Anyone here have experience with magic squares/sigils?
Magic squares is something I randomly experimented with while researching a lot of esoteric/occult stuff and sacred geometry. I also found out about sigils thru these, and actually felt some kind of effect after drawing them which made me realize there might be some real magic to this stuff.
For those that don't know, magic squares are like Sudoku where all the rows/columns will add up to a certain number. There are tons of different types you can make, with diff magic sums, and even different patterns beyond lines/rows that give the same magic sum. One of the more well known is the planetary squares, including the 6x6 square which adds up to "666" (which I think is the sun actually lol). You can take it a step further too by connecting the numbers in various ways like from lowest to highest to create line patterns or sigils. Some of the sigils are commonly used in groups like masonry (the Saturn symbol), or even the "generals cross" seen on army badges.
Its interesting how certain symbols get associated with certain gods or spirits. In Hinduism/buddism there is something called yantras which are like mandalas with geometric designs but can also be magic squares with specific magic sums, and they are often considered to invoke specific deities. Makes me wonder how far this relationship between spirits and numbers goes.
The magic square I used was the 4x4 square (Jupiter). I just remember drawing the square, the numbers all equaled like 131 or something, then the sigil, and soon after I felt a weird tingling on my head and body was heating up... sorta freaked out. I tore up the paper and trashed it and the feeling went away lol.
From what I have read magic squares seem to be the root of how most sigils we see now came to be, including symbols for astrology/planets or alchemy. They take it even further with the more advanced enochian stuff but I haven't explored that. It seems a bit risky to me as I'm not sure who or what I'm triggering when I make these things.
Anyways, anyone else heard of em or have experience with squares or sigils and have stories to share?
