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]

In 777 (1909), Master Therion identifies 28 as his number of triumph and strength. Crowley writes “28 [7 + 7 + 7 + 7]. Attainable; and, so useful. ‘My victory,’ and ‘My power,’ says the Philosophus.” On Saturday, December 7, 2024, Heritage Auctions sold a screen-worn pair of the Ruby Slippers for $28 million (the final bid) in Dallas, Texas, the location of JFK’s assassination, and where Jack Ruby dispatched Lee Harvey OZwald, 61 years (6 + 1 = 7) earlier, continuing to remind us the curse is active.
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.
Rob pre-recorded one of his annual Masonic-Halloween Specials last weekend with The Farm, discussing the the Aeon of Horus masterpieces Immaculate (2024) and The First Omen (2024). Rob will be on with Nyx of Stygian Charters this weekend analyzing Late Night with the Devil (2024) and Longlegs (2024), both Crowleyan-Ozian productions. These two kabalistic episodes will be released around Samhain, so check back for updates!
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…
Join Rob when he will be live at 7:00 p.m. EST this Friday night, September 6th, 2024, on WTFRICK LIVE analyzing the Rainbow-OZ death hex among other esoteric topics. To watch this show, click on the YouTube link.
Rob makes his first appearance on the brand new podcast Stygian Charters! Hosted by the incomparable Nyx, listen to Rob discuss occult symbolism in film, but more critically, begin to breakdown the Rainbow-OZ death hex, also known as The Wizard of Oz killing curse, the subject matter of his forthcoming books. Rob will be returning to Stygian Charters in October for his annual Halloween Special; in the meantime, enjoy this awesome podcast! To listen, click the banner:
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.
The number 42 is the Great Number of the Curse. – Aleister Crowley, Liber CCCXXXIII, 1913
This curse loves to overlap. – Robert W. Sullivan IV
On September 11th, 2001, Thelemic Flight 93’s departure from Newark was delayed 42 minutes due to heavy airport congestion, and 42-year-old Terry Butler witnessed its downing while working at Stoystown Auto Wreckers near Shanksville, Pennsylvania. Years later, another Key Stone State Butler, this time Butler, Pennsylvania, which has a value of 77 using Pythagorean reduction,[1] the scene of a failed assassination attempt on President Trump. It is worth noting that Trump World Tower in New York City measures 77 by 144 feet (its luxury suite is 77B); the latter number is 122, the Apocalyptic Book of Revelation’s pervasive number, and per Aleister Crowley (1875-1947), signifying the twelve houses of the zodiac, i.e., the termination of the Abrahamic Faiths in favor of the Aeon of Horus, indicated by the skyscraper’s 72 floors, to wit the Precession of the Equinoxes.[2] Unsurprisingly, Butler syncs with four other Butlers; the first is Butler Haynes Park in Illinois, the state where Lyman Frank Baum wrote The Wizard of Oz, the venue for the Prairie State’s 2024’s Wizard of Oz festival. The second is broadcast performer Daws Butler (1916-1988), who voiced both the Scarecrow and Oz the Great and Powerful on the television show Off to See the Wizard (1967-1968). The third is William Butler Yeats (1865-1939), who Master Therion combated using supernatural forces, and the fourth is overlap, one of the hex’s favorite fingerprints: one of first anti-Chinese coronavirus isolation images emerged from Columbia University’s Butler Library in February 2020, right before COVID-19 struck the United States.[3] The Dark Mother makes a cameo (as she always does): Trump’s would-be assassin was from and lived 42 miles from Butler in Bethel Park, Pennsylvania; the latter’s tallest point is Rocky Ridge in the southwestern area, which is 420 meters high, and the borough is 93% Caucasian,[4] harkening back to the doomed Shanksville flight. Corey Comperatore (1974-2024), who was killed in the ambush, was a member of Cabot Church, and C is the third letter of the alphabet, giving us our daisy chain of 3s, IDing Choronzon’s hidden hand. Of Course, Cabot Church is located at 707 (77 minus the zero) Winfield Road. Cinema Symbolism OZ coming soon…
Easter egg: there were 22 Secret Service Agents at the rally in Butler, and 22 signifies the number of letters in the Hebrew Alphabet, the 22 cards of the Major Arcana and paths of the Tree of Life/Wisdom, suggesting completion of imperfection and fatal finality per Crowley, the dreaded dyad at play with the kabalistic shells or Kelippot.
