Dracula’s cane in The Last Voyage of the Demeter (2023, left) is modeled after Larry Talbot’s (Lon Chaney Jr., 1906-1973) wolf’s head cane in The Wolf Man (1941, right) because the latter film starred Bela Lugosi (1882-1956), Hollywood’s prototypical vampire, becoming an art of memory trick and a pop culture valence, producing an occult mnemonic. Plus, the Count can turn into a wolf.
A Baphometic-Crowley production, Barbie (2023) has a value of 44, the number of the sun god Horus, using reverse Pythagorean reduction.[1] The Wizard of Oz (1939) plays in Barbieland’s cinema, and the movie’s director, the incomparable Greta Gerwig, was born on August 4th, 1983, which has a sum of 42, the Dark Mother, the Kill Number, using Pythagorean reduction.[2] Her initials are GG, 77, the Goat of the Sabbath (G is the seventh letter of the alphabet), and the film was released on July (7th month) 21st, 2023 (2 + 0 + 2 + 3 = 7, 77) and likewise has a value of 42 using Pythagorean reduction.[3] Cinema Symbolism 4 and Cinema Symbolism OZ coming soon….
The Wizard of Oz plays in perpetuity in Barbieland’s movie theater.

Just in time for Thanksgiving, Rob makes his second appearance on the Afraid of Nothing podcast, talking everyone’s favorite subject: The Wizard of Oz Death Curse. Enjoy, beware, take care, and happy holidays! To listen to this brand-new show, click the banner:
The Goat of Mendes wrote, produced, and directed the 847th episode of Sesame Street, debuting February 10th, 1976, with Margaret Hamilton (1902-1985) reprising her role as the green-skinned Wicked Witch of the West, featuring a segment wherein the green-colored Oscar qua OZcar the Grouch falls in love with her. However, parents protested, believing the installment was designed to terrify children, not entertain or educate them; hence, it never re-aired and was considered lost until it was leaked online on June 18th, 2022. The episode was the 52nd show of Sesame Street’s seventh season, 5 + 2 = 7, 77, and 847 = 77 x 11 or 7 x 112. Additionally, there appears to be a Baphometic influence since the show’s beginning; according to the U.S. Department of Education, during Sesame Street’s first ten years (1969-1979), 77% of preschoolers watched it once a week. In 2008, it was estimated that 77 million Americans had watched the series as youngsters.
Rob’s recent appearance on Tin Foil Hat is now stationed on YouTube. In this brand new interview, Rob previews Cinema Symbolism 4, including an analysis of The Wizard of Oz Death Curse (OZ-Rainbow), Aleister Crowley, 9/11, the Age of Horus/Aquarius, Kobe Bryant, JFK, Michael Jackson, Freemasonry, the Goat of Mendes (77), the demon Choronzon (333), and the Dark Mother (42). Check it out!
I haven’t seen this one yet (rest assured, I will), but the trailer has some of the most overt Master Therion imagery I’ve seen in quite some time, complete with the Goat of Mendes (77) and the Unicursal Hexagram. Check it out!
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 ocean are the secret grounds of cosmos and city. Actress Audrey Hepburn (1929-1993) was paired with 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, is both sprite and diva, bashful bookseller and supermodel; in thirty-six seconds of film (Master Therion’s qabalistic number for Mercurius), she 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, which in alchemical cinema, transmogrifies her into Nike herself. From Cinema Symbolism 4.
Although the book is still well over a year and a half away (it will not be released until after I have seen Joker: Folie à Deux, coming October 2024), I will post its revised Preface here next week on August 1st. I have shifted some material from Chapter I and the Introduction to the Preface as it has become clear this information needs to be introduced immediately in the book. I have other reasons for posting it early, which I will keep to myself for now. Stay tuned…
It is Cinema Symbolism 4: Alchemical Tinseltown, Black Ops, Sorcery, Gematria, and the Art of Memory. Coming soon…..
Cinema Symbolism 4 is coming along nicely, but still not sure why this one is so hard to see.
