In the Western Occult Tradition, each planet has traditionally been associated with a series of numbers and particular organizations of those numbers. One such method of numerological arrangement is the magic square.
Associated Numbers
The numbers associated with Mercury are 8, 64, 260, and 2080. This is because:- Each row and column of the magic square contains eight numbers.
- The square contains 64 numbers total, ranging from 1 to 64.
- Each row, column and diagonal adds up to 260.
- All of the numbers in the square add up to 2080.
Divine Names
The divine names associated with Mercury all have numerological values of 8 or 64. The name of the intelligence of Mercury has a value of 260, and the name of the spirit of Mercury has a value of 2080. These values are calculated by writing out the names in Hebrew and then adding up the value of each included letter, as each Hebrew letter can represent both a sound and a numerical value.
Construction of The Seal
The seal of Mercury is constructed by drawing lines that intersect every number within the magic square.Read more: More Correspondences of Mercury
