Previous Trilogy
In my first article about The
Weeknd
, I analysed the videos Can’t
Feel My Face, Tell Your
Friends and The Hills which
form a trilogy. When these
three videos are pieced
together, they tell a story
about The Weeknd meeting a
figure holding an apple – a
reference to Lucifer in the
garden of Eden. |
Re: The Occult Meaning Of The Weeknd’s “starboy” by MOSTEC(m): 12:59pm On Dec 10, 2016 |
This man holding an
apple represents
Lucifer from the garden
of Eden and the industry
that lit up The Weeknd’s
career.
In Can’t Feel My Face,
Lucifer literally sets The
Weeknd on fire and
figuratively lights up his
career. Here’s a summation
of the trilogy.
The story begins with a
struggling The Weeknd
trying to get people to
notice him at gigs. The
devil then lights him on
fire and kick-starts his
career. The Weeknd
then realizes that the
deal is awful so he
buries this new singing
creation and shoots the
devil. However, the devil
is not human and
therefore cannot be
killed. Furthermore, he is
rather vengeful.
Although The Weeknd
believes he is alive and
free, he finds himself in
a car accident that
nearly kills him. As he
walks into the red room,
he realizes that he
cannot escape the devil.
The devil holds an apple
reminding him that the
deal is non-voidable.
The two ladies that were
with The Weeknd were
actually the devil’s
minions and the near-
fatal accident was
actually a warning: Any
further transgressions
will result in death.
Although the devil
brought him fame and
success, The Weeknd is
stuck in a loop where
any attempts to break
free lead him right back
to the devil and his
apple.
In Tell Your Friends, The
Weeknd buries himself in the
desert. |

The “old” Weeknd sings
through the plastic.
In Starboy, The Weeknd kills
his old self again by
suffocating him. Why does he
keep killing himself? Because
each death represents a new
occult stage. He is now,
apparently, a “starboy”.
Starboy
The video begins with a
masked man entering The
Weeknd’s house.
The Weeknd, with his
trademark hairdo, is
tied up to a chair.
The masked man then gets
up and suffocates The
Weeknd with a plastic bag.
The Weeknd is killed
with a plastic bag on his
head.
When the killer removes his
mask, we are in for a big
surprise.
It’s The Weeknd! And he
shaved off that thing on
his head! There is so
much happening right
now!
So, not unlike in Tell Your
Friends, The Weeknd kills
his “previous self”. To
symbolize his rebirth, the
new The Weeknd has a new
hairstyle. The camera also
focuses on another important
item: The Weeknd’s cross
pendant. This piece of
jewelry underlines the
spiritual undertone of what is
happening on screen. Is The
Weeknd now a devout
Christian? Well, not really.
After all, he just committed
murder while wearing that
chain, so that is not a good
start. |
Re: The Occult Meaning Of The Weeknd’s “starboy” by MOSTEC(m): 1:02pm On Dec 10, 2016 |
The Weeknd passes by a
painting featuring Daft
Punk. Notice the falling
star in the background
and the black panther.
They foretell where The
Weeknd is heading.
The Weeknd then enters his
bedroom and sees something
that is not found in most
bedrooms across the
America.
A big illuminated cross
hangs in his room.
The cross literally
catches his eye. The
cross reflects inside a
single eye, the occult
elite’s favorite symbol.
The Weeknd then grabs the
cross, drags it on the floor,
and uses it to destroy his
own house. |
Re: The Occult Meaning Of The Weeknd’s “starboy” by MOSTEC(m): 1:07pm On Dec 10, 2016 |
In a symbolic gesture,
The Weeknd breaks his
gold records and the
cover of his first album.
While some might think that
The Weeknd a Christian
rebirth, where he leaves his
material possessions to
follow the path of Jesus, that
is not what is happening. The
lyrics basically state the
exact opposite.
I’m tryna put you in the
worst mood, ah
P1 cleaner than your
church shoes, ah
Milli point two just to hurt
you, ah
All red Lamb’ just to
tease you, ah
None of these toys on
lease too, ah
Made your whole year in
a week too, yah
Main bitch out your
league too, ah
Side bitch out of your
league too, ah
In this verse, The Weeknd
states that his P1 (a sports
car) is cleaner than your
church shoes (the rewards
of the occult elite are greater
than the life of a humble
church going person). He
also he makes a lot more
money than you and that his
girl (and the girl he cheats
this girl with) are hotter than
yours.
Later in the song, explains
how he upgraded to a new
table where his girl can snort
cocaine from.
20 racks a table cut from
ebony
Cut that ivory into
skinny pieces
Then she clean it with
her face man I love my
baby
So, The Weeknd is not
exactly becoming Jesus. He
is simply boasting about the
things he was given because
he is chosen by the industry
(who is represented by
Lucifer in his previous
videos). Also, this line sums
it all even more blatantly:
We don’t pray for love,
we just pray for cars
So why is he destroying his
things? Because the video
symbolizes The Weeknd
entering a higher stage in
the occult system that rules
Hollywood.
The cover of the Starboy
single cover sums up the
occult transformation that is
happening.

On the left are lightning
bolts, in the middle are
crosses (and a star) and
on the right are more
lightning bolts. There
are six symbols in each
column resulting in …
666.
The symbolism on this cover
touches upon one of the
most important concepts in
occultism: The link between
Lucifer, the morning star and
Venus.
In occult symbolism, the
lightning bolt represents
“descent” from the heavens
to Earth. For this reason the
symbol is sometimes used to
represent Lucifer who is said
to have descended from the
Kingdom of God to mankind.
Lucifer is also known as the
Morning Star and the Light
Bringer. The same terms
have been used since the
dawn of time to describe the
planet Venus. Venus is
esoterically associated with
the symbol of the 5-pointed
star and the pentagram due
to its “astronomical dance”
in the skies.
The pentagram (also
called pentacle,
pentalpha, pentancle,
pentagle, or pentangle)
is thought by some
occultists to trace its
esoteric significance to
an astronomical
observance of the
pattern of Venus’
conjunctions with the Sun
and has had many
meanings in many
cultures through the
ages.
– BC Freemasonry, “The
Pentagram”

The path of Venus
around Earth. Known as
the “morning star” and
the “light bringer”, the
planet bares the same
names as Lucifer.
The cover of Starboy
touches upon these symbolic
links and refer to a level of
higher occult initiation. The
cover depicts a duality
between two opposing
forces, Lucifer (represented
by lightning bolts) and Jesus
(the cross). When
internalized, the duality
creates the magical symbol of
the pentagram.
The symbolism of Starboy is
reminiscent of the symbolism
associated with David Bowie.
Indeed, as I described in my
article The Occult Universe
of David Bowie and the
Meaning of “Blackstar”
, Bowie had an alter persona
named Ziggy Stardust who
had strong occult and
kabbalistic leanings.

This picture in the
Starboy booklet
features the One-Eye
sign. This means “I am
part of the occult elite”.
Back to the video. After
destroying his things and
burning down his clothes,
The Weeknd leaves his
house.
Before leaving, a black
cat follows The Weeknd.
In Western folklore, black
cats were associated with
magick and witchcraft. They
were believed to be witches’
“familiars”- spirits who aid
and protect them while they
accomplish their magical
work.
Inside the car, the cat
became much bigger
and powerful,
representing the
growing occult power
associated with higher
levels of initiation.
Inside his very expensive
sports car, The Weeknd
rolls deeper on the
Hollywood Hills, representing
that he is going deeper
inside the occult elite’s
industry. |

hmmm... the surprising thing is that I have never watched any of his videos before. but I downloaded the starboy track when it was first released. |

Nice analysis. You are right. Most America music videos aren't really what they appear to be. Majority of them have hidden occult meanings meant for trained eyes only. @OP our starboy Wizkid nko 3 Likes |

This whole Illuminati & Free Mason obsession is becoming Irritating. Humans have been worshipping IDOLS/ the devil way before the birth of Jesus Christ. So what if he's a member? Should we carry placards and storm the streets? Should we protest against and boycott his songs? You believe in God almighty that's fine. He believes in Satan that's his cup of kunu. No be new thing nau. "oh he's in the occult" ... So? 4 Likes 1 Share |
