Perhaps it would be good to merge the two threads? A lot of the discussions seem to overlap/ be relevant to both.
No, I prefer to focus specifically on this pipe chart in this thread.
Exploring the mansions path, I checked about the first google reference to more or less contemporary magic source which turned to be Agrippa (You are not allowed to view links.

Like, if those are mansions, then the labels may designate e.g. the things that those mansions do favor ("talismans" in the referenced weblink). I noted that, according to Agrippa (as he is explained in that site), several mansions can be talismans for the same thing. Like, four mansions are talismans for destruction, and two of them essentially mean the same thing ("destruction of somebody" is pretty the same as "destruction of someone").
Now, if mansions, why would they need long and short shapes?
