Gunpowder, treason and plot. I see no reason why gunpowder treason should ever be forgot. This Bonfire Night, make The Royal Arch of Enoch (2nd Ed., 2016) your autumn reading material, and learn more about the Jesuits, Guy Fawkes (1570-1606) the Counter-Reformation, and the kabalistic origins of the High Degrees of Freemasonry.

To honor Samhain 2024, here is a spooky teaser from Cinema Symbolism 4 (coming along nicely).
In The House of the Devil (released on October 30th, 2009, this author’s 38th birthday), unsavory pizza turns up twice, foreshadowing and denoting the repugnant Ullmans (Tom Noonan and Mary Woronov), who hire an awkward college student, Samantha (Jocelin Donahue) to babysit a remote mansion during a lunar eclipse, wherein they plan to supernaturally impregnate her via a satanic rite. Their surname recalls The Shining’s Stuart Ullman (Barry Nelson, 1917-2007), who likewise employed an eccentric Jack Torrance (Jack Nicholson) to babysit a remote hotel where fiendish ghosts roam its gloomy corridors. In the former film, Greta Gerwig plays Megan, who, while eating greasy pizza at a diner, arms and hands imitate Levi’s Goat of Mendes’ as above, so below occult kinesics since her initials are G.G. = 77, the gesture also seen on July 4th, 1921 photo during the closing moments of Kubrick’s fright flick. Greta was born on August 4th, 1983, a date with a Pythagorean reduced value of 42,[1] the Dark Mother obviously influenced her Ozian tour de force Barbie years later, released on July 21st, 2023 = 7, 777, 7. Easter egg: when Samantha orders a pizza, she is asked if she wants “extra anchovies,” a clever nod to the comedy Loverboy (1989), meaning the deliveryman would be providing a hell of a lot more than pizzas; in The House with the Devil, the guy bringing the pizza is a demonic assassin, keeping a Sauron-like eye on the babysitter.
[1] A/1 + u/3 + g/7 + u/3 + s/1 + t/2 = 17, 4 = 4, 1 + 9 + 8 + 3 = 21; 17 + 4 + 21 = 42.
Since it is the haunting season, one of Rob’s Masonic-Halloween Specials has dropped early! Rob joins Nyx, hostess of the popular podcast Stygian Charters, analyzing Longlegs (2024) and Late Night with the Devil (2024). To listen to this soon-to-be classic 14th episode, click the banner:
7. A most evil number, whose perfection is impossible to attack. – Aleister Crowley, Liber 777, 1909.
Ruth Harker (Alicia Witt) was the diabolical 7th She in Longlegs (2024), a nod to Master Therion’s qabala. Witt was cast in the role because of her appearance in David Lynch’s Twin Peaks (1990-1991, 2017), a series all about doubles and duality. Easter egg: the lyrics to “Crimson and Clover” (1968) by Tommy James and the Shondells describe Longlegs and Ruth’s meeting and relationship to a tee.
Rob pre-recorded one of his annual Masonic-Halloween Specials last weekend with The Farm, discussing the the Aeon of Horus masterpieces Immaculate (2024) and The First Omen (2024). Rob will be on with Nyx of Stygian Charters this weekend analyzing Late Night with the Devil (2024) and Longlegs (2024), both Crowleyan-Ozian productions. These two kabalistic episodes will be released around Samhain, so check back for updates!
Here’s a shocker: the name Ryan Wesley Routh has a sum of 77 using reverse Pythagorean reduction.[1] One cannot help but notice the Baphometic pentagram behind him, and it’s only a matter of time before The Wizard of Oz, The Dark Mother (42), Choronzon (333), and 93 turn up. More forthcoming…
[1] R/9 + y/2 + a/8 + n/4 = 23, W/4 + e/4 + s/8 + l/6 + e/4 + y/2 = 28, R/9 + o/3 + u/6 + t/7 + h/1 = 26; 23 + 28 + 26 = 77.
Rob returns to the airwaves in October with appearances on Stygian Charters and The Farm for two brand-new Masonic-Halloween Specials! Stay tuned for details.
Join Rob when he will be live at 7:00 p.m. EST this Friday night, September 6th, 2024, on WTFRICK LIVE analyzing the Rainbow-OZ death hex among other esoteric topics. To watch this show, click on the YouTube link.
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.
Rob makes his first appearance on the brand new podcast Stygian Charters! Hosted by the incomparable Nyx, listen to Rob discuss occult symbolism in film, but more critically, begin to breakdown the Rainbow-OZ death hex, also known as The Wizard of Oz killing curse, the subject matter of his forthcoming books. Rob will be returning to Stygian Charters in October for his annual Halloween Special; in the meantime, enjoy this awesome podcast! To listen, click the banner:
