The Secret Architecture of Our Nations Capital - The Masons and the Building of Washington, D.C. |
This is a facsinating book. I'll post some pictures for you in a day or so...if you want.
Quote: |
Today, there are more than twenty complete zodiacs in Washington, D.C., each one pointing to an extraordinary mystery. David Ovason, who has studied these astrological devices for ten years, now reveals why they have been placed in such abundance in the center of our nation's capital and explains their interconnections. His richly illustrated text tells the story of how Washington, from its foundation in 1791, was linked with the zodiac, with the meaning of certain stars, and with a hidden cosmological symbolism that he uncovers here for the first time.
Fascinating and thoroughly researched, The Secret Architecture of Our Nation 's Capital is an engrossing book that raises provocative questions and otters complex insights into the meanings behind the mysterious symbols in Washington. |
HINTU!
It's all about the virgo baby.

I saw a similar map in the book, The Temple and the Lodge.
Also worth a read.
I'd be interested in Rhyst's take. |

Benjamin Banneker? I believe he was a negro.
Anyway, hard to believe people actually pay money to buy those books. |

The Frenchie's name was Pierre Charles L'Enfant
Quote: |
Ovason's premise, if not belief, is that Pierre Charles L'Enfant (b. 1754/08/02, d. 1825/06/14) and Major Ellicott (b. 1754/01/24, d. 1820) intended Pennsylvania Avenue to provide a view of the setting sun from the Capitol building annually on August 10th. The reason for this was because on that day the sun is in 17 degrees of Leo and the star Regalus sets over the White House just over half an hour after sunset, leaving the stars "Spica, in Virgo, and Arcturus in Bootes." "They are the three stars which Masons such as Pike and Brunet recognized as enclosing the constellation of Virgo." [p. 346] This, he asserts, proves "the city was intended to celebrate the mystery of Virgo — of the Egyptian Isis, the Grecian Ceres and the Christian Virgin." [p. 349] |

Being a Virgo, I choose to believe Washington DC was built to celebrate me. |

I found the following on Conspiracyworld.com (!!!)
in 1959 there were 4,103,161 Master Masons in lodges in the U.S.A. By 1997 that number sank to just 2,021,909�and indications are that membership continues to erode.
Why I Oppose The Lodge
It is very possible that the more recent ferocious opposition to the Masonic Lodge in the 1990s is at least partly responsible for this dramatic drop. If so, admitting my own bias, I am glad. I count myself as one of those who oppose Freemasonry.
My reasons are many, though they center mainly on my informed conviction that the Masonic Lodge is unchristian, generally amoral, and decidedly unwholesome. Indeed, I view today�s Free-masonry as a loathsome leftover of the old pagan religions and an unfortunate reminder that a virulent form of occultism and Egyptianism lingers on within the boundaries of these United States.
I readily admit the Lodge is responsible for some worthy humanitarian endeavors, and there are some good men who are Masons. Nevertheless, its origins, nature, rituals, and practices negate whatever noteworthy attributes there are pertaining to Lodge membership.
Masonry Radically Anti-Christian
If Masonry was a negative force detrimental to the spiritual welfare of men in the day of Adams, it is much more so today. Following the great U.S. Civil War (1861-1865), a man named Albert Pike became Sovereign Grand Commander of Scottish Rite Freemasonry. Pike overhauled and revised the lodge rituals, implementing a 33 degree system of initiations that is far more radically anti-Christian and pagan than was previously in place.
Moreover, more recent Masonic leadership has continued to promote a universal theology and other distasteful aspects of Freemasonry which fall, in my opinion, on the dark side.
*********
My grandfather would be pretty outraged to be called unchristian, amoral and unwholesome. Except for that, I find this a hoot. |
