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.

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.
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.
Royal watcher and expert Hilary Fordwich confirms the worst.
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).
I have been getting emails from my readers and listeners who have taken it upon themselves to research the Rainbow-OZ death curse (what I call it), giving me tips, which I am thankful for. But, of late, they have been telling me the material is too dark and evil and are backing away from it. This comes as no surprise to me, as in the thirty-plus years of investigating the occult, this is by far the most sinister and macabre thing I have ever encountered, but I am used to it (and thus somewhat prepared and insulated). I can report that this hex is real, dangerous, deadly, sardonic, and extremely vicious. If you take it upon yourself to look into it, you do so at your own risk. – Robert W.
