Open Sorcery: Mastery Sigil Amuet

thingiverse

A Kamea, also known as a Magic Square, gets its name from the Hebrew word for amulet. These mathematical logic puzzles were a favorite tool of medieval scholar and occultist Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa. Today, they're used in Chaos Magic, Thelema, and many other occult traditions. Their roots lie in Gematria, an ancient Semitic tradition that assigns supernatural value to words through numerology and astrology. The Kamea presented here is part of the Square of Saturn, designed to promote discipline and self-actualization. It's offered as part of my Open Sorcery project, which combines ancient schools of thought with digital technology. I'm fascinated by this subject, having studied folklore and mythology in university and written a thesis on the sorcerer smith. Items like this are usually made from paper or ink, but few people have the skills to forge them from metal. Clay is an option, but it can be messy and lacks precision without experience. Since Kameoth often serve specific purposes, making one of metal might not be practical, even if you have the means. Spending time and money on a bronze casting only to retire it after a month or two would be wasteful. I'm using PLA to strike a balance between durability and ease of creation. This material is cost-effective and durable, making it ideal for mass production. The philosophies of ceremonial magic and the western esoteric tradition intersect with art history, mathematics, and psychology, offering techniques for introspection, self-awareness, and observation. This project keeps these traditions present in the digital world.
