W6: LIGHT - SATOR Square (read the description)

The SATOR Square is a Latin Palindrome. The

keys read the same backwards and forwards,

from bottom to top and back. As a result the

SATOR Square evokes a calming sense of order

and complete symmetry. Being the only four-fold

palindrome, the word square was credited in the

past with magical powers. It became one of the

widest spread magical formulas in the Western

World. The earliest datable square was found in the

ruins of Pompeii that was buried in the ash of Mt.

Vesuvius in AD 79 almost 2000 years ago. This photo shows my SATOR square under normal light of the left and under UV light on the right!
