Occult Symbolism in Pop Culture

I don't think it's a coincidence, no. They churn out tv shows and movies like this constantly, embedding the one-eye motif in promotional posters, etc

They employ smokescreens at times - so yes, you have a plausible explanation there with her simply striking a sexy pose.

With these Game of Thrones promotional posters for Season 3, for instance, they don't go all the way with the one-eye motif and just colour one side of the face:

Note that there are 13 portraits in this series.

13 is considered a power number, even The power number.

Game of Thrones premiered on 3-31-13

3+3+1+2+0+1+3= 13

Pope Francis was elected on 3-13-13 incidentally, and so adds up the same of course. I tend to interpret that as something metaphysical in that case, however. Whole heap of 13s surrounding Francis and his election, worth a thread on it's own http://sherriequestioningall.blogspo...3-italian.html

Nope, that's just being lazy, or whatever.


















Besides the True Blood poster, that's grabbing images of stuff with new episodes (these small pics are handy) from the last 2-3 days. There's other shows running with similar promo posters, and certainly other shows that aren't currently running that have such posters.

Actually the way the human brain works is that it only processes one half of a person's face. Right handed people are most often right eye dominant. So they will often only focus cross wise to their left.

Try this experiment: cover your dominant eye and then try to sort out a visual puzzle, painting, or anything involving spacial reasoning.

we're not really sure how the human brain works, dominant doesn't mean the other side sees nothing. Apparently some filling in does occur -they know this from people who have there brain hemisphere separated to some degree in epilepsy treatment, but this filling in is only total for each half when the visual processing areas of each half are separated. I don't see the relevance here as you immediately notice the different shading on one side of the above photos etc. I regularly notice hair in peoples eyes -either left or right eyes; I find it annoying, and feel the urge to move the hair away from female's eyes so they can see properly -I think it looks nuts. Obviously fashion (emo? but it seems more mainstream recently) will mean a lot more of this hair in eyes imagery in popular culture.

You mentioned gangers, but masons do love all this secret signs stuff. Christians used to litter their creations with Christian imagery, so you would expect the same for pagans (those with a fetish for the esoteric would be expected to make it cryptic too).

The sex and violence the media churn out is no secret and something that could be tackled separately from the masons/pagan/Gnosticism stuff (which is going to be a non starter for a lot of non Christians, and looks plausibly a nutty conspiracy theory, even though it probably is true).

Consider that pre-modern, pre-industrial Christian culture used to have plenty of sex and violence. It was a probably healthier then when in Catholic culture they acknowledge that people are going to screw, get blitzed, and fight each other. It seems that some time during the Baroque era an overly Romantic and Sentimental streak emerged.

To put in other words: consider how Saints like St. Joan of Arc take 500 years to be canonized, but some of the Saints from the religious orders are pretty much Sainted at their last breath. Sorry but I will take a Fra' Jean Parisot de Valette over St. Theresa of Avila any day.

These posters are examples of the teal-and-orange virus:
