The November 26, 2025, shooting of the National Guard members in Washington, D.C., occurred precisely 77 days after the assassination of Charlie Kirk on September 10, 2025. The killing occurred five days after the release of Wicked: For Good on November 21, 2025, generating a calendrical pentagram. The shooting also occurred 7 minutes from the AMC Georgetown 14 (7 doubled, i.e., 77), the closest venue where Wicked is currently playing to audiences. The theater’s address is 3111 K Street NW, which has a Pythagorean reduced value of 42.[1]
I am pleased to announce that I am done writing Cinema Symbolism 4: Death, Destruction, Terror, Murder, and Mayhem. Now I have to edit and format it (ugh); regardless, the book should be published in the spring of 2026 – stay tuned!
The number 42 is the Great Number of the Curse. – Aleister Crowley, Liber CCCXXXIII, 1912.
7. A most evil number, whose perfection is impossible to attack. – Aleister Crowley, Liber 777, 1909.
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. – Aleister Crowley, Liber 777, 1909.
333. ChVRVNZVN, see Liber 418, 10th Aethry. It is surprising that this large scale 3 should be so terrible a symbol of dispersion. There is doubtless a venerable arcanum here connoted, possibly the evil of Matter summó. 333 = 37 x 9 the accurséd. – Aleister Crowley, Liber 777, 1909.
Twenty-five (2 + 5 = 7) days after the sale of the Ruby Slippers on December 7th, 2024, at Heritage Auctions in Dallas, Texas, and 77 days after the supermoon of October 17th 2024, 42-year-old Shamsud-Din Bahar Jabbar, whose name has a sum of 77 using Pythagorean reduction[1] and is also from Texas, killed and wounded many when he drove his truck through the French Quarter in New Orleans, transforming it into the magickal Land of Oz. Syncing with the theatrical release of the Russian film The Wizard of Emerald City on January 1st, 2025 (the moon is a waxing crescent in Capricorn, the leaping goat, i.e., the godhead), the attack occurred at the intersection of Bourbon and Iberville Streets, a block from the Old Absinthe House (Bourbon and Bienville Streets), Aleister Crowley’s (1874-1947) favorite haunt in the Crescent City (the Mississippi River’s bend around the French Quarter resembles a crescent moon hence the moniker) when he wasn’t busy writing Moonchild (1917), summoning Diana’s brightness 77 days earlier. Of course, a few blocks from the scene of the carnage are two Ruby Slipper cafes, and the closest movie theater is the Prytania at Canal Place, located on the third floor of 333 Canal Street, suggesting the demon Choronzon’s involvement. Currently, the theater is playing both Wicked and Wicked Sing-A-Long films. Rob knows more but is keeping quiet for now as this curse is highly active! Cinema Symbolism 4 and Cinema Symbolism OZ coming soon.
“The Tarot figures, in various guises, are ever present in our lives. By night they appear in our sleep, to our mystification and wonder. By day they inspire us to creative action or play tricks with our logical plans.” – Sallie Nichols, Jung and Tarot: An Archetypal Journey, 1980. Two Tarot cards that came to life on 9/11. (Insert Top Left) The lightning-struck Tower, card XVI from the Rider-Waite deck, is the Twin Towers destroyed. Its background is black, linking it to the Devil card (see Introduction), which has the same dark setting. Alchemically, the Devil represents the nigredo phase, the psychological dark night of the soul, the blackening and decay stage of the Great Work, in which material reality needs to be purified to make way for something fresh, in this case, the new yet bleak Æon of Horus. The falling person to the left of the Tower is shaped like the Hebrew letter ayin ע, and the figure on the right forms zayin ז, producing 77, OZ, the Goat of Mendes, synonymous with the Devil card. The Tower betokens transformation, the shattering of illusions, and abrupt, discomforting, and unsettling change, indicating the shift from Pisces to Aquarius. (Insert Bottom right) The Hanged Man, signifying the mystery of death (of the old age) and the riddle of resurrection (of the new), also denotes the Tower’s transmogrification, death, and rebirth. The twelfth trump becomes The Falling Man, plummeting to his death, having jumped from the WTC’s North Tower. Like the Tower card, alchemy has been a critical influence on the interpretation (one of many) of the Hanged Man. Lévi described him as “the great and unique athanor, which all can use, which is ready to each man’s hand, which all possess without knowing it.” The athanor is an alchemist’s furnace; the first stage of making the Philosopher’s Stone culminated in the nigredo phase when the material in the alchemist’s vessel was destroyed by heating it and driving off vapor, which was regarded as its spirit or spark of life. Then, the haze was allowed to condense and saturate the dead material, resurrecting it in a new and improved form; on 9/11, death and destruction signaled the end of Pisces, Christ the fisherman, the sun reborn in Aquarius as Baphomet, the Saturnian Bleating Goat.
