The Mystic Bootye is a symbol that represents all an individual might want to make them happy, content, and/or more complete.

"Booty" is a word that pirates use for treasure. An "e" has been added at the end to indicate its special application in this case. And, it is "mystical" because it goes beyond the ordinary notion of things.

For a Pirate, obtaining the Treasure is life's goal. Knowing what the
Treasure is, is key.
