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 an
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...”
