The Magic Square is a Key with which we may interpret Symbolic Writings. Any System will serve the purpose. The Siamese Method by de La Loubère, (French Ambassador of Louis XIV, 1687), is one of the best.
To make a Magic Square, start with figure 1 in the centre of the top line. Move in a diagonal direction upward towards the right. Since there is no line above, imagine the bottom line raised thus:

in order to place the 2.
Continue this diagonal movement until there is no line remaining to the right. Now imagine the left hand line placed to the right thus:

From this we can go on to find the place for 4. Repeat to place figure 5. Since the next square is occupied by figure 1, we must place the 6 immediately below the 5. Continue diagonally to the right, placing 7, 8, 9 and 10. Since the next square is occupied by 6, drop below as usual for the 11. Continue…
Thus there are three Rules:
a. When in the top line of the square, imagine the lowest line placed on top and continue.
b. When in the last column, imagine the first column placed last and continue.
c. When there is no vacant square, write the next number directly underneath.
The Magic Squares:
|
The Square of Saturn |
3X3 |
|
“ “ “ Jupiter |
4X4 |
|
“ “ “ Mars |
5X5 |
|
“ “ “ Sun |
6X6 |
|
“ “ “ Venus |
7X7 |
|
“ “ “ Mercury |
8X8 |
|
“ “ “ Moon |
9X9 |
According to the knowledge of Correspondences, everything is under an Aspect, ie e every prayer, religion, country, word, etc.
Therefore we must use the correct Key:
Semitic works below Aspect of Moon
Typical Hebrew “ “ “ Saturn
English works “ “ “ Mars
French “ “ “ “ Venus.
The Use of the Magic Square:
Select in Holy Scriptures what we think we understand, replace with number values, and thus find the true meaning.
The Koran is based on the Magic Square. The Bible is based, more or less, on the Kabbalah and the Egyptian Taro.
Read the book, “LOGICA KURIAKA” for the teaching of Jesus Christ. It is the notes of the Disciples from which our New Testament is taken.
Read the “SEPHER YETZIRAH” (book of Moses) on which our O.T. is based.
ref. SEPHER in Hebrew is NUMBER; SIFR (Arabic) is zero or nothing; CHIFFRE (French) is number; CIPHER (English) is zero. ALL our figures come from ARABIA.
An interesting Study: The Mystery of 64 and 65:
Superimpose the pieces of Diagram A (area 64), upon those of Diagram B (area 65). Therefore 64 equals 65.
264 -1= 18,446,744,073,709,551,615.
This is the Vibration of thought, the highest vibration to which we can apply any meaning.
Each Epoch, (25,920 years), changes completely the idea of a name, even as it does the Continents, because of the difference of Polarity.
Thus in SANSKRIT ‘DEV’ was of God, Now ‘dev’ is of Devil.
Old American Mythology gave Ourigan as God. Now Hurigan is of Devil.
ref Ouragan (French), Hurricane (English), being a great storm (destruction).
Prepare the Magic Square of Saturn. ie 3 x 3.
