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]

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.
Gunpowder, treason and plot. I see no reason why gunpowder treason should ever be forgot. This Bonfire Night, make The Royal Arch of Enoch (2nd Ed., 2016) your autumn reading material, and learn more about the Jesuits, Guy Fawkes (1570-1606) the Counter-Reformation, and the kabalistic origins of the High Degrees of Freemasonry.

To honor Samhain 2024, here is a spooky teaser from Cinema Symbolism 4 (coming along nicely).
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.
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.
