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
|
|
