‘I heard Jay-Z and Beyoncé were [members of the Illuminati], so I don’t know how I feel about it,’ Florence Welch quips about accusations.

Of course, all of this was news to Welch herself, who laughed off the accusations when she sat down with MTV News last week — even if she did find them oddly flattering.
“That’s ridiculous. Really? So people [think that?]” she asked. “I heard Jay-Z and Beyoncé were [members of the Illuminati], so I don’t know how I feel about it, because I think Jay-Z and Beyoncé are the most incredible artists ever, so in a weird way, it’s slightly complimentary. But also completely ridiculous. I’m definitely not [a member]. It’s just not true.”
So, for the record, Florence Welch: 100 percent not Illuminati. And having cleared that up, we then asked her about the imagery in the “No Light” video, which references everything from voodoo to Roman Catholicism and culminates with Welch plummeting from high atop a New York skyscraper, through a stained-glass window, and into the outstretched arms of altar boys. It is certainly open to interpretation — though, to Welch, it had little to do with the occult or secret societies, and everything to do with her own life.
“When [directors Arni and Kinski] pitched it to me, I loved the idea of stained glass … and this falling thing, to do it on a New York skyline was really important to me, and there’s some weird stuff with my grandmother about New York that’s kind of too dark to go into,” she explained. “The idea of falling from a great height in New York is intense … because my grandmother, she died in New York, and I literally didn’t think about it until we were filming and I was like, ‘This is kind of insane.’ ”

Another “witch” being foisted on the ignorant public, out to cause as much damage for the most amount of green frog skins possible. These type sell their own souls, and then spent the rest of their time in this realm stealing as many others as possible.
And Beyonce & Jay Z are “the most incredible artists ever..”??? Really??? That comment alone is a freaking “tell”, IMO.
Thanx for the continued “illumination”! LOL! ;);)
There is a play on words here.. NONE of these people are actually a PART of the Illuminati.. but they ARE being used BY the Illuminati to spread their message, symbols and agenda. So when people ask if they are a part of the Illuminatie, of COURSE they are going to say no. Because they aren’t. But they are pawns. I actually happen to LOVE FLorence Welch and all of her pagan ways. 🙂 She’s definitely being used but I feel she’s authentically a dabbler in the dark arts way before her fame.
