Now, if you have $1 bill handy (not sure if that is possible with current gas prices) you may want to refer to it while I point out some of its many Masonic/Alchemic symbols. On the reverse side of the dollar bill, you will find the Great Seal of the United states, an eagle clutching an olive branch in its right claws, a bunch of arrows in its left. If you count them, there are 13 of each, as well as 13 stars in the symbol above the eagle's head. Though many claim the recurrence of 13 represents the original 13 American colonies, it is interesting to note that 13 is a number highly significant to both Masons and alchemists. Denominations of 13 appear several other times on the dollar bill (13 times on the back of the dollar bill, in fact), including in the image of the reverse side of the Great Seal - there are 13 layers of the pyramid beneath the eye capstone. Even more compelling, if you take the triangle shape of the pyramid, turn it upside down and superimpose it on the pyramid (you can do this with a pen or pencil), it forms a six-sided star, the recognizable Star of David symbol (Jewish cabbalism is tied closely with alchemy). Now, look at the letters adjacent to each point (excluding the pyramid cap part) of the star. They spell the word "mason". Coincidence? I don't think so. Now, on the front of the bill, in the upper right corner - this will take a magnifying glass - you may notice waht appears to be an owl perched on the concave part of the upper left corner of the crest. Owls traditionally represent vigilance and hidden knowledge. Last but not least, the phrase "In God We Trust" is in fact a masonic motto.
Even with all the cryptic symbols and occultic secrets, this still seems innocuous enough, right? Perhaps. But it must be noted that some historical accounts link the Masonic forerunners, the Knights Templar, to worshiping a severed head representative of Baphomet (possibly a horned demon or Satan himself). This may merely be anti-Templar propaganda of the time, but it is interesting that the number 13 is also associated with Baphomet. Another symbol for Baphomet, the skull and bones, is a mutual symbol for Yale's infamous "Order of Death" secret society. However, this could be coincidence, as the skull and bones is a common, archetypal symbol. One thing that is highly curious, is the striking similarity between the pose of a popular illustration of Baphomet and a statue of George Washington [see video example].
One other satanic/alchemical connection to all of this, is a subplot found in [Johann] Wolfgang von Goethe's classic "Faust". In the story, the Devil gains the favor of the king by revealing to him the alchemical secret of the "Philospher's Stone". The secret? How to control the masses by making them believe in the illusion of printed paper money.
