The three tarot statues of the Princes of Masonry

Readers of this blog know my home country's capital, Helsinki, is full of public statues with hidden in pain sight tarot symbolism. It's not only that these statues are covered with specific symbolism, it's also how these statues are located, and how they form patterns on the map.

As mentioned in previous post, the statue of Marshal Mannerheim is exactly 1000 meters from the statue called The Law. The former represents tarot card Chariot and the Moon, the latter card Strength and the Sun. (Details on post Equestrian statue of Marshal Mannerheim)

Interesting addition to this fact is another tarot statue called Elias Lönnrot memorial, which represents tarot card The Devil ruled by Saturn. Just like the statue of Mannerheim, Lönnrot memorial is also exactly 1000 meters from the statue called The Law. If that's a coincidence, it's a hell of a coincidence.

But the "coincidences" are not over yet. You can see the masonic fingerprints, if you calculate the angle these three statues form. With a very small margin of error, they form an angle of 32 degrees on "the corner of the Sun":

As stated before, in masonry the numbers 32 and 33 represent "the Princes of Masonry" - the top of the top of Freemasonry.

And finally, the last detail to make it absolutely clear we are looking at the works of Freemasons. These three statues represent the tarot cards ruled by the celestial bodies of the Moon, the Sun, and Saturn - also known as Is-Ra-El.

Engagement

A sculpture called Engagement in Helsinki, Finland, continues the pattern of masonic and tarot symbolism hidden in plain sight all over the city. Designed by Dennis Oppenheim, the esoteric themes are not only in the details of the sculpture, but also in the location.

Helsinki art museum introduction:

Dennis Oppenheim's Engagement comprises two diamond rings attached to each other. The rings are painted steel and the house-like diamonds are made of acrylic plates and have an electric light inside. The rings symbolize marriage while the houses symbolize the home and family. The dynamics of marriage requires that a balance be struck between two people with different backgrounds. Also, every union includes the possibility of a break up. In Oppenheim's piece, this dynamic arises from the small distance separating the rings, which lean away from each other.

Dennis Oppenheim is an American avant-gardist whose career began in the 1960s. He is known especially for his Land Art and performances, but his work includes installations and sculpture, many of which can be seen in public locations. Works from his Engagement series have also been temporarily shown in New York and Leoben in Austria. The Helsinki City Art Museum acquired Engagement in 1998. Nine metres high piece was erected in the central square in Ruoholahti by the canal and unveiled in the artist's presence on October 10, 2000. Ruoholahti is a new housing district near the city centre, built in the 1990s in a former industrial zone.

Isn't it funny how the tops of the "diamond-houses" look like the masonic pyramid?

Although the sculpture has this masonic motif, the main theme of the hidden in plain sight symbolism is once again about tarot.

The exoteric symbolism is obviously about marriage. This is a little hint for the esoteric level of the symbolism. Another hint is in the positioning of the rings. If you look at it from a certain angle, it resembles a pair of horns.

Marriage and horns, what have you got?

In tarot, the card of marriage is The Devil. The ruler of the card is Capricorn, the sign of Saturn. Horns and rings, get it?

The location of the sculpture is carefully selected. There are two other Devil sculptures in Helsinki, Elias Lönnrot memorial and Work (one of the four pedestal statues of the Statue of Alexander II). On map, these three sculptures are exactly on the same straight line.
