Magic Squares

tinyrosemarysparrows:

I really feel like screaming right now (but I won’t because that would be terribly un-ladylike).

Two days ago I decided I was going to finally learn how to use magic squares (the number squares used to make sigils). I was getting my correspondences and chose to use the Mars square and I had just gotten it onto paper when I actually looked at it. Then I noticed the double-digits and realized I had no idea how to do it. I mean, I’ve done the nine-square one alright, but it only had 1-9.

Any tips on how to actually do a magic square with double-digits?

All I can tell you is what I did, not an “official” way. 

Find a relevant number – like say for Mars, five, since it’s the 5th planet. Divide any number that’s too large for your square by 5 until you reach a usable number.
