Dragon’s Head

George Washington – U.S. Capitol Building Ceremony

Look closely at the image above. George Washington appears in full Masonic regalia as the cornerstone of the U.S. Capitol building was laid in an elaborate ceremony. The above painting is a historically accurate depiction of the Freemason’s cornerstone laying ceremony that took place on September 18,1793 in Washington, D.C. as the construction of the U.S. Capitol building was begun. Note to the right are three men bearing corn, oil, and wine. These are poured atop the cornerstone as part of an offering to the god of Freemasonry. The identity of this god is clearly revealed in the following passage of Scripture where the prophet Hosea has recorded the words of Yahweh.

Hosea 2:8
For she did not know that I gave her corn, and wine, and oil, and multiplied her silver and gold, which they prepared for Baal.
KJV

Every major building in Washington, D.C., the capital of the United States, was dedicated with the laying of the cornerstone in a Masonic ritual. In every occurrence, the Freemasons, many of whom were Congressmen, Presidents, and other national leaders, offered up corn, oil, and wine as part of the ceremony.

Specific words are recited at each cornerstone laying ceremony. Following is that portion of the ritual relating to the corn, wine and oil. As you read it, keep in mind that the one referred to as Supreme Grand Architect, Supreme Ruler of the World, and Almighty God is known to the author of these rites to be Satan.

The Deputy Grand Master receives from the Grand Marshal the vessel containing Corn, and spreads the corn upon the stone, saying:

DEPUTY GRAND MASTER: May the health of the workman employed in this undertaking be preserved to them, and the Supreme Grand Architect bless and prosper their labors.

ALL BRETHREN: So mote it be.

The Grand Senior Warden then receives from the Grand Marshal the vessel containing wine, and pours the wine upon the stone, saying:

GRAND SENIOR WARDEN: May plenty be showered down upon the people of this State, and may the blessing of the bounteous Giver of all things attend their philanthropic undertakings.

ALL BRETHREN: So mote it be.

The Grand Junior Warden then receives the vessel containing Oil and pours the oil upon the stone, saying:

GRAND JUNIOR WARDEN: May the Supreme Ruler of the World (Note that this is an exact restating of Christ’s description of Satan) preserve the people in peace, and vouchsafe to them the enjoyment of every blessing.

GRAND MASTER: May the Corn of nourishment, the Wine of Refreshment, the Oil of Joy, and all the necessaries of life abound among men throughout the world, and may the blessing of Almighty God be upon this undertaking, and may this structure here to be erected be preserved to the latest ages in order that it may promote the useful purpose for which it is designed

ALL BRETHREN: So mote it be.

The words “So mote it be” may be familiar to some as a phrase used by Satanists, witches, and modern pagans. Following is an excerpt from a website explaining its usage.

Occultist Aleister Crowley used “So mote it be” in some of his writings, and claimed it to be an ancient and magical phrase, but it’s possible he borrowed it from the Masons. In Freemasonry, “So mote it be” is the equivalent of “Amen” or “As God wills it to be.” Gerald Gardner, the founder of modern Wicca, was also known to have Masonic connections, although there’s some question about whether or not he was a Master Mason as he claimed to be. Regardless, it’s no surprise that the phrase turns up in contemporary Pagan practice, considering the influence that the Masons had on both Gardner and Crowley.


In modern Wiccan traditions, the phrase often appears as a way of wrapping up a ritual or magical working. It’s basically a way of saying, “And so it shall be.”

In the book of the prophet Isaiah we find a passage where Yahweh pronounces judgment upon Babylon. Mentioned in the passage is the sorceries and dark arts of Babylon, including the various incantations and astrology. In ancient times kings consulted astrologers to determine appointed times for their various actions, for going to war, or to prophesy the outcome of some event. The stars were studied closely that their influences might bring success to the endeavors in which men and nations committed themselves. Yahweh speaks the following to those who put confidence in such things.

Isaiah 47:12-13
Stand fast now in your spells and in your many sorceries with which you have labored from your youth; Perhaps you will be able to profit, perhaps you may cause trembling. You are wearied with your many counsels; Let now the astrologers, those who prophesy by the stars, those who predict by the new moons, stand up and save you from what will come upon you.

It would surprise many people, particularly Americans, and Christians in the United States, to learn that the practices of Babylon are not extinct. In fact, they have been practiced by the founders of this nation and continue to this very hour. Those who guide the counsels of America have consulted with the stars, and no significant work has been undertaken without first doing so. The practices of Babylon have been preserved by Satan and carried forward by secret societies, foremost of which in America has been Freemasonry.

David Ovason in his insightful and exceptionally well documented book The Secret Architecture of Our Nation’s Capital has demonstrated quite convincingly that Washington, D.C. was designed as a Masonic city. Ovason is writing from the viewpoint of a man much learned in the esoteric rites and symbols of ancient mysteries. Ovason is a teacher of astrology by trade, understanding the ancient practice of casting horoscopes to determine auspicious days in which nation’s would begin new works. His understanding of arcane lore is revealed in his book.

Not surprising is the fact that Ovason is not a Christian. What did strike me as surprising was to learn that Ovason was not a Freemason when he wrote this book. However, he received such warm encouragement from some top Freemasons in America when his book was published, that he afterwards became one.

In his book on the secret architecture of Washington, D.C., Ovason explains the significance of casting a horoscope to determine the optimal time for beginning various works such as laying the cornerstone for important national buildings. Ovason writes the following:

The formal laying of a cornerstone was no new thing, even in America. It was already a ritual sanctified by Masonic tradition, a throwback to an age when it was believed that all human activities were overseen by the gods. In essence, the cornerstone ceremonial was designed not only to gain the approval of the spiritual beings, but also to ensure that these were content that the building was being brought into the world at the right time. That is one reason why it was commonplace for those designing cornerstone rituals to examine the time of the ceremonial in the light of astrology.

Although Ovason has discovered none of the horoscopes that were cast to determine the dates on which events took place in the Nation’s Capital, he has examined the dates and times and drawn up the horoscopes himself. His conclusion is that “We must assume that whoever was directing the planning of Washington, D.C… had a considerable knowledge of astrology…”

Ovason goes on to explain, “The building of the federal city began formally April 15, 1791, when a number of Masons gathered together in Alexandria. Their purpose was the enacting of a Masonic ceremonial laying of the first marker stone for the new city, which would soon be called Washington.”

The architect chosen to design the White House was James Hoban. David Ovason writes, “The date when Hoban became a Mason is not on record, but in the year following the laying of the cornerstone for the President’s House he would become Worshipful Master of Georgetown Lodge No. 9.”

On October 13, 1792, the Freemasons held a cornerstone laying ceremony for the President’s House, later to be called the White House. The following quotation from the Charleston City Gazette, November 15, 1792 provides an eyewitness account of the ceremony.

“On Saturday the 13th inst. The first stone was laid in the south-west corner of the president’s house, in the city of Washington, by the Free Masons of Georgetown and its vicinity, who assembled on the occasion. The procession was formed at the Fountain Inn, Georgetown… The ceremony was performed by brother Casaneva, master of the lodge, who delivered an oration well adapted to the occasion.”

Ovason describes the horoscope drawn up for the day the Masonic cornerstone ceremony for the President’s House was laid.

“In the arch of the skies on the day the foundation stone for the White House was laid, there was a most interesting conjunction. Shortly before noon, the moon had entered the same degree as the Dragon’s Head (a node of the moon). Both planet and node were in 23 degrees of Virgo.”

Let me take a moment to define what is meant by “a node of the moon.” The lunar nodes describe two areas in the heavens where the Moon’s orbit around the Earth intersects with the Earth’s orbit around the Sun. At least as far back as Medieval times, these points of intersection, the lunar nodes, have been called the Dragon’s Head, and the Dragon’s Tail. Following is a graphic that demonstrates this concept.

Note the direction of travel of the moon. Traveling counter clockwise from the point marked “Ascending Node” is the Dragon’s Head. From the “Descending Node” is the Dragon’s Tail. Although Virgo has great relevance for the Federal city, I want to focus on the Dragon’s Head, which is referred to by the Latin name Caput draconis. Ovason points out that the Latin Caput, meaning “head,” is the root of the English words capital, and capitol.

It is noteworthy when the President’s House is attended by a Masonic cornerstone laying ceremony at a moment when the influence of the Dragon’s Head is observed in the heavens. The Dragon’s Head’s influence is seen again the following year. On September 6, 1793, the first Federal Masonic Lodge in the nation is formed. This is Federal Lodge No. 15, and James Hoban, the architect of the White House, is appointed as Worshipful Master. Ovason writes, “One presumes that the Lodge had been formed precisely to ensure that a Federal group would attend the cornerstone ceremony (for the Capitol building), which had been widely advertised in Maryland and Columbia.”

(Note that the year 1793 is also the 18th year of American independence, 18 being 6+6+6.)

Symbol for Dragon’s Head and Tail – Nodes of the Moon

Ovason drew up a horoscope for the date on which this Federal Lodge was granted its charter. He states:

“I imagine that the petition must have been presented shortly after teatime, when the Moon was still in Virgo. That meant that the chart had three planets (Sun, Moon, and Mercury) in Virgo, along with the Dragon’s Head, the Caput draconis.”

Even as we observed that “the headquarters of the American revolution” was a building called the Green Dragon Tavern, we find that the influence of the dragon continues to have great significance in the founding of the nation’s capital city, its chief buildings, and the first Federal Lodge of Freemasonry.

The laying of the Capitol building cornerstone was a major event, widely publicized, and attended by a great crowd of people. According to Ovason and other sources, the event included the roasting of a 500 pound ox. This is reminiscent of ancient sacrifices to Baal.

I Kings 18:25
So Elijah said to the prophets of Baal, “Choose one ox for yourselves and prepare it first for you are many, and call on the name of your god…”

Once more Ovason provides insight into the horoscope cast for the date of the Capitol building dedication.

“Shortly before midday, Jupiter was rising in Scorpio (Jupiter also was rising on the day that the first marker stone was ceremonially placed in the capital city.)… In the Capitol chart, however, there is emphasis on Virgo which, with good reason, we have begun to expect in horoscopes relating to the federal city. The Sun and Mercury are in Virgo, as is the Dragon’s Head.”

Skipping forward some 55 years we arrive at the date in which the cornerstone for the Washington Monument was laid, July 4, 1848. Ovason provides the following insight.

“As I have indicated, probably one reason why the Masons chose to lay the stone in the afternoon was because they wished to allow the all-important Virgo to become operative in the chart. Shortly before lunchtime on that day, the Moon went into Virgo.


In fact, there was another Virgoan influence in this chart which might be missed by someone not familiar with the workings of astrology. The all-important Dragon’s Head in the 1848 chart is in 25 degrees of Virgo.


Remarkably, during the morning of September 18, 1793, when the Capitol building was founded, the Sun was also passing through this same degree of Virgo. This could scarcely be accidental – it must have been arranged for astrological reasons by the Masons. Both placings – and hence, both charts – point to something of profound importance.


According to medieval Arab astrologers (who excelled in star lore), this degree had a particular importance: it marked that point in the zodiac where the Moon was thought to promote the greatest happiness and well being. We must presume, then, that the intention behind the choice of moment was that this beneficial influence would be transmitted into Washington, D.C.”

Summarizing this astrological information, the Dragon’s Head is a node of the Moon. The Moon represented in the figure of the Dragon’s Head was exerting its greatest influence at precisely the moment of the cornerstone ceremonies for the Capitol and the Washington Monument. Thus the influence of the Dragon’s Head was transmitted into Washington, D.C..

Approximately fifteen years ago I first became aware of the Satanic/Masonic design of Washington, D.C. through excerpts from the book Rulers of Evil by Tupper Saussy. I came across images and commentary from his book on the Internet. Tupper Saussy demonstrated that the street plan, and locations of key buildings in the capital city were laid down with great deliberation to form occult symbols. Among these symbols are the Masonic Compass and Square.

Washington, D.C. Streets

You can see the Square and Compass, the head of the compass resting on the Capitol building. What I want to particularly focus on is the Pentagram that rests upon the White House. Following is another view of this image.

Note that the bottom point of this pentagram rests directly upon the White House. The inverted five pointed star is a symbol of Satan, often referred to as Baphomet, or the Goathead of Mendes.

Goathead of Mendes – The Devil

According to occultic/Satanic doctrine, the upper four points of the Goathead(left) represent the four elements of the world, Fire, Water, Earth, and Air. The bottom fifth point represents the spirit of Lucifer. In the above photocopy of the Goathead Pentagram, the fifth point extends down into the mind of the goat, who represents Lucifer.

The point representing the spirit of Lucifer rests directly upon the White House. Note also in this image the fly in the center of the star. One of the names for Satan is Beelzebub, which is translated “Lord of the Flies.”

Matthew 12:26-27
And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself; how shall then his kingdom stand? And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your children cast them out? therefore they shall be your judges.

Looking again at the image of the Goathead of Mendes, note that there is a candle atop the inverted star. The candle represents illumination, enlightenment, the wisdom that Lucifer the light bearer pretends to bring to mankind. What is very revelatory is that the flame of the candle when overlaid upon the map of Washington, D.C. falls directly upon the House of the Temple, the headquarters for Scottish Rite Freemasonry in the United States.

House of the Temple – Washington, D.C.

Note the flame, or sunburst on the front of this building behind the pillars. This corresponds to the flame at the top of the candle on the image of the goathead. Everywhere one turns they find the marks of Freemasonry upon the capital city of the United States. It is truly a city whose design and construction was carried forth by Freemasons under the inspiration of Satan. The Dragon’s head has found a resting spot in this city, and the government that resides there.

Ovason recounts time and again how key events in the nation’s history were coordinated with the influences of the heavens. One of the most common recurring themes in the astrological charts for significant dates in American history is the influence of Caput draconis.

“The chart for the first Continental Congress, which met at 10:00 A.M. on September 5, 1774, in Philadelphia, is outstanding for several astrological reasons. First of all, there is scarcely any equivocation about its timing or date. Secondly, the event it marks had a very distinctive consequence for the history of the United States…


The emphasis of the chart is in Virgo: no fewer than four planets and one nodal point are in the sign, with the Sun exactly upon the Dragon’s Head, in trine to Jupiter. At ten in the morning Venus was exactly upon the mid-heaven. All in all, this is a very beneficial chart.”

Satan has deceived myriads to believe that he is a bringer of good things to mankind. From his first offering of the forbidden fruit to Eve, he has masqueraded as a beneficent being, and millions continue to be deceived to this day. David Ovason speaks of the heavenly symbol of the Dragon’s Head commenting on its benefit to mankind. The Freemasons embrace the image of the dragon as their own. It has previously been observed that the HEADquarters of the American Revolution was the Masonic owned Green Dragon Tavern. Now it is revealed that the Masons perform rites under the astrological influence of the Dragon’s Head.

Satan’s masquerade as a bringer of good gifts to mankind is further observed in his guise as Prometheus, the bringer of secrets to mankind. A statue of Prometheus is on display at Rockefeller Center.

Under Prometheus is seen the Zodiac, linking once more the influence of the heavens to the success of the American nation.

In the plans to revolt against the King of England laid down by Freemasons in the Green Dragon Tavern whose upper floor served as a Lodge of Masonry; in the execution of the War of Independence by generals who were Freemasons; in the selection of a Freemason as the first President, and his oath of office being administered by the head of Freemasonry in New York State; in the Masonic street design of the capital city and its numerous official buildings; in the myriad of Masonic cornerstone laying ceremonies conducted with care under the influence of the stars and heavenly bodies, America was founded to serve a chief role in Satan’s plan to bring all the world under his dominion.

Before judging the vast number of men who have been involved at all levels of Freemasonry, decrying their blindness in joining such a wicked enterprise that is at its heart Luciferian, consider how Christianity has been deceived in embracing the idea that America is a Christian nation. There has been a great lack of discernment all around. Yet in this late hour Yahweh would have His elect to wake up and cast off all delusion.

America is in a large sense a modern incarnation of Babylon. Her leaders have continued to make offerings of corn, oil and wine to Baal. She has her court astrologers, her sorcerers, her magicians (wise ones), who plan their way according to the influence of the heavens. The end of America can be no different than that of Babylon. Read again the words of Yahweh spoken through the prophet Isaiah.

Stand fast now in your spells and in your many sorceries with which you have labored from your youth; Perhaps you will be able to profit, perhaps you may cause trembling. You are wearied with your many counsels; Let now the astrologers, those who prophesy by the stars, those who predict by the new moons, stand up and save you from what will come upon you.
