Intro

Magic Squares and Sigils

  • Magic Squares and Sigils (The Magician's Companion: A Practical and Encyclopedic Guide to Magical and Religious Symbolism)
    • Seals
      • Each planet can be represented by a seal or diagram. The seal is based off of the planet's magic square, with the seal touching every number within the square at least once.
    • Sigils of the Intelligences
      • Each planet has traditionally possessed both a spirit and an intelligence: ethereal souls responsible for the baleful and beneficial influences (respectively) of the individual planet. Here are the common sigils for the planetary intelligences.
    • Sigils of The Spirits
      • Each planet has traditionally possessed both a spirit and an intelligence: ethereal souls responsible for the baleful and beneficial influences (respectively) of the individual planet. Here are the common sigils for the planetary spirits.

  • The most famous 4 x 4 magic square is the so-called Melancholia magic square. In 1514, Albrecht Dürer used the square in his engraving Melancholie which depicts the indecision of the intellectual. The two numbers, 15 and 14, in the centre of the bottom row date the engraving. [2]

  • Double Six Magic Square - Jill Britton. Buried in the foundation of a house to dispel evil spirits, the Double Six Magic Square at the Shaanxi History Museum contains six numbers in length and breadth, the numbers in vertical, horizontal and diagonal lines add up to 111, respectively. [3]

  • “Sigilla Solis” or “Sun Seal” This amulet has the god of the sun standing on the lion. This indicated the sun's position in the constellation of Leo during the hot days of August. The back is inscribed “Nachyel,” meaning “intelligence of the sun” and the numbers 1 to 36. These numbers are arranged in such a way that the sum of any given row, column or diagonal is 111, and therefore the sum of all six rows or all six columns is 666.

  • This illustration is also a solar seal, but it honors the star Basilisco, which was the diminutive form of the Greek Basileus (king), thus meaning the same as the Latin regulus. Regulus is the only first magnitude star in the constellation of Leo. The sun and the moon are again clearly seen on this amulet and on the reverse side is the same arrangement of numerals with the actual figure 666 given as the total.

  • One of the highlights of the Masonic Temple Room in Washington is the skylight (6 by 6 matrix) flooding the room with light. [4]

  • A Franklin magic square has constant row and column sums, and while it may lack the diagonal properties (and usually does), it possesses other magical patterns instead. For example, if you join half of one diagonal to half of the other (see gray squares in the figure at right), you obtain what Ben called a "bent row". Its entries sum to 260, the same as a row or column sum in that figure. [5]
