 Let's take a look at what may & what I believe is behind the nauseous phenomenon of the Tin Foil Hat. 'Aleister Crowley wrote Liber OZ in 1941 for Louis Wilkinson (AKA Louis Marlow), based on a degree lecture he had written around 1916. His original name for it was “The Book of the Goat,” & he considered it as a sort of manifesto for O.T.O…. The Hebrew word OZ conveys a number of meanings. Pronounced owes, it means “strength.” Pronounced ezz, it means “a she-goat.” Pronounced ahs, it means “strong, mighty”; but if held a bit longer, it means “to take refuge.” The letters Ayin Zayin add to 77, which number also includes such words as BOH, “prayed”; & MZL...' - https://sabazius.oto-usa.org/observations-on-liber-oz/ & who could the goat be? Here's a clue; It begins with Baphomet & ends in Herm-Aphrodite (Fire-Water). Did anyone find the characters & some of the dialogue in the 1940 film The Wizard Of Oz somewhat confusing as a child? I could never understand why the Good Witch then the Wicked Witch used language involving (what I thought of as random) references to; Sulphur, Incense, Poppy's, Fire & Water etc, although I loved it, it struck me as strange at the time. Now I know what was meant by the symbols in the movie, they represent the mingling into fable/metaphor, the elements & metals of……Alchemy.  'Of my Base metal may be filed a Key, That shall unlock the Door he howls without.' - Omar Khayyam (The Rubaiyat) In the instance of the Tin Man, for his bravery he received a heart. In Alchemy, the 7 metals were equated with the 7 planets known to the ancients (see above & my Magnificent 7 Blog), to tin was given the planet of Jupiter which is Zeus in the Greek, & Zeus in the Mystery Religions represents consciousness, Jupiter/Zeus also represents the star sign of Sagittarius & the Yellow Road of ancient Chinese philosophy is the Golden Road of the sun. For an understanding of our story we need to take this further however. The goal of Alchemy is to unite the male & female aspects of man, that is, the mind (consciousness) & the heart (emotion), the mind is referred to as 'Fire' & the female aspect of the heart is related by them to 'Water'; The goal of the Alchemist is; 'To make the fire burn in the water'. Alchemy is the transmutation of the human being into an artificially created creature called the 'Homunculus', wherein the male (reason/strength) & female (love/intuition) attributes of human nature are to be brought together, in perfect equilibrium & is termed the Hermetic Marriage by the Alchemists. Note the proliferation of the LGBT Movement recently.
Now then, equally puzzling (& alarming) to me when I first began seeing it was the aforementioned new fad of the media appropriating to the Conspiracy Theorist a; Tin Foil Hat. Some may have seen in my previous Blogs my attempts to show how the archetypal symbols of the Mysteries are being played out on the objective world, rather theatrically I might add (see also my videos on the Tarot). My hypotheses is (if I've not appropriated it from somewhere), for the Alchemy to take hold, an outer expression of the formulas has to be conducted, for example burning towers, an Arian Princess hooking up with an Egyptian & consummating their immortality in a tunnel etc….. It may sound far fetched but what's actually fundamental to all this Magick is merely 'Metaphor', it's been taught in our schools for years now especially through the Rosicrucian works of William Shakespeare. His Plays are riddled with Occultism, Witchcraft & the like, just as the most favourite children's film of all time, The Wizard Of Oz…..is. So if the Alchemical metal of tin refers to Zeus, Zeus principally represents consciousness, & the goal of Alchemy is principally the transformation of consciousness (See my Manly Hall videos on that), then one should expect to find the Alchemical metal of tin placed where it belongs, on the head, the seat of consciousness, if the formula of outer expression or the Magick is to take hold. I can illustrate my point by presenting two of the most familiar Alchemists of our day, Art Bell & Alex Jones in performance of one of their duties, i.e., the discreditation of the Truth Movement;
Below; The Alchemist, Notre Dame Cathedral, Paris. 'Make the Fire to burn in Water'  Like the careless Alchemist I may have mixed my metals up somewhere along the line because as you can see, there's layer after layer of metaphor behind these symbols but I doubt I'm far off with the principle of it. For example, the three (always is with this stuff) protagonists assisting Dorothy (a pilgrim/traveller) on her quest home, all receive items corresponding to the formula of the perfection of the soul, with the Strawman getting a brain, Tinman a heart & the Lion courage, which as I see it is a euphemism for FAITH, the binding or catalysing agent, or synthesis, à la Hegel, in the perfection of the Philosophers Stone, or complete (androgynous) human being, so the vicissitudes of Dorothy's & her 3 assistants in the Wizard of Oz represent the purification of the metals, according to me. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Incidentally, the 7 metals of Alchemy also represent the 7 Liberal Arts & Sciences; 'Every Fellowcraft Mason learns of the importance of the liberal arts & sciences, of which he is instructed they are seven; namely, Grammar, Rhetoric, Logic, Arithmetic, Geometry, Music & Astronomy. Unfortunately few Freemasons today take this instruction with any degree of seriousness & make no further effort to examine the nature of these arts. Like much of Freemasonry, the liberal arts & sciences come to us from the Medieval period, when they were believed to be the sum total of all knowledge that was worth while to a complete education.' - Mackey's Encyclopaedia Of Freemasonry (1873) What does Wikipedia say about the (predominantly American) phenomenon of the Tin Foil Hat; 'A tin foil hat is a hat made from one or more sheets of aluminium foil, or a piece of conventional headgear lined with foil, worn in the belief or hope that it shields the brain from threats such as electromagnetic fields, mind control, & mind reading. The notion of wearing homemade headgear for such protection has become a popular stereotype & byword for paranoia, persecutory delusions, & belief in pseudoscience & conspiracy theories.' I wonder how? You can wager no one apart from those who've been initiated in some way (Freemasons/military etc) would ever even think of placing tin foil around their head. All of the arts & sciences are being REFORMED. Wherever you hear that word it means the Brotherhood are at work behind it, you'll see it especially prevalent these days in the social science of…..Politics
 'Sometimes late when things are real & people share the gift of gab between themselves Some are quick to take the bait & catch the perfect prize that waits among the shelves But Oz never did give nothing to the Tin Man That he didn't, didn't already have & Cause never was the reason for the evening Or the tropic of Sir Galahad. So please believe in me When I say I'm spinning round, round, round, round Smoke glass stain bright color Image going down, down, down, down Soapsuds green like bubbles Oh, Oz never did give nothing to the Tin Man That he didn't, didn't already have & Cause never was the reason for the evening Or the tropic of Sir Galahad So please believe in me When I say I'm spinning round, round, round, round Smoke glass stain bright color Image going down, down, down, down Soapsuds green like bubbles' Songwriter - Dewey Bunnell The Holy Grail in the Mysteries is the Heart, the Cup of the King (i.e. Holy Blood Holy Grail). 'Alchemy is a great system of human regeneration' (Manly Hall). I assume the formulas for the transmutation/purification of the base metals depend on planet conjunctions, which is why pagan organisations such as Unify hold mass meditation gatherings on specific dates, this is why we have terrorist attacks recurring on certain dates. The 7 'sacred' metals always refer to the purification of principles inside ourselves, they are both the 7 Hindu Chakras & the 7 Seals of Revelation, which if you remember, when the 7 seals of the scroll are opened one by one by the Lamb, they reveal Gods punishments on Man during the Tribulation (the 4 Horsemen of the Apocalypse etc), & if you read those passages in the Bible, you'll see they bear a striking resemblance to events occurring today. - https://www.gotquestions.org/seven-seals-Revelation.html  Epiblog Below are some quotes taken from Mackey's Encyclopaedia Of Freemasonry for according to them, one of the founders of the Craft, Tubal Cain; 'Bryant's etymology may be adopted, however, without any interference with the identity of Vulcan & Tubal Cain. He who discovered the uses of fire.......The first Masonic reference to Tubal Cain is found in the Legend of the Craft, where he is called the Founder of Smith-Craft, an explanation agreeing closely with modern biblical scholarship which designates him as the "Founder of the Gild of Smiths or Metal Workers." Legend has it Joseph of Arimathea (in who's tomb Jesus was placed) made his fortune from trading with the tin mines of south west England, 'According to some legends he was actually Jesus' uncle, & had visited Britain years before with Jesus in the pursuit of his interests in the tin trade. It appears that there actually was a strong Jewish presence in the west of England at that time, & many of the tin miners may have been Jewish settlers. At any rate, when Jesus died, Joseph thought it prudent to flee Palestine, & after many travails he came to Britain with a company of followers. He brought with him the Holy Grail, the cup used by Jesus at the Last Supper....When Joseph came to Britain he was granted land at Glastonbury by the local king. When he arrived at Glastonbury, Joseph stuck his thorn staff in the earth, whereupon it rooted & burst into bloom.' - https://www.britainexpress.com/Myths/Glastonbury.htm Notice the four travellers in the Wizard of Oz all require a virtue & are opposed by witchcraft. The witch is very definitely the Catholic Church; 'pour a little incense on their heads to take the fight out of them'. The Church is symbolically regarded by the Mysteries as adhering to 'The waters of Faith', they themselves are 'The philosophers of fire' (See Max Heindel; Freemasonry & Catholicism 1908). The witch was killed by water, not by their element fire, but by its very own. Incidentally; 'The Magic Flute is a fairy tale of darkness, light, & finding your way in the world. It takes the form of a Singspiel, which means it includes singing & spoken dialogue (a bit like a musical). The story opens in the middle of the action. Tamino, a prince lost in a foreign land, is being pursued by an enormous monster. He is rescued by three mysterious ladies, who kill the monster & give Tamino a picture of Pamina, daughter of the Queen of the Night, with whom he falls instantly in love. They tell him that Pamina has been captured by the powerful & evil Sarastro, & Tamino vows to rescue her. With the gift of a magic flute & some magic bells, & the assistance of the bird-catcher Papageno (who has become reluctantly involved), Tamino sets off on his quest. However, he soon discovers that nothing, not even Day & Night, is quite as it first appears…' - https://www.operanorth.co.uk/news/the-magic-flute-in-a-nutshell/ (Please listen to the below lecture for context)
