7. A most evil number, whose perfection is impossible to attack. – Aleister Crowley, Liber 777, 1909.
Shades of Suspira (1977, 2018), Black Swan (2010), Dirty Dancing (1987), The Shining (1980), and, of course, The Wizard of Oz (1939) manifest in the trailer; for example, Terry Gionoffrio’s (Julia Garner) light blue socks and red shoes (seen when the demon emerges) give her away, making her Dorothy Gale’s counterpart – a stranger in a strange land. Can’t wait to see this one. Easter egg: The Pale Crook is a knockoff of The Black Crook (1866), the first produced Broadway play that features a dark sorcerer as one of the antagonists. Naturally, Apartment 7A is scheduled to be released on September 27th, 2024, generating a Baphometic nexus, linking Crook to Thomas Matthew Crooks (2003-2024), who attempted to assassinate President Trump 77 days earlier on July 13th. Another Easter egg: Dracula (1931) is playing in the next theater over, written by Bram Stoker (1847-1912), who the Bramford is named after.

This Crowleyan interview is episode 6, lasting 66 minutes, for 666 = Master Therion’s favorite number and the mystic numeral of the sun.
777. Useful in a similar way, as affirming that the Unity is the Qliphoth [the demonic forces of the Kabbalah marshalled]. But a dangerous tool, especially as it represents the flaming sword that drove Man out of Eden. A burnt child dreads the fire. “The devils also believe, and tremble.” Worse than useless unless you have it by the hilt. Also 777 is the grand scale of 7, and this is useless to anyone who has not yet awakened the Kundalini, the female magical soul. Note 7 as the meeting-place of 3, the Mother, and 10, the Daughter, whence Netzach is the Woman, married but no more. – Aleister Crowley, 777 and other Qabalistic Writings of AleisterCrowley, 1909.
The Ladybird publication of The Wizard of Oz (Read It Yourself edition) is part of Series 777, naturally.
Oz Park in Chicago (so named in 1976 because L. Frank Baum penned The Wizardof Oz nearby) sits on 13.32 acres, and 1332 = 666 x 2, or Aleister Crowley doubled. Cinema Symbolism 4 coming soon…
Kevin Bacon got his start in Friday the 13th (1980), which is why he is in MaXXXine, making his appearance an art of memory trick. It looks like the Cecil Hotel also turns up, one of Richard Ramirez’s (1960-2013) haunts. Easter egg: Rob predicts that Pearl’s ghost (or maybe Maxine’s) will kill Elisa Lam during the film’s epilogue.

The number 42 is the Great Number of the Curse. – Aleister Crowley, Liber CCCXXXIII, 1912.
A little bit from the forthcoming Cinema Symbolism 4 regarding the last solar eclipse seven years ago. Note: For this post, I have removed some the book’s gallows humor.
A solar eclipse occurs when the moon blots out the sun; many ancient civilizations feared the occurrence, thinking it was a supernatural apparition and omen, believing demons and hostile entities were attacking the sun, making the supernal event a herald of doom. Some things never change. On August 17th, 2017, synching with The Wizard of Oz’s New York City premiere held at Loew’s Capitol Theatre on August 17th, 1939, followed by a live performance by Judy Garland and her frequent co-star Mickey Rooney (1920-2014), there was a solar eclipse that spanned the contiguous United States from the Pacific to the Atlantic coasts, lasting two minutes and 42 seconds (the dyad meshed with the Dark Mother is never a good thing), and was part of the Saros Cycle Series 145 for solar eclipses occurring at the moon’s ascending node, repeating every 18 years (1 + 8 = 9), 11 days (unsurprising September 11th overlap), consisting of 77 events, IDing the Goat of Mendes’ presence. The eclipse cast an Ozian shadow over three shitstorms: the first killing was on September 24th = 42 backward, 39 days later, invoking the Curse of 39, at the Burnette Chapel Church of Christ in Antioch, Tennessee (CCC = 333), when Emanuel Kidega Samson, a black nationalist took revenge for Dylann Roof’s bloodbath at the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in ’15 (vide supra–note the synchronization of the name Emanuel, God is with us, text removed by author). Samson drove a Nissan Xterra, model #WD22, which has an ordinal and reverse ordinal value of 49 (72), to the house of God where 42 people had gathered to worship, murdering one churchgoer and wounding seven others.[1] The shooter’s surname instantly brings to mind the Biblical story of Samson (i.e., the sun) and Delilah (viz. the constellation Libra feminized) recalling the Grateful Dead’s famous tune “♫ Samson and Delilah ♫,” on their 1977 album Terrapin Station. Seven days later, on October 1st, 2017, the Goat of Mendes attended the Route 91 Harvest country music festival in Paradise (a neighborhood adjacent to Las Vegas) when sniper Steven Craig Paddock (1953-2017) opened fire from the 43-story Mandalay Bay luxury hotel (4 + 3 = 7), covering 49 hectares (72), with a Baphometic phone number of 877-632-7700, killing and wounding nearly a 1000 concert-goers with a 42-weapon arsenal,[2] while the Dark Mother also lurks in Paradise’s global coordinates: 36° 5’ 42” N, 115° 10’ 18” W. Steven Craig Paddock has a sum of 78 employing Pythagorean reduction, to wit the number of Tarot cards in a deck, Rachel Joy Scott, Timothy McVeigh, etc., vide supra.[3] Mirroring Nichols and McVeigh, he was motivated by the Rudy Ridge standoff, viz. the Ruby Slippers; next, 42 days after Burnette Chapel slaughter, and 80 days after the eclipse, i.e., the Tarot’s lightning-struck tower, on November 5th, Devin Patrick Kelley, like Klebold, Harris, Roof, and Samson before him, pumped lead into the First Baptist Church in Sutherland Springs, Texas, murdering 27 (including himself and an unborn child) and wounding 22 = 27 + 22 = 49 (72), firing 700 rounds in 11 minutes = 700 x 11 = 7700, or 77 minus the zeros. The church sits at the intersection of 4th Street and Farm Road 539 = 7 x 77, 777, the Qliphoth unconquered, welcoming the Age of Horus with open arms. END TEXT
Something wicked our way comes…
The April 8th, 2024 eclipse marks the 120th anniversary of the first transmission of Liber AL vel Legis to Crowley by Aiwass (April 8th, 1904) and the anniversary of the infamous “Is God Dead?” Time magazine cover (April 8th, 1966), seen in the movie Rosemary’s Baby (1968). Its red lettering against a black background would inspire The Exorcist’s opening and closing credits seven years later. Since eclipses are usually portents, keep an eye on June 24th, ’24, Midsummer, the Feast of the Baptizer qua Hermes, which is 77 days later, and is 666 = June = 6th month, 2 + 4 = 6, 2 + 4 = 6, Master Therion’s moniker, the Æon of Horus’ solar prophet, coinciding with June 24th, 1969, when the first articles and obituaries announcing Judy Garland’s death began appearing in newspapers worldwide, forever linking the date with The Wizard of Oz (1939).
Time magazine’s “Is God Dead?” cover, with its red letters against a black background, became The Exorcist‘s opening and closing credits seven years later.Bonus Exorcist material from CS4: (Left) The “Exorcist steps” in the D.C. neighborhood of Georgetown were honored with a plaque at the staircase’s base (right) 42 years after the film’s release, unveiled on Halloween’s Eve, known as Devil’s Night, October 30th, 2015, syncing with the movie’s demonism, the date having a value of 77 using reverse Pythagorean reduction. (O/3 + c/6 + t/7 + o/3 + b/7 + e/4 + r/9 = 39, 30 = 30, 2 + 0 + 1 + 5 = 8; 39 + 30 + 8 = 77).Bonus Rosemary’s Baby material from CS4: The back of John Lennon’s Imagine album (left), released on September 9th, 1971 (U.S.), the date having a sum of 77 using reverse Pythagorean reduction (S/8 +e/4 + p/2 + t/7 + e/4 + m/5 + b/7 + e/4 + r/9 = 50, 9 = 9, 1 + 9 + 7 + 1 = 18; 50 + 9 + 18 = 77), imitates the Rosemary’s Baby one-sheet poster (right) which is set in the Dakota (Polanski filmed in apartment #77), the location of Lennon’s assassination, a Thelemic 93 months later on December 8th, 1980.
I have been getting emails from my readers and listeners who have taken it upon themselves to research the Rainbow-OZ death curse (what I call it), giving me tips, which I am thankful for. But, of late, they have been telling me the material is too dark and evil and are backing away from it. This comes as no surprise to me, as in the thirty-plus years of investigating the occult, this is by far the most sinister and macabre thing I have ever encountered, but I am used to it (and thus somewhat prepared and insulated). I can report that this hex is real, dangerous, deadly, sardonic, and extremely vicious. If you take it upon yourself to look into it, you do so at your own risk. – Robert W.
