THC 75: Robert Sullivan | The Secrets of Masonic Ritual, Philosophy, & Symbolism
Hermetic Maxims and Washington DC Architecture
Sullivan details the Masonic lore of Hermes Trismegistus and Pythagoras, who reportedly restored the pillars of knowledge inscribed by Enoch. The Hermetic maxim "as above, so below" influenced the alignment of important buildings to astral configurations. This philosophy was carried forward by figures like Raymond Lully and Giordano Bruno, who viewed architecture as a means to preserve sacred astral wisdom.
