On this, the 85th anniversary of The Wizard of Oz‘s theatrical debut, August 25th, 1939, here is a freebie from Cinema Symbolism 4 (and Cinema Symbolism OZ) linking the film to Choronzon, a demon critical in John Dee’s (1527-1608) Enochian system and Aleister Crowley’s (1875-1947) gematria. The designer of the Ruby Slippers was MGM’s most famous costumer, Adrian, who was born on March 3rd, ’03, which is 333, Master Therion’s number for the Dweller in the Abyss.

Dorothy Gale sports the Ruby Slippers, walking on the Yellow Brick Road (left), which were designed by MGM’s Adrian, his birthday the number of Choronzon, the vile Dweller in the Abyss, a demon crucial in John Dee’s (top right) and Aleister Crowley’s occult systems of magick.
