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.

7. A most evil number, whose perfection is impossible to attack.
77. OZ, the Goat, scil. of the Sabbath of the Adepts. The Baphomet of the Templars, the idol set up to defy and overthrow the false god–though it is understood that he himself is false, not an end, but a means. Note the 77 = 7 x 11, magical power in perfection.
777. Useful in a similar way, as affirming that the Unity is the Qliphoth [the satanic 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 (1875-1947), Liber 777, 1909.
Baphomet, the Goat of Mendes, 77, becomes Dr. Dillamond in Wicked, to be released November 22nd, 2024, the 61st (6 + 1 = 7) anniversary of John F. Kennedy’s assassination because this curse loves to overlap (I’ve never seen anything like it). Lee Harvey Oswald (1939-1963) qua OZwald allegedly shot Kennedy from the seven-story Texas School Book Depository from a floor with seven windows overlooking the plaza, filmed by Abraham Zapruder (1905-1907) with frame 313 capturing the kill shot (3 + 1 + 3 = 7). JFK was riding in a ’61 Lincoln Continental (6 + 1 = 7), converted into an armored limousine by Hess & Eisenhardt, which has an ordinal value of 154 = 77 x 2.[1] Its license plate was GG, 77, and the shots rang out as Kennedy’s limo approached Route 77 (i.e., the Stemmons Freeway). Lee Harvey, the Wizard of OZwald, was thereafter disposed of by the Ruby Slippers, Jack Ruby (1933-1967), signifying the death hex. Easter egg: The Texas School Book Depository was designated a National Historic Landmark District Contributing Property (NHLDCP) on April 19th, 1993, the same day the Branch Davidian compound in Waco burned to the ground right down Route 77. Another Easter egg: Lee Harvey Oswald, was born October 18th, 1939, seven weeks (+ five days) after Oz’s theatrical release on August 25th, ’39, or 54 days later, which is 77760 minutes.
FYI: Rob’s November 15th appearance on WTFrick had to be postponed due to technical difficulties and will be rescheduled in December or February 2025.

In The House of the Devil (released on October 30th, 2009, this author’s 38th birthday), unsavory pizza turns up twice, foreshadowing and denoting the repugnant Ullmans (Tom Noonan and Mary Woronov), who hire an awkward college student, Samantha (Jocelin Donahue) to babysit a remote mansion during a lunar eclipse, wherein they plan to supernaturally impregnate her via a satanic rite. Their surname recalls The Shining’s Stuart Ullman (Barry Nelson, 1917-2007), who likewise employed an eccentric Jack Torrance (Jack Nicholson) to babysit a remote hotel where fiendish ghosts roam its gloomy corridors. In the former film, Greta Gerwig plays Megan, who, while eating greasy pizza at a diner, arms and hands imitate Levi’s Goat of Mendes’ as above, so below occult kinesics since her initials are G.G. = 77, the gesture also seen on July 4th, 1921 photo during the closing moments of Kubrick’s fright flick. Greta was born on August 4th, 1983, a date with a Pythagorean reduced value of 42,[1] the Dark Mother obviously influenced her Ozian tour de force Barbie years later, released on July 21st, 2023 = 7, 777, 7. Easter egg: when Samantha orders a pizza, she is asked if she wants “extra anchovies,” a clever nod to the comedy Loverboy (1989), meaning the deliveryman would be providing a hell of a lot more than pizzas; in The House with the Devil, the guy bringing the pizza is a demonic assassin, keeping a Sauron-like eye on the babysitter.

The designer of the Ruby Slippers was MGM’s most famous costumer, Adrian, who was born on March 3rd, ’03, which is 333, Master Therion’s number for the Dweller in the Abyss.

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.

The Goat of Mendes (77), the Dark Mother (42), and Choronzon (333) took out Baltimore’s Francis Scott Key Bridge

Baphomet’s hoof prints: Baltimore’s Francis Scott Key Bridge opened in ’77, collapsed on March 26, 2024, a date with an ordinal value of 77,[1] syncing with the first DVD release (MGM/Turner) of The Wizard of Oz on March 26, 1997, and the Patapsco River (the waterway the wreckage impeded) finally opened 77 days later on June 10, 2024. The Dark Mother hides herself (as she always does): the bridge’s global coordinates were 39° 13’ 1” N, 76° 31’ 42” W, and after its collapse, all traffic on I-695’s Inner Loop (the Baltimore Beltway) off-ramped at Exit 42 (MD 151/North Point Blvd). Choronzon also made an appearance: the incident caused jobs to dry up immediately for Charm City’s longshoreman; their Baltimore local is Union #333. More forthcoming….

Sullivan IV, Royal Arch of Enoch, The Magician, The Tarot on May 4, 2024 by robertwsullivan4Part IV is coming along really well, and I am anticipating a Spring 2025 release. However, movies that still must be viewed include The Nun II, The First Omen, Late Night with the Devil, Immaculate, and Joker: Folie à Deux. In the meantime, here is a little teaser:
(Left) The Tarot’s Magician qua Mercurius is alchemy’s change agent and archetypal trickster, becomes Breakfast at Tiffany’s bewitching Holly Golightly (right, portrayed by Audrey Hepburn, 1929-1993), a paragon of the Magician’s feminine ambivalence because, in matters of the heart, Holly can never make up her damn mind. She impersonates the Magician’s arm posture–as above, so below–with her elongated cigarette holder as her wand. The clothes make the woman: dressed in Saturnian black, the alchemist’s lead, Holly is a melancholic who suffers from acute anxiety, the hellish “reds” indicating the rubedo is the nigredo, yet as a bunco artist, she easily manipulates the men in her life, bending NYC’s chic social scene to her will. Holly’s breakfast table mimics that of the Magician, complete with a rose–the Magician stands in a garden of white lilies and red roses denoting the Rosicrucian mysteries–linking Holly to the Greco-Roman goddesses of beauty, Aphrodite and Venus, and three of the four tools of the Magician, i.e., the four Tarot suits, also manifest, viz., the coin/pentangle qua pastry, the goblet qua cup, and the sword qua knife (only the rod is absent). Above the Magician is the lemniscate, which is the number eight turned sideways; applied to Holly Golightly, it represents the ogdoad, the sphere of divine wisdom, Sophia, who can also play the role of a duplicitous woman, a mountebank.
