I suspect there is greater variation in terms of reflection or directional orientation than is at first admitted by those who present them as doctrinal or required for practice or as part of an occult philosophical edifice (Agrippa et al). magic squares are classified by orders of magnitude (dimension) and their qualities form family-relations based on numerical and planar principles. see Andrews, for example, from which I'll quote if there's interest.
