THE LAND OF OZ

In the children's book The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by Frank L. Baum, the reader is introduced to a wonderful new world, as seen through the eyes of a little girl named Dorothy, and her dog Toto. Together with her friends the Tin Man, the Cowardly Lion and Scarecrow, Dorothy sets off to see the Wizard of Oz, in the hopes that he can restore her, and Toto too, to her place of origin, Kansas. When Dorothy arrives in the Land of Oz she encounters a land in strife, where political borders are clearly defined and despotic witches oppress the people through fear and magical persuasion.

Judging by the map (compiled by the eminent Prof. Wogglebug T.E.) it appears that the Land of Oz is a squarish land, divided into 5 distinct kingdoms or countries. There is Gillikin Country in the North, Quadling Country in the South, Winkie Country in the East, Munchkin Country in the West, and finally there is the Emerald City, which takes a central position in the heart of Oz itself. Despite a lengthy search on the highly erudite and reputable Wikipedia website, I was unable to ascertain the intended meaning as to the choice of colours used to demarcate each region in Prof. Wogglebug's map.* Therefore, and in lieu of a credible/forth-coming explanation, I have decided to embark upon my own investigation into this matter, and more besides.

You are, as ever, invited to join me.

In The Secret History of the World (by Johnathan Black) it is speculated that the identity of Dorothy's companions; the Tin Man, Scarecrow and Lion, serves to represent the mineral, vegetable and animal kingdoms respectively. It was suggested this was done in order to reference the belief systems of the Theosophical Society, of which Baum was himself a member. In light of this information, I think it likely that the composition of Oz was informed by the Hermetic and Esoteric Traditions outlined in Madame Blavatski's Theosophical Society and not, as some have it, in the Christian methodologies, as outlined in the Bible.

An important aspect of the Hermetic (therefore; magical) tradition is the correlations made between the four elements; fire, water, earth and air, and the cardinal points of the compass; north, south, east and west. Although the attribution of each element to their respective direction necessarily varies from one tradition to another, and even one individual to another, the conservative approach still applies in general;

Each of the four elements also has its representative colors, as used by the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, whose tradition was itself derived from the Enochian Tradition of Sir John Dee. Subjugating the cardinal points, gives us;

It is clear from this that Baum's intention was to convey esoteric knowledge, and he did so in a very surprising and clever way.

The four cardinal points, along with their respective colours and elements provide the basis of nearly every ritual known to Hermeticism. In the Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram (LBRP); for example, the new initiate is asked to make the sign of the pentagram in the air before him/her, in a very specific manner. He/she is to do this for each of the cardinal directions (also known as Watchtowers), whilst intoning the appropriate elemental name. By doing so the magician (or wizard) is thought to be exercising a level of control over the elements, which may be useful to his/her practice later on. In terms of the Land of Oz, the emblem of the pentagram can clearly be seen depicted on the flag of Oz, in green. The reason for this is that the wizard or magician who is enacting the ritual is always thought to be situated at the centre of their own NSEW convergence, and thusly at the centre of the World. The colour green is also representative of the Heart Chakra. This is true of the Emerald City, which sits at the centre, or Heartland of Oz.

The Emerald Isle

Historically Ireland has had a total of 5 provinces; Ulster, Munster, Leinster, Connaught and Meath. Following the Norman invasion, Meath was dissolved into the neighboring counties of Leinster and parts of Ulster.

In its heyday, Meath would have been an important focal point for all the local chieftains and kings, featuring prominently in politics, rituals and folklore.

So successful were the Normans in eradicating this nuance of Irish history that few people today are  aware of the Fifth Kingdom ever having existed. The only readily available clue to the former existence of this lies in the Old Irish name for a 'county' Cuige. The word cuige literally means a fifth i.e. a fifth of the country.

In the Oz Saga, the four cardinal points (or kingdoms) are each ruled by a witch of either good or ill  repute. The Good Witch of the North (GWN) and the Good Witch of the South (GWS) each make up the North-South Axis. While, the Wicked Witch of the West (WWW) and the Wicked Witch of the East (WWE) make up the East-West axis. Based on this distinction it can be seen that the East-West axis is the Axis of Evil, while the North South axis is the Axis of Good.

Remember that the WWW comes from Winkie country, which is the yellow country on the Eastern side of Prof. Wogglebug's map of Oz. This, you'll note, is confusing. Could it be that the eminent Prof. Wogglebug has made a mistake? Don't get your hopes up. The confusion arises from the fact that, in the Land of Oz, the Sun rises in the West and sets in the East; something to do with the planets retrograde orbit around its sun. So from our perspective, the Wicked Witch of the West is the correct moniker, because to us the sun sets in the West. Get it? I am not sure if I do either.

Regardless, we can see that Winkie country is shaded yellow. This means that the WWW is an Air elemental. Recall that in the Wizard of Oz film the WWW is destroyed when Dorothy accidentally throws a bucket of water over her. This seems to suggest that only elements of opposite aspect have the ability to defeat witches of a specific elemental type. Compare this with the ruler of Munchkin land (blue) the watery Witch of the East. Although we do not see her directly, we infer that she was killed in connection with a hurricane when Dorothy's house falls on her, revealing the ruby slippers. So, in a sense, we can say that the WWE (a water elemental) was killed by her elementary opposite - air.

In the Land of Oz it appears that;

Water - destroys - Air
Air - destroys - Water
Earth - destroys - Fire
Fire - destroys - Earth
(The last two are sketchy because the GWN and the GWS are not known to fight each other.)

Hurricanes are an atmospheric phenomenon so obviously the storm that carried Dorothy to Oz was created by the WWW, possibly with the intention of doing away with her sister, the WWE.

Continuing with this line of reasoning, it appears that the four friends; Dorothy, Scarecrow, Tin-man and Lion, can each occupy a cardinal position of their own;

Dorothy with her dark brown hair and farming background is clearly an Earthy kind of girl. Likewise the colour of the Lion's fur and its loud roar make it ideal as an Air elemental. The reasons for Scarecrow and Tin-man seem to differ, however. Recall that the Tin-man rusts in the presence of water, and that the only thing that can kill Scarecrow (as per the story) is fire.

Returning to the concept of the East-West plane being an Axis of Evil and the North-South plane being an Axis of Good for a moment, we can see that the horizontal plane/axis symbolizes death (lying down), where as the vertical plane is associated with up-rightness, honour, and things of that nature. Now where have we heard the terms "Axis of Evil", "North" and "South", "Towers" (as in the Watchtowers NSEW) before. That's right; 9/11 2001.

If the N-S Watchtowers are meant to stand for justice, truth, up-rightness and all that is good in society, then doesn't that mean that an attack on these two institutions is also a symbolic attack on all that is good and honest within society? You betcha. Was it the intention of the elite to build the Twin Towers just so that they could destroy them and there by seek to limit the influence of the Axis of Good in our world so that they could push their agenda of tyranny and evil across the globe? That again is correct.

In some sense, the Manhattan Island and the WTC complex - in particular - were constructed to emulate the Land of Oz. This information is already well known.

It is often commented upon, how the whole "world watched the events of 9/11 unfold on their TV screens." This statement feeds back into the acronym WWE (We Watch Everything). This perhaps an indictment of the voyeuristic nature of our society. In the aftermath of the tragedy a burgeoning interest in 9/11 swept the internet to an almost disproportionate level. This in turn feeds back into the acronym WWW (World Wide Web). This is to show that the web of corporate media who seek to control the internet belongs to the Axis of Evil.

Numerological data of above graph is as follows;

WWW/double-u, double-u,double-u = 2x2x2 = 8. If we continue this count around the graph in a clockwise motion, we get GWN = 9 and GWS = 11. This is again to show that the Axis of Good is referred to by the numbers 9/11 Furthermore, if we input the initials for the Wizard of Oz (WO) at the centre of the graph we get W+O, or WTO, the World Trade Organisation.

Summary (based on earlier notes):

The destruction of the North and South Towers of the WTC buildings was an attack on the N/S axis (the Axis of Glinda and the Good Witch of the North). This act was carried out symbolically by the Wicked Witch of the West (WWW) or by George W. Bush, who is also known simply as 'W'. As already stated, the island of Ireland is in some way related to the Land of Oz, with its 5-part divisions, and the Island of Manhattan, through the work of artist Matthew Barney. The links between New York and Oz are many and varied and can be found easily with a simple search on the Internet. But one of the simplest is the fact that OZ is equal to NY by substituting the order of the alphabet one place to the left (See Caeser cypher).

The (Pigeon House) Poolbeg Power Station is Ireland's version of the Twin Towers. Its red and white markings, which was so paint to stop planes colliding with it, evoke the evoke the colors of the WWE stockings. Therefore, the Poolbeg Power Station equates to the WWW and WWE axis (the Axis of Evil) while the WTC towers were the Axis of Good.

Should the Poolbeg station be destroyed to balance the destruction of the N-S towers? Probably.
But, remember no-one can die in Oz. All we ever see of WWE is her and stockings, with the characteristic red/black and white stripes, and that is all we see in the Dublin Power Station also. The WWE herself is crushed by the Pigeon House (i.e. Dorothy's house). It should also be noted that the reason why the PPS is painted that way is to stop planes from flying into it. This is ironic when we consider what happened to the WTC 1 and 2.

The Blue Kachina; Part 1

Whilst I was reading a post by Goro Adachi on his website my Dad asked me if I wanted to throw out “a brown angel box.” The box used to contain a glockenspiel made by Korean company Blue Angel. Now, because Goro was discussing brown dwarfs crashing into the moon and the Korean missile fiasco, I decided to take a closer look at this bright orange packaging, my Dad is slightly colour-blind.

Marlene Dietrich played 'Lola -Lola' in the von Sternburg 1930 movie Blue Angel. I wondered what Marlene was up to in 1955, and because I could not remember her name I typed, german actress Blue Angel 1955 into Google. What I saw there made me think that I had strayed into an Alternative Universe;

Born: [Kater]Nina Hagen, born in East Berlin, East Germany, March 11, 1955, actress, Blue Angel.

The information here is not totally correct. Nina Hagen is not an actress, she is a singer. But she did produce an album with the title Blue Angel, and must surely have heard of Marlene Dietrich, as this tip of the hat suggests.

Here Nina is seen striking the signature pose of the Blue Angel, Marlene Dietrich. Nina, however, has a Doomsday Clock hanging from her hip that say 5 minutes to Midnight. We know this from the skull above it that says, Little Killer. This picture was taken in 1985. The Doomsday Clock moved forward to 5 minutes to Midnight for the first time on January 17th 2007, where it remains for the present. Nina Hagen is strongly outspoken stance against Nuclear arms would explain the inclusion of the Doomsday clock.

Nina Hagen began her career with a unique blend of reggae, punk and operatic singing. She is also credited as being one of the first artist to include electronic media in music. Nina has been interviewed by high exposure talk show hosts like David Letterman. In these early interviews she discussed veganism, the necessity of world peace, LSD and an Eastern mystic known as Babaji the master of masters. By the 80s, however, her public appearances became increasingly hysterical and made reference to aliens and UFOs. In one interview she hounded a fellow guest and accused him of being “an evil alien” and told him “to go home”. If you go to Nina’s blogspot you can read about her interests which include angel and demon hierarchies (alien races) and Hopi Indian Prophecy.

Nina has claimed to be half human and half angel. In Nina's philosophy. as in many others, angels and aliens are inter-changeable. A Blue Angel could therefore be reinterpreted as a Blue Alien. In Luc Bessons film “The Fifth Element” Leeloo (Lola Lola) is a half human, half devine space being played by actress Mila Jojovich. The childish tempestuous and loving nature of her character Leeloo is easily comparable with that of the real life Nina Hagen. Compare the picture of Leeloo here with that of the two women in the pictures above; notice the similarities in their posture; the prominently bent knee and the arm traversing to make the letter 'A'.

Another pivotal character in the movie is Diva Plavalaguna, an opera singer that conceals four sacred stones. During her act she makes great use of electronic backing instruments and vocoders. She is the Blue Alien.


Half way through the movie, Leeloo (Jojovich) and Korben Dallas, played by Bruce Willis, travel to Fhloston Paradise, in the Angel constellation. Their mission is to retrieve four stones, before the evil military contractor Zorg can place his hands on them. Korben is the unwitting winner of two tickets to Fhloston Paradise through the annual competition Gemini Croquette. Jiminy Cricket, from where the competition's name is derived, is a character in Walt Disney’s children classic Pinocchio.

In the story Pinocchio is brought to life by the Blue Fairy. Later Pinnochio is lured to Pleasure Island (Lost in Paradise), by the nefarious Coachman. He escapes home only to find that Geppeto has been eaten by a whale. Eventually all four characters end up in the whale's belly – like the four stones in the Diva's possession. The above picture hints at the whereabouts of those stones. The Diva is representative of the whale.

The four stones of geology are; diamond, sapphire, ruby and emerald. James Shelby Downard wrote in his essay Kill King 33 that Dorothy's slippers from The Wizard of Oz "symbolize the immense power of "ruby light," otherwise known as the laser." Early lasers utilized synthetic ruby rods as their gain medium. Ruby Rod is the name of the flamboyant DJ on board the Space Pleasure Cruiser orbiting Fhloston Paradise. When we first meet Ruby Rod, played by Chris Tucker, he makes repeated reference to heat and fire, the very action of the laser. When he asks how his show went he is told, "Crystal green... like emerald green." Emeralds, of course, play a big part in the Wizard of Oz, as well as in Alchemical works; like the Emerald Tablet. Leeloo is an alchemical weapon of light against the "Great Evil". She must transmute the energy of the four stones into an energy beam of the fifth state in order to save the universe.



The whole reason behind obtaining the four sacred stones is to stop the Great Evil from reaching Earth. The Great Evil is a planet-sized dark star similar to a brown dwarf. Every 5,000 years it returns to earth to destroy all life. This star is Nemesis, the hypothetical brown dwarf companion star of our Sun that contributes to periodic mass extinctions here on earth (according to the theories of Richard Muller and others).

The 27th element of the periodic table is Cobalt. This applies to the 27 notes of the glockenspiel and the harmonic frequency of this atom. Cobalt is a key ingredient for all life on this planet, especially mammalian life; whales, dolphins etc. Cobalt is used to make a vivid blue colour, Cobalt Blue. The word Cobalt is derived from the German kobald, the name miners gave to dwarves and goblins that inhabit the earth. So, here we have the blue dwarf that originated in Germany just as Blue Angels Nina Hagen and Marlene Dietrich did.

Nina Hagen has a strong connection with the End of the World, as can be seen by the Doomsday Clock in her Blue Angel tribute photograph. Just how strong this connection is, will be revealed in part 2.
