Topic: Hexagram

Mark LeClair’s analysis of "Eyes Wide Shut" (EWS) suggests the title is an anagram missing the letter "N" for North, which corresponds to Saturn's position in the ceremonial ritual of the hexagram. The theory posits that the film's protagonist, played by Tom Cruise, lacks a "true north" while navigating Manhattan. This missing element is framed as a deliberate occult detail embedded by Kubrick to attune the work to specific solar system frequencies.

The distinction between banishing and invoking rituals is explained, with banishing described as "magical brushing of the teeth" for spiritual hygiene. Invoking rituals act as a "power-up" to enhance the practitioner's ability to master their life and interact with specific elemental or planetary forces. Advanced practitioners may use the Greater Ritual of the Pentagram or Hexagram to target specific energies like the planet Jupiter.
