Besides this legend, excavations in China and Egypt actually discovered many stone and metal objects in the shape of squares that served as charms. In the history of mankind, squares have been accompanied by numbers which, in addition to their classical use that we know from the current commercial world, primarily had esoteric, numerological and astrological significance and depicted the imaginary key to the gate between space and Earth.

The old Chinese were convinced that the square was able to provide happiness and well-being. Therefore, it was used not only as a powerful charm but was also incorporated in the foundations of houses instead of a foundation stone. People around the world believed in the benefits of squares, and so we can meet them in India and Persia from where they also went further to Europe.

The shape of a square is also found on a beret that is part of a robe used in evangelical churches, or as a ceremonial robe during a graduation ceremony, or as an item of clothing of judges, prosecutors and attorneys. Wearing it should secure interconnection with the universe at a higher spiritual level. So what is the Magic Square and how do we perceive it? It is a square table with numbers that are placed in regular rows and columns so that the sum in each row, column and on both diagonals is always the same.
