We approach the mystery of Black Magic. We are about to confront, even in his own sanctuary, the black god of the Sabbath, the formidable goat of Mendes. At this point those who are subject to fear should close the book; even persons who are a prey to nervous impressions will do well to divert themselves or to abstain. – Éliphas Lévi (1810-1875), Transcendental Magic: Its Doctrine and Ritual, I:xv, 1854.
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, 777 and Other Qabalistic Writings of Aleister Crowley, 1909.
Catherine, Princess of Wales, who turned 42 in January under the sign of the Capricornus, the leaping goat, has fallen victim to the Rainbow-OZ death hex. Lions, tigers, and bears, oh my.
Her full name, Catherine Elizabeth Middleton, has reverse ordinal value of 462 = 77 x 6, and a sum of 147 = 3 x 72 (7 x 7, 77) using reverse Pythagorean reduction.[1] On August 25th, 2016, the 77th anniversary of The Wizard of Oz’s theatrical release, Kate wore a bright red dress bringing forth the Ruby Slippers.
Kate conjures the Land of Oz by wearing silver high heels, the color of Dorothy Gale’s magical shoes in L. Frank Baum’s (1856-1919) novel (1900), denoting the late 19th-cenurty’s Free Silver Movement, and seen in the trailer for the forthcoming Wicked. FYI: King Charles III’s birthday, November 14th, 1948, has a sum of 77 using reverse Pythagorean reduction (the reader can do the math).
