7. A most evil number, whose perfection is impossible to attack. – Aleister Crowley, Liber 777, 1909.
Shades of Suspira (1977, 2018), Black Swan (2010), Dirty Dancing (1987), The Shining (1980), and, of course, The Wizard of Oz (1939) manifest in the trailer; for example, Terry Gionoffrio’s (Julia Garner) light blue socks and red shoes (seen when the demon emerges) give her away, making her Dorothy Gale’s counterpart – a stranger in a strange land. Can’t wait to see this one. Easter egg: The Pale Crook is a knockoff of The Black Crook (1866), the first produced Broadway play that features a dark sorcerer as one of the antagonists. Naturally, Apartment 7A is scheduled to be released on September 27th, 2024, generating a Baphometic nexus, linking Crook to Thomas Matthew Crooks (2003-2024), who attempted to assassinate President Trump 77 days earlier on July 13th. Another Easter egg: Dracula (1931) is playing in the next theater over, written by Bram Stoker (1847-1912), who the Bramford is named after.
The number 42 is the Great Number of the Curse. – Aleister Crowley, Liber CCCXXXIII, 1912.
A little bit from the forthcoming Cinema Symbolism 4 regarding the last solar eclipse seven years ago. Note: For this post, I have removed some the book’s gallows humor.
A solar eclipse occurs when the moon blots out the sun; many ancient civilizations feared the occurrence, thinking it was a supernatural apparition and omen, believing demons and hostile entities were attacking the sun, making the supernal event a herald of doom. Some things never change. On August 17th, 2017, synching with The Wizard of Oz’s New York City premiere held at Loew’s Capitol Theatre on August 17th, 1939, followed by a live performance by Judy Garland and her frequent co-star Mickey Rooney (1920-2014), there was a solar eclipse that spanned the contiguous United States from the Pacific to the Atlantic coasts, lasting two minutes and 42 seconds (the dyad meshed with the Dark Mother is never a good thing), and was part of the Saros Cycle Series 145 for solar eclipses occurring at the moon’s ascending node, repeating every 18 years (1 + 8 = 9), 11 days (unsurprising September 11th overlap), consisting of 77 events, IDing the Goat of Mendes’ presence. The eclipse cast an Ozian shadow over three shitstorms: the first killing was on September 24th = 42 backward, 39 days later, invoking the Curse of 39, at the Burnette Chapel Church of Christ in Antioch, Tennessee (CCC = 333), when Emanuel Kidega Samson, a black nationalist took revenge for Dylann Roof’s bloodbath at the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in ’15 (vide supra–note the synchronization of the name Emanuel, God is with us, text removed by author). Samson drove a Nissan Xterra, model #WD22, which has an ordinal and reverse ordinal value of 49 (72), to the house of God where 42 people had gathered to worship, murdering one churchgoer and wounding seven others.[1] The shooter’s surname instantly brings to mind the Biblical story of Samson (i.e., the sun) and Delilah (viz. the constellation Libra feminized) recalling the Grateful Dead’s famous tune “♫ Samson and Delilah ♫,” on their 1977 album Terrapin Station. Seven days later, on October 1st, 2017, the Goat of Mendes attended the Route 91 Harvest country music festival in Paradise (a neighborhood adjacent to Las Vegas) when sniper Steven Craig Paddock (1953-2017) opened fire from the 43-story Mandalay Bay luxury hotel (4 + 3 = 7), covering 49 hectares (72), with a Baphometic phone number of 877-632-7700, killing and wounding nearly a 1000 concert-goers with a 42-weapon arsenal,[2] while the Dark Mother also lurks in Paradise’s global coordinates: 36° 5’ 42” N, 115° 10’ 18” W. Steven Craig Paddock has a sum of 78 employing Pythagorean reduction, to wit the number of Tarot cards in a deck, Rachel Joy Scott, Timothy McVeigh, etc., vide supra.[3] Mirroring Nichols and McVeigh, he was motivated by the Rudy Ridge standoff, viz. the Ruby Slippers; next, 42 days after Burnette Chapel slaughter, and 80 days after the eclipse, i.e., the Tarot’s lightning-struck tower, on November 5th, Devin Patrick Kelley, like Klebold, Harris, Roof, and Samson before him, pumped lead into the First Baptist Church in Sutherland Springs, Texas, murdering 27 (including himself and an unborn child) and wounding 22 = 27 + 22 = 49 (72), firing 700 rounds in 11 minutes = 700 x 11 = 7700, or 77 minus the zeros. The church sits at the intersection of 4th Street and Farm Road 539 = 7 x 77, 777, the Qliphoth unconquered, welcoming the Age of Horus with open arms. END TEXT
Something wicked our way comes…
The April 8th, 2024 eclipse marks the 120th anniversary of the first transmission of Liber AL vel Legis to Crowley by Aiwass (April 8th, 1904) and the anniversary of the infamous “Is God Dead?” Time magazine cover (April 8th, 1966), seen in the movie Rosemary’s Baby (1968). Its red lettering against a black background would inspire The Exorcist’s opening and closing credits seven years later. Since eclipses are usually portents, keep an eye on June 24th, ’24, Midsummer, the Feast of the Baptizer qua Hermes, which is 77 days later, and is 666 = June = 6th month, 2 + 4 = 6, 2 + 4 = 6, Master Therion’s moniker, the Æon of Horus’ solar prophet, coinciding with June 24th, 1969, when the first articles and obituaries announcing Judy Garland’s death began appearing in newspapers worldwide, forever linking the date with The Wizard of Oz (1939).
Time magazine’s “Is God Dead?” cover, with its red letters against a black background, became The Exorcist‘s opening and closing credits seven years later.Bonus Exorcist material from CS4: (Left) The “Exorcist steps” in the D.C. neighborhood of Georgetown were honored with a plaque at the staircase’s base (right) 42 years after the film’s release, unveiled on Halloween’s Eve, known as Devil’s Night, October 30th, 2015, syncing with the movie’s demonism, the date having a value of 77 using reverse Pythagorean reduction. (O/3 + c/6 + t/7 + o/3 + b/7 + e/4 + r/9 = 39, 30 = 30, 2 + 0 + 1 + 5 = 8; 39 + 30 + 8 = 77).Bonus Rosemary’s Baby material from CS4: The back of John Lennon’s Imagine album (left), released on September 9th, 1971 (U.S.), the date having a sum of 77 using reverse Pythagorean reduction (S/8 +e/4 + p/2 + t/7 + e/4 + m/5 + b/7 + e/4 + r/9 = 50, 9 = 9, 1 + 9 + 7 + 1 = 18; 50 + 9 + 18 = 77), imitates the Rosemary’s Baby one-sheet poster (right) which is set in the Dakota (Polanski filmed in apartment #77), the location of Lennon’s assassination, a Thelemic 93 months later on December 8th, 1980.
My latest book is coming along exceptionally well, so here is a little teaser to whet everyone’s appetite; enjoy, as this will be the last one for a while. Also, stay tuned also for more interviews on a variety of topics, including Rob’s annual Masonic Halloween Special and a National Treasure deep dive.
“The ordeals thou shalt oversee thyself, save only the blind ones. Refuse none, but thou shalt know & destroy the traitors. I am Ra-Hoor-Khuit; and I am powerful to protect my servant. Success is thy proof: argue not; convert not; talk not over much! Them that seek to entrap thee, to overthrow thee, them attack without pity or quarter; & destroy them utterly. Swift as a trodden serpent turn and strike! Be thou yet deadlier than he! Drag down their souls to awful torment: laugh at their fear: spit upon them!” (AL III:42). So why did this skinwalker/Native American death hex latch onto Aleister Crowley’s Qabala, the new era’s prophet? Two of Crowley’s preeminent numbers for this neo-astrological epoch are, quite literally, The Wizard of Oz, designating the Æon of Horus/Aquarius. The first is 77, OZ, the new solar messiah, the Goat of Mendes, and the second is 42, the deathblow, symbolized by the rainbow, as in “♫ Over the Rainbow ♫,” baptized the Dark Mother by Master Therion, the destructive elemental linked to the devil Chronzon, whose number is 333 (vide supra). According to Aiwass, the new Æon began in 1904; adding a cusp phase, it is apparent that the Piscean Age terminated on September 11th, 2001, commencing the Horus/Aquarian Age proper because sevens are omnipresent, signifying Baphometic diablerie. For instance, the date has a reverse ordinal value of 154 = 77 x 2,[1] and the month’s name comes from the Latin septem, meaning seven, as it was originally the seventh of ten months on the ancient Roman calendar; thus, septem multiplied by the day of the week is 7 x 11 = 77, making it the day of the Goat. The Dark Mother, the multicolored arch, 42, was also very busy on 9/11; for example, at Newark International Airport (now Newark Liberty), Flight 93 was delayed 42 minutes on the runway before takeoff. But this was not the first time OZ and the rainbow reared their ugly heads on 9/11. Forty-four years earlier, the number of Horus and a digit Crowley links to blood sacrifice, on September 11th, 1957, ABC aired preview segments of the Rainbow Road to Oz on Disneyland’s fourth-anniversary show, but the project was shelved a few months later. Forty-four is also connected to the World Trade Center because it opened on the fourth day of April, the fourth month, 44, of 1973, which reduces to the number two (1 + 9 + 7 + 3 = 20 = 2 + 0 = 2), indicating twins or doubles, implying the WTC complex was constructed to be nothing more than a vessel to house burnt offerings to Horus qua the Goat of Mendes. On that same date, the demons from the Qliphoth were summoned via an Apollonian megastar: on the evening of April 4th, 1973, NBC aired Elvis’ Aloha from Hawaii via Satellite concert, the highest-rated program of the year, which was recorded at the Honolulu International Center (now the Neal S. Blaisdell Center), located at 777 Ward Avenue. April 4th, 1973, also anticipated the total lunar eclipse of April 4th, 1996; the blood moon, becoming a mark of the Ruby Slippers, signifies calamity, the destruction of all things, and the end of the world qua solar age.[2] This blood moon, in turn, foreshadowed the partial lunar eclipse of July 28th, 1999, with Diana/Artemis/Hecate reigning supreme in Aquarius, i.e., heralding the new age, 777 days before September 11th, 2001, when Christianity (the worship of the sun in Pisces), Islam (the worship of Venus), and Judaism (the sun in Aries mingled with the adoration of Saturn) became obsolete, but the Luciferian godhead lives! “The year is one!” – Roman Castevet/Steven Marcato, Rosemary’s Baby. And speaking of Luna, on September 11th, 2001, the moon was a waning crescent in the house of Gemini the Twins, fading away, signifying the two towers vanishing from NYC’s skyline. Easter egg: Baphomet and the Dark Mother made a cameo appearance with Bonesman and President George W. Bush on the morning of 9/11, as he was reading the short story “The Pet Goat” by American educationalist Siegfried “Zig” Engelmann (1931-2019) anthologized in the classroom workbook Reading Mastery: Rainbow Edition, Level 2, Storybook 1 (1994) to Floridian schoolchildren.
Gemini the Twins’ two brightest stars, Castor and Pollux, represent the mythological twin brothers of Helen of Troy, corresponding with Jachin and Boaz of Solomon’s Temple, and the Pillars of Hercules: the two promontories at the eastern entrance to the Strait of Gibraltar, a narrow opening 14 kilometers wide (7 doubled or 77) between the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean, separating the continents of Africa and Europe. Its glyph symbolizes two pieces of wood bound together, and its ruling planet is Mercury, alchemy’s destroying agent.
For reasons unknown, the death curse remained dormant until The Wizard of Oz began filming in 1938, evidenced by all the accidents that occurred on set, suggesting it was hexed, as this is when 77, the Goat, its play backed by 42 and sometimes 333, la Madre Oscura and Choronzon, appeared on the scene, identifying itself as the God of the new age, desiring death, annihilation, and bloodshed, ascending to the divine solar throne on 9/11. To begin with, the film’s starlet, Judy Garland, started consuming amphetamines and barbiturates, which allowed her to stay thin and energized, but it turned her into a dope fiend, putting her in an early grave at 47. Buddy Ebsen, the original Tin Man, nearly died when aluminum powder got into his lungs, sending him to the hospital for two weeks and forcing him to drop out. The Wicked Witch of the West, Margaret Hamilton, was severely burned, and her stunt double, Bertha “Betty” Danko (1903-1979), suffered two accidents. The first was minor, hurting her back, but it was the second, during the SURRENDER DOROTHY skywriting scene, that a pipe attached to Witch’s broomstick exploded, landing her in a hospital bed with a dreadful leg injury. Then there is the old urban legend that a midget portraying one of the Munchkins committed suicide on the set, visible in the background when Dorothy, Scarecrow, and the Tin Man cavort down the Yellow Brick Road, leaving the latter’s hovel behind. Is it a dead dwarf or a stork? Regardless, The Wizard of Oz was released to the public on August 25th, 1939, seven days before the outbreak of WWII.
