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.
Here’s a shocker: the name Ryan Wesley Routh has a sum of 77 using reverse Pythagorean reduction.[1] One cannot help but notice the Baphometic pentagram behind him, and it’s only a matter of time before The Wizard of Oz, The Dark Mother (42), Choronzon (333), and 93 turn up. More forthcoming…
[1] R/9 + y/2 + a/8 + n/4 = 23, W/4 + e/4 + s/8 + l/6 + e/4 + y/2 = 28, R/9 + o/3 + u/6 + t/7 + h/1 = 26; 23 + 28 + 26 = 77.
Rob returns to the airwaves in October with appearances on Stygian Charters and The Farm for two brand-new Masonic-Halloween Specials! Stay tuned for details.
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.

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 Aleister Crowley, 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 Wizard of 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.
Brand new podcast! Hosted by Recluse, Rob returns to The Farm Mach II analyzing the Gnostic In the Mouth of Madness (1995) and the Rainbow-OZ death hex. To listen to this kick-ass show, click the banner:
The First Omen‘s (2024) Vizzardeli Orphanage is named after Giorgio William “the Monster of Sarzana” Vizzardelli (1922-1973), an Italian serial killer who murdered five people. Vizzardelli was born on August 23rd, 1922, 17 years before The Wizard of Oz‘s theatrical release on August 25th, 1939 (minus two days).
