Enochian

Chess & the

Golden Dawn

‘Enochia’ is recognisable as different though in no way contradictory to Qabalah. It has developed the Kameas or Magical Squares of the former system into a different dimension - at right angles if I may so phrase it - to Qabalistic magic. (for a study in depth, see Le Carre Magique SATOR AREPO, by Alex Bloch). Similarly it has expanded the Qabalistic equivalent of Mantra-Yoga in its elaborate Words-of-Power.

So much we owe to Dee or his communicators: McGregor Mathers devised beyond this an Enochian parallel to the Hindu Tattvas – more properly Tanmatras – as taught in the Golden Dawn when he elaborated the Elemental Universe as revealed to Dee. This Tattva-teaching was taken more or less directly from Nature’s Finer Forces by Ram Prasad, but whereas the Tattvas represent, for example, Air of Fire as a red triangle charged with a (smaller) blue circle, Fire being the element and Air the Sub-element, its Enochian equivalent is to be found in one of the squares of the lesser angle of Air in the Watch-Tower of Fire.

Enochiana is much more detailed, its Elemental potencies being more finely sub-divided as to classification; therefore, the visions produced by skrying in its squares should be at once more elevated and more precise than those resulting from Tattva-skrying. http://enochianchess.com

The Serpent Power, Kundalini-Shakti

“We pray to the Paradevata united with Siva, whose substance is the pure nectar of bliss, red like unto vermillion, the young flower of the hibiscus, and the sunset sky; who, having cleft Her way through the mass of sound issuing from the clashing and the dashing of the two winds in the midst of Susumna, rises to that brilliant Energy which glitters with the lustre of ten million lightenings.

May She, Kundalini, who quickly goes to and returns from Siva, grant us the fruit of Yoga! She being awakened is the Cow of Plenty to Kaulas and the Kalpa Creeper of all things desired for those who worship her.”

Sarada-Tilaka, xxxv, 70

Seven Wise Men (The Magical Writings of Ithell Colquhoun)

Under this name were included in antiquity seven men of the period 620 – 550 B.C., distinguished for practical wisdom, who conducted the affairs of their country as rulers, law-givers and councilors. They were reputed to be the authors of certain brief maxims in common use, which were variously assigned among them; the names also of the seven men were also differently given. Those usually mentioned are:

1. Cleobulus, tyrant of Lindus in Rhodes – to whom was ascribed the maxim: ‘Moderation is the chief good.’

2. Periander, tyrant of Corinth; ‘Forethought in all things.’

3. Pittacus of Mitylene; ‘Know thy opportunity.’

4. Bias: ‘Too many workers spoil the Work.’

5. Thales of Miletus; ‘Suretyship brings ruin.’

6. Chilon of Sparta ‘Know thyself.’

7. Solon of Athens; ‘Nothing too much.’

Meaning of Chakras

The Sanskrit word means a revolving disk. There is no directly equivalent western word, which is why ‘chakras’ has come raw into English usage.

The traditional image is often of a wheel with spokes, a flower with petals (orient), or a star with rays (occident). Their reflection is closer in some ways to the seven traditional (viewable by naked eye) planets than to either the Sephiroth or the ‘number-letters’ of Judaic mysticism.

I hope to integrate the theory of magic with a better understanding of evolutionary ophthalmics. These 88 Tarot (Trionfo or Triumphs) can help us explore the Four Worlds, whether viewed as Enochian Watchtowers or Chessboards, Qabalah, or as Realms of Buddhistic Space. We explore Tattvic tides and correspondences between Western & Eastern systems of Chakras.
