Connor D. Sullivan, the Hidden AmuraKa author of The Cup of Hermes, reads the film industry as a working temple of movie magick in this beginner's guide to the esoteric side of Hollywood, issued by his own imprint in 2025. The introduction takes the etymology of the word weird back to the Old English wyrd and the Norse Norns, the three sisters who weave fate, and argues that cinema now plays that role, shaping perception through predictive programming and the occult principle of the revelation of the method. Thirteen illustrated chapters then decode individual films and rituals of Tinsel Town: the oath of silence, the magic wand of holly wood and the Druids, The Matrix as fiction or documentary, the esoteric meaning of The Truman Show, Charlie and the occult chocolate factory, the alchemy of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Star Wars as the original religion of light, Fallout and the world to come, and the Kabbalistic influence in Hollywood. The book closes with the coming Aeon of HollyWEIRD. Readers of film-as-mythology and symbol studies will find a dense catalogue of signs.
