Not sure how much people are into advertising but I've always found it fascinating because it's so unavoidable, I'd recommend the book The Secret Sales pitch on subliminal advertising ( because its the only one I've read). Here are a few adverts (that ad site is amazing, has every advert on the planet practically, but you have to click on it then click play, don't see the point of having an embed button if it's just a regular link...). Recently, I've noticed a change in advertising in general, loads more symbolic numbers, an emphasis on "belief" (are they getting ready to make us believe some crazy bullsh*t like Osama doing 9/11 type thing), loads of Sun worship etc. Here are a few from the cosmetics industry, also they don't stay free forever on that site so leave me a comment if they start asking you to pay and I'll covertly upload them to youtube or something.
Alluring ad from Stella magazine. Mirrored El Goddess. Purple, gold, hexagons, and other (see comments section for some excellent info on this one).
Boots have been going all out on the occult advertising it seems. Their latest campaign is showing the No7 over and over. Check out this Free gift worth £33 (It's insane how much of this sh*t is around atm), has monarch butterflies and yellow brick roads! I'm convinced that pattern of a circle with a dot in the centre is used in mind control (eye symbol?) because I was watching The Apprentice and Alan Sugar was wearing a tie with similar patterns, then the news comes on the anchor is wearing another one with that pattern!
This next similar one from Boots evokes Crowley as it offers 3 No7's for the price of 2 so 777.
This one was pretty interesting, sun/goddess worship (yes I know we're nearing Summer) but the prominence of the No7 piqued my interest. Look at Marie Claire Summer Secrets (check their symbolic logo) really pushing it, trying to get as many people to participate in the Sun worship as possible. Here are a few screens (not in order). Touch of Sunshine.
One more, loads of red/white/blue hexagons in this advert for Aquafresh toothpaste. From my previous Bones and other I have discussed parts of the face being used in mind control, obviously this uses the teeth/mouth. I do think there is more than first meets the eye to many of these adverts, cheers.
Edit: To illustrate some more the rise of "belief" in advertising lately here is one completely blatant ad that I saw last night during Midnight Man, the creator of the video is right: "How weird is this?". (Also see short post on Barack) Re-edit: It appears this video is over a year old, but they are bringing back loads of old symbolic adverts too it seems as I also saw that really old Chelsea insurance advert last night where the guy mentions in relation to how he can get £10,000, "I've got a dead certainty, the 3:30 at Kempton".
