Occult Encyclopedia of Magic Squares: Planetary Angels and Spirits of Ceremonial Magic - Shadrach N. 2009

PREFACE

OU ou are probably wondering what you could possibly do with a book ’ that consists of hundreds of magic squares. How would you use such /JL', knowledge in your life today to bring about tangible benefits? The short answer is to use them like private phone calling cards to attract immense spiritual power into your life. What this book will give you that no other English book has given you before is the precise numbers to dial.

Let me explain ...

As far as secular science is concerned, magic squares are nothing more than mathematical curiosity. They just are with no deeper meaning or cosmic aim. They are patterns that occur and serve no purpose besides stimulating our minds with their simplicity and ingenuity. Kind of like an ancient form ofSudoku.

Those who adhere to an esoteric belief system rooted in antiquity believe otherwise. Ancient sages influenced by the teachings of the like of Pythagoras of Samos believed that numbers and geometry hold within them the keys to nature. They are expressions of a Divine mind, a Universal Architect or Geometer. Numbers contain deep mystical meanings and powers that we can awaken and reawaken. In this cosmic view, magic squares are numerical illustrations of deep cosmic principles.They are magnets to spiritual forces.

You will find magic squares part of any serious book on talismanic magic dating back centuries. Most of those books will give you the same patterned squares and often no more than seven.

There is only one problem with this. If that is all you have, then you have a phone without a number to dial. The basic patterns are powerfol in their own right, but using them is more like dialing an operator without having a party in mind.

This is what makes this book so unique. You now have specific numbers and extensions to enable you to connect with more than one hundred and sixty distinct spiritual beings that rule over the astrological tides. By using these magic squares in magical rituals, you can enlist the aid of these beings to help you along your spiritual evolution. For example:

• • You do not have to be at the mercy of bad communications when Me^^cy goes retrograde.This could mean the difference between keephig your job and losing it.

• • You can overcome difficulties in finding stable relationships due to affiictions of Saturn in the seventh house.

• • You can improve your own intuitive connections or even strengthen any latent psychic powers.

• • Your strengthened spiritual connections with angelic beings will guide you and open you to higher states of spiritual well being and inner peace.

I do not expect you to take my word for it.Just consider this: lfl am right, can we agree on the tremendous potential available? I hope so. I hope you benefit from this gift and it becomes a valuable asset in your spiritual kit.

I have a confession to make before we go on.

I did not set out to write this book as a practical workbook filed with magical formulas. I know there is a drought ofbooks on the practical applications of magic squares. I intend for the practical magic aspect to be a book in its own right.

What I did set out to do in this series, was to create a sourcebook for practitioners of the sacred magical arts, kabbalists, Hermetics and scholars of the mysteries. What you are holding in your hands is an occult encyclopedia in the true sense. It contains exhaustive magic square listings flled with all the association, aspects, correspondence you may need in your cosmic connections.

In this first volume, I have focused on the angels and spirits of the planets and Zodiacal signs.I amfamiliar with more thanone classicalsystem ofcorrespondences. For this book, I have chosen to use the one familiar to the students of the Golden Dawn system and its offshoots, due to its widespread familiarity in modern occult circles. I hope to provide the same treatment for classical systems rooted in Arabic and Hebrew grimoires in the next volumes.

Enjoy...

QUICK GUIDE TO MAGIC SQUARES

amea is the word most commonly used in Western occult circles to refer to magic squares. It Is a Hebrew word, which means talisman or amulet. The Arabic word used to describe magic squares is al-Wifeq, which

carries a similar meaning.

The typical magic square consists of a grid that forms at minimum three columns and three rows for a total of nine cell squares. The values in those cell squares, if added vertically, horizontally, or diagonally, must match for it to be a correct magic square.

There are four main types of magic squares:

• • N umerical: consists only of a sequence of numbers

• • Alphabetical Numerical: consists of digits represented by

their equivalent letters

• • Alphabetical: consists only of letters and of different type than

alphabetical numerical

• • Alphanumerical: combines both numbers and letters.

Each of the aforementioned variations of magic squares has its own application in magic. Numbers are to letters as souls are to bodies. Numerical and alphabetical numerical magic squares are effective for evoking the corresponding force in the material world. Numerical, alphabetical, and alphanumerical squares are very usefol when working with angelic or celestial beings. We wwil be focusing on the numerical, alphabetical, and alphanumerical squares in this ^wk, since we are working with angelic and spiritual forces.

Here is an example of both basic numerical and alphabetical numerical magic squares:

Occult €ncydopedia of Q)agk Squares

In this example, the Hebrew letters on the right have the same numerological values as their corresponding cell squares on the left. By addition of numbers, you can see that each column, row, • and diagonal direction adds up to ffteen.

The same is true if we replace the letters with their corresponding numerological range values. In the Hebrew alphabet, the frst letter or Aleph (M) has the value of one, as it is the first letter of the alphabet just like one is the first number. The second letter has value of two and so forth. Once you reach the eleventh letter, the values progress in units of ten and then hundreds. The first nine letters of the Hebrew alphabet correspond to the nine numerical digits.

General and Specific Squares

Imagine for a moment that you have managed to gain entry into one of the established occult lodges in the West. You are sitting across from a figure with the tide of an adept. You go on politely about wanting to create a talisman for the intelligence of Saturn, Agial, and searching for a magic square most suited for the job.

I am betting you will end up with the following square as that adept's recommendation:

You ask again about the proper square to use for the spirit of Saturn, Arathron.

I would bet on the following square as the. answer that you would receive:

You wwil most likely get the same answer repeatedly, as long as you keep asking about anything remotely associated with Saturn. Many modem Western mystery schools provide their initiates with only seven squares. These are widely familiar due to their association with the seven classical planets used in occultism.

Now, let us take a trip back in a time machine and sit down with a classical wizard of the ancient world. You ask politely about the creation of a talisman for the intelligence of Saturn, Agial.

I believe you would get the following square as being most suited for the job:

Quick Guide Co Q)agk Squares

You ask again about the proper square to use for the spirit of Saturn, Arathron.

I would bet on the following square as the answer that you would receive:

You might notice a few things right away, so my apologies if I am pointing out the obvious. You will see that both squares are 3 by 3 in size and that both squares follow the traditional pattern presented earlier in this chapter. O!tick math will show that the frst square the classical magician presented would add up to the value 45, which happens to be the numerological value of the word Agial. The second square the ancient adept presented adds to the value 858, which is the numerological value of Arathron.

The general pattern squares familiar to modern occultists are raw plates. They are primordial in form. They are something you would want to use when working the essence of the planets and their corresponding spiritual forces. You need to make that square very specific when you want to work with specific spiritual beings or have a specific purpose in mind or would like to channel this energy to a particular person.

I find it disheartening that very few modern magicians seem cognizant of this classical principle of the art. Think of the general pattern square as the area code of a country. You get hold of an operator when you use it. You wwil still need to know the actual number you are dialing or make the effort to ask the operator to connect you. For hundreds of years people in the West have kept dialing the area code, while their Near Eastern colleagues dialed individual numbers.

Most modern magicians would argue for the effectiveness of their approach, because general patterns are raw magnets. They are also relying heavily on either the power of belief or their own personal energy to charge the square. That may be so, but imagine if that raw force was laser-focused. Imagine how stronger your belief becomes when it is specific versus being general in nature.

All the squares provided to you in this book are specific in nature. This will save you a tremendous amount of time in calculating ones you may need for your occult working.

Planetary Magic Squares

It is stated in the Emerald Tablet of Hermes that things found in the above and things found in the below are parallel. The author of this sublime piece of Hermetic literature was hinting at astrology. The astral plane of the ancients is the realm of the planets and stars. It is the Mazloth of the Kabbalah or the heavenly sphere of the Zodiac. The Emerald Tablet is one of the oldest documents outlining the ancient belief in astrological correspondence.

The most basic of all astrological correspondences are those between the planets and the geometrical shapes and numbers. For example, I mentioned earlier how the magic square of 3 by 3 corresponds to Saturn in modern and classical occult teachings. Saturn corresponds to the third emanation in the cosmic diagram used in the Kabbalah known as the Tree of Life. It is the first planet used in the ancient Near Eastern order that originated in Babylon. The three by three square is the first magic square.

Today, modem astrologers recognize the newly discovered planets. This has lied modem occult thinker’s to extend their associations of magic squares to new planets. Initially, it seems to make sense since Western occultism primarily fo>cuj;e^s on only seven magic squares. This leaves many larger squares available for new associations. In actuality, these squares are not free of associations, as the ancients simply restarted the cycle. Applying them to different planets would require a re-evaluation of classical thinking. Here is a brief list of associations between the planets and some of the larger squares:

In this table, I stopped at 100 x 100, but I could go on indefinitely. You ^wil fnd that, based on this system of association, a 49 x 49 square co^^ponds with Venus, as it should. You will also find that the ultimate magic square, which I covered in Magic Squares and the Tree of Life, sized 100 x 100, corresponds with the Moon, as it should. Adding the extra planets into this mix and re^^^^^ the structure, as some modern authors champion, would throw the whole system off

You probably will use very few of the larger squares in your occult practice, even though some of them possess unique ability. Still, there is one particular case where they are extremely useful. There are numbers that you cannot insert without ^^trons into some of the smaller squares such as the square 3x3, as we did with and Arathron. In those cases, I would use one of the squares, such as 10x10, that share the same planetary correspondence as the smaler square. I have done this several times in this book. I have not exceeded the 10x10 size due to the space limitations in a book of this kind, not to mention the limited surface on mmost magicians' tools.

You ^wil also fnd some numbers that are too small to ft into a 10x10 or larger ^^are and cannot ft into a square such as a 3x3. In a case like this, you can work with a square size whose planet is harmonious to your planet of focus such as 5x5 (Mars), as Mars is a friend of Saturn, or 8x8 (Mercury), as Mercury can take on multiple natures, being malefic with a malefic and benefic with a benefic .

In al honesty, you do not have to limit yourself to only one size per name. You can have multiple squares, possibly even all of the seven planetary ones for a given number. This opens the door for working with very focused energies of a given spiritual being, including angels associated with the planets and signs of the ^Zodiac. This would be a case of sub-planetary focus. As we have Earth of Air, we can have Mercury of Venus.

We have done exactly that in this book. You will fnd all possible squares from 3x3 up to lOxlO calculated and provided for all entries listed. This way you can work any sub-planetary force for any name and given purpose.

To sum it up:

• • There are infnite numbers of magic squares for each of the seven ancient planets.

• • The smallest size square is the best choice for general working.

• • You can use larger squares for their own unique properties. Some of those properties were passed down via old manuscripts, but most we have to discover on our own.

• • You can use one of the larger squares to replace one of the smaller squares of the same planetary correspondence.

• • You can have all the planetary squares for a single entity or purpose. This is just like how the seven planets appear and influence a person in their astrological chart, regardless of that person's dominant Sun sign or Ascendant.

Magic Squares - Elemental Attributes

Anomalies! Anomalies! One modern occult author referred to magic squares arranged differently from the ones listed in the Three Books of Occult Philosophy as anomalies because, in her opinion, they are unorthodox. In actuality, they are very orthodox, as long as you accept that the knowledge and history of magic squares date back much further than the 16* century Agrippa. Why am I bringing this up? I am doing so because dismissing these variations can inadvertently lead to dismissing an important principle in classical teachings on magic squares. One of the key reasons for the variation in the numbering sequence of magic squares has to do with their correspondence to the four Elements. I have included two samples from the same manuscript showcasing the antiquity of the correspondence between the Elements and the magic squares.

It would have been inconceivable to lock the Elements out of the art of magic squares, considering their importance in classical occultism. The four Elements are Fire (hot and dry), Air (hot and moist), Water (cold and moist) and Earth (cold and dry). Just as the size of the grid determines the association between a magic square and one of the seven classical planets, the direction of its internal numbering determines its association with the four Elements.

The table in the frst manuscript page translates as follows:

^he second manuscript page contains the following table:

Aerial  Earthy Watery Fiery

Occult €ncydopedia of magic Squares

You ^wil note a discrepancy between the two tables when it comes to association between numbering direction and the Elements. For those unfamiliar with ancient manuscripts or for those who take such ancient writing as sacred relics, they will find this confusing and may even end up with a bruised head or a self-inflicted bald spot.

The truth of the matter is that handwritten manuscripts do regularly contain some errors and, more often than not, authors bound by secrecy switched information around to hide their secrets from those without a teacher. This is why it is critical not to follow the instructions of any grimoire verbatim, without due analysis and comparison with other texts. Aware of their intentional omissions, many old writers advocated finding a teacher who could help the novice fill in the blanks.

Let me help decode the discrepancy of the two tables. You wwil notice the first table is more comprehensive than the second is. The author has provided you with important aspects of the attribution linking the square with the Elements and the Zodiacal signs. The astrological information is correct. Classical texts use the Elemental sequence Fire-Air-Water-Earth, based on the alchemical weight of the Elements.

Notice the location of the number one in each of those four squares. The first square has number one in the center of the top row and corresponds to Fire. The second square has number one on the right and corresponds to Air. It appears the author is moving in a clockwise direction, so in the next square we would expect the number one to be at the bottom. The author does not do this; instead it is on the left, with the next one on the bottom.

The second table contains the Elemental sequence Fire-Water-Earth-Air, which is rarely if ever used in classical occultism. Yet, the sequence of the number one as you move through the squares is clockwise. The discrepancy is the author's way of leaving us a clue. Replace the Elemental sequence of the second table with that of the frst table and the magic squares of the first table with that of the second table.

We will now have the correct tables:

Earthly Watery Aerial  Fiery

^^rologers reading this book may be wondering why we are using Fire-Air-^^to-Earth when there is a profound link between magic squares and the ^^^te. In astrology, the Elemental sequence is as follows: Fire-Earth-Air-Water. I ^we the reason for this boils down to personal preference. In classical magic, I ^have seen the alchemical weight and the natural astrological sequence used ^^^^^geably in classical magic for many techniques.

^^^nally, I am in favor of using the astrological arrangement. I like to keep things ^^^nious and simple. I have used this arrangement throughout the book. You ^wil notice a header like this: Fire-Saturn over a square to indicate its connection

Occult €ncydopcNa of ffiagk Squares

with the Element and the Planet. Should you desire to use the alchemical arrangement listed in the quoted manuscript, simply switch the correspondence in your mind. The squares themselves remain valid. However, I would urge you to try the classical astrological elemental correspondences, for I have found them more effective.

We can achieve powerfol results by focusing on a particular Elemental version of a square. This is true even when working with a planetary energy. For example, the Earth of Jupiter might be more suited for your next prosperity talisman than Water of Jupiter, especially if your business involves agriculture.

Magic Squares and Mysticism of Numbers

Magic squares are, in the end, a collection of numbers. Our understanding of magic squares will never be complete without deeper awareness of the metaphysical nature of numbers. All numbers consist of the first nine digits, so the ancients wove them into their cosmology.

ONE: This number represents the beginning of all things. In effect, all numbers are manifestations of one. Some ancients even argued against counting one as a number, as it is the source of numbers. It is the initial impulse and the sum of all things. It is unity of the Godhead made manifest and the symbol of wisdom.

TWO: The number two represents polarity and duality. By the power of the duad, the deep was created as a mirror to the heaven above. It symbolized ignorance, but the Pythagoreans also called it the mother of wisdom.

THREE: It is the frst equilibrium of unities. It represents peace, prudence, temperance, friendship and it is the cause of wisdom and understanding. The ancients considered the triad sacred, because it contains the monad and the duad in perfect balance and harmony.

FOUR: It represents the root of all things, the fountain of nature, and connects all things in nature.

FIVE: It is the sacred symbol of light, vitality and health. It symbolizes the fifth element ether. Sometimes we refer to it as the Hierophant or the priest of the mysteries, due to its spiritual connection.

SIX: Considered the perfection of all parts, the ancients called it the form of forms, the articulation of the universe, and the maker of the soul.

SEVEN: The number seven is one of the most sacred of numbers and, for the Pythagoreans, it was called 'worthy of veneration’. They connected it with religion and called it the number of life. It represents fortune, custody, dreams and visions, and all that leads things to their end. It is also the number of the Divine law.

EIGHT: This number represents love, counsel, law, and convenience. It was the number associated with the Eleusinian mysteries.

NINE: It is the number of human beings, because of their nine-month embryonic gestation. In effect, it is the end and termination of the nine digits. Among its keywords are horizon and ocean, because of the belief that they were without end. Likewise, all the cycles that come after the number containing the previous digits are boundless and limitless.

Let’s look at some of the basic numbers derived from constructing the first sixteen magtc squares.

Occult €ncydopedia of magic Squares

Let us apply Pythagorean reduction to the esoteric numbers listed in the earlier table. Pythagorean reduction is about returning all numbers to the first nine digits by adding their compositions together. For example, 666 = 6+6+6 = 18 = 1+8 = 9

The first thing we discover is that the esoteric numbers of all magic squares reduce to the numbers one and nine. The number nine represents the end of things. It is the last number in the single digit sequence, after which a new sequence starts. The number one represents the beginning of all things. It is often associated with the Godhead.

Sages of the past believed that magic squares mathematically represented divine order and harmony. They were right, for each square holds within its body the energy of the Alpha and Omega. Some squares are Alpha squares and some are Omega squares. If we start with the first mathematically possible magic square, the number pattern found within the squares is 911. If we assume that the squares sized 1x1 and 2x2 do exist on some metaphysical level, the sequence is 119. Either way, this pattern repeats itself through the squares until infinity.

The metaphysical existence of the potential 1x1 and 2x2 shouldn't be dismissed solely due to impossibility of its calculation in our reality. Let's look at the pattern of Pythagorean reduced values of the sums of any line. Starting with the 3x3 you will notice a pattern that consists of non-repeating frst nine digits in a different sequence from their natural one: 6-7-2-3-4-8-9-1-5. Once you reach fve, you start again with the number 6 and the pattern continues until infinity.

If we were to assume the existence of the hypothetical 1x1 and 2x2, the actual sequence would start at one. It would be like this: 1-5-6-7-2-3-4-8-9. This sequence would begin with the Alpha and end with the Omega with the digits in between constituting the remaining seven numbers, but in a difference sequence from that with which we are familiar.

The numbers 1-5 in the sequence are not initially manifest. The number 15 was associated with one of the oldest Divinities in human history, the ancient Goddess of the Near East. Actually, the cuneiform for the number and the name of the Goddess was interchangeable. The first number of manifestation is the perfect number six. The biblical narrative tells us that God created the world in six days.

This number frst appears in connection with the 3x3 square. The sum of any line in this square is 15, which is the numerological value of Eve in Arabic. The total sum of the entire square is 45, which is the numerological value of Adam in Arabic and Hebrew. This gives a completely new meaning to Eve's creation from Adam's rib.

Let us look again at how the primal 3x3 square is constructed. This time we will keep in mind that Pythagorean numerology considered odd numbers masculine and even numbers feminine.

The even numbers (feminine) appear in the corners, containing the odd numbers (masculine). This is a mathematical symbol of the act of sacred union or marriage. The male cross is contained by and united in the female womb.

Occult €ncydopedia of Q)agic Squares

Where does the number 119 fit in all this? The number 119 is the result of multiplication of seven by seventeen. The sacred and revered number seven has an extended association with the Goddess, especially in the Lady of Love aspect. It is the number of Venus of Nature. According to the Romans, the number seventeen represented death and misfortune. Thus, we are seeing a combination of life and death in the number 119.Jabir Ibn Hayyan (Geber), the famed medieval scholar and alchemist, considered all that is in the universe as governed by the number 17. Some modern thinkers, such as Henry Blanquart, argue that it is the junction between the spiritual and material worlds.

Number 119 has other meanings. Astrologically, the 119th degree of the Zodiac is the 28th degree of Cancer. The Moon rules over Cancer and completes its cycle in 28 days. It embodies the full power of the moon and femininity. This degree is the fall of Mars, the destroyer. The 29th degree of the Cancer that follows it is the critical degree and partakes of the energies of Leo (Sun) and Cancer (Moon). The union of Sun and Moon also represents the concept of Divine marriage or sacred union.

What do Agial, Yophial, Graphiel, Nachiel, Kadmael, Tirial, and Chasmodai all have in common?

They are all planetary spirits whose names' numerological values we find naturally occurring in magic squares.

It is an open secret that there is a relationship between numbers connected to magic squares and planetary spirits and intelligences. I believe this to be a Western xxii

Quick Guide Co Q)agk Squares

adoption of a more complex system of associating the numbers of a magic square with angels and jinn. They used this system in the ancient Near East as revealed in Arabic manuscripts. I have given glimpses of this system in my earlier work, Magic That Works, which I co-authored with Frances Harrison. I will be revealing it again here and in future work, because I am a firm believer of its importance in practical occult workings.

The underlying principle of this system is very simple. Just as we can turn letters to numbers, so can we turn numbers to letters. Numbers are to letters as the soul is to the body. Key and essential numbers, related to its construction and thus existence, are inherent in a magic square. If you can convert those numbers into fetters, i.e. give the energy form, then you have the means of further activating and ^awakening the spiritual forced contained in the magic square.

Eight angelic beings made of light and eight jinn beings made of smokeless fire are associated with every single magic square. Ancient magicians would use the angels for constructive purposes and the jinn for destructive. You can also CToke the angels and the jinn together for material manifestation, with the angels commanding the jinn.

^Please, keep in mind that we can only direcdy link those names to the magic ^^^. As an example, if your square is for the angel Gabriel, those sixteen beings are associated with that particular square of the angel Gabriel and not with the mgel Gabriel direcdy. Since the connection between the angel Gabriel and the ^^are is direcdy related to numerological match, multiple names could share the same square.

Let us look at these values as they apply to the primary seven magic squares.

4x4 Magic Square

5x5 Magic Square

6x6 Magic Square

7x7 Magic Square

8x8 Magic Square

Occult EncydopeNa of Q)agk Squares

9x9 Magic Square

Converting those numbers into letters requires a basic familiarity with either Arabic or Hebrew alphabets. I believe the conversion is easier in Arabic than in Hebrew, as Arabic naturally has a letter that represents the value of 1,000.

The majority of angels have the suffix AL’ at the end. El is an ancient Semitic word for God, pronounced differently based on Semitic language and dialect. The two most common pronunciations are El in Hebrew and 11 in Canaanite, from the Akkadian Ilu. El (^N) in Hebrew has the value 31, but in Arabic, we write 11

phonetically Aeel (^I) with the value of 41.

\Ve calculate Jinn suffixes based on subtraction of the angelic suffix from the number of degrees in a circle. If we subtract 41 from 360, our remainder will be 319. Converting numbers into Arabic letters we would have 300 (Sheen), 10 (Ya), 9 (Toa). Starting first with the smallest, we will end up with To-Ya-Sha or Teesh. Since the Hebrew angelic suffix has different numerological value form

the Arabic, we ^wil need to extract a different value for the jinn suffix in Hebrew. It ^wil be 360-31 = 329. Converting 329 into Hebrew would be 300 (Shin), 20 (Kaph), 9 (Teth) or Takesh.

How this works in practice is simple. Let us as use the number 136, which is the total sum of the 4x4 square. We want to use Hebrew, so we subtract 31 from 136, which leave us with 105. We subtract the suffix first because otherwise it ^wil increase the original number. We want the total value of the name, including the suffix, to equal the desired value. The only way to ensure that is to subtract the suffix first. Conver ng 105 to Hebrew letters starts by actually pronouncing the number. Pronouncing it gives us a clue as to the order of the letters. In this case, it is one hundred and five thus 100 (^Qgph) and 5 (Heh). The complete name of the angel, including the suffix, is QHAL (^hael).

What happens if we are dealing with a large number such as 1030? The same thing applies. First, we subtract the suffix (31) then we convert the remainder (999) from numbers into letters. Many magicians in the West are familiar with the idea of final values for some of the letters. This principle hasn't always been in use in ancient Kabbalah. Furthermore, it cant be used when the name needs to end with a suffix like El. Luckily, the Hebrew numeration system exists for . larger numbers. Here is how we do it:

999 is broken down to

900

90

9

There is no direct corresponding letter to the number 900 (finals not counted). Therefore, we have to break it down using the value of the last letter of the Hebrew alphabet. It is broken down like this:

900 = 400+400+100

We reformulate the whole number thus:

400

400

100

90

9

or

’jKtaspnn

The English equivalent is Th-Th-Q:Ts-T-A-L pronounced:Thathaqetstael

When dealing with values like 20000 we numerate them like this:

nnn:

Here is where Arabic makes this process easier. Arabic shares the same exact ^rars with the Hebrew alphabet in the same sequence. However, in addition, it includes six letters bringing the numerological range to 1,000. Let us say we ^have the resulting value of 351,123; that would be pronounced as three hundred (Staen) and one (Alef) fifty (Nun) thousand (Ghyin) and one hundred (Qaf) ^and three (Jeem) twenty (Kaf) three. In Arabic, they don't say twenty-one, but ^^ad one-twenty even though it is written the same. The resulting values are ShANGhQJK (Shanghaqajek) + suffix.

You may have noticed that some values are less than the suffix value. This makes it ^^wssible to subtract without incurring a negative value. I have seen the following ^rkaround in old manuscripts. You begin by actually adding the number of ^degres in a circle, 360, to the original value; then you subtract the suffix and ^^^xd as normal.

I most of my readers will find this process challenging, as most English ^^Aers are unfamiliar with either Hebrew or Arabic. There is no way around ^^, as angelic names were traditionally in Semitic languages. However, through ^^^ce and gradual familiarity, this system wilh become a cinch to use. Remember, you don't need to learn the language, but merely get to know the alphabet in question. I hope you make the effort for, in my experience, the benefits are ^rthwhile.

Magic Squares - Benefits & Uses

Yes, the process of constructing talismans with magic squares is more complicated than most people have been lead to believe by modern occult writers - that is if you want to get the same results the ancients did. Most occultists these days use magic squares as a last-step decorative element in a cornucopia of sigils on a talismanic implement. Truth be told, if created and empowered properly, a magic square is the only talisman you actually need to get wicked results.

I will be covering the complete process in depth in a book dedicated purely to this topic. In this book, I will provide you with an overview of some of these benefits. I will be dividing the benefits based on planets and the Zodiacal signs.

I have used a basic keyword structure for generic correspondences. These keywords represent how the planetary and Zodiacal influences materialize. You can then create talismans in harmony with those infuences. For example, you want a talisman to help you deliver a spiritual lecture. You would then call on the angels of Sagittarius, Jupiter, and Mercury using their corresponding magic squares. If you want to treat a disease then look at the planet associated with that body part. If you want to develop a specifc personal trait, then again look at the corresponding influence.

Meditation on the Source and the Will to Renounce.

These make up a general overview. You need to look at your specific situation to be truly successful in your talismanic work. For example, it is easy to pick, let's say, Jupiter as a general planet associated with growth and do a prosperity talisman. However, step back for a second and look at what you actually do for a living. You may need something different. If you are a CEO and looking to impress your board with your new proposal, you may want a Mercury talisman to gain new funding or a Sun talisman to gain more respect and obedience. If you are in the military and hoping to rise in rank, you may want either a Saturn or Sun magic square. If you are a real estate agent, you may want to use the Moon as it deals with one's abode.

You will need to compliment those talismans with squares of angels and various spirits associated with the astrological forces you intend to channel. You will find yourself returning to this book more than once to get those extra squares to supercharge your talisman.

I would like to end my introduction with a small gift. I will provide you with one of my personal magic squares for generating endless opportunities for income growth. I felt it would be the most suitable of gifts to my loyal readers in this time of economical challenge. I would love to hear from you after you put it to use and walk out of the bank grinning. Let's get started:

Timing: Moon is in the 8* degree ofVirgo. There should be no negative aspect to the Moon, Mercury and Jupiter.

Incense: Frankincense, Saffron, and Amber

Construction: You will need to construct your talisman on a natural surface. Please, avoid using synthetic materials and under no circumstances laminate a printer-produced talisman. You need to make this by hand and you will be

carrying it with you in your wallet or handbag. You can use natural paper, leather, or cloth.

You will be using two squares in the talisman. The first consists of an 8x8 square consisting only of the letter Cheth to represent the number eight. The other is the words Aobel &3,N) Ha (if) Gazzah (m5) Dehab (ifm) , which translate to

"Bring The Golden Fleece". Surrounding both squares is a large 8 either upright or on its side to represent the infinity symbol.

Start first by drawing the large infinity symbol to cover the bulk of the page. When drawing this symbol chant repeatedly: Nathan Sha'al Aosher Kabowd Aiysh Melek Yowm. You can also say the same sentence in English: "And I have also given thee that which thou has not asked, both riches and honor, so that there shall not be any among the kings like unto thee all thy days."

In the right (or top) loop draw the following square:

The total value of this square is 512 = 5+1+2=8

After you draw each letter, put your finger over it. Recite the following eight times with your mouth near your finger: Chesed (Mercy), Chamal (Compassion), Chai (Living). Breathe on the letter with your finger on it eight times saying with your breath: Chartom (Magician), Chen (Charm), Chayil (Wealth). Visualize the fetters glowing with a white hue filled with golden sparkles.

In the left (bottom) loop draw the following square:

Make sure you pronounce the words audibly as you are writing them. You should be doing the inscription right to left.

Once you are done, wrap this talisman with a white cloth and put it in your wallet. I would recommend you pull it out every time the moon re-enters the 8th degree of Virgo and retrace the inscription with your fingers, coupled with the chanting.

In the remaining pages of the book, you wwil fnd the pre-calculated squares for the angels and spirits of the Zodiac according to the modern Western Mystery Tradition. In the next volumes of this series, I will be presenting classical materials directly from Hebrew and Arabic sources. The book Magic Squares and Tree of Life was intended to be a bonus chapter of this series, but it has since became a book unto itself It will provide advanced students with additional important information, and beginners with more depth to their theoretical body of knowledge. In the end, these are how-to manuals and resources, begging people looking to improve their lives whether spiritually or materially or both to use them. Let the magic happen ...
