The Kenny Chesney song “The Tin Man,” which conjures The Wizard of Oz (1939) in its lyrics, was originally released on April 19th, 1994, on Capricorn Records, suggesting the Goat of Mendes, the leaping goat, the godhead, a year after the Branch Davidian Compound burned to the ground (4/19/93) and a year before the OKC Murrah Building terrorist attack (4/19/95), was re-released on his Greatest Hits album on September 26th, 2000. Forty-two weeks later, on July 23rd, 2001, “The Tin Man” was re-released as a single; its music video was scheduled to be filmed seven weeks later, on September 11th, 2001, in front of the World Trade Center but was canceled a few days beforehand because BNA Records (the new label) did not believe a video was necessary. “The Tin Man,” both the Ozian character and the tune’s name, has a sum of 49 = 72 using reverse Pythagorean reduction.[1]Cinema Symbolism 4, Cinema Symbolism OZ, and Cinema Symbolism Third Edition are coming along splendidly.
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.
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.
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.

Since it is the haunting season, one of Rob’s Masonic-Halloween Specials has dropped early! Rob joins Nyx, hostess of the popular podcast Stygian Charters, analyzing Longlegs (2024) and Late Night with the Devil (2024). To listen to this soon-to-be classic 14th episode, click the banner:
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.
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…
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.
