Weaving the Fabrics of Reality
An Exposition on Magic Squares throughout Various Cultures and Systems of Magic.
Magic Squares, Awfaq, Luoshu,
The Magic Square is the most crucial piece of a Magicians "Toolbox", and yet the Practitioners of the West tend to avoid its use. Humbly, I believe it is because of the Ignorance and Arrogance that is seeded deep within most "Modern Practitioners"- as it has been for many years. (Islamophobia is another point but that is a whole other topic of discussion I am not willing to touch at this current moment.)
Magic Squares are made up of Triangulations & Rotations within the Confines or Fabric of the Graph. Each Graph has the same amount of rotations as it has Columns. For Example, a 4x4 is as it sounds; 4 Cells by 4 Cells; 4 Columns by 4 Columns, etc. So it has 4 Rotations.
Now, you can't just shove numbers within a Square for it to work, there is a specific Formula unique to each Magic Square; I call it the Formulae of Perfection.
For the sake of demonstration we will be using the 4x4.
There are 16 Cells in a 4x4, all 4 Cells in each of the 4 Columns must add up to the same number. In this demonstration we will be creating a 4x4 from the Arabic word "ازدهار".
It roughly translates to "Flourish". Given that the 4x4 ties to Jupiter its only natural to aim for a prosperous energy. the Gematria of ازدهار is 218.
The Formulae of Perfection for this Square is 218 - 30 ÷ 4 = 47.
Now we have the Base Number/Magic Number also called the Key. It is the First number in the Sequence and the First Cell of the First Rotation.
Each Rotation and Triangulation consists of 4 Cells, the last cell is the most important but I will leave that for another blog. The Rotations and Triangulations go as follows;
First Rotation.
Second Rotation.
Third Rotation.
Fourth Rotation.
All Rotations Combined.
The Square should look like this by the time you're finished;
There are many ways you can utilize the Magic Squares; into which I will delve a bit more before we close off this blog.
Magic Squares are most typically used in combination with Letter and Candle Magic; However, that is just the tip of the Iceberg. There is an infinite amount of use cases surrounding this Tool.
Candle Magic involves adorning a candle with various scents, oils, plants, power items, and carving the Magic Square into the candle itself. There is also the option of setting up a crystal grid around the square with the candle at the center.
Letter Magic is where it gets a little more complicated to elaborate on without the recipient (you) having prior knowledge of the Inner Arcanum of the Arabic Script; but I will try my best.
Letter Magic, put simply, is the esoteric use of Alphabets or Scripts from various languages based on the understanding of the "Soul" of the Letters as well as their physical, mathematical, and all-encompassing state of being. Repeating Letter Sequences you will see in most Grimoires will consist mostly of Alif (ا), Meem (م), and Ghain (غ); as they hold very prosperous energies.
