Reflecting grids (1)

 

The 6x6 Agrippa magic square (See below a download with all Agrippa's magic squares) is probably constructed by using a grid with row coordinates and a grid with column coordinates. The second grid is no reflection of the first grid. It is also possible to use reflecting grids:
