Freemasonry as a thing is possible. Freemason lodge didn’t start until 1717 in England. Not sure if Knights Templar were involved in St. Augustine or Roanoke. It could be that a hint in each verse points to a Freemason.
Chicago casque, Roosevelt ( a Freemason) university Boston, Paul Revere, , ( a Freemason) San Francisco, Mark Twain, (a Freemason) Houston, Sam Houston, ( a Freemason) New Orleans, Andrew Jackson , ( a Freemason) if the casque is in Jackson park Louis Armstrong , ( claimed to be a Freemason) Montreal/ Quebec City, John A McDonald, ( a Freemason ) Joan of Arc was a religious crusader and the Knights Templar adopted her as a symbolic figure NewYork, George Gershwin, , ( a Freemason)
I’m sure one might be able to ascribe other Freemasons like George Washington or JFK to one of the verse lines, so the Freemason idea may play a part but I don’t think it is required to solve the puzzles.

The Principle of Correspondence. "As above, so below; as below, so above". This Principle embodies the truth that there is always a Correspondence between the laws and phenomena of the various planes of Being and Life. Looking at the creature image, this concept seems to fit pretty well. The divine 'eye' watches over from above, the layers of treasure, and ship below.

Maybe , but is it going to get you closer to the casque? ”As above so below” as it might apply to Houston. The Miller hill is a Sandy hill ? Above or North of the dig site , so dig in the sand in the corner by the drinking fountain south of Miller theatre hill.

I like to think of it as putting on 3D goggles, when pouring over the paintings and verses, something that was previously meaningless, will pop out with new meaning. So this won't directly get us closer, but hopefully will give new context to some clue and get us closer indirectly.

As above, so below; freemasons use of stars and celestial bodies to lay out structures. Above: Moon, camel, rhino (not rhino). Hints to a park.

When doing a portrait a lot of old world masters would place an eye at the vertical central line of a painting.

Interesting, I didn't know that... It's also called the reptilian eye iirc

using the golden ratio was also a tool used by the world masters. I think some of the paintings appear to have used it, exp NYC. There is a connection between the golden ratio, and the golden triangle, eg. the one used on the back of the dollar bill.

Look up Dare County Shrine Club and it's original location. That Tinman is sure doing a nice "Ballance"ing act! BTW the four bumps in the middle of mace is G in Braille! That's what you get thinking outside the box. lol

Good observations! The mace hand appears to have a hinge which would release the key...(by authority of 'god') And the 3 items on the right line up in the shadow of the pyramid, clock, bubble, spoon. Thinking of the nudge clue, eg painting in motion, I think these object will need to move.

I like the theory that the scarecrow is holding a kite string, and keys, ala Benjamin Franklin (also a Freemason), and the +/- symbols are representing polarity of circuitry, the scarecrow is made of copper, eg conductivity. If something moves in the correct order in the painting, it will result in a clue to be unlocked, or 'lit up' ... more out of box conjecture
