Occult Symbolism in Art & Architecture
Discernment Required - Adults/Mature TeensSymbols are a language - an ancient language that communicates across time and cultures without words. Those who understand symbols can read messages hidden in plain sight.
Occult practitioners have stated: "Symbols rule the world, not words nor laws." Those in power use symbols to:
This study will help you recognize these symbols in art, architecture, and everyday life - so you can understand the spiritual battle around us and protect your family.
Most occult symbols originate from ancient Babylon, Egypt, and pagan religions. They have been preserved and passed down through secret societies.
Origin: Ancient Egypt
Meaning: Phallic symbol representing the male generative power. Associated with Osiris worship and sun worship.
Where You'll Find Them: Washington Monument, Vatican Square, London (Cleopatra's Needle), Paris (Luxor Obelisk), countless cities worldwide
Why It Matters: The placement of obelisks in major capitals is not coincidental - it marks these places with ancient pagan religious significance.
Origin: Eye of Horus (Egypt), Eye of Providence
Meaning: Represents omniscience - specifically the "illuminated" consciousness apart from Yahuah. Associated with Lucifer's promise "ye shall be as gods."
Where You'll Find It: US dollar bill, countless corporate logos, government buildings, entertainment
Origin: Egypt
Meaning: Hierarchical structure with hidden capstone. Represents the elite ruling over masses, with the "illuminated" at top.
Key Point: The unfinished pyramid on the dollar bill with the floating eye represents the goal of "completing the work" - establishing the New World Order.
Biblical Context: Satan appeared as a serpent in Eden
Occult Meaning: "Wisdom," enlightenment, kundalini energy, eternal life apart from Yahuah
Note: Many ancient cultures worshipped serpent deities. The serpent represents Satan's false promise of wisdom through disobedience.
Forms: Sun disks, halos, starbursts, solar wheels
Meaning: Worship of the sun god (Baal, Ra, Apollo, etc.) rather than the Creator who made the sun
Where Found: Numerous religious buildings, government architecture, corporate logos
Freemasonry has encoded its symbols into buildings worldwide, particularly government structures, courthouses, and even churches.
The primary symbol of Freemasonry. Represents the joining of heaven (compass/spiritual) and earth (square/material). Often includes the letter "G" (Geometry, God, or Generative principle).
Black and white tiles represent duality: good/evil, light/dark, as above/so below. This Masonic flooring appears in countless buildings, courtrooms, and entertainment.
Named after the pillars at Solomon's Temple, but given esoteric meaning. Represent duality, gateway/portal, and the path to "enlightenment."
Five-pointed star (pentagram), sometimes six-pointed. Represents Sirius, the "dog star," associated with Isis and occult knowledge.
Occultists place great significance on numbers:
Watch for these numbers in building heights, addresses, and measurements.
The capital of the United States was designed by Freemasons with extensive occult symbolism built into its very layout.
When viewed from above, the streets of D.C. form several occult symbols:
This 555-foot obelisk (6,660 inches) is the world's tallest stone structure and obelisk. It represents Egyptian/Babylonian religion at the heart of American government.
The dome represents the womb of Isis. The painting inside the dome, "The Apotheosis of Washington," literally depicts George Washington becoming a god - surrounded by pagan deities.
Designed to resemble a Greek temple. Lincoln sits in the position of Zeus/Jupiter. His hands form specific gestures used in occult contexts.
Contains numerous occult symbols: pyramid, all-seeing eye, tortoise shells (longevity, secret knowledge), and more.
The founding of America involved both godly men seeking religious freedom AND occultists embedding their symbols into the nation's foundation. We must acknowledge this dual heritage while seeking Yahuah's purposes.
The Vatican is filled with symbols that reveal its true spiritual allegiance - and it's not what most Catholics believe.
Designed as a keyhole shape - but also represents the female womb, with the obelisk (male symbol) in the center. The fountain circles represent the fallopian tubes. This is ancient fertility religion.
An authentic Egyptian obelisk originally from Heliopolis (city of sun worship). It was brought to Rome by Emperor Caligula and placed in St. Peter's Square by Pope Sixtus V in 1586. No Christian crosses were added to it for centuries.
Built in 1971, this building is shaped like a serpent's head both inside and out. The stage features a disturbing sculpture called "The Resurrection" that depicts a nuclear wasteland with a figure rising from chaos - many see it as depicting Christ emerging from a nuclear explosion or something far darker.
A massive bronze pine cone sits in the Vatican courtyard. The pine cone represents the pineal gland (third eye) - the supposed gateway to spiritual "enlightenment" in occult traditions.
The Catholic monstrance (which holds the Eucharist) is designed with sun rays emanating outward - identical to ancient sun worship artifacts. The "IHS" in the center is claimed to mean "Iesus Hominum Salvator" but also represents Isis, Horus, Set - the Egyptian trinity.
Major corporations display occult symbols in their logos, often hiding in plain sight:

Much of "modern art" has hidden origins and purposes that most people don't know about.
Declassified documents reveal that the CIA secretly funded and promoted Abstract Expressionism during the Cold War (Operation Long Leash). They saw chaotic, meaningless art as a weapon against traditional values and Communist realism.
The art world's embrace of the ugly, disturbing, and meaningless was not organic - it was engineered.
Many famous modern artists openly admitted to channeling spirits or entering altered states to create their work:
This is not inspiration - it is divination, forbidden by Scripture.
Sadly, many church buildings contain symbols that originated in paganism, not Scripture.
Church steeples are miniature obelisks - the same phallic sun-worship symbol. There is no biblical basis for this architectural feature. It entered Christianity through pagan influence.
While used by Christians to remember Yahusha's sacrifice, the cross symbol (✝) predates Christianity and was used in pagan worship (Tammuz, ankh). The early believers focused on the RESURRECTION, not the cross as an object of veneration.
Halos around "saints" and "Jesus" in art come from sun worship, not Scripture. They represent the sun disk of pagan sun gods.
Many old church buildings feature demonic-looking gargoyles. The explanation that they "scare away evil spirits" is itself rooted in pagan superstition.
This doesn't mean all church buildings are evil or that believers who meet in them are wrong. But we should be aware of how paganism infiltrated Christianity and be willing to examine traditions against Scripture.
Yahusha can be genuinely worshipped anywhere. But symbols DO carry meaning, and we should know what meanings surround us.
Knowledge of enemy tactics is valuable, but don't become so focused on darkness that you forget to walk in the light. Our primary focus should always be Yahuah, not Satan.
Look at the symbols in your home, clothing, decorations. Remove anything that represents false worship or the occult. This includes:
Help them recognize symbols so they are not deceived. Use age-appropriate explanations. The goal is awareness, not fear.
Pray for eyes to see and ears to hear. Pray for protection from deception. Pray for the exposure of hidden works of darkness.
Greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world (1 John 4:4). These symbols have power only for those who worship them or unknowingly partner with them. You belong to Yahuah!
We are surrounded by a language we were never taught to read. The elite communicate through symbols while the masses remain unaware. But now you have begun to see.
This knowledge should:
The deception is vast. But our Elohim is greater!
