From Cinema Symbolism Third Edition:
An astounding Jungian synchronicity (or Swedenborgian correspondence) occurred on the set of The Wizard of Oz that defies all rational explanation. The unbelievable story was told in Aljean Harmetz’s seminal The Making of the Wizard of Oz (1977),
“For Professor Marvel’s coat,” says Mary Mayer [a unit publicist on Oz], “they wanted grandeur gone to seed. A nice-looking coat but very tattered. So the Wardrobe Department went down to an old second-hand store on Main Street and bought a whole rack of coats. And Frank Morgan and the wardrobe man and Victor Flemming got together and chose one. It was kind of a Prince Albert coat. It was black broadcloth and it had a velvet collar, but the nap was all worn out off the velvet.” Helene Bowman recalls the coat as “ratty with age, a Prince Albert jacket with a green look.”
The coat fitted Morgan and had the right look of shabby gentility, and one hot afternoon Frank Morgan turned out the pocket. Inside was the name “L. Frank Baum.”
“We wired the tailor in Chicago,” says Mary Mayer, “and sent pictures. And the tailor sent back a notarized letter saying that the coat had been made for Frank Baum. Baum’s widow identified the coat, too, and after the picture was finished we presented it to her. But I could never get anyone to believe the story.”
The story was published once–as an example of the lies press agents are willing to tell in order get a story into print.[1]

Rob and Vadim continue their fascinating discussion about The Wizard of Oz (1939) and its nexus to the Back to the Future trilogy, John F. Kennedy (1917-1963), and President Donald J. Trump. This is the Russian dub – enjoy!
In Back to the Future III, set in 1885, the first glimpse of the courthouse’s kabalistic clock face–its clock tower–is when it is being delivered (top), displaying a time of 10:04, anticipating the November 12th, 1955, 10:04 p.m. lightning strike that will cease it from operating. When Marty and Doc pose for a picture before the clock face (bottom), the time is 8:08 or 88, the mileage necessary for the DeLorean to break the spacetime continuum. The time 10:04 is also an allusion to the date October 4th, when there are 88 days remaining to the end of the year on the solar calendar.
In Back to the Future II (1989), the Biff Tannen wax figure’s left hand (perhaps denoting the Left-Hand Path) pinches a gold horseshoe, signifying his unparalleled good luck, but generates a weird paradox, an ill omen, i.e., misfortune. The gold horseshoe appears briefly, syncing the video homage to “Mad Dog” Tannen on the monitor, foreshadowing a future event that will occur in the past. In Back to the Future III (1990), Buford shoots and kills Doc Brown over an 80-dollar dispute regarding a thrown horseshoe; in the late summer of 1885, Doc shooed Mad Dog’s horse, but when the shoe was thrown, Buford was hurled to the ground, so he shot the steed dead (valued at $75), broke a bottle of fine Kentucky Red Eye Whiskey (worth $5) that he was drinking, and wants Doc to recompense him for both. Cinema Symbolism Third Edition is coming along nicely.
Gunpowder, treason and plot. I see no reason why gunpowder treason should ever be forgot. This Bonfire Night, make The Royal Arch of Enoch (2nd Ed., 2016) your autumn reading material, and learn more about the Jesuits, Guy Fawkes (1570-1606) the Counter-Reformation, and the kabalistic origins of the High Degrees of Freemasonry.

7. A most evil number, whose perfection is impossible to attack. – Aleister Crowley, Liber 777, 1909.
Ruth Harker (Alicia Witt) was the diabolical 7th She in Longlegs (2024), a nod to Master Therion’s qabala. Witt was cast in the role because of her appearance in David Lynch’s Twin Peaks (1990-1991, 2017), a series all about doubles and duality. Easter egg: the lyrics to “Crimson and Clover” (1968) by Tommy James and the Shondells describe Longlegs and Ruth’s meeting and relationship to a tee.
