The Masonic Symbolism of the U.S. Capitol
By VigilantCitizen.com
The US Capitol is not simply another governmental building. It is the spiritual center of the
United States. Its structure, its art and its symbols all reveal the great importance
of secret Fraternities in the shaping of the world most powerful government. We�ll explore
the Capitol and discover the features that make this building a Masonic site, an American
Temple of Solomon.
The Capitol is viewed by the average American as the seat of democracy, where big political
decisions are taken. Very few recognize the spiritual elements of the architecture and
the symbolism of the building which literally makes it a temple of Masonic mysteries. At
the center of it all is George Washington, a 33rd degree Freemason being anointed as
the �American Christ�. The building of the Capitol involved many notions unknown
to the common man yet the builders seemed to give great importance to them: alignment
with heavenly bodies, importance of ley lines, occult numerology, spiritual energy, etc.
Those things might sound like �crazy New Age stuff� to the average Joe not to the
Founding Fathers who attributed great importance the them. Here�s a look at the meaning of
the Capitol.
Built by Freemasonry
The Capitol, like all Washington DC, has been almost entirely designed by Freemasons and
integrates within its architecture and artwork the �keys to the Craft�.
The United States Capitol, at Washington, D.C., was the creation of a succession of
architects who were almost all Freemasons. Originally designed by William Thornton (1759-1828),
the work was completed by Brother Benjamin Latrobe (a pupil of the English architect
Samuel Pepys Cockerell, 1754-1827) who also redesigned it after the War of 1812. The flanking
wings and the great dome were added later by Brother Thomas Ustick Walter.

GWCornerstone The laying of the cornerstone by Washington
in full Masonic attire The cornerstone of the U.S. Capitol Building
was laid with Masonic Honors on September 18, 1793 under the auspices of the Grand Lodge
of Maryland. At the ceremony, President George Washington presided. Worshipful Brother Washington
was assisted by R.W. Bro. Joseph Clarke, Grand Master pro. tem. of Maryland, Wor. Elisha
C. Dick, Master of Alexandria Lodge No. 22 of Virginia (Washington�s home Lodge) and
Wor. Valentine Reintzel, Master of Lodge No. 9 of Maryland (now Potomac Lodge No. 5 of
the District of Colombia). -Ibid.

Geographical Layout
The Capitol facing the Washington Monument Washington DC was carefully laid out in accordance
to ancient occult principles. The Capitol is a vital part of the design by its location
and its shape. The Capitol�s most important feature is of course its massive dome which
carries heavy symbolic meaning, as we�ll see later. This dome faces the Washington
Monument, the 555.5 foot tall (6666 inches) replica of an Egyptian obelisk. This layout
is strikingly similar to St.Peter�s Square in the Vatican, where an obelisk faces a giant
dome.
St.Peter Square, Vatican. An obelisk facing a dome.
The same layout can also be found in Paris, Astana and many other cities. There is no
coincidence here: this layout carries an important alchemical meaning. In almost all cultures
the dome has been associated with the female principle, the womb, the matrix. Opposed to
it is the obelisk, the ancient Egyptian phallic symbol representing the male principle. The
union of those two principles gives birth to a third entity, an offspring, that can
be described as �spiritual energy�. Whether this energy is symbolic or a palpable reality
is something that I�m not (yet) qualified to advance on. Many theories claim that shapes
such as pyramids, domes and arches can either store, extract or diffuse energy from their
surrounding area but I�ll leave this analysis to someone else. The theme of the union of
male and female principles is very common in occult architecture and is surely the most
easily recognizable.
Let�s look at the Capitol. Imagine a straight line starting at the tip of the Capitol�s
dome and going down, right to the crypt. This is how we�ll explore the Capitol.
Freedom Statue
Standing at top of the dome of the Capitol is the enigmatic Statue of Freedom standing
on a spherical shape, which probably represent Earth. Around this globe is the saying �E
Pluribus Unum� (Out of Many, One).
She is a female allegorical figure whose right hand holds the hilt of a sheathed sword while
a laurel wreath of victory and the Shield of the United States are clasped in her left
hand. The heraldic shield is the same as in the Great Seal of the United States, with
thirteen stripes, except that the chief has stars (again, thirteen). Her chiton is secured
by a brooch inscribed �U.S.� and is partially covered by a heavy, Indian-style fringed blanket
thrown over her left shoulder. She symbolically faces east towards the main entrance of the
building which means that incidentally, the sun never sets on Freedom.
So who is this Goddess standing on top of America�s most important building and overlooking
the state Capital? She�s certainly not the Virgin Mary (you�d be surprised at the number
of people who think that) and she cannot be positively associated with any ancient goddess.
Truth is, the district bears her name. D.C. = District of Columbia. She is the allegorical
goddess of America, the typically American mythological figure, Columbia.

The Dome
The dome of the Capitol features in its occulus an incredibly significant painting that reveals
the philosophical, spiritual and political aims of the Founding Fathers. Rare are the
writers have discussed the gnostic, alchemical and esoteric meaning of this work, yet it
has been visited by millions of tourists. The interesting book �Freedom�s Gate�
written by William Henry and Mark Gray is the only work I�ve found analyzing the mystical
meaning of this painting called �The Apotheosis�.
�The Apotheosis� is the work of Constantino Brumidi, an Italian artist who became famous
for his paintings commissioned by the Vatican and Pope Pius IX. In 1848, an attempt to overthrow
papal power in the Vatican was led by Freemason Giuseppe Mazzini, which lead to a period of
chaos and the fleeing of the Pope. The revolution wasn�t however successful and papal power
was restored by a European coalition. Surprisingly, Brumidi was arrested in and found guilty of
leading one of Mazzini�s revolutionary groups to overthrow the Vatican. He served some of
his sentence in prisons but was later permitted to leave Italy for the USA under the condition
that he would never come back. He then made a name for himself in the USA by working for
occult fraternities such as the Jesuits and such. Burmidi�s story is in perfect accordance
with the Capitol�s status as the �Anti-Vatican� or the mirror, Mystery Religion opposite of
the Vatican. Let�s look at Brumidi�s magnum opus, the Apotheosis.
An apotheosis can be defined as the exaltation of a subject to divine level. In other words,
this painting depicts the elevation of George Washington to a god-man status, like Jesus
Christ. He is shown seated on a rainbow and behind him is the gateway, the vortex, the
sungate to the heavens (the spirit world). As stated above, the dome esoterically represents
the womb giver of life. Washington is about to exit the womb of the dome to experience
rebirth as an immortal god. William Henry has appropriately noted that Jesus Christ�s
divinity was portrayed in a similar way in ancient religious art.
