Sex, violence...............and xmas trees...............



That dialogue is telling him to get a cloak that’s lined with a certain pattern, which is found to be in possession of royal monarchy. This reinforces the theory that there is a privileged elite and bloodline tied to these characters. We’ll come back to this Milich/daughter scenario again later as we explore her role in the Triple Goddess formula…
With costume in hand, Bill walks up to gates of Somerton; the mansion in which the infamous orgy scene takes place. We hear a crow cawing three times, which could be a metaphor for denying Christ as Peter did in the Bible. Surely the house he is about to walk in is a mockery of Christ with its reversed-mass and orgies. He also provides the password for entry with Fidelio, which was a Beethoven opera. The connection here is pointed out by Tim Kreider:

Asked about Alex’s fondness for Ludwig Van in A Clockwork Orange, Kubrick answered, “I think this suggests the failure of culture to have any morally refining effect on society. Many top Nazis were cultured and sophisticated men, but it didn’t do them, or anyone else, much good.”  This point is reprised overtly in Eyes Wide Shut when we hear the title of a Beethoven opera used as the password to an orgy
As he walks in we see female goddesses holding up lights; indicating Venus the light bearer or Lucifer, or the Illuminated ones:



It seems as if every scene up until this point features a Christmas tree,  usually upon entrance. Wikipedia says that Lee Siegel believes the purpose of the Christmas tree motif is:
because it symbolizes the way that “Compared with the everyday reality of sex and emotion, our fantasies of gratification are, yes, pompous and solemn in the extreme…. For desire is like Christmas: it always promises more than it delivers.”
The Somerton mansion is the only location in the film without a tree, and there is no Christmas music to be found on the film, so there is some very peculiarities with this theme that needs explored further.
The mansion referred to as Somerton in the film is actually a mansion that was built for Baron Mayer Amschel de Rothschild. That name of Rothschild should ring a bell because of their ties to conspiracy theories and their history of running the banking industry; which effectively made them the wealthiest family in human history. The Rothschild family name means “at the sign of the red shield”, derived from the location of the house in the Jewish ghettos of Frankfurt where the ancestors trace to. Their financial power was used to help the British win in the Napoleonic Wars against the French and their Jewish background led to conspiracy theories that not only persist to this day, but were the subject of Nazi propaganda films.
Getting back to the Mentmore Towers, we can see this mansion in the film Batman Begins as Bruce Wayne’s Manor which is directed by Christopher Nolan (again tying EWS to Batman films). Some say that Nolan has access to esoteric knowledge through the placement of themes in his films like the ‘SANDY HOOK’ that appears on the map before the shootings occurred.
When Bill is in the house you can witness the creepy mask and the ominous music. Theorists claim that the chanting is reverse of Catholic mass, which is close, but not quite. The music is a backwards liturgy of Orthodox Christianity.
The masks at the mansion are Venetian, and authors Tim Kreider and Thomas Nelson claim that it links to Venice’s reputation of being a center of eroticism. The sexual ritual shows that the previous party at Ziegler’s was just a ‘disguise’ to the Somerton mansion party in which people really let loose. This is one of the themes of the film, showing us that everyone puts on a mask to hide their true nature and desires (to be promiscuous, presumably).
