Agrippa's table of Mars · 5×5 square · intelligence Graphiel · spirit Barzabel
The table of Mars is a five-by-five square of the numbers 1 to 25, with lines summing to 65 and a total of 325. Agrippa prints it with the seal of Mars and the sigils of the intelligence Graphiel and the spirit Barzabel, whose names each yield 325 by Hebrew numeration. He describes the table as giving strength in war and against enemies when engraved under a favourable Mars, and as causing strife and harm under an unfavourable one. Like the other planetary tables, it was reproduced by Francis Barrett in The Magus (1801).
