Hidden Occult Messages in Alice in Wonderland
The book supports the supposition that Dodgson as a pedophile.
This is the only book that seems to list the following as Dodgson's interests:
Here's where some of the authors massive leaps of logic occur:
He goes on to develop this 'argument.' He seems to think that just because Dodgson sailed on a portion of a river referred to as Isis meant that somehow his work was tied into Isis worship and what goes with that. There is no logical relationship between those two things at all. None.
He tries to tie this Isis argument into Alice's name and the Illuminati group. Even the Anti-Christ gets to make an appearance.
Again, there is no logical connection among these things at all.
He also works to tie Alice in Wonderland to the initiation of people into various systems of occult mysticism. This begins with going down the rabbit hole being equated with Initiates walking along a special path to begin their initiation.
The tea party gets mention.
The fact that the 'food and drink' may be used in other ceremonies is ill-relevant. You could have exactly the same things on your own kitchen table but it doesn't prove any kind of link between your breakfast and Alice in Wonderland. The author's statements often imply a relationship when there isn't any at all.
Things get even wilder, trying to shop a relationship between the name of a kitten and the Kabbalah.
If you look up the name Dinah it also means the name of a Hebrew baby (which means avenged, judged and vindicated); the name is also the first name of many characters in movies and books. It's also the first name of a singer named Dinah Shore. Does this mean that any of these things are tied in to Alice in Wonderland? Absolutely not. He also ties all this into the High Priestess tarot card by the way.
Alice was abused?
Then there's a part complaining, it seems, about Alice being played by older women (in most of the movies) and somehow this is tied in to Alester Crowley.
First, this:
What the heck? Just because Carroll had birds in a story he predicted the rise of Alester Crowley? Crows happen to be mentioned numerous times in the Bible. Were these predicting the rise of Crowley? This is really, really reaching for some connection between two things that have no connection at all. Period. None.
Do you agree with the following statement?
Here's where he makes a mistake.
First, the Mad Hatter did not 'kill' time himself. He was judged as wasting time/killing time. This did not lead to chaos. Chaos was already there in Wonderland.
Later he ties the crown that Alice got in Through the Looking Glass to the Kabbalah.
Charles Dodgson would have hated this book for its incredible lack of logic and jumping to ill-got conclusions.
