Different Ways to Use Magic Squares with Alcohol and Fire: Saturn Square as Lord of Light for the Dead
To build upon working with the dead and fire, I want to open Pandora’s box to the idea of pushing the envelope of how we approach magical squares as small magical amplifiers/computers. While I should be writing this with references to Al-Toukhi’s Beginning and End and Arabic magical manuscripts, I’d be lying if I framed this as purely academic. Credit is due to Sheikh Mahmoud Alzalitin (an Al-Azhar graduate) for his booklet on polyvalent spells with Saturn’s Square. This method is roughly 80% channeled, originally devised to resolve a physical conflict with a predecessor. It’s less about step-by-step instructions and more a platform for creative experimentation. Let’s begin with…
Burning the Square
Now one way is to take a piece of wood or a paper or cardboard or whatever you have available and write with chalk or pen the square in ascending order 1->2->3->...->9 in each spot. Afterward you would write below the square your request explicit saying what you need and want to happen and the best thing to relate to the original working I did with this is a statement like "give light unto my ancestors, give light upon light and faith unto my mother's side and father's side and all the spirits who needs it" then you pray your guardian angel to intercede for you and throw it in a lit fire. Now that's probably a very simple way to do it and to "interface" with the power of the square. Again the whole aspect here is that you're using the square as a gateway for your working it both binds the intention and channels the divine energy through it, how does it work? I don't really know and I don't think I have a good understanding except that it works really well, really fast, and hits hard.
The Drinking Game( don't actually drink the offering glasses)
(Apologies for the poor photo quality!)
Sorry for the bad photography, to explain what you are seeing is Saturn's Square on the table drawn with chalk and then small cava and shot glasses filled with normal drinking water are placed around the square and the watered down wine takes number 9 and 8 in first picture and number 1 and 2 in the second picture. The square is the same but the "substance" making the square is different, if you imagine a magic square as a little computer then the glasses of water on top of it are the equivalent of a programming. My own position of these glasses is the equivalent of someone copying a code from stackexchange and not knowing how it works LOL( copying instructions from my spirits and executing it) . After you set it up you need to execute it, no? Grab any prayer book at hand or holy book you have, thumb around randomly and call it Bibliomancy then choose the first section your eye fall on and that's the equivalent of "activating" the square.
Now whatever you choose to read won't necessarily will be directly related to what you think you're doing but it's definitely related on different levels. It's a whole interesting "world" to try and see what you can do with this method, what if you used playing card or tarot card too! try to poke around with it and you would probably have more interesting use cases than what I have. What happen if you're not using this for necromantic spirits and doing a eucharistic theurgy with some angels instead! interesting take on that!
Both of these above techniques are not restricted to working with the dead or the living only or any subset of spirits. I just used them in that specific context and you can build upon that in your own way and be inspired by it.
