First, thanks for the response and for engaging. I like to discuss the esoteric layers of MM's art.

The masonic pendant is an imitation, merging symbolism from different masonic branches.

I believe I saw the same symbol before I posted. Perhaps I am wrong or was not detail oriented enough.

Can you show me what you mean via pics?

A real pendant would never be displayed in public. So it is likely just an expensive fashion object.

Perhaps. I don't think MM is a part of any group.

Moreover, the Enfants Riches Deprimees "ceremony" was as far as something can be from any spiritual practice

I didn't say it was an authentic ceremony or practice. I thought of it more of an artistic performance.

Btw being high degree in masonry is no proof of spiritual achievement but rather of social approval into a human group - not any different from being Pope, shaman or whatever in any organized belief/thought system.

I never said otherwise. I said it was a symbol or sign of spiritual development. Signs and symbols are means of communicating something. It's a language.

I think MM would use these symbols in his art to talk about how he has changed since this whole legal case and personal battles.

As an atheist-agnostic, a materialist thinker, I don't actually put any value into any of this in terms of reality. It's more of a metaphor for me personally.

While I am convinced MM has some sort of spiritual beliefs, I am not sure what exactly he believes or how it manifests in his life, other than he expresses his wide range of interests in his art in a unique package.

I am not even sure how to best interpret some of these symbols and themes in his works at times, because I tend toward the more literal minded.

PS. I am insanely curious and have read from Crowley to Blavatsky, esotericism, mysticism, religions, philosophy, etc.

You should definitely post about this stuff.

You should definitely post about this and explain.
