Talismans can be made using planetary magic squares - each of the seven planets have their own corresponding magic square which consists of a table of numbers. The simplest table is that of Saturn - which has a grid of nine numbers and the most complex is the moon with its grid of eighty-one numbers.
The numbers of each square, in any vertical or horizontal division - always adds to give the same sum. This sum is the magical number of the planetary daemon or spirit.
Saturn's table when engraved on a piece of lead brings good fortune to its wearer and is effective "to help child-birth and to make a man powerful."
Jupiter's table engraved on a piece of silver was believed to bring favour and love to he who wears it. "It will dissolve witchcraft, engraven on coral."
Mars
table "engraven on iron or swords makes him that bears it valiant in wars
and terrible to his adversaries. Cut in carnelian, it stops bleeding."
"The Sun engraven on gold, makes the bearer fortunate and beloved, and to be a companion of Kings."
"Venus engraven on silver, brings good fortune and love of women. It makes the wearer powerful and dissolves witchcraft, also generates peace between man and wife."
"Mercury engraven on silver, tin or brass, or written on virgin parchment, will make him that wears it obtain what he desires. It brings gain, gives memory and understanding, and knowledge of occult things by dreams."
The use of Magic
Squares were popularised by the magician Agrippa
in his book De
Occulta Philosophia,
1534.
