- COLOURING THE ENOCHIAN TABLETS
- (6-27-90 e.v.)
- by Sharash
-
- There are several methods of colouring the elemental tablets,
- depending on which Enochian system you are using and also if the english
- lettered squares are being coloured or the Enochian lettered truncticated
- pyramids are being used.
- I will attempt in this paper to euclidate as many methods as possible
- so that you will have a greater range of choices to utilize; thereby
- further personalizing your tablets to suit you.
-
-
- I. The Lettered Squares
-
-
- 1. John Dee and Edward Kelley
- The only method of colour for the tablets were set forward by an
- Action of June 30, 1584.
- The elemental colours of the quarters were given to Edward Kelley as
- such:
- Air - Red Water - Green
- Earth - Black Fire - White
- This was the only suggestion of colour in the elemental tablets by the
- Dee manuscripts, and no other method was given.
-
-
- 2. The Golden Dawn
- This is the most widely used system of colouring the tablets and is
- fairly uncomplicated.
- In this method, the only squares that are coloured are the Kerubic
- squares and Servient squares located in the four subquadrants of each
- tablet. The rest are left white with black lettering.
- Example of a subquadrant:
-
- ========================
- Kerubic --> :: X : X :: :: X : X :: X = Coloured Square
- ===========--===========
- C. Cross --> :: : : : : ::
- ===========--=========== Blank indicates white
- Servient --> :: X : X :: :: X : X :: square with black letters
- ------------------------
- --> :: X : X :: :: X : X ::
- ------------------------
- --> :: X : X :: :: X : X ::
- ------------------------
- --> :: X : X :: :: X : X ::
- ========================
-
- The attributions are Air - Yellow; Water - Blue; Earth - Black; and
- Fire - Red.
- All the Coloured Squares on a given tablet will be the same colour as
- the element of a tablet. For example, all the coloured squares on the
- Air Tablet will be yellow; for the Earth tablet, black, etc.
- The letters of the Coloured Squares however, are coloured appropriate
- to the element of the subquadrant. That is, in the water subquadrant of
- the Air tablet, the Coloured Squares are yellow, and the letters are
- blue. In fire of Earth, the colour is black with red lettering.
- In the subquadrant corresponding to the element of the tablet itself,
- the colour of the letter is in the complimentary or "flashing" colour of
- the elemental colour. So that air of Air is a Yellow square with purple
- lettering. Since black has no complimentary colour, in earth of Earth
- the lettering would be green in a black square.
- The Colouring Scheme for all the tablets:
-
- Subquad Element Square Letter Subquad Element Square Letter
-
- air of Air Yellow Purple air of Water Blue Yellow
- water of Air Yellow Blue water of Water Blue Orange
- earth of Air Yellow Black earth of Water Blue Black
- fire of Air Yellow Red fire of Water Blue Red
-
- air of Earth Black Yellow air of Fire Red Yellow
- water of Earth Black Blue water of Fire Red Blue
- earth of Earth Black Green earth of Fire Red Black
- fire of Earth Black Red fire of Fire Red Green
-
- The Tablet of Union is left white with black lettering
-
-
- 3. New Aeon
- Some have suggested to go along with the Golden Dawn method except
- instead of using black for earth, to use green since it corresponds
- closer to the New Aeon instead of the Piscean Age. It ties in Set (earth
- - green compliment red) with Horus (fire - red compliment green).
- Everything in the above Golden Dawn chart stays the same, except you
- must change all blacks to green but use black for the complimentary
- colour of earth.
-
-
- II. The Truncticated Pyramids
-
-
- 1. The Golden Dawn Method
- After having worked out the tablets in full (such Crowley's in Liber
- Chanock), the method of colouring is dependent on which attribute a
- pyramid side might have.
-
- All the Enochian letters are in white squares with a red letter.
-
- Elemental Attributes are coloured accordingly:
- Air - yellow with purple symbol; Water - blue with orange symbol;
- Earth - black with white symbol; Fire - red with green symbol;
- Spirit - white with red symbol.
-
- Planetary attributes are coloured in the elemental colour of the
- Triplicity to which the planet rules:
- Saturn and Mercury : Air - yellow with purple symbol
- Mars : Water - blue with orange symbol
- Venus and Moon : Earth - black with white symbol
- Jupiter and Sun : Fire - red with green symbol
-
- Zodiacal attributes are coloured in the elemental colour of the
- Triplicity to which the sign belongs:
- Gemini, Libra, Aquarius : Air - yellow with purple symbol
- Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces : Water - blue with orange symbol
- Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn : Earth - black with white symbol
- Aries, Leo, Saggitarius : Fire - red with green symbol
-
- 2. New Aeon
- This method, again is the same as the Golden Dawn but earth is green
- with red symbol.
-
- 3. Ouroboros Method
- This method is the same as the New Aeon method, but the planetary
- symbols and sides are coloured using the element the planet is attributed
- to:
- Jupiter and Mercury : Air - yellow with purple symbol
- Venus and Moon : Water - blue with orange symbol
- Saturn : Earth - green with red symbol
- Mars and Sun : Fire - red with green symbol
