Kamea are kabbalisticly created devices used in magick. These "magick squares" have been in use for thousands of years.

The kamea is a grid of numbers that represents one of the seven planets and is used to discover the names and seals of the planetary seals, intelligences and spirits. The number of squares on the grid is determined by the number of the Sephira governing the planet- nine for the moon, three for Saturn, etc. The numbers in the square must be arranged (using increasingly difficult methods) so that each row or column adds to the same sum. The seal of each planet is created by drawing figures which touch on each square of the seal. The seals of the spirits and intelligences of the seals are traced according to the gematric value of their names. (i.e., aleph=1, and so on; the name Agiel would be traced as 1,3,10, 3 0n the Saturn Square)
