Has anyone heard Taehyung's song called 4 O'Clock? Many people claim it's about Jimin, but it's about the feeling he gets while watching the dawn with a friend(mostly Jimin). It seems like it's kind of their thing to sneak out late into the night and they've always done this even before debut.
Anyways, there's a few lines from the song that caught my attention. If anyone's heard of Aleister Crowley, he's the most well-known occultist, he wrote a book called 'Moonchild'. It's essentially about keeping a girl in seclusion to impregnate her with an ethereal being(a perfect soul) to improve the human race.
4AM also falls into the realm of "witching" hour where paranormal creatures such as demons, poltergeists, witches etc are at their most powerful and evil comes out to play. The history behind this comes from the fact that the Catholic church's prayers and services are marked by the Canonical hours, which are three hours in length. Between 3AM and 4AM there were no prayers, making it prime time for evil forces.
Now onto my theory...
Lines from his single:
Today, too, I go on living just enough
Keeping in step, wearing my feet out just enough
The sun makes me breathless
The world has stripped me of all I have
Without a choice, with no other alternative,
Under the moonlight I am picking up my scattered self
I call you moonchild
We are the children of the moon
Explanation of a moonchild and the rituals:
"The Moonchild rituals are the rituals to demonize a fetus. However, the demons that are invoked are not the small ones, but very powerful ones. In working with victims of this programming, it is clear that high level demons were placed within these people at very early ages. It is believed many of them were demonized before they were born by rituals like the Moonchild rituals. Blood sacrifices and human sacrifices are always required for this level of magic."
Now as explained, moonchildren are often a product of heavy occult practices prior to birth. So if we're going by tradition, neither Taehyung nor Jimin would qualify as an actual moonchild. But in that regard, there's also never been evidence that these rituals haven't been executed on children after birth.
Quote from Moonchild:
“To produce a man who should not be bound up in his heredity, and should have the environment which they desired for him.”
More theories:
In the book Moonchild, the villa used to produce a Moonchild was called “The Butter-fly-Net”. The Monarch Project (which is named after the Monarch butterfly) is also an allusion to the Moonchild project where Butterflies are an allusion to souls (what Christians call demonic spirits).
The creation of the Moonchildren within the Monarch Project involves high level magic by the circle of Illuminati black magicians who are involved with a particular individual’s programming.
So in conclusion, do I think they are actual moonchildren? Probably not. Taehyung could just have a special attachment to the moon, I've always been drawn to the moon and am not a moonchild, to my knowledge haha I just found it interesting they would use that terminology given the occult context.
Also, RM is the one who produced and wrote the song. He seems to be the main one who keeps a close relationship with their CEO when it comes to writing and producing concepts etc. RM is known to be into philosophy and their boss majored in Aesthetics (Philosophy +Art) as well.
