The Brown University mass shooting occurred on December 13, 2025, a date with an ordinal value of 77,[1] and happened a Crowleyan 777 days after the October 28, 2023, partial lunar eclipse of the Hunter’s Moon, which lasted 77 minutes. It occurred nearly 13 years to the day of the Sandy Hook massacre on December 14, 2012, which aligns precisely with the Bondi Beach shooting in Australia, signifying the Tarot’s thirteenth card: Death. Stay tuned….
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]
333. ChVRVNZVN [Choronzon], 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 (1875-1947), Liber 777, 1909.
Choronzon, an odious demon emerging from Dr. John Dee (1527-1608) and Edward Kelley’s (1555-1597) sixteenth-century Enochian Magic, is the Dweller in the Abyss, the destroyer of ego, and the black fire of hatred, invoked by Master Therion and Victor Neuberg (1883-1940) in the Algerian desert, the demon shouting aloud, “Zazas, Zazas, Nasatanada Zasas” (see Hereditary, 2018).
The dreaded Choronzon haunted the Utah Valley University campus in Orem, Utah, on September 10, 2025, and unmistakably had a hand in the assassination of Charlie Kirk. The word FREEDOM printed on Kirk’s t-shirt has a Pythagorean reduced value of 33, and the baseball caps numbered 47 are 4 + 7 = 11, and there are three of them visible, i.e., 11 x 3 = 33. Naturally, the demon connects with The Wizard of Oz (1939) because The Wonderful Wizard of Oz Experience in Brookline, Massachusetts, is located at 333 Washington Street, and the Wizard of Oz Museum in Cocoa Beach, Florida, is relocating to a new location at 333 W. Cocoa Beach Causeway. And, of course, the name Kirk immediately conjures Captain Kirk (William Shatner) and Star Trek (original TV series 1966-1969), its offspring Star Trek: The Next Generation (1987-1994), and its Ozian episode titled “Tin Man” (Season 3, Episode 20, April 1990), wherein 47 Starfleet personnel died in the Ghorusda Disaster due to Tam Elbrun’s (Harry Groener) failure to act forcefully during first contact. Lastly, assassin Tyler Robinson was arrested after a 33-hour manhunt, and the drive time from Orem to his home in St. George, Utah, via I-15 South is three hours and 33 minutes, implying Choronzon followed him home from the university’s campus after the murder. F/3 + r/9 + e/4 + e/4 + d/5 + o/3 + m/5 = 33.
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!
I was finally able to acquire this from a fellow collector in California (along with another item). Behold the 1939 hardback first edition of The Wizard of Oz tied to the film’s release on August 25, 1939. The dust jacket is in near-mint condition, and the book, binding, and pages are also in mint condition; it is a choice example, the best I have ever seen. Not pictured is that the edition is inscribed and signed by Margaret Hamilton (1902-1985) on a blank page, the actress who portrayed the Wicked Witch of the West. One will notice that the price of the book in 1939 was $1.19 (as indicated on the interior of the dust jacket), which is 9/11 backward, as demons often communicate in reverse, anticipating and announcing the Crowleyan OZ-Rainbow death curse.
Brand new podcast! On Sunday August 10, 2025, Rob returned to Forbidden Knowledge News to preview his next book, Cinema Symbolism 4, and talk a little occult movie symbolism. Check it out!
As Cinema Symbolism 4 nears completion, I will share a teaser from Chapter V called “Alchemical Hollywood.” I believe I may have posted some of this before, but here it is regardless. I should be done writing it the first week of September 2025, but then have to start the editing and formatting process. In the meantime, enjoy!
Hermes is the spirit of alchemy because he is a deity of complete being, revealing what many forget in their inhabitation of a half-world: chaos and the ocean are the secret grounds of the cosmos and the city. Actress Audrey Hepburn was paired with a paragon of the citrinitas, Fred Astaire (1899-1987), who was always searching for the goddess Terpsichore, in the musical romantic comedy Funny Face (1957). Hepburn, who plays Jo Stockton, an albedo exemplar, is both sprite and diva, embodying the nigredo and rubedo, i.e., she is a bashful melancholic bookseller and vivacious supermodel; in 36 seconds of film (Master Therion’s qabalistic number for Mercurius), she successfully performs alchemy, forever turning from mere mortal into everyone’s ideal goddess when she descends the marble staircase in the Louvre, swathed in a red Givenchy gown, signifying the spagyric art’s rubedo, with her crimson scarf flying around the pagan statue The Winged Victory of Samothrace, transmogrifying her into Nike if only temporarily.
The spagyric art pervades pop culture, but before delving into cinema, let us revisit CS2 and explore the most excellent alchemical-Masonic music video ever made: Gloria Estefan’s “♫ Live for Loving You ♫,” which was the fourth and last single from her third solo album, the Luciferian titled Into the Light (1991). The video opens with an Enochic sun rising over a black and white checkered floor, evoking Solomon’s Temple and the Threshing Floor of Ornan the Jebusite, recalling not only the First Temple, but also the construction of the Second Temple, i.e., the Temple of Zerubbabel, the purview of Masonry’s high degrees. The video’s director then appears before the rising sun, incarnating as a cigarette-smoking flamingo between two palm trees, representing the Pillars of Enoch, thereby transmogrifying into a living Royal Arch Word, the Tetragrammaton, which implies that the music video is a Masonic production. Owls and serpents, i.e., wisdom totems, appear throughout the music video, signifying esoteric Masonic knowledge that is veiled in both the Blue Lodge and high-degree rituals. In a rainforest, Gloria starts as an unassuming earth goddess but, as the video progresses, she exhibits all the colors of alchemical transition, specifically black, white, and red dresses; at one point, she drives a red car with a black and white dog sporting a red scarf tied around its neck. Gloria Estefan dons a white bathrobe alluding to the albedo, a sexy black ensemble representing the nigredo, and a sleek yellow bodysuit, embracing the citrinitas and betokening her animus, while relaxing in a rickshaw pulled by an Apollonian male, the sun. Gloria must conclude the alchemical process she began by becoming the rubedo, shrouded in the nigredo, as they often taint each other. Thus, Gloria wears a sleek and sultry red dress and high heels, indicating completion of the magnum opus, while sitting on a nocturnal crescent moon, the supreme symbol of the sacred feminine, i.e., the albedo. The great work finished, Gloria has transitioned from a telluric numen to a majestic lunar goddess like Isis, Diana, Hecate, and Artemis, transcending the Earth and its inhabitants by becoming Mozart’s apotheosized Queen of the Night, ruling in the starry canopy above.[1]

(Left) Gloria Estefan achieves the rubedo, enveloped in the nigredo, at the conclusion of the music video for her song, “♫ Live for Loving You ♫.” (Right) The cover of Gloria Estefan’s Greatest Hits depicts the Cuban-American singer in a white blouse, representing the albedo, i.e., her femininity, and wearing red high heels, fishnets, and a fairy tutu dress, the rubedo, because the album is the culmination of her career, at least up to the early 1990s. Easter egg: the album was released on October 30, 1992, this author’s twenty-first birthday.
