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
