Magical Squares (was Physics)   Message List  
Reply Message #552 of 1563 |
The magical squares are probably a side diversion from some primordial images like the 'mandala' or the alchemical 'squaring of the circle', symbolised also by the 'Roma Quadrata' (square Rome) present in the famous graffito of  Pompeii (here simplified):
ROMA
AMOR
The square and the circle were related, in Rome, to the 'square fire' of Vulcan and to the 'round fire' of Vesta. That Pompeian square is probably a symbol of the androgenic origin of Rome itself, related by Servius (Ad. Aen., II, 351):
"Genio urbis Romae sive mas sive femina" (The genius of Rome is either male and feminine).
 
Amor (love) is nothing but Venus, mother of Aeneas from which derived Romulus (son of Mars), while Roma is nothing but Mars and its martial destiny (word close to the Greek 'rome' = force, or 'rume' = impetus).
To read Amor from right to left reveals an assimilation of the ancient Venus's cults to exceed.
Evola, in fact, does explain that the force or 'virtus':
"...Projecting into Venus, changes it into Mars: by this power it shakes and fix the Mercury and gets Jupiter out from it..." ('La Tradizione Ermetica', sect. 20).
By the way, Guénon interpreted the Latin word 'Amor' as 'a-mors' (without death), following Luigi Valli: disputable.
 
Italia was also called Hesperia, and Hesperus is the evening star Venus, while Lucifer is its morning martial counterpart. We can join the West or Occident to the Hercules columns and the Hesperides islands visited in a primary Herculean labour: catching the Golden Apples of the Sun (the Stone or Lapis). This is the Herculean mythical background of Rome as lighthouse of the West, involving the famous duel between the twin, Romulus and Remus: the solar eagles overcame the lunar vultures and the wolf of Mars eclipsed the mother she-wolf. 
This is only a drop of a mythical river starting from the Aryan (= 'noble' in Sanskrit) dyad Shiva-Shakti and proceeding as far as Mars and Venus. The Hellenic dyad Nous-Psyche or the Platonic Monad were also close to them, but the Roman severity considered too intellectual the Greek images, perhaps a part from the Stoic ones. 
In the Middle Age, the Ars Regia or alchemy preserved those imagery and process, but driving at hybrid collateral creatures like Rosicrucianism, Masonry, Cabbalism and the magical mirrors from which started this speech. 
Rome assimilated every stranger cult and rite to get all forces and divine favours (especially when an adverse city must be conquered) but never accepted those Galilean sects which had no intention to put the Chaos behind the Olympic Cosmos, and mostly refusing the forces and the spirit of the Empire and its heroic way to The Sacred.

Thanks for the reply, this is what i've been looking for.. It fills in the gaps..

Please note also...

Luca Pacioli(1445-1517)crafted the art of double-bookkeeping and magic squares.

Bookkeeping and the occult a very semitic affair..

Magic squares were also an occult technique used by Agrippa and the shady Cabbalist Rabbi Joseph Tzayach of Damascus (1505-1573)..
(I have copied the below from the web-site which says it all
really).

The rest of Pacioli's pretentious mathematical summation was soon
forgotten. But the section on double-entry bookkeeping was reprinted
and translated, and it continued teaching accountants well into the
19th century.

This formal method was, in the words of an early 16th-century
accountant,

"a magic mirror in which the adept sees both himself and others."
