Agrippa associated different magic squares with the known planetary bodies at the time and then showed that if you take the numbers within a magic square and trace a line to connect the numbers in numberical order, it reveals patterns that you can put on the floor and do a little dance to! Sort of a like a magic ritual dance to invoke that heavenly body's energy. SO FUCKING COOL! This was basicall the DANCE DANCE REVOLUTION of the 16th century!

A magic square is an n x n square with a whole number written inside each cell, so that the sum of the numbers in every row, in every column and in each of the main diagonals adds up to the SAME NUMBER! This number is called the "magic number" for that partiualr square. (For example, the magic number of the Saturn Square is 15)
