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:

This 6x6 magic square has an irregular symmetric structure.
Use the method of reflecting grids (1) to construct magic squares of order is double odd. See 6x6, 10x10, 14x14, 18x18, 22x22, 26x26 en 30x30
