Magic Square of the Sun and 666 (Agrippa von Nettesheim; French, tr., Three Books of Occult Philosophy, 1651)

Text: "Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six." Revelation 13:18

Quote:


[...] The fourth table is of the Sun, and is made of a square of six, and contains thirty six numbers, whereof six in every side, and Diameter, produce 111, and the sum of all is 666. There are over it divine names with an Intelligency to what is good, and spirit to what is evil, and out of it are drawn Characters of the Sun, and of the spirits thereof. This being engraven on a Golden plate with the Sun being fortunate, renders him that wears it to be renowned, amiable, acceptable, potent in all his works, and equals a man to Kings, and Princes, elevating him to high fortunes, inabling to do whatsoever he pleaseth: but with an unfortunate Sun, it makes a tyrant, and a man to be proud, ambitious, unsatisfiable, and to have an ill ending. [...]

Agrippa von Nettesheim, Heinrich Cornelius; French, John, tr., Three Books of Occult Philosophy, London: Printed by R. W. for Gregory Moule, 1651, pp. 240-241,246.
