Greetings oracle! I've often encountered the following 'magic square': S A T O R A R E P O T E N E T O P E R A R O T A S Although I know a little Latin, I can't make much sense of the sentence "Sator arepo tenet opera rotas". Do you know what it means? Thanks, Chris |
It "means": "Arepo the sower holds the wheels at work" - if that means anything - but the real meaning is in the anagram which can be formed from the letters. The pentagram was thus a Christian secret symbol, like the fish.
Not only does it form a cross, but it reads "Our Father" across and down, with alpha and omega at the beginning and end of each! Trust you are suitably amazed! Andrew |
