DEADLY APPLES, MM & 30STM ◊ SACRIFICE ᛉ Pt 2 ◊ GEOMETRIC ALCHEMY

◊📼 I love music videos created by bands because they always bring the initial lyrical interpretations of the song to a greater level of scope, supporting more creative and open‑minded contemplation of song meanings and their applications to our lives. This video is no exception.

◊🔺🔥 The previous archive about this makes mention of Marilyn Manson as well as Jared Leto of 30 Seconds To Mars, and I feel inspired to continue in this theme to explore the centrepiece of the video : a burning pyramid within a dark, failed sacrifice ritual. Here, I will explore how this ritually artistic, potent image and storytelling connects to similar symbols used by Manson and Jared, as well as a pattern‑language study about geometry in mainstream entertainment media by UNITY LIFE Mystery School — diamonds2unitylife.

Triangles and Diamonds in UNITY LIFE ◊ The Communications of Ecology


◊🌹 UNITY LIFE Mystery School puts an emphasis on geometry as a universal template for functional communication that does not rely on learned languages such as English. Throughout nature, we see a hyper‑accessible language of communication occurring within our DNA, the spirals in roses, and the geometric shapes found in biological forms. This communication is not just imparting information but also serving functions, proving its own message by forming a pattern‑language of geometric meaning with the world around it.

◊🌊 For example, wherever you find spirals in nature, they tend to mean similar things (such as energy or resource distribution). In combination, all these examples phrase a larger message. In this way, I relate strongly to visual artists such as Antoine, who communicate in a similarly dynamic fashion. The message of Deadly Apples stands alone, yet when contextualized with other artists who have used similar geometry, a deeper body of visual poetry is revealed.

◊🔺🔻(⧎) This topic is well modelled in the 64 CARDS hyper‑accessible card set, which uses the geometry of the triangle (commonly associated with the pyramid) to explore the up and down direction of this shape by combining two triangles into a diamond. The corresponding diamond‑shaped 72 FACETS (IN 144) and 16 KEYS were designed that way as an echo of the original ecological “pattern language” teaching of the 64 CARDS. Since the Mystery School explores entertainment media in this way, the information in this archive is one main vein of poetic reasoning behind my choice of the diamond shape (among others).

The Triangle with 1 and 2 Horizontal Lines ◊ Alchemy or the Illuminati? (30STM)


◊💍 Air in alchemy represents intellect, breath, communication, and balance — significant concepts for any vocal or musical artist. Yet this has been Jared’s only emphasized element, making it obviously of double meaning. It seems Jared’s intention is to put the Great Pyramid and its darker symbolism into perspective with alchemy as a transformational, healing notion.


◊🔺(=) The pyramid burned in Deadly Apples’ music video contains not one but two horizontal lines through the centre, unlike the classic alchemical Air symbol. However, there is a modern variation in later occult and mystical systems where symbols were elaborated to carry layered meanings. Two‑line versions of this Air element do exist, exploring ideas like higher & lower air, mind & spirit integration, and higher & lower forms of thought. This notion blends well with the rune at the top of the pyramid in the video, ᛉ (Algiz / Elhaz), representing connection to higher realms (a person reaching upward). All this aligns perfectly with the pyramid‑with‑capstone theme.

Alchemizing the Symbolism of the Pyramid ◊ Transformational Music Culture

◊🧬💎 I think for Deadly Apples as well as 30STM, the use of the Air element in alchemy to refer to dynamics of the Great Pyramid of Giza and its heavier, darker symbolism is intended to imply an alchemical, transformational effect against the doom‑like atmosphere of inequality and dominance infused by society’s sickness.

◊❤️‍🔥🎶 Most musical artists would be honoured if anyone felt they were offering solutions to these problems through the healing power of music, art, and culture. But the most exciting bands to me are the ones who perceive transformational paradigms — a grand scheme or intrinsic process of resolution — and aim to convey that type of inspirational material.

◊🔥🖤 There are many ways of interpreting the story in this video, which is part of the beauty of this art. But I would definitely say it appears these dark ritualists were burning their own symbol, showing how they naturally destroy themselves and their own devices by their own system of undoing others. Here, Alex and Antoine escaped what was going to be a sacrifice of their bodies burned alive, leaving only this terrifying symbol to burn without them.


◊✊ But also, if you step back into the making of the video, you realize that Deadly Apples are really the ones technically burning this symbol, as burning can also be a form of protest. The burning of an effigy in protest is best done with an artistic statement — and this one is very true, and very comforting.

KKK Cross‑Burnings ◊ The Antithesis of SACRIFICE ᛉ

a healthy and positive influence. SACRIFICE ᛉ reminded me of the elation I found in Marilyn Manson’s genius art statement of burning a cross made of vintage television sets on stage — a truly dynamic and layered statement rich with intellectual wisdom and creative prowess.

As Sick As The Secrets Within by MM ◊ Alchemy & the Pyramid Mirrored

◊🔺(☿) The same types of meanings as SACRIFICE ᛉ are found in Marilyn Manson’s use of the Air Element or pyramid‑with‑capstone symbol in his 2024 music video As Sick As The Secrets Within. This symbol semi‑subliminally flashes on the screen a few times throughout the video, and fan theories connect it with other similar symbols alluded to, such as the symbol of Mercury as referenced by the chalice. Mercury’s element is not Air but Heavy Metal — which is also the musical genre of MM and one double-meaning artistic reason for Manson’s rich history of using this symbol. However, mercury also represents “as above so below,” the antithesis of the pyramidal hierarchy oppression theme.

◊🔑 When I first saw that video, Jared Leto and 30STM were a huge inspiration in my life, and I was very entertained to see that Manson had done like Jared and used the Air element as a covert allusion to the pyramid. In Manson’s case, he often super‑obviously uses the pyramid or triangle shape in reference to the Illuminati (or similar ideas, which in his case might have a lot of context with the church), so I was fascinated to see him finally use the alchemical Air element for the first time.

◊🔼🔽(⧎) Just as I intended with the 64 CARDS in diamond‑shaped geometry, the combination of the triangle and the concept of equality in direction between up and down represents protest against hierarchical oppression — similar to burning the pyramid as an effigy in protest like Deadly Apples through the BTS making of their video.


◊🃏 The 64 CARDS are an egalitarian All Ages & Abilities ecological education set which allows young, old, and people with learning disabilities or language barriers to have equal access to strategies as any learner, through a process of choosing a direction of up or down to a geometric design in a diamond. The two directions of triangles are about freedom of choice. This is a statement against the damaging potential of oppressive hierarchy within learning environments in which learners are treated as lower ranking or inferior — which is counter‑productive to safe and successful learning.

Diamonds 2 UNITY LIFE ◊ A Pattern Language In the Media


◊💎 It was very special to me when I presented a hand‑printed set of the 64 CARDS to Manson and his wife Lindsay in person, knowing that this aligns so well with his work. The history behind that gift dates back to 2018 when I first began an enormous — no, megalithic — pattern‑language study of rhombus‑shaped diamonds (of Fibonacci Golden Ratio proportions) in the media, which has since expanded to include triangles within cases like SACRIFICE ᛉ and Jared Leto’s tattoos, as well as Manson’s ASATSW music video. Manson’s sweater released through his merch store with a rhombus diamond and his logo in the centre was among the first items that began this monumental super‑study, which I call diamonds2unitylife.

◊🔍 The study is a positive and beautiful “secret/underground conspiracy theory” (as I humorously named it), which explores how every instance of certain geometries throughout mainstream entertainment media actually contains the same meaning universally, often expressing the artist’s clear intent. The foundational premise is that there is an alchemical or healing / transformational progression of society happening thanks to these media arts, which moves symbolically from black‑and‑white alternating squares in a chess pattern, through various morphings into rhombus‑shaped diamonds that no longer have high contrast between black and white.

Jared Leto’s Triangle Tattoos & The diamonds2unitylife Perceptual Lens

these two symbols of alchemy and the pyramid already shows his healing intentions. Where there’s a will, there’s a way. Jared’s body (or “boddah” as it’s sometimes called) is synonymous with his choices — and freedom of choice is at the root of all creation, such as spiritual alchemy.

The Intense Sentimental Value of This Information In My Life ◊ A Tattoo Plan

◊🕊 In fact, this combination of two triangles with the line through each, making a diamond, is so meaningful to me that I am already planning to have that image tatooed onto my hand. It is common in 30STM fan culture to have the triangle with the line through it tattooed, and my diamond version is going to be beautiful, and so much more significant to me after publishing this archive. 


◊💐(⧎) The amount of incredible, truly mind‑blowing stories and life‑changing events I’ve had surrounding these discoveries of geometric significance is absolutely amazing. I am truly honoured to add Deadly Apples’ music video SACRIFICE ᛉ to this meticulous collection I’ve been cultivating, mostly in secret, for seven years. Aside from Jared’s tattoos and Manson’s video, these are the only triangles or pyramids that have been included, making them exceptionally rare. For that reason, it’s very special to me to discuss these artists together.
