The Kenny Chesney song “The Tin Man,” which conjures The Wizard of Oz (1939) in its lyrics, was originally released on April 19th, 1994, on Capricorn Records, suggesting the Goat of Mendes, the leaping goat, the godhead, a year after the Branch Davidian Compound burned to the ground (4/19/93) and a year before the OKC Murrah Building terrorist attack (4/19/95), was re-released on his Greatest Hits album on September 26th, 2000. Forty-two weeks later, on July 23rd, 2001, “The Tin Man” was re-released as a single; its music video was scheduled to be filmed seven weeks later, on September 11th, 2001, in front of the World Trade Center but was canceled a few days beforehand because BNA Records (the new label) did not believe a video was necessary. “The Tin Man,” both the Ozian character and the tune’s name, has a sum of 49 = 72 using reverse Pythagorean reduction.[1]Cinema Symbolism 4, Cinema Symbolism OZ, and Cinema Symbolism Third Edition are coming along splendidly.
The number 42 is the Great Number of the Curse. – Aleister Crowley, Liber CCCXXXIII, 1912.
7. A most evil number, whose perfection is impossible to attack. – Aleister Crowley, Liber 777, 1909.
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, Liber 777, 1909.
333. ChVRVNZVN, see Liber 418, 10th Aethry. It is surprising that this large scale 3 should be so terrible a symbol of dispersion. There is doubtless a venerable arcanum here connoted, possibly the evil of Matter summó. 333 = 37 x 9 the accurséd. – Aleister Crowley, Liber 777, 1909.
Twenty-five (2 + 5 = 7) days after the sale of the Ruby Slippers on December 7th, 2024, at Heritage Auctions in Dallas, Texas, and 77 days after the supermoon of October 17th 2024, 42-year-old Shamsud-Din Bahar Jabbar, whose name has a sum of 77 using Pythagorean reduction[1] and is also from Texas, killed and wounded many when he drove his truck through the French Quarter in New Orleans, transforming it into the magickal Land of Oz. Syncing with the theatrical release of the Russian film The Wizard of Emerald City on January 1st, 2025 (the moon is a waxing crescent in Capricorn, the leaping goat, i.e., the godhead), the attack occurred at the intersection of Bourbon and Iberville Streets, a block from the Old Absinthe House (Bourbon and Bienville Streets), Aleister Crowley’s (1874-1947) favorite haunt in the Crescent City (the Mississippi River’s bend around the French Quarter resembles a crescent moon hence the moniker) when he wasn’t busy writing Moonchild (1917), summoning Diana’s brightness 77 days earlier. Of course, a few blocks from the scene of the carnage are two Ruby Slipper cafes, and the closest movie theater is the Prytania at Canal Place, located on the third floor of 333 Canal Street, suggesting the demon Choronzon’s involvement. Currently, the theater is playing both Wicked and Wicked Sing-A-Long films. Rob knows more but is keeping quiet for now as this curse is highly active! Cinema Symbolism 4 and Cinema Symbolism OZ coming soon.
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.
Rob and Vadim continue their fascinating discussion about The Wizard of Oz (1939) and its nexus to the Back to the Future trilogy, John F. Kennedy (1917-1963), and President Donald J. Trump. This is the Russian dub – enjoy!

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!
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.

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 most excellent podcast Codega’s Codex of Curiosities analyzing occult themes and undercurrents in film and, more importantly, everyone’s favorite topic, the Crowleyan Rainbow-OZ death curse. Rob also talks pop culture predicting 9/11, which is more a supernatural event than a manmade event horizon. Enjoy!
