Eros (Rose) Magic Square (derived from the Sator Square).

Eros is the Greek God of love and desire. Using the numerical values of the Greek letters of his name (E = 5, R = 17, O = 24, S = 18), we can generate a magic square where each row, column and diagonal sums to 64.

Rose is an anagram of Eros, and is a symbol of Aphrodite or Venus, the Goddess of Love. The Roman name for Eros is Cupid, who appears in “The Tale of Cupid & Psyche” by Apuleius.

This tale appears in many forms, such as “Sleeping Beauty”, where the name of the princess is “Briar Rose”, or the tale of Tannhauser and Venus. The symbol of the rose also appears in Dante’s Paradiso, and the labyrinth in Chartres Cathedral.

Phanes is a primeval Greek deity who is related to Eros, with love and desire being a prime motive force : “Love is the Law, Love Under Will” - Liber AL vel Legis.

The final diagram (by John Martineau) shows the Pentagram of Venus, which is the rose-like pattern generated by Venus and the Earth as they orbit the Sun over a period of eight years. Venus is known as the Morning Star, or Lucifer, the Light Bringer.
