Occult Symbolism of November 5th: V for Vendetta
A short revisit of 2005's V for Vendetta and Occult Symbolism
In 2005 the film “V for Vendetta” was released and it showed us a near-future dystopian Britain governed by a neo-fascist totalitarian government called the Norsefire party. A man in a Guy Fawkes mask named V along with his partner Evey fight back against the oppression.
The story is inspired by the events of November 5th, 1605 Gunpowder Plot where Guy Fawkes attempted to kill the King of England with gunpowder underneath the Parliament building; but ultimately failed- leading to his arrest and execution.
The film uses some elements of this story- like the Guy Fawkes mask (*which the hacker group Anonymous would later begin to wear as well as general protestors).
The film also uses the rhyme “Remember, remember, the 5th of November” which was used in the 1626 poem “On the Fifth of November” (*which is why I’m writing this article quickly before US Election Day of November 5th, 2024).
Alan Moore
The film was based on the 1988 comic by Alan Moore- which ties us into the realm of the occult; given Alan Moore’s deeply entrenched occult practices of ceremonial magick.
“I believe that magic is art, and that art, whether that be music, writing, sculpture, or any other form, is literally magic. Art is, like magic, the science of manipulating symbols, words or images, to achieve changes in consciousness.
…Indeed to cast a spell is simply to spell, to manipulate words, to change people's consciousness, and this is why I believe that an artist or writer is the closest thing in the contemporary world to a shaman.” -Alan Moore
Alan Moore’s inspiration for the totalitarian fascist government was the Nazis, which is where the ideas of imprisoning “undesirables” like homosexuals and immigrants came from.
The government suppresses free speech and rules with an iron fist.
The Norsefire government also utilized symbols and propaganda to influence the masses.
There’s also themes of religious pedophiles working with the government to release manufactured viruses.
All of these things have been more in focus in the minds of Americans since 2020…
Symbols
One of the symbols used by the controlling powers in the film is a Double Cross:
This is also referred to as the Cross of Lorraine; also used by the Knights Templar who had several allegations of heresy and worship of the Baphomet.

V for Five
The main character in V for Vendetta is a man named “V.” His name comes from his survival from an experiment that killed everyone except for him- who was in Room 5 using the roman numeral V.
Strangely enough we see this Room V in the occulted film Metropolis; which ties us into an idea of going down into the underworld to unleash the forces of Typhon.
The letter V is what Winston Churchill used when he popularized the peace symbol to fight the solar powers of the Nazis (*again- a counter current to fascism). Churchill allegedly started using the peace symbol after consulting with British Intelligence agent Aleister Crowley.
V is also the Hierophant or The High Priest in the Tarot deck as the fifth card. It is the priest and exposer of the esoteric wisdom.
Robert Sullivan IV wrote an amazing write up on V for Vendetta in “Cinema Symbolism 2”:
“The Hierophant is the priest of the Mysteries because of its connection with the spiritual ethers, by means of which mystic development is attained. There is a dark, malevolent, sinister, evil side to the Hierophant Card: Eliphas Levi (1810-1875) has stated that the raised hand of the Hierophant’s (or Pope’s) forms a sign of esotericism: the thumb and first two fingers pointed upward, and the last two fingers folded onto the palm, casts a shadow shaped like the head and horns of the Devil, thus heralding disaster and misfortune. V embodies to this Tarot archetype: he is a mercurial, eccentric Gnostic master through whom Evey obtains mystical reawakening and alchemical change by way of V’s dark chicanery and deception; V aspires only after the impossible and inaccessible expecting only that which shall not be which, for him, is the destruction of Norsefire England.”
Another symbol we need to look at is the rose; depicted in the film as a Scarlet Carson.
This red rose is depicted on the Rosy Cross of Rosicrucianism. The purpose is to symbolize the initiate coming to light (the occult enlightenment). Rosicrucians will depict the rose on a cross (the Rosy Cross) to represent the mystical marriage; conjoining the moon and the sun (a mystical part of the alchemical process).
IN CONCLUSION
November 5th, 2024 is Election Day in America which triggered my revisit to V for Vendetta.
The film also features talk about quarantines, surveillance, destroying statues, media deception and more- which was eerily predictive of the events after the 2020 pandemic.
As far as what the occult message of this film contains; it seems that Alan Moore may have been showing us an alternative path to fascism and totalitarian theocracies. All of the V symbolism shows us occult powers of The High Priest of esoteric wisdom; which begs the question of why we can’t have a world that can have Christianity and freedom from totalitarian fascist theocracies?...
Surely that’s possible, we’ve done it for countless decades in America, but some could theorize that there are occult forces on both sides of the spectrum at play that seek to create a future world that eliminates each other.
For instance, in the occult esotericism of Traditionalism that Steve Bannon is fond of, there’s belief in an end age which results in a future epoch of patriarchal Handmaid’s Tale control. In both the film and Steve Bannon’s strategies; they rely on stoking fear through chaos. From chaos there is a desire for order- which comes by way of totalitarianism. They always seek to exchange our freedoms for supposed “safety.”
On the other side we have occultists of the Aleister Crowley variety that seek to destroy the “lying hypocrisy of Christianity” (as Jack Parsons said in “The Antichrist”).
For a much more in-depth look at V for Vendetta and the journey of Evey as the occult initiate who is subjected to a death and rebirth ritual as well as some heavily prophetic ideas about Q Anon being a psyop- listen to my 2020 episode of “Occult Symbolism and Pop Culture” podcast:

Great stuff! Seems to me that wearing a Guy Fawkes mask is like wearing a Lee Harvey Oswald mask. They were both patsies, though the comparison ends there. Fawkes thought himself a great hero, while Oswald had a job in a Book Depository. Fawkes destroyed his cause and strengthened the Crown. That's what this movie does- it's the opposite of what it seems. A movie about mind control designed to control your mind.
V is a comic book super hero. He isn't real...just like Superman and Batman.
Notice 'Anonymous' disappeared and never did shit anyway! As fake as Banksy.
Wearing the V mask makes makes an MI6 guy laugh his scotch up thru his nose. It's a born again psy-op. Guy Fawkes was an idiot.
V is not for anything other than the Divine Feminine
