SATOR MAGIC SQUARE CUP

Drink to your safety, protection and good fortune. The most recognized word square, known as the Sator Square, contains a mysterious collection of letters. The five, five letter words, positioned inside a 5×5 grid, form a most impressive palindrome of SATOR AREPO TENET OPERA ROTAS. A palindrome is a word/sentence which can be read both forward or backward. Found within a square, this phrase is then able to be read from left or right, upward or downward, by following either rows or columns. This powerful arrangement is believed to hold magical qualities and is seen used on amulets, talismans, or charms to ward away evil. The letters contained within the square hid an anagram of two PATER NOSTER’s in the form of a cross (sharing the N), and with two A’s and two O’s leftover. The odds for the Sator square to consist of this, unintentionally, are considered highly improbable, and therefore, believed to be meaningful. Having the mark kept harm from coming to those who displayed it. The Sator square was often placed above doorways and inscribed on various objects for protection from evil happenings. The possible secret and hidden understanding, along with the magical positioning of letters in the grid, made the Sator square a powerful talisman.
