I wonder if their is # a book just on Magick Squares? there are several. one of them is by W.S. Andrews ("Magic Squares and Cubes") and is a classic. I've enjoyed reading through these and examining the more complex and astounding selections than were made for Agrippa and the Golden Dawn symbols. # Do every planet has a Magick Square? that depends on what tradition you follow. older systems don't include all the Planets because the ancients couldn't see Uranus, Neptune and Pluto, for example. I'm not sure before Agrippa, but in Agrippa they are attributed to Planets as follows SQUARE ORDER --- PLANET ------------------------- 3 --- SATURN 4 --- JUPITER 5 --- MARS 6 --- SUN 7 --- VENUS 8 --- MERCURY 9 --- MOON with consideration of modern occult Planets one might extrapolate the following novelty: 3 --- PLUTO 4 --- NEPTUNE 5 --- URANUS 6 --- SATURN 7 --- JUPITER 8 --- MARS 9 --- SUN 10 --- VENUS 11 --- MERCURY 12 --- MOON based on the mean motility from Terra, and thereafter achieve natural resonance. alternatively an astronomical sequence might be preferrable (or its reverse): ASTRONOMICAL EXPERIMENTAL ------------------------------------------------- 3 --- PLUTO SUN 4 --- NEPTUNE MERCURY 5 --- URANUS VENUS (GODDESS PENTACLE!) 6 --- SATURN EARTH 7 --- JUPITER MOON 8 --- MARS MARS 9 --- MOON JUPITER 10 --- EARTH SATURN (CYCLE COMPLETION) 11 --- VENUS URANUS 12 --- MERCURY NEPTUNE 13 --- SUN PLUTO # And can one simply create a unique Magick Square # by playing around with math & graphs? yes, there are techniques for constructing them, families, first divided up in even/odd groups and thence distributed depending on method of construct. y r B o l b n e e w s a o s s d e t e d ! .com@nagasiva Seyfert-1
