Masonic and Occult Symbolism of Washington DC

Posts like these got me interested in the design and architecture of some of the world's major cities. In addition, conversations with another great steemian, @perceptualflaws, really started to pique my interest in the subject, particularly of the occult and esoteric variety.
Although my interest in the topic originates in the architecture of DC, I will not go into too much depth here. Instead, I only wish to use it to introduce some of the fundamentals related to masonic symbolism.
Washington DC
The National Mall of the US capital embodies US history, iconography and is at the same time the center of US political power.
A French architect named Pierre Charles L'Enfant_ drafted and designed the now iconic landscape at the request of George Washington who was a devout Freemason.
Today's Washington, D.C. owes much of its unique design to Pierre Charles L'Enfant, who came to America from France to fight in the Revolutionary War and rose from obscurity to become a trusted city planner for George Washington. L'Enfant designed the city from scratch, envisioning a grand capital of wide avenues, public squares and inspiring buildings in what was then a district of hills, forests, marshes and plantations.
The centerpiece of L'Enfant's plan was a great "public walk." Today's National Mall is a wide, straight strip of grass and trees that stretches for two miles, from Capitol Hill to the Potomac River. Smithsonian museums flank both sides and war memorials are embedded among the famous monuments to Lincoln, Washington and Jefferson.
L'Enfants's plans were more ambitious then what Washington had originally asked of him. The architect and engineer conceived a plan that incorporated diagonal avenues intersecting with rectangles, triangles, circles and squares where monuments could be erected. The presidential home was not the focus, though it was a main feature of the plan. The nations capital building was at the center of l'Enfant's designs and would become the basis for the McMillan plan for construction in 1901.
Masonic Symbolism in DC
I'm a skeptic by nature. When I finally got around to making my first foray into the Masonic and occult symbolism in the streets of DC I have to admit I was more than a little intrigued.
The very first examples I came across were symbols in the National Mall and Lafayette Square.

complex.com
The street grid of DC forms a pentagram with the White House at the end of the 5 pointed star. It should be noted that the pentagram is imperfect with a small section of the west side which does not connect through a diagonal avenue to complete the pentagram.

At this point I feel it's important to understand some of the common symbols found in Free Masonry.
The Square and The Compass
The single most identifiable masonic symbol is the square and compass, tools of free masonry. These architect tools are employed in masonic rituals and are emblems to teach symbolic lessons.
The Arch of the Covenant
It reveals God's promise to David which through we receive God's continued mercy for our transgressions.
The Masonic Eye - All Seeing Eye
The symbolic Eye of God. It is the symbol of God's divine presence and ominpotent care of the universe. Because God is without beginning and without end - God always is and always has been.
The Masonic Altar
The Masonic altar is the place where the Holy Books are found and is a symbol of our place of communion with God.
In times past, the altar was a place of sacrifice, atonement and communion with God.
The Letter G
G literally represents God. In the Hebrew bible the letter G is Gheemel and has a numeric value of 3.
The Keystone
As a symbol of completion. The Keystone is the final stone that is placed to complete the construction of an arch. This distinctively shaped stone is crucial for upholding the arch and maintaining its stability.
The Owl
The owl is an important symbol in Freemasonry. It represents the Goddess, wisdom, vigilance and ancient knowledge. It represents the nocturnal - the ruler of the night - guardian of the underworlds inhabited by demons.

The Owl is an interesting symbol that seems to also appear in the landscape of Capitol Hill.

Another Masonic symbol is prominently on display in the National Mall architecture. The tools of Free Masonry are not difficult to spot from a bird's eye view. In fact, the Owl is perched atop the square and compass.

DC Temple
If we return to the first image depicting both the pentagram and the square and compass we also can trace an almost perfect 90 degree angle northward leading to the Supreme Council 33 Scottish Rite Temple of Freemasonry.
The Supreme Council Masonic Temple
phoenixmasonry.org
https://scottishrite.org/
Modeled after the Mausoleum at Halicarnassus, one of the 7 Wonders of the Ancient World, the temple has 33 outer columns each measuring 33 feet in height.
The double-headed eagle, the chief symbol of Scottish Rite, is located on all the outside corners of the House of the Temple. The crown represents the 33 degrees.
The double-headed eagle is the chosen symbol for the Scottish Rite Freemasons. According to the Scottish Rite, the symbol represents perfection.
The double-headed eagle not only symbolizes the dual nature of man and the Masons as a whole, but it also stands for the spiritual regeneration of oneself through the unification of opposites.
Summary
I'm sure many of you are already familiar with the Masonic symbolism of Washington DC. This symbolism can also be found in a number of major cities across the globe: London, Paris, Berlin, Vatican City, etc. I'm FAR from being any type of expert on Free Masonry, Sacred Geometry, or Esoteric/Occult symbolism, let's be clear about that.
I've simply developed an interest in this topic. It also happens to coincide with some other research I've been working on which I'm looking forward to sharing with you sometime down the line.
One of the purposes of this post was to introduce the topic to those unfamiliar with this type of symbolic architecture. But, the main reason I made this post was to wet your pallet for an exploration of another city which one might consider to be the Mecca of Masonic symbolism.
To Be Continued...

Great work my friend, so much of this symbology surrounds us .. whatever any of us believes, on the world stage individual belief is an irrelevance, it has no real consequence .. the ELites of this world very much believe and practice the dark duality of the occult and (as they are are the ones that have the world by the balls) their belief system should be of interest to us all. You make a mention that the DC pentagram is imperfect .. within the deeper layers of the occult such imperfection does not appear to be a mistake and is actually known as Faustian pentagram, the Faustian aspect always leaves one arm missing to signify a pact with darkness, the summoning, and control of demonic energy etc etc. Thank you for the shout out .. hoping to get this renovation up to a livable standard in the next week or so .. would be good to have a catch up. :) Excellent post @v4vapid
Thank you my friend!
And what a great response. I'd not heard of the Faustian interpretation but I'm glad you picked up on this aspect because I've noticed this pattern in other examples not included in this post. I'll admit, I was a bit puzzled by the imperfections in prominent examples such as the DC pentagram since I assume these were created by freemasons and their reverence for perfection. As I stated, I'm far from being any kind of expert on occult symbolism so this new insight is much appreciated!
I also agree, that it really doesn't matter if we, the average person / the public, don't understand the purpose or the significance of these rituals and symbols of those that manifest them. There's significance and powerful purpose here for them. And that's what has piqued my interest so to speak and I'm sure why many others also are fascinated by these practices.
It's been a while, I hope he do find time to catch up as I always appreciate your deep understanding of a wide range of topics.
Cheers!
Thank you once again
Excellent post v4vapid. This past summer I read Dan Brown's Lost Symbol which deals with much of this same subject matter. Sadly, the book was a let down as it gives the Freemasons a completely free pass for their nefarious activities and mocks those who question their actions and motives. The following link may also help people expand their awareness on this interesting and controversial subject.
Secrets Hiding in Plain Sight - Quite possibly the most in-depth video online revealing esoteric symbolism used by the elite and incorporated into society. https://www.youtube.com/watch? v=L777RhL_Fz4
Hey @clarityofsignal!
Can't say I'm a fan of Dan Brown, I read the Da Vinci Code years ago and thought that it was destined for the big screen (he's not the most talented or imaginative writer out there). I did enjoy the concepts behind the book though and I can certainly imagine that he probably would let the Freemasons off the hook. I think he did the same with Opus Dei, but it's been a while since i read the book.
Thanks for the link and comment, I'll check out the link as soon as I get a chance! thanks
This is certainly one of the most brilliantly and perfectly compiled posts i have ever seen on this subject @v4vapid ! When i came here you were at 322 votes and thinking that this was probably not one of the best numbers for a post such as this i gave you mine and now you are at 333 and out of the shadow of owl !
And isn't it funny how a Founding KKKlansman & Confederate General's statue- Albert Pike- 33rd degree Freemason author stands in Judicial square?

Ha, great minds think alike, this was in part why I did the CERN post this morning, to raise consciousness, though without my personality or opinion involved, more a look see for yourself type post, Nice work bro.
Right on shepz1, I just checked it out... what are the odds?
I have seen that CERN opening ceremony before and it is absolutely some deliberate ritualistic tribute. I think that the elite and their secret societies put a lot of stock into rituals and symbols to help them achieve their goals, whatever they may be, power/wealth/control/etc.
Synchronicity I guess. :-)
And yes they love numbers, rituals etc, you only have to look at the amount of false flags on 22-3rd for that, 322 masons and all, and the figures of dead or injured always seem to be symbolic too.
The only thing that has kept them in control is the Fiat monetary system though, regardless of the imaginary rites and pretend sacrifices, and when that ends, so does their turn at ruining the world, the bible prophecy they think they are playing out, may actually bite them in the ass. :-)
I really like the way you werk!
Looking forward to more posts like this one in the future. I'd be delighted to contribute some weird awrtwerk to your stuff should the idea appeal to you. Thanks for being such an awesome curator. Whenever I see that you've paid attention to something that I've done, I'm like, welp! Must be doing something right! xoxo
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it. I do like 'weird' so yeah, i might be interested at a later time for some artsy-fartsy stuff, might be fun ;) atm I'm on the road and just mostly reading and curating when i have some free time. Lots of good content on the platform but not enough curators / content consumers right now so I'm posting less and reading more. I will definitely keep your offer in mind, thx!
@v4vapid, In my opinion the Symbolism holds lot of truth than other aspects. And most of the times we see these symbolism and i think that now in this world most of the aspects are packed with the Symbolism and subliminal messages. So, it's really important to understand the true knowledge to stay away from the false and deception. True knowledge can set us free.
Wishing you an great day and stay blessed. 🙂

There are plenty of examples in DC, even NY. Like perhaps statue of liberty could be considered ISIS, with cap of 7 virtues. Thought this was good post, so upvoted. ✌@v4vapid
Cheers, yes I'm sure there are plenty of examples in NYC. I'm going to introduce another city in an upcoming post that really caught my interest ;)
