From Cinema Symbolism Third Edition:
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]

In 777 (1909), Master Therion identifies 28 as his number of triumph and strength. Crowley writes “28 [7 + 7 + 7 + 7]. Attainable; and, so useful. ‘My victory,’ and ‘My power,’ says the Philosophus.” On Saturday, December 7, 2024, Heritage Auctions sold a screen-worn pair of the Ruby Slippers for $28 million (the final bid) in Dallas, Texas, the location of JFK’s assassination, and where Jack Ruby dispatched Lee Harvey OZwald, 61 years (6 + 1 = 7) earlier, continuing to remind us the curse is active.
In Back to the Future III, set in 1885, the first glimpse of the courthouse’s kabalistic clock face–its clock tower–is when it is being delivered (top), displaying a time of 10:04, anticipating the November 12th, 1955, 10:04 p.m. lightning strike that will cease it from operating. When Marty and Doc pose for a picture before the clock face (bottom), the time is 8:08 or 88, the mileage necessary for the DeLorean to break the spacetime continuum. The time 10:04 is also an allusion to the date October 4th, when there are 88 days remaining to the end of the year on the solar calendar.
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.
