The New Age Enochian Tarot

The popular deck of cards knownas the Tarot has been


used for many centuries for divination, fortunetelling and
self-initiation through meditation. The Enochian Tarot is no
different in its purpose than the many other Tarot decks
currently available. However, this 86-card deck is the only
deck that combines the mystery and magical power in-
herent in Enochian Magic.
This book has been carefully written to serve as a quick
and handy reference for anyone who desires to use the
Enochian Tarot Deck for either divination or meditation. It
includes tables and figures for easy comprehension of an
otherwise difficult subject.
Rather than simply presenting yet another deck of
Tarot cards, The Enochian Tarot explains in detail the meaning-
ful correspondences behind the entire structure of the
Enochian Deck. It discusses, for example, the difference be-
tween the 22 Paths on the Qabalistic Tree of Life, after
which traditional Tarot decks are based, and the 30 Aethyrs
of Enochian Magick. (The Enochian deck has 8 extra cards
because there are 8 more Aethyrs than Paths, an inherent
but meaningful difference in the two magical systems.) The
book contains a great deal of detailed information, includ-
ing gematria correspondences and magical formulas for
those who are interested, but it is written so that anyone can
use the deck immediately if so desired.
Enochian Magick is a powerful path to spiritual en-
lightenment. It requires you to look deep within and come
to understand your true nature. This unique system was
revealed to John Dee, court astrologer to Queen Elizabeth I
of England, and his partner Edward Kelly by the Enochian
Angels who inhabit the Watchtowers and Aethyrs of the
subtle regions of the universe. They are thought to be some
of the most powerful angels we can contact.

ABOUT LLEWELLYN’S HIGH MAGICK SERIES

Practical Magick, performed with the aid of ordinary, everyday


implements, is concerned with the things of the Earth and the
harmony of Nature, and is considered to be the magick of the
common people. High Magick, on the other hand, has long been
considered the prerogative of the affluent and the learned. Some
aspects of it certainly call for items expensive to procure and for
knowledge of ancient languages and tongues, though that is not
true of all High Magick. There was a time when, to practice High
Magick, it was necessary to apprentice oneself to a Master Magi-
cian, or Mage, and to spend many years studying and, later, prac-
ticing. Throughout the Middle Ages there were many high dig-
nitaries of the Church who engaged in the practice of High
Magick. They were the ones with both the wealth and the
learning.
High Magick is the transformation of the Self to the Higher
Self. Some aspects of it also consist of rites designed to conjure
spirits, or entities, capable of doing one’s bidding. Motive is the
driving force of these magicks and is critical for success.
In recent years there has been a change from the traditional
thoughts regarding High Magick. The average intelligence today
is vastly superior to that of four or five centuries ago. Minds
attuned to computers are finding a fascination with the mechanics
of High Magical conjurations (this is especially true of the me-
chanics of Enochian Magick).
The Llewellyn High Magick Series has taken the place of the
Mage, the Master Magician who would teach the apprentice.
“Magick” is simply making happen what one desires to happen—
as Aleister Crowley put it: “The art, or science, of causing change
to occur in conformity with will.” The Llewellyn High Magick
Series shows how to effect that change and details the steps
necessary to cause it.
Magick is a tool. High Magick is a potent tool. Learn to use it.
Learn to put it to work to improve your life. This series will help
you do just that.

HOW TO USE THIS BOOK

Divination is a mystical art that is as old as recorded


history. Although many people today practice divination
for fun, it should be remembered that once upon a time
people were burned at the stake for practicing the art.
Divination is not a game. It is a very powerful psychic tool
which is capable of great harm if used ina frivolous manner.
Like fire, divination can be unpredictably destructive if not
handled with intelligence and respect. It is, therefore, im-
perative that you learn to use divination correctly. To facili-
tate this process, we have designed three courses of study: a
Two-Week Beginner’s Course, a Four-Week Advanced
Course, and a Master of Tarot Course.
The Two-Week Beginner’s Course is designed for the
student who has virtually no knowledge of Traditional
Tarot and/or Enochian Magick. This is usually a person
who has exhibited little natural psychic ability in the past,
and thus, has had limited exposure to the psychic sciences.
The course contains a plan of study which will enable the
student to be able to lay a simple spread and then interpret
it within a two-week period. It also lays the foundation for
the material contained in the other two courses. We recom-
mend that all new students of Enochian Tarot complete this
course before advancing to the other lessons.
The Four-Week Advanced Course is designed for those
students who have successfully completed the Two-Week
Course and for those individuals who are familiar with
Enochian Magick and/or the Traditional Tarot. This course
requires some psychic ability, either natural or enhanced
through practice and study (such as the Beginner's Course).
Those individuals wishing to start with this course will have
to double up on learning the meanings of the Enochian
Tarot cards if they wish to complete the course within a
four-week period of time.

2 / Enochian Tarot

The Master of Tarot Course is designed for the indi-


vidual of exceptional psychic ability, either natural or
acquired through practice and study. It consists of magical
rituals to be conducted. This course is aimed for the magi-
cian who desires to be a professional student of Tarot and
should not be undertaken by amateurs and dilettantes. This
course can cause strong karmic repercussions which might
be beyond the powers of a novice to control. Completion of
this course should provide the user with the necessary
knowledge and skills to use the Enochian Tarot system
professionally.
Students of the Master’s Course must first successfully
complete the Two-Week and Four-Week Courses. These
two courses provide the preparatory training needed for
the Master’s Course. It is also advisable to be intimate with
the contents of this book and to understand it completely.
Effective utilization of the Enochian Tarot depends to a
large degree on the user’s ability to harness the tremendous
power of Enochian Magick. This book contains the rudi-
mentary precepts of that magical system. However, as you
progress in your training, you will want to acquire our other
books on Enochian Magick. These books can help you
achieve a greater understanding of the Enochian Universe.
It is not important that you learn each minute detail of
Enochian Magick. Enochian Magick must be comprehend-
ed on a level which can not be verbalized. Trying to de-
scribe the essence of Enochian Magick is much like trying to
explain the essence of a sunbeam. It is not necessary to un-
derstand the technicalities of the sunbeam to appreciate its
wonderful power. The same is true of Enochian Magick.
As you read about the magical system, free your mind
of mundane thoughts so that you can perceive the unwrit-
ten knowledge contained in this book. Enochian Magick is
not a subject like biology. Memorizing long passages will
do little to advance your psychic sensitivity. You will get
How to Use this Book / 3

more out of casually reading a chapter each night before


bed than through hours of dedicated study. Let your mind
set its own pace. Try to refrain from dissecting each para-
graph, page, and chapter. Your mind will absorb the infor-
mation you read without your conscious effort.
Visualization and imagination are important tools of
Enochian Magick. Use these tools to help you grasp the cos-
mic significance of each of the cards in the Tarot deck. As
you study a card, become a part of that card. Visualize your-
self drifting out of your body and into the card. Become a
participant in the action of the card. If the character of the
card is floating above a peaceful lake, imagine yourself
floating along with that character. See what the character
sees. Converse with the character. Come to understand and
appreciate the character’s unique personality, be it malig-
nant or benign. Remember that the universe is a balance of
good and evil, and that both are necessary for our level
of existence.
Meditation is another powerful tool of Enochian Magick.
It is vitally important that the serious student of Tarot learn
to listen to the “still small voice” within. You must learn to
quieten the constant chatter of the conscious so that the
knowledge of the unconscious can shine forth and enlighten
you. This “center of universal knowledge” will be the source
from which you will draw when divining. Without it, your
prognostications will lack consistent accuracy.
Tarot divination is a valuable psychic tool which is
available to anyone who wishes to employ it. Learn to use
the tool well, and it will reveal the universe to you. Play with
its power, and it can devour you like fire.
ORIGIN OF THE TAROT

No one really knows where the Tarot cards originally


came from, but there are many theories. It is well known
that playing cards existed in China during the 11th century.
The early Chinese cards had four suits, but the designs
were unlike the Tarot cards that we know today. One pop-
ular theory says that the Tarot cards were invented by the
mysterious Knights Templar, an ascetic military order
founded in 1188 during the Crusades. Some occultists
claim that the modern Tarot deck began in the East, possibly
Chaldea. Raymond Buckland states that it came from India.
Another popular belief is that the deck was brought into
Europe by Gypsies from Egypt in the 14th and 15th cen-
turies. Yet another tale claims the Tarot was invented by
Jewish mystics to preserve the inner teachings of the
Qabalah.
Whatever the true origin of the Tarot may be, records
exist which show the existence ofa deck of cards in Italy and
France by 1379. In fact, “Tarot” is the French name given to
that pack. The first recorded instance of the 22 major trumps
was in 1415 where a pack was presented to the Duke of
Milan. The 14th-century astrologer, Jacques Gringonneur,
devised what is thought to be the first deck of playing cards.
He presented his deck to Charles VI of France. It was clearly
based on the Tarot deck. Most Tarot decks today are derived
from the Marseilles deck which was designed by the French
scholar, de Gebelin.
According to esoteric tradition, the Tarot is the oldest
book in man’s history. It originated in ancient Egypt as an
attempt to preserve the secret teachings of the priesthood.
According to this tradition, the end of the Egyptian empire
was foreseen by an inner group of the priesthood. In an
attempt to preserve the sacred teachings, the key ideas
were reduced to symbols and drawn on papyrus leaves.
Origin of the Tarot / 5

This “book” then formed a concise summary of the tradi-


tion of ancient Egypt. Some credit the author as Hermes
Trismegistus or the ibis-headed god, Thoth, and call the
original title, The Book of Thoth. Whatever the actual origin,
the pack of Tarot cards is considered a repository of man’s
ancient wisdom, carefully preserved in symbolism and
glyph. The cards were considered to be as useful for medi-
tation as they were for divination.

THE PURPOSE OF THE TAROT

Most people use the Tarot for divination. This was


apparently the main use applied by the Gypsies. Another
common use was for entertainment. In this form the Tarot
was used as a game, possibly as a game of chance, much like
modern poker and other card games. However, a deeper
and more profound use was made by a few others. These
were seekers after truth. They were people who struggled
to learn about themselves and the world around them. For
them the Tarot was not a game but a mirror into which they
could see themselves.
The highest purpose of the Tarot is as a system of self-
initiation or enlightenment. It is a map into the realms of
spiritual bliss. It is a record of man’s relationship with the
cosmos. In short, it is a textbook of occult teachings. The
Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn equates each Tarot
trump with a path on the Qabalistic Tree of Life. In this way
the Major Arcana is asymbolic map of inner space, describ-
ing the highways of consciousness, from the lofty spiritual
heights of divinity, down to the material world of human
beings and matter. Seen in this light, the purpose of the
Golden Dawn Tarot and Enochian Tarot is identical. Although
the “pathways” are slightly different, they take conscious-
ness over the same terrain and allow the user to reach the
same states and stages of consciousness.
In the standard Tarot, only the Major Arcana cards rep-
resent localities in the invisible worlds. Specifically, they
are each a path connecting pairs of the ten Sephiroth on the
Qabalistic Tree of Life. This is shown graphically in Figure
1. In the Enochian Tarot, each card represents a locality;
each of the cards of the Major Arcana represent one of
thirty esoteric regions of inner space called the Aethyrs or
Aires. Each of the cards of the Minor Arcana represent a
deity, or group of deities, who inhabit regions of the four

Great Watchtowers. In Enochian Magick, the five main


regions of the subtle worlds, known collectively as the
Magical Universe, are the four Watchtowers and the Tablet

By using appropriate ritual and meditation tech-


niques, a magician can focus his or her mind on a specific
card, and it will act as a door into the corresponding region
of the invisible worlds. Each card can also serve as a magical
communication link between the magician and the deities
that are pictured on it.
One of the primary purposes of practicing Enochian
Magick is to learn how to visit these out-of-the-body places
and to confront and communicate with those beings who
reside there. The Tarot cards can assist the beginning stu-
dent in this task.

ENOCHIAN MAGICK

History

Enochian Magick was first presented to the public in


modern times by Dr. John Dee, the court astrologer to
Queen Elizabeth I of England. Dee was born in England in
1527 and was a magician as well as an astrologer. Working
with Edward Kelly (sometimes spelled Kelley), his psychic
associate and partner, Dee “discovered” the system of
Enochian Magick. According to Dee’s diary, the magical
system was revealed to him by Angels whom Kelly contact-
ed in the subtle regions which he called the Watchtowers
and Aethyrs. While Kelly conducted the psychic operations
known as “skrying” or “scrying,” Dee kept meticulous
records of everything that occurred. Kelly would look
deeply into a “shewstone” and describe aloud whatever he
saw. Dee, in turn, carefully wrote everything down. The
shewstone of Dee and Kelly is believed to have beena black
crystal about the size of an egg. Although objects such as
water and mirrors can often be used to skry successfully,
the favored material is crystal. Dee is credited with being
one of the first magicians to use a large polished crystal in
the form of a sphere—a crystal ball.
The net result of Dee’s research was a series of tablets
sectioned into squares with runes on each square. These
runes are the letters of the Enochian alphabet. They spell
out the names of those deities who preside over the regions
that are symbolized by the squares. The tablets were thus
devised as maps of the invisible spheres that surround our
physical world. Figures 2 through 5 show the primary
regions, called Watchtowers. There is one Watchtower for
each of the four directions (North, West, East, and South),
and for each of the four elements (Earth, Water, Air, and
11

Fire). The fifth region, above the Watchtowers, is called the


Tablet of Union and is shown in Figure 6. Each of the
Watchtowers can be divided into four subquadrants as
shown in Figure 7. The four Watchtowers and Tablet of
Union surround our physical Earth as shown in Figure 8.
With the help of the Angels, Dee was able to construct a
total of forty-nine Calls or Keys written in Enochian as
follows: the first is totally spiritual and was not put into
words, then eighteen Calls were made for the deities of the
Four Watchtowers of Fire, Air, Water, and Earth, and the
remaining thirty Calls were for the thirty Aethyrs or Aires.
Actually the Calls for the Aethyrs are the same; only the
name of the Aethyr changes. Dee provided an English trans-
lation of these Calls, and thus enough of the Enochian
language has survived to conclude that it is a true language,
probably an ancient one that had died and been forgotten
for centuries.
Little attention was given to Dee’s work until late in the
nineteenth century when it was incorporated by a mys-
terious and highly secret brotherhood of Adepts in England,
who called themselves the Hermetic Order of the Golden
Dawn. This magical order adopted the angelic system created
by Dee and Kelly. They invoked the Enochian deities whose
names were written on the tablets. They also traveled in
their Body of Light (a poetic name for the human aura), into
these subtle regions and recorded their psychic experien-
ces ina rather scientific manner. Many of the original mem-
bers of the Golden Dawn traveled to the squares of the four
Watchtowers: the Watchtower of Fire, the Watchtower of
Air, the Watchtower of Water, and the Watchtower of Earth,
as described in John Dee’s Watchtower Tablets. One mem-
ber, who left the Golden Dawn to found his own magical
order, traveled through each of the 30 Aethyrs. He was the
first person to claim to have entered each of the 30 Aethyrs.
His name was Aleister Crowley, and he carefully recorded
Enochian Magick / 17

his experiences visiting the Aethyrs, in a book called The


Vision and the Voice.

Philosophy

Enochian Magick teaches that Divinity expresses itself


downward from the spiritual world into time, space, and
form ina graduated series of planes and subplanes until the
lowest expression is reached—the physical world in which
we live (see Table 1). These planes are invisible to the five
physical senses, but are nevertheless real. They consist of
five main planes: the four Watchtowers and the Tablet of
Union that unites the four Watchtowers together. Inter-
penetrating these Watchtowers, but separate from them,
are thirty special zones called the Aethyrs or Aires. These
range from TEX, the lowest which interfaces our Earth, up
to the highest, LIL, which interfaces the lofty world of
divinity. The Enochian magician learns to leave his physical
body and travel through these Aethyrs in his Body of Light,
the aura of modern occultism and auric egg of theosophy.
As he does so, he encounters the principles that create and
sustain existence, and thus he learns what life is all about,
and what his purpose in life is to be. He can learn the
“lessons” of manifested existence and free himself from the
forces of karma and reincarnation in a single lifetime. Like
the jivamukti of Vedanta, he becomes liberated while living;
a living embodiment of spiritual knowledge and power.
Such is the goal of Enochian Magick.

CARDS OF THE ENOCHIAN TAROT DECK

The Enochian Tarot deck has 86 cards: 30 cards for the


Major Arcana, and 56 cards for the Minor Arcana as shown
in Table 2.

The Major Arcana has thirty cards; one for each of the
30 Aethyrs. The Qabalistic Tarot, as taught by the Golden
Dawn, contains 22 cards in the major arcana, which are
called the trump cards. Each trump card represents a path
on the Qabalistic Tree of Life as well as a letter of the He-
brew alphabet. The 30 Aethyrs and the Qabalistic Tree of
Life are both maps of the same subtle regions. Although
they vary in details, they constitute a valid structuring of the
subtle planes and subplanes that exist between spirit and
matter. Because the Aethyrs and the Tree of Life have such
striking similarities, it is not surprising to find that the
Aethyrs can also have a divinatory role; they comprise the
Major Arcana of an Enochian Tarot. For this reason, Enochian
Tarot is as viable as the standard Tarot. The 30 Aethyrs, like the
22 paths of the Tree of Life, provide a source of inspiration
that can be used for either divination or meditation.

THE DEITIES

There are many deities in the Watchtowers and Aethyrs


ranging from Kings down to Demons. In general, the names
of the Watchtower deities are all derived from the letters in
the Watchtower Squares. The highest deities are the four
Kings as shown in Table 4.

One of the divisional areas of each subquadrant of


each Watchtower is called a Sephirothic Cross (see Figure
9). Each Sephirothic Cross contains two governing Angels.
Reading downward is the six-lettered name of the Higher
Sephirothic Cross Angel, and across is the five-lettered
name of the Lower Sephirothic Cross Angel. The names of
these Sephirothic Cross Angels are presented in Table 6.

The Squares above the horizontal bar of each Sephi-


rothic Cross are called the Kerubic Squares as shown in
Figure 9. The letters in these Squares spell the names of the
Kerubic Angels. Each of these names are anagramed (the
last letter is moved to the beginning) to form the names of
three more Kerubic Angels for a total of 64 Kerubic Angels.
There are also 64 Archangels. The names of the Archangels
are formed by prefixing a letter (E, H, N or B) from the
Tablet of Union (see Figure 6) to the name of a Kerubic
The Deities / 25

Angel. There are 64 Lesser Angels. Their names are found


from the letters in the four rows beneath the horizontal bar
of each Sephirothic Cross. There are 64 Ruling Lesser
Angels. Their names are found by prefixing a letter (X,A,R,
or P to Air Angels, K,O,M, or A to Water Angels, A,N,T, or A
to Earth Angels, or I,T,O, or M to Fire Angels) from the
Tablet of Union to the name of a Lesser Angel. There are
128 demons. Their names are found from the pairs of letters
under the horizontal bar of each Sephirothic Cross to which
is prefixed a letter from the Tablet of Union. Each of the
names of these Angels and Demons are given in Appendix
B of An Advanced Guide to Enochian Magick.
The Enochian deities form a hierarchy of power and
authority within each Watchtower. From the spiritual to the
material, this hierarchy is shown in Table 7.

It appears from a cursory study that the deities of


Enochian Magick are heavily masculine. Although tradi-
tion holds that the Kings and Seniors are outwardly male,
their nature reveals an even distribution of masculinity and
femininity. This is in keeping with the occult teaching that
all natural things in the universe are symmetrical/polar.
The intelligent forces and creative energies ruling and sus-
taining the universe must express both masculine and fem-
inine characteristics in relatively even amounts. An inspec-
tion of Enochian deities reveals that two of the Kings,
BATAIVAH and EDLPRNAA, are feminine while two,
IKZHIKAL and RAAGIOSL, are masculine. It should be
noted that this is complementary to the sexual natures of
their respective Watchtowers as shown in Table 8.

Table 8
Enochian Sexual Characteristics

King—sex Watchtower—sex
IKZHIKAL—masculine Earth—feminine
RAAGIOSL—masculine Water—feminine
BATAIVAH—feminine Air—masculine
EDLPRNAA—feminine Fire—masculine

In the same way, the six Seniors of each Watchtower


share sexual characteristics so that three are masculine and
three are feminine. However, the Watchtowers themselves
are not individually balancedas shown in Table 9.

Each card of the Enochian Tarot deck has a sexual


current or tone associated with it. Table 9 shows the sexual
currents for the Minor Arcana cards. The preponderance of
a sexual current gives an overall sexual nature to the en-
tire Watchtower.

ARE ENOCHIAN DEITIES REAL?

The cards of the Enochian Tarot Minor Arcana are


composed of the hierarchy of deities found in the four
Watchtowers. These range from Kings all the way down to
Demons. The names and localities of these deities are
derived from the letters in the Squares of the Watchtowers
and Tablet of Union. Each Watchtower is divided into sub-
regions as shown in Figure 9. As shown in Figures 2 through
5, some Watchtower Squares contain multiple letters. The
general rule is to use the first letter. However, this rule does
not always apply. For example, the gematria value of the
name may require using an alternate letter. Also, an alter-
nate letter may give a name that is more melodious to pro-
nounce. There is no right or wrong here, so any of the
letters could be used. In such cases, the deities themselves
are complex, and each possible name defines one of their
aspects.
Enochian deities are those creative and/or destructive
energies and forces, more or less intelligent, located through-
out the invisible worlds that surround our physical Earth.
When an Enochian magician travels through these regions
in his Body of Light (traveling in the subtle body is a special
magical technique taught in most schools of Magick) s/he
will sooner or later confront these beings. Whether they are
subconscious projections from the magician or external in-
dependent entities is debatable. However, magical experi-
ence has shown that results tend to be more favorable when
the magician assumes that they are independent external
beings.
According to modern physics, all reality exists relative
to an inertial reference frame. According to Enochian Ma-
gick, each person is such an inertial reference frame. We all
see reality a little differently, but each is a reality nonethe-
less. The deities of Enochian Magick are real for those
oe)
30 / Enochian Tarot

magicians who encounter them during their operations in


the Watchtowers and Aethyrs, while they are equally unreal
for those who have no such experiences.
If a magician enters a Watchtower and confronts an
Angel, that Angel would appear to be very real to the magi-
cian at the time. Later, after returning to his or her physical
body, the magician could debate the reality or unreality of
the Angel. But as in dreams, the reality of the Angel is real
enough at the time of the experience. If the Angel says
something, the magician will hear it. A friend who stands
outside the circle, or even one who stays within the circle
with the magician, may not hear or see anything. If the
Angel should stab the magician with a sword, the magician
will feel pain and may even display a cut in his or her physi-
cal body owing to the Silver Cord which still connects the
Body of Light to the physical body. Even death is possible.
In this sense, the reality of Enochian deities is unques-
tionable.
Most of us have gone to the theater, and have been so
caught up in the acting that we have temporarily thought it
to be real. A sad movie, for example, will often cause us to
cry. A happy event will make us smile or even laugh.
Movies, plays, and books often make us feel good, or feel
bad. Is a movie real or unreal? To the degree that we give
realism to a movie or a dramatic play, it can affect us. In the
same way, Enochian deities have reality and can affect
the magician.

The gematric numbers of the letters can reveal hidden


correspondences. When letters form words, their gematric
values can be added together to form the gematric value of
the words. Words with equal values share magical charac-
teristics or hidden properties.
These letters form the Language of the Angels. The
creator of this language is unknown to us, being lost in the
mists of forgotten time. The pronunciation is:
Most consonants are followed by “eh” (B is Beh, D is
Deh). Most vowels are followed by “h” (A is Ah, O is Oh). In
general, each letter forms a syllable. The letters Y and I are
interchangeable, as also are V and U, and S and Z. Z can be
pronounced Zod with a long o, or simply Zeh. S is pro-
nounced either “ess” or “seh.” R can be either “reh,” “rah,”
or “ar.” I is pronounced “ee” (TI is Teh-ee or simply Tee).
Another aspect of gematria is Aig Bkr, or the Qabalah
of Nine Chambers, sometimes called Theosophic Addition.
This reduces any number by adding up the digits to forma
new number, and so on until only a single digit remains. For
example, the number 1234 could be reduced to 1 by
(1+2+3+4)=10 and then (1+0)=1. As another example,
the number 345 can be reduced to 3 by (3+4+5) =12 and
then (1+2)=3. Each single number will then have an occult
significance as given in Table 11.

42 / Enochian Tarot

The overall formula for the Enochian Tarot deck can be


explained as (3+2)=5 (Major Arcana + Minor Arcana =
Deck) which signifies that man (5) is the result of a manifes-
tation (3) in duality (2). The cards of the Enochian Tarot
deck are therefore representative of all of those dualistic
forces and energies that comprise our universe. Because
these creative and destructive forces and energies are in-
telligent, they are referred to as deities; the hierarchies of
Enochian Magick.

THE FORMULAS OF ENOCHIAN TAROT

Each card in the Enochian Tarot deck expresses a par-


ticular magical formula. Magical formulas are an expres-
sion of natural motion. They formulate processes which are
often nothing more than special ways of acting in daily life.
These formulas have little to do with divination, but are an
important aspect in using the cards for meditation or self-
improvement.
The formulas are contained in the letters of the names.
The name of the first card, for example, is LIL. This is the
name ofa location, the first and highest of the thirty Aethyrs.
But it is also a formula described by the letters L, land a final
L. The meaning of each of the Enochian letters is contained
in the Table 10 of this book. Table 10 shows that the letter L
corresponds to the Chariot of Cancer and thus has to do
with motion. The letter I corresponds to Temperance/Art
(the traditional association here is Temperance, but Crowley
renamed it Art in his Thoth deck) in Sagittarius and thus
has to do with patience and ability, and the correct timing of
events. The name LIL expresses the formula that all of one’s
motion, which is to say one’s actions, are only done at their
proper times (motion which is centered or focused by tem-
perance). In the same way, the name of each card lends
itself to a particular formula of action which the magician
needs to learn and assimilate. The main formulas of the
Enochian Tarot cards are given below. Formulas for the
Court cards are left as an exercise for the student.

1. LIL. Motion centered by temperance. The magician


has the patience to act only at the proper time and place. All
other action amounts to wasted energy. The motion of this
Formula of the Babe is spontaneous, innocent, and pure.

43
44 / Enochian Tarot

2. ARN. Student and death separated by illusion. This


formula expresses the doctrine that death is an illusion, that
life goes on after physical death—albeit in another form.
The student of Magick learns to see death as an illusion or
maya. This is the Formula of Kali/Babalon and other feminine
goddesses of space and time.

3. ZOM. After initiation and karma comes mastery.


The magician is not only initiated into Magick, but also
learns to deal with his/her own karma in order to become a
Master. Such a magician is called a Magus, and this is the
Formula of the Magus.

4. PAZ. The student gains strength and initiation. The


student gains strength in magical power through the proc-
ess of initiation. This strength allows further initiation
which in turn increases strength and so on. This is the For-
mula of Duality, the cyclic path that leads both inward
and outward.

5. LIT. Temperance between desire and action. The


magician gives thoughtful consideration to his/her desires
before acting on them. This is the Formula of the Arrow in
which action follows will.

6. MAZ. The student initiated by his/her Master. The


student of Magick relies not only on inner strength and
intuition, but also on the guidance of his/her Master. This is
the Formula of Karmaless Action. Action is without karma
because it is selfless.

7. DEO. The fruit of individual effort is karmic. All


action is karmic. Therefore the results obtained by one
magician may not be equally shared by others. This is the
Formula of Love which, depending upon one’s karma, can
The Formulas of Enochian Tarot / 45

be seen in two ways: selfish love and unselfish or altruis-


tic love.

8. ZID. Temperance between initiation and outcome.


Through initiation, the magician gives thoughtful con-
sideration to his/her inner goals and motivations before
they will show satisfactory fruition. The highest initiation is
that which reveals one’s True Will and thus this is the For-
mula of the Holy Guardian Angel. This Angel should be
consulted prior to all major actions.

9. ZIP. Temperance between initiation and desire.


Initiation of the magician tempers his/her personal desires.
The magician, surrounded by all manner of attractive de-
sires, gives thoughtful consideration between one desire
and the next. This is the Formula of the Daughter of Babalon.
This formula must be followed in the higher Aethyrs to pre-
vent being overcome by the intense bliss.

10. ZAX. The student between initiation and Earth.


The student of Magick often finds him/herself confused be-
tween his/her inner Magical Universe and the real world
around him/her. The student of Magick must walk a dan-
gerous path between spirit and matter. This is the Formula
of the Abyss, and must be used to safely traverse the seem-
ing confusion between form and the formless. The rule
here is: do not confuse the planes.

11. IKH. Choice between right and wrong. Judgements


are made between what seems foolish and what seems
reasonable. This is the Formula of the Holy City, or the For-
mula of Free Will. It should be used at any critical turning
point in the path of magick.

12. LOE. Karma between an individual and his/her


actions. Each person acts individually through his/her own
personal karma. Each magician treads his/her own path.
This is the Formula of Compassion where actions must
have no trace of selfishness or egotism.

13. ZIM. Temperance between ability and perfor-


mance. The magician gives thoughtful consideration to
every act before doing it, even when s/he knows that s/he
can do it. It is not always right to perform Magick. The
karma of every situation must be taken into account. This is
the Formula of Service where all actions are devoted to
helping others.

14. VTA. Love of life strengthens the student. The stu-


dent of Magick is strengthened by acquiring a lusty love of
life and a sincere concern for others. This is the Formula of
Attachment and should be used to counter the desire for
unattachment and aloofness that often accompanies yogic
meditation.

15. OXO. Karma made manifest. All physical life is a


manifestation or crystallization of karma. This is the For-
mula of Joy and should be used for all actions involving
physical manifestation.

16. LEA. Student acting independently. The actions of


the student of Magick are his/her own. A student of Magick
who copies the actions of others, even those of his/her beloved
Master, will not progress. This is the Formula of the Higher
Self and is used in all manner of independent actions.

17. TAN. The student between desire and death. The


student of Magick balances himself/herself between the
desire for living and the desire for death. The one should

not overpower the other. This is the Formula of Balance and


is used to counter dualities.

18. ZEN. Initiation of the individual is death. When a


person is initiated into Magick, s/he undergoes a change in
personality. The old self dies to make way for the new. This
is the Formula of Sacrifice and reflects the fact that one must
die in order to live.

19. POP. Strength centered in karma. The magician


realizes that magical power is karmic. S/he strengthens
their ability to conduct Magick by taking karma into account.
This is the Formula of the Silver Star and should be used for
all actions involving change.

20. KHR. Choices between illusions are foolish. The


magician learns that all manifestation in time and space is to
some extent an illusion (in the Eastern sense of maya). Any
attempt to label things as real or unreal is therefore foolish.
This is the Formula of the Wheel and is used to counter the
concept of a fixed destiny or fate.

21. ASP. The student who has love is strengthened.


The student of Magick develops love for him/herself as
well as for others. Love strengthens his/her magical powers
proportionately. This is the Formula of Causation, of life
strengthened by love. When coupled with a sincere love of
life, this formula can lead to an understanding of one’s
origins.

22. LIN. Temperance between action and death. The


magician tempers his/her daily actions with the awareness of
his/her ultimate death. An awareness of one’s transience
heightens one’s love of life and one’s respect for life. This is the
Formula of the Void and should be used to counter egotism.
48 / Enochian Tarot

23. TOR. The strength of an illusion is karmic. The


magician learns that the strength of every illusion is depen-
dent on karma. A magician can increase the likelihood of a
successful operation by being aware of the karma involved.
This is the Formula of Labor and Toil. The path to enlighten-
ment is not easy but requires a great deal of hard work.

24. NIA. The student tempers death. The student of


Magick gives thoughtful consideration to his/her own death.
S/he must understand what death is and confront his/her
own mortality. This is the Formula of Astral Traveling. It
should be used to counter ignorance and to expand one’s
insight. The price for traveling into the Watchtowers and
Aethyrs of Enochian Magick is death.

25. WTI. The love of life strengthens tolerance. The


magician learns to overcome bias and prejudice in every
form. This can be done by cultivating a strong love of, and
respect for, life. This is the Formula of Intuitive Insight. It
should be used to counter all manner of bias and prej-
udice.

26. DES. The individual with love for the spiritual.


Every would-be magician develops a love for spirituality in
order to progress in Magick. This is the Formula of Logic
and Reason. It is used to counter ignorance and irration-
ality.

27. ZAA. The student initiated by another student.


The student of Magick learns from other students. Anyone
can bea guru to one whois ripe for initiation. This is the For-
mula of Sharing and is used to counter a sense of solitude
and loneliness.
The Formulas of Enochian Tarot / 49

Formula of Faith and is used to counter doubt and
despair.

The student of Magick learns to use his/her magical ability
as well as patience to see through illusion. This is the For-
mula of Dream Control. Success leads to interpreting and
controlling dreams.

30. TEX. Individual desires made manifest. Each in-


dividual projects his/her inner desires outward into his/
her world. Sooner or later every inner human desire will be
expressed somewhere in the world. This is the Formula of
Desire and is used to guide one’s desires in the right
direction.

31—37. The Court Cards of Fire are left as an exercise.

38. RNVV. The illusion of death followed by life and


more life. The cycle of life and death is an illusion, maya,
which will cause suffering until it is fully understood. This
is the Formula of Preservation which can be used to counter
all manner of destructive forces.

39. NOOS. The karmic bonding of death and love.


Death and love are closely related in an esoteric sense. They
both imply a letting go, a giving up of self. This is the For-
mula of Formlessness and also the Formula of Altruism.

40. ZDAP. Initiation whose goal is to strengthen the


student. The student of Magick is strengthened by every
initiation. This is the Formula of Purification and is a general
50 / Enochian Tarot

formula of the initiation process.

dent. A single thought can initiate the student who is prop-
erly prepared. ZDAP is a general formula, while BZDAP is
more specific. This is also the Formula of Karmic Retri-
bution.

42. MITO. The Master’s ability and strength are kar-


mic. The magical powers gained by the Magus are the kar-
mic fruits of his/her efforts. This is the Formula of Virtue,
and it is the general formula of karma yoga.

mic. Every conscious action of the student generates karma.
This is the Formula of Change, and it is a general formula for
the Law of Karma.

44. OTIM. The Master confronts karma through ability


and strength. The Magus does not interfere in the karma of
others unless fully aware of all implications and conse-
quences. This is the Formula of Growth that opposes death
and decay.

45—51. The Court Cards of Air are left as an exercise.

52. AILA. Two students joined by right action. Right


action on the part of students of Magick attract them to-
gether. This is the Formula of Harmonious Existence and
should be used for all manner of progressive actions.

another student. Each student of Magick often influences
other students. This is the Formula of Reality. It is a general
formula of karmic influence and can be used to reveal the
The Formulas of Enochian Tarot / 51

truth of things.

54. XRYT. The illusion of manifestation seen with


ability and strength. With ability and strength all manifesta-
tion can be seen to be an illusion or maya. This is the For-
mula of Relationships. Itis a general formula expressing the
relationship of the subjective self and the objective uni-
verse.

55. EXRYT. Individual manifestations of illusion seen


with ability and strength. This is a more specific form of
XRYT and is easier to do successfully. It is the Formula of
Harmony, and it can be used to establish a harmonious
balance between a student of Magick and his/her Magical
Universe.

56. PXAR. The student separating true operations from


illusions. The student of Magick discriminates between
true manifestations and illusions in order to have freedom
from illusions. The is the Formula of Freedom. It isa general
formula for seeing through illusions.

57. AKOA. Two students joined by karmic choices.


The karmic choices and decisions made by students of
Magick will either bring them close together or will serve to
separate them from each other. In either case, they will be
subtly changed accordingly. Because of the resulting subtle
change, this is called the Formula of Sublimation.

58. RAXP. The outward strength of a student is often


an illusion. The student should not fall into the conceit of
thinking s/he is a Master. This is the Formula of Preserving
Sanity and can be used to counter insanity and ig-
norance.
52 / Enochian Tarot

59—65. The Court Cards of Water are left as an exercise.

66. IONM. The Master and his/her ability envelope


karma and death. The Magus, the Master of Magick, has the
ability to control karma and death, at least to an extent. This
is the Formula of Revealing Truth and can be used to coun-
ter deception.

67. AAOO. A student and his/her karma enveloped


within a student and his/her karma. This is the Formula of
Cyclic Motion. This formula expresses the doctrine of
“wheels within wheels.” Everything is relative, and every-
one must relate to everyone else through the Law of Karma
and the doctrine of cycles.

68. NT TM. The Master is prevented from his/her own


death by strength and desire. The desire for life will prevent
death in proportion to its strength. This is the Formula of
Regeneration. It is a general formula for longevity.

69. HNTTM. The Master who seeks to prevent his/her


own death by strength and desire is a fool. Death is a natural
process of life and cannot be by-passed, but only tem-
porarily postponed. This is the Formula of Continuity. It is
the magical formula of the Black Brothers (the color black
relates to the type of Magick and not to race) who seek the
continuity of the human ego.

70. AKOM. The student and Master separated by kar-


mic choices. The difference between a student and a Master
of Magick is that the student is still ignorant while the Mas-
ter has knowledge. Ignorance and knowledge are separated
by choices, each of which have karmic implications and
consequences. The student can become the Master by mak-
ing the right karmic choices. This is the Formula of Pro-
The Formulas of Enochian Tarot / 53

gressive Development and can be used to counter all man-


ner of failures.

71. XTMP. A Master between his/her own strength


and the fulfillment of his/her desires. The strength of the
Magus allows him/her to fulfill all of his/her desires. This is
the Formula of Polarizations. According to this formula, as
strength increases, desire decreases.

72. MOKA. The Master and student separated by kar-


mic choices. The Master can only assist the student to a de-
gree. Progress is up to the karma of the student and the
choices that s/he makes. This is the Formula of Progress
Through Choice. It is a general formula for independent
existence.

73—79. The Court Cards of Earth are left as an exercise.

80. OAAA. Three students drawn together by karma.


Karma will cause certain students of Magick to be drawn
together while excluding others. This is the Formula of Suc-
cessful Action. This formula expresses the intelligent or-
dering of the universe.

of the student of Magick should be guided by love. Here
love implies both an altruistic love of others and a joyous
love of life. This is the Formula of Abundance. It is a general

82. IBPR. The ability to produce strong thought forms.


Thoughts have shapes and colors in the Watchtower of Air.

and cause these thought-forms to affect the minds of others.
This is the Formula of Formation and can be used to create
54 / Enochian Tarot

all manner of powerful thought-forms.

83. NIBPR. The ability to produce strong illusions out


of nothing. This is the formula for the precipitation of astral
thought-forms into physical manifestation. In this formula,
death or “nothing” is itself only another illusion. This is the
Formula of Creative Expression and can be used for all
manner of precipitations.

84. AANT. A student’s inner desires affect another stu-


dent. This is the general formula for collective karma. The
thoughts of each human mind reach out and affect other
minds. This unconscious sharing of karmic propensities
maintains order and organization in society. This is the For-
mula of Organization and can be used to counter the forces
of chaos.

85. MAOO. The student between his/her karma and


his/her Master. The student of Magick can use his/her Mas-
ter to alleviate his/her karmic burden. Trust in the Master
rather than in oneself will generally lead to the best results.
This is the Formula of Healing, and can be used for all man-
ner of healings.

86. TNAA. Two students joined by the desire for death.


This formula expresses the negative side of the general for-
mula for collective karma. Karma, both good and bad, is
shared by those whose thinking tends to interface. This for-
mula explains why hundreds can die together in a plane
crash or in war. This is the Formula of Protection From Evil,
and can be used to counter all manner of evil or discord-
ant forces.

TAROT CARD MEANINGS
FOR THE MAJOR ARCANA

MAJOR ARCANA
Card No. 1
Title: The Babe, the First Aethyr
Name: LIL (El-ee-el)
Gematria: 76= (7+6) =13= (1+3) =4
Sexual Current: masculine

Description: The card depicts a boy baby wrapped ina


blue blanket. This is the Babe in Blue, a symbol for the auric
egg and the monadic essence of man. LIL is the highest
Aethyr, and thus the first card in the Enochian Tarot deck.
Along the top of the card is a roof, symbolic of the Ring-
Pass-Not that lies at the top of this Aethyr. The roof is
decorated with symbols for infinity because although this
marks the end of existence as we know it, infinity implies
that this end is actually the beginning of another universe
or of another form of existence. LIL is the highest stage of
the human spirit, and the highest, most perfect stage con-
ceivable to consciousness. Above the Ring-Pass-Not are the
indescribable realms of divinity. There we are each a monad
—an indivisible unit. Below this barrier, in the first Aethyr,
LIL, the monad splits in half. It includes a subjective por-
tion, the I or Self, and an objective portion, the Not-I or
World. Thus duality is inherent in all things from LIL
downward into manifestation. In LIL, consciousness is
focused on the Self as one with the World.
Meaning: Purity, completeness, satisfaction, whole-
ness, innocence.
Meaning When Reversed: Desire, incompleteness, im-
purity, immaturity, foolishness.

Card No. 2
Title: Babalon, the Second Aethyr
Name: ARN (Ah-ren)
Gematria: 156= (1+5+6) =12= (1+2) =3
Sexual Current: feminine

Description: The second Aethyr, ARN, is the home of


BABALON, the chief goddess of Enochian Magick. She is
shown sitting naked (no longer clothed or hidden, but seen
directly) on herthrone. Above her is the symbol for the Sun
and Moon conjoined. Her throne room is red-hued, and the
atmosphere is charged with desire—one of her chief charac-
teristics. ARN is an area of intense bliss or ecstasy for that
consciousness which can rise to it. The name BAB-ALON
means “the attraction of sound.” Here “sound” is identical
to the “shabda” of tantricism, and the Voice of the Silence of
occultism and theosophy. BABALON is the creative fre-
quency of the universe. Relative to our human mind, she
personifies the ananda or bliss that accompanies spiritual
states of consciousness. The name is pronounced Bah-bah-
loh-en, in four distinct syllables. The Enochian word trans-
lates as “evil” or “wicked.” This goddess is evil only in the
sense that maya, the illusion of manifested matter as taught
in Buddhism, is evil. The goddess BABALON seeks to turn
our attention outward into the world, rather than inward
into the truth of ourselves. She is sometimes called The
Great Harlot because she accepts all who enter into her do-
main, where she will unite with them in a blissful oneness.
In ARN, consciousness is focused on the World as one with
the Self.
Meaning: Intense bliss, intense joy, worldly happi-
ness, a harmonious outcome.
Meaning When Reversed: Intense pain, intense suf-
fering, intense discord.

Card No. 3
Title: The Magus, the Third Aethyr
Name: ZOM (Zoh-em, or Zoad-oh-em)
Gematria: 129= (1+2+9) =12=(1+2) =3
Sexual Current: masculine

Description: The Magus represents the highest attain-


ment of magical power and knowledge. He is one who can
completely control himself and his life. In the card he is
shown holding a Dagger in his right hand and a wooden
Staff in his left hand. Supported by his Staff, the Dagger
allows the Magus to cut through all of the illusions that sur-
round him. The many faces that surround the Magus repre-
sent the possibilities available to him at this lofty spiritual
level. In ZOM, the Magus can express himself in his world
consciously and with full self-control. In the third Aethyr,
ZOM, consciousness focuses on the relationship between
the subjective Self and the objective World. The World is
seen as a projection from the Self, and therefore under its
direct control. The Magus is sometimes called the Maker of
Illusions, because of his powerful ability to create self-
expressions. However, he is also the Destroyer of Illusions
and has the power to see through any illusion to the truth
that lies behind it.
Meaning: Great creativity, complete control of self
and surroundings, full mastery over any situation.
Meaning When Reversed: Destruction, bondage to
something, lack of control, lack of will power.

Card No. 4
Title: Cosmos and Chaos, the Fourth Aethyr
Name: PAZ (Pah-zeh, or Pah-zoad)
Gematria: 24= (2:4) =6
Sexual Current: both masculine and feminine

Description: This Aethyr contains the separation of


cosmos (Kosmos) from chaos (Kaos). Cosmos is represent-
ed by a young, beautiful, fair-skinned blonde woman. Chaos
is a dark and older male of fierce and terrible mean. They
are both shown naked, because at this stage they are reveal-
ing their true selves to each other. The primal god and god-
dess struggling together represent the original creation of
our universe. The card also depicts the original separation
of the polar forces of duality that characterizes our universe
in one sense, and their ultimate reunion in another sense.
All manifestation below PAZ is clearly dualistic. The wom-
an is also love, and the man is will. In this sense the card
depicts the magical maxim of “love under will.” In PAZ,
consciousness focuses on the Self and the World together
as two different things. This ultimate duality gives rise to
the Cosmic Planes of Manifestation. PAZ is the source of all
sexual currents that can be found throughout the Watch-
towers and Aethyrs of Enochian Magick.
Meaning: Good relationships, attraction of opposites,
lovers, the union of two into one.
Meaning When Reversed: Bad relationships, repul-
sion of opposites, enemies, the separation of one into
two.

MAJOR ARCANA
Card No. 5
Title: The Arrow of Truth, the Fifth Aethyr
Name: LIT (El-ee-teh)
Gematria: 77= (7+7) =14= (1+4) =5
Sexual Current: feminine

Description: The card of LIT contains the Arrow of


Truth along the top. This arrow is in three parts: the barb,
the shaft, and the feathering. These symbolize the three
major aspects of divinity: existence, consciousness, and
bliss (the sat-cit-ananda of Hinduism). The card shows a
high hill with several different avenues of pillars leading
upward to the summit. At the top of each pillar is a deity or
religious founder except for the pillar at the very top which
is empty. The meaning of this symbolism is that there is no
supreme deity, although if we look hard at all of the many
gods and goddesses who abound in theology we might be |
tempted to assume that sucha supreme deity existed. LIT is
situated in a spiritual region where the sense of an infinite
series of hierarchies precludes the possibility of any ending
anywhere. The entire universe is composed of an endless
series of hierarchies. A strong sense of eternity and infinity
permeate the atmosphere of LIT.
Meaning: Truth, outcome, success, the right path, a
lack of barriers, a sense of freedom.
Meaning When Reversed: Error, failure, the wrong
path, a sense of limitation.

Card No. 6
Title: The Urn, the Sixth Aethyr
Name: MAZ (Mah-zeh, or Mah-zoad)
Gematria: 105= (1+0+5) =6
Sexual Current: masculine

Description: This card shows the Urn of MAZ which is


a magical temple. The Urn holds the ashes of the karmic
debts of any magician who can enter here. The Urn floats in
the air above a well of water. Around the well sit three
Adepts wearing hooded robes: one in white, one in yellow,
and one in black. These represent the three main ways of
viewing the world. The yellow-robed Adept is one who is
neutral with regard to his environment. It has no effect on
him. The black-robed Adept reacts negatively to his sur-
roundings. He rejects it all as illusion or as sorrow. The
white-robed Adept reacts positively to his environment.
He is joyous and sees all as a delight. These three Adepts
represent the consciousness-existence-bliss aspects of di-
vinity. MAZ is situated in a high spiritual region which can
burn out the personal karma of any magician who can con-
sciously enter there. It also offers a choice—you must choose
which of the three types of Adepts that you would like
to become.
Meaning: Creative power, action without karmic
burden.
Meaning When Reversed: Destructive power, action
with a high karmic burden.

Card No. 7
Title: Love, the Seventh Aethyr
Name: DEO (Deh-oh)
Gematria: 44= (4+4) =8
Sexual Current: feminine

Description: This card shows Venus, the goddess of


Love. She is also Sakti, the goddess of creative energy. She
is naked because she has nothing to hide from her devotees
who join her here. Her flaming red hair hints of her fiery
nature. To all of her devotees who join her in this Aethyr,
she says, “I ama harlot for such as ravish me, and a virgin
with such as know me not.” At her feet are camps of black-
robed Adepts who are blinded by the atmosphere of this
Aethyr. They sit and stare aimlessly into their campfires.
These are the Black Brothers.* These Adepts equate love
with self-love and are prone to spiritual selfishness. They
have forsaken altruism, and have lost the desire to help
others. The theme of DEO is the duality of love for self and
love for others. Which of the two groups of Adepts you will
someday join depends on how yousee love. Do you believe
that other people truly exist, or do you believe others to be’
an illusion, part of the universal maya? Should you help
others, or allow them to help themselves? Would you lay
down your life for a friend? Turn your cheek for an enemy?
Do you recognize friends and enemies to be two sides of
a duality?
Meaning: Love of others, altruism, charity, freedom, a
helping hand.
Meaning When Reversed: Love of self, conceit, restric-
tion, lack of assistance.

*Black refers to their type of Magick, not their race.

Card No. 8
Title: The Holy Guardian Angel, the Eighth Aethyr
Name: ZID (Zee-deh, or Zoad-ee-deh)
Gematria: 73= (7+3) =10=(1+0) =1
Sexual Current: masculine

Description: This card shows the Holy Guardian Angel


that the magician will confront and converse with in this
Aethyr. This mysterious figure is none other than the Higher
Self or genius. This Angel will show one who confronts
him, his or her True Will. He stands on the Path of Spiritual
Progress and blocks further advancement until his knowl-
edge and conversation is complete. He holds an eternal
flame in his left hand to bestow the power of continuous
awareness, and a Wand in his right hand to bestow magical
authority. The Knowledge and Conversation of the Holy
Guardian Angel is the most important invocation of a Eno-
chian magician. Often many years are spent in preparation
for this ordeal. ZID is the spiritual region that contains your
inner Self. Although you will feel this inner spark of divinity
in the lower Aethyrs, only in ZID will you confront this
powerful Being directly. The Holy Guardian Angel is slightly
clothed because even at this lofty spiritual level, your true
spiritual Self cannot be seen completely and totally without
some distortion. Each person will see his own Holy Guard-
ian Angel in asomewhat different way. Also, his appearance
may change a little as we gain experience.
Meaning: Truth, identity, reality, the True Will, mas-
culinity (lover or husband).
Meaning When Reversed: Unreality, deception, mas-
culinity (boy or youth).

Card No. 9
Title: The Daughter of Babalon, the Ninth Aethyr
Name: ZIP (Zee-peh, or Zoad-ee-peh)
Gematria: 78= (7+8) =15= (1+5) =6
Sexual Current: feminine

Description: The card of ZIP depicts the Garden of


Babalon which is located not far from the stone palace
known as the Philosopher’s Stone, or Palace of the King’s
Daughter. Within this garden is the Daughter of Babalon or
the Virgin of Eternity. She embodies the strong feminine
current that pervades this Aethyr. She is shown naked
because she reveals her true self to anyone who can con-
sciously enter this Aethyr and confront her. ZIP lies just
above the Great Outer Abyss of ZAX, and is therefore
beyond words to truly describe. The ecstasy encountered
here is a foretaste of that which can be experienced in ARN.
The Daughter of Babalon who resides in ZID is also the
creative goddess Kundalini of Tantra. ZID is located on the
lowest subplane of the spiritual plane, the plane of Spirit
represented in Enochian Magick by the Tablet of Union. Itis
just beyond the ability of the human mind to conceptualize.
It is region of great harmony, beauty, and peace.
Meaning: Bliss, ecstasy, femininity (maiden), a peace-
ful outcome.
Meaning When Reversed: Pain, discord, femininity
(crone or witch), a violent outcome.

MAJOR ARCANA
Card No. 10
Title: The Abyss, the Tenth Aethyr
Name: ZAX (Zah-tz or Zoad-ahtz)
Gematria: 415= (4+1+5) =10=(1+0) =1
Sexual Current: both masculine and feminine

Description: The tenth Aethyr, ZAX, is the location of


the Great Outer Abyss. The Abyss separates the spiritual
formless planes of our universe from the lower planes of
form. It represents a Ring-Pass-Not for the human mind.
Although magicians of high ability can cross this area safely,
the Abyss is closely guarded by the Archdemon KHORON-
ZON who is shown in the card. The nature of KHORON-
ZON is such as to prevent any human being from passing
by him. Entering the Abyss is equivalent to entering the
Nirvana of Buddhism; it represents an annihilation of the
human ego. It is said that KHORONZON will tear out the
heart of anyone who tries to pass through his domain. This
means that our own humanity will not let us pass into the
spiritual realms beyond the Abyss. The Abyss is a region of
swirling forces. On the one hand, it breaks up aggregates
that rise up from below into their component parts. On the
other hand, it builds up monadic parts that descend from
above into aggregates. The Great Outer Abyss of ZAX is a
bridge between two worlds; the spiritual and the material.
This is symbolized in the card by the Archdemon strad-
dling two parallel but separated surfaces between which is
a bottomless Abyss.
Meaning: Confusion, incoherence, madness, insanity,
subconscious control.
Meaning When Reversed: Order, structure, rationality,
conscious control.

Card No. 11
Title: The Holy City, the Eleventh Aethyr
Name: IKH (Ee-keh)
Gematria: 361= (3+6+1) =10=(1+0) =1
Sexual Current: masculine

Description: This card shows the Holy City, the last


inhabitable location on this side of the Great Outer Abyss.
The Holy City is the highest state conceivable to the human
mind. The entire Aethyr is pervaded by an atmosphere of
tension. The proximity of the Abyss gives the feeling of
being on a precipice. The card shows a massive fortress,
with bulwarks, stockades, and entrenchments. These de-
fenses keep the demons of the Abyss in check. The region is
largely defensive in nature. Magick is defined as a tendency
to change and in this sense, the Holy City is truly a magical
city. Cosmic forces of creativity pour over the city like a
brisk wind (symbolized in the card by the waving pen-
nants). IKH is located on the highest subplane of the causal
plane or upper mental plane, at the top of what Enochian
Magick calls the Watchtower of Fire.
Meaning: Anticipation, tension, hope, expectation,
readiness, the use of careful and deliberate preparation.
Meaning When Reversed: Fear, surprise, lack of
preparation.

Card No. 12
Title: Glory, the Twelfth Aethyr
Name: LOE (Loh-eh)
Gematria: 48= (4+8) =12=(1+2) =3
Sexual Current: feminine
Description: This card shows a charioteer in golden
armor holding aloft in his left hand the golden Cup of
Babalon. The charioteer is the magician who can con-
sciously travel through the inner spaces of the Aethyrs and
arrive safely at this lofty region. A crab is painted on the
chariot to emphasize the connection with the Zodiac sign,
Cancer. The Cup of Babalon holds the Wine of Compas-
sion, which is sometimes called the Blood of the Saints. A
long line of Black Brothers* is shown. They walk single file
without life or creativity from the foreground into the dis-
tant background. In the background, high in the air, is
shown a naked woman riding a winged horse. This is a form
of Babalon and the Beast. Babalon is the chief goddess of
Enochian Magick and this card depicts the Mystery of
Babalon. The Beast is that ability of consciousness to look
directly at Babalon and see her as she really is. It is con-
sciousness that can travel through the inner and outer
regions of time and space. Babalon is shown naked to indi-
cate that her true nature has been revealed or disclosed.
The winged horse is identical to the winged globe of the
ancient Egyptians. The winged horse and chariot both sug-
gest consciously directed motion. The central theme in
LOE is sacrifice, especially any type of sacrificial motion.
LOE contains the Hierarchy of Compassion, a large group
of dedicated individuals who have devoted themselves to
helping others, and their complement, those Black Brothers
who for one reason or other have forsaken their fellowman.
Meaning: Compassion, love, sacrifice, dedication to others.
Meaning When Reversed: Egoism, egoity, seduction, conceit.
*The color black refers to their Magick, not their race.

Title: The Garden of NEMO, the Thirteenth Aethyr
Name: ZIM (Zodee-meh, or Zee-meh)
Gematria: 159= (1+5+9) =15= (1+5) =6
Sexual Current: both masculine and feminine

Description: This card shows a white-robed man tend-


ing a garden on the slopes of a mountain with his castle in
the background. The man is a great spiritual leader called
NEMO. He represents the Great White Brotherhood.* The
“garden” is the Earth, and the fruits of the labors of NEMO
are the followers of the spiritual path. The NEMO of Eno-
chian Magick is identical to the Great Sacrifice of the mod-
ern Theosophical movement. The name NEMO can be pro-
nounced Neh-moh, and means “Master of the Temple.” He
is the Silent Watcher of mankind. His task is to watch over
humanity until a spiritual successor is found. Only then can
he leave and move on to other things. In effect, he willingly
sacrifices his own progress in order to help others, and thus
is identical to the bodisattva of Mahayana Buddhism.
Meaning: Service, duty, love, compassion, respon-
sibility, dedication to duty.
Meaning When Reversed: Selfishness, irrespon-
sibility, hate, egoity.

*The color white is a symbol of the type of Magick used and does not refer to
race.

Title: The City of the Pyramids, the Fourteenth Aethyr
Name: VTA (Veh-tah)
Gematria: 85= (8 +5) =13= (1+3) =4
Sexual Current: masculine

Description: This card shows a hillside lined with dark


pyramids, the City of the Pyramids. Each pyramid of this
city is the remains of an Adept who has burnt out of himself
all love of life. These are the yogis and magicians who have
renounced life. They have no desire left in them, yet they
still cling to ego. The pyramid was a tomb for kings in
ancient Egypt, but it was also a place of initiation for the
priesthood. The symbology is associated with the occult
connection between death and initiation. Both involve the
ending of the past and making a new beginning. The resi-
dents of VTA are yogis who have attained the state of non-
attachment. They no longer feel responsible for their fellow-
man. The atmosphere of the card suggests a plastic or
metallic sterility. There is neither life nor desire for life in
this Aethyr. The power to enter into the City of the Pyramids
and return at will bestows a special magical title—Lord of
the City of the Pyramids.
Meaning: Detachment, egoity, selfishness, uncaring,
no desire, aloofness, apathy, a strong sense of indepen-
dence.
Meaning When Reversed: Attachment, desire, con-
cern, compassion, a sense of dependence.

Title: The Cosmic Dance, the Fifteenth Aethyr
Name: OXO (Oh-tzoh)
Gematria: 460= (4+6+0) =10=(1+0) =1
Sexual Current: feminine

Description: This card shows the personification of the


Dance of Life. A young, beautiful, naked goddess dances on
the Earth under the stars. She holds a rose in her right hand
and across in her left hand. The rose is asymbol for femininity
while the cross represents masculinity (for this reason the
Rosy Cross is a symbol for sex magick). The atmosphere
here is charged with joy, the love of life. The Enochian word
OXO means “dance” and the idea of joyous dancing per-
meates this Aethyr. This dance is identical to the lila of Hin-
duism, and is a creative expression of the Music of the
Spheres. The world shown in the card is our universe, a
single song that somehow contains within itself all the
notes needed for a myriad of manifested sounds. The mes-
sage of OXO is that all life is an endless cyclic expression in
time and space. The ultimate purpose of life is to live.
Meaning: Joy, happiness, dances, songs, music.
Meaning When Reversed: Sorrow, pain, suffering,
discord.

Title: The Higher Self, the Sixteenth Aethyr
Name: LEA (Eleh-ah, or Leh-ah)
Gematria: 24= (2+4) =6
Sexual Current: feminine

Description: This card shows a king standing on a


narrow path that winds around the side of a mountain. He
holds a staff in his left hand and a Cup in his right hand. He
represents the King of the Past and his kingdom is gone. He
has been overtaken by the future. His death is imminent
because the way ofall things is for the old to give way to the
new. In the background a naked woman rides a bull (this is
a reflex of Babalon and the Beast which is seen more clearly
in LOE). They are approaching the king from behind and
they represent a new and unexpected order of things. LEA
is located on the lowest subplane of the causal plane or
upper mental plane at the bottom of the Watchtower of Fire.
In LEA, your spiritual consciousness and magical abilities
will seem to be out of control, like an unruly beast, full of
promise for the future but as yet undeveloped. It will be
enticed by the alluring illusions of Babalon that abound
here. LEA is filled with the anticipation of death on the one
hand (symbolized by a cliff), and new life on the other
(symbolized by a mountain). Everything here is in constant
change. The message here is that life consists of a series of
birth-death events, one following the other without con-
ceivable end.
Meaning: Change for the better, a strong spiritual
impulse, foreknowledge, an adjustment is made.
Meaning When Reversed: Change for the worse, a
strong material impulse, lack of adjustment, a failure to
control the situation, seduction.

Title: The Balance, the Seventeenth Aethyr
Name: TAN (Tah-en, or Tah-neh)
Gematria: 65= (6+5) =11= (1+1) =2
Sexual Current: both masculine and feminine

Description: This card shows the Great Balance of


TAN. This Balance consists of two golden pans resting on
the apex of a golden pyramid. The signs Leo, Taurus, and
Scorpio (corresponding to the letters of the word TAN) are
engraved on the facing side of the pyramid. Above the
Balance is the sign of the Sun and Moon conjoined, sym-
bolizing the joining together of all polar opposites (this
symbol is also in ARN). The Balance of TAN represents the
harmonizing forces of karma which always seek to pre-
serve justice. TAN is located on the highest subplane of the
lower mental plane at the top of the Watchtower of Air. The
Law of Karma acts on all of the Cosmic Planes of Manifesta-
tion, but the mechanics of this great law can be seen most
clearly in TAN. The karmic Balance of Tan has two pans. In
ancient Egypt, sucha balance was used to weigh the heart of
a candidate for initiation. The Egyptian balance was operated
by the dog-headed god, Anubis, and the results were record-
ed by the ibis-headed god of wisdom, Thoth, and then
taken to Osiris for judgement. The central idea behind all of
the symbolism is that the candidate for initiation had to
have a karmic burden that was lighter than a feather. The
region of TAN is where your karmic burden will be weighed
and made known to you.
Meaning: Morality, ethics, justice, harmony, balance,
righteousness, good karma, a good outcome.
Meaning When Reversed: Immorality, discord, im-
balance, bad karma, a bad outcome.

Title: The Vault, the Eighteenth Aethyr
Name: ZEN (Zod-en, or Zen)
Gematria: 69= (6+9) =15= (1+5) =6
Sexual Current: masculine

Description: This card shows the King’s Chamber in


the Great Pyramid of Cheops. It is a stone vault. The only
thing in the vault is a lidless stone sarcophagus used for
initiation rites. The sarcophagus symbolizes the sacrifice
that is made by the divine Son of the Sun, who leaves his
pleasant home in the spiritual realms for the suffering
world of mankind in order to help others. ZEN expresses
the idea that life is a series of sacrifices. The food that we eat
was once the bodies of living beings who sacrificed their
lives (willingly or unwillingly) that we may live. The child
must be sacrificed in order to give birth to the adult. The
personality must be sacrificed to give rise to the individuality.
All real growth isa process of initiatory sacrifices. ZEN con-
tains the Vault in which a candidate for the grade of Magis-
ter Templi must lie for three days and three nights. This
symbolizes the sacrifice needed by the lower parts of man’s
constitution in order for the higher and spiritual parts to
become realized.
Meaning: A necessary sacrifice, crucifixion, selfless-
ness, a strong desire to help others even at the risk of per-
sonal harm.
Meaning When Reversed: Desire for personal safety,
rest, selfishness, a chance to progress spiritually is missed.

Title: The Priestess of the Silver Star, the Nineteenth
Aethyr
Name: POP (Poh-peh)
Gematria: 48= (4+8) =12= (1+2) =3
Sexual Current: feminine

Description: This card shows the goddess Isis in her


role as the Priestess of the Silver Star. She is golden-haired
with blue eyes and large wings. She wears alight blue gown
with gold sandals shaped like lunar disks. The buckle of her
belt flares like the Sun. She holds a torch (the Torch of
Penelope) in her left hand and a Cup (the Cup of Circe) in
her right hand. She stands with one foot on green grass and
one foot on dry desert to show her mastery of life and death.
She is robed to indicate that most of her nature remains hid-
den or occult. Most visitors to this region will see only a
reflected image of Isis which will be highly dependent on
their own belief system. POP is a region of initiation. The
struggle of life and death is strong here, and must be fully
mastered. The Priestess of the Silver Star is the goddess Isis
in her initiatory role. The name Isis means “goddess of the
Throne” where the throne is a symbol of a strong seat of
power. The Priestess of the Silver Star, the Goddess of
Magick, will initiate anyone who comes before her in sin-
cerity and in truth into the ways of magical power.
Meaning: Life, a deliberate and controlled change,
struggle for progress.
Meaning When Reversed: Death, stagnation, lack of
progress, peace.

Title: The Wheel, the Twentieth Aethyr
Name: KHR (Keh-har)
Gematria: 401= (4+0+1)=5
Sexual Current: both masculine and feminine

Description: This card suggests the great Wheel of Life.


Two pyramids are shown within a spiral of Earths. The
outer pyramid is yellow and forms the sign for the element
Air. The sign of Pisces, two encircling fish (a Water sign),
are engraved on the inner pyramid which is red and forms
the sign of the element Fire. Thus the center of the card con-
tains the four elements: Earth, Water, Air, and Fire. KHR
contains the masculine energy of Jupiter combined with
the feminine energy of Juno. The message of this Aethyr is
the cyclic nature of our universe. The atmosphere here is
both deceptive and seductive. It seduces with promises of
pleasure and amusement. It deceives by its desire to be
taken seriously. You must learn to see both sides of the
revolving universe; the mayavic illusions which perpetuate
bondage and false identifications, and the joyous expressions
of love and beauty that exist in form and color.
Meaning: Cyclic nature, cycles, spirals, a repetition of
an event, fate, destiny.
Meaning When Reversed: Uniqueness, unequal, odd,
different, one of a kind, luck, a chance event.

Title: The Reincarnating Ego, the Twenty-First Aethyr
Name: ASP (Ah-seh-peh)
Gematria: 22= (2+2) =4
Sexual Current: masculine

Description: This card shows the Avenue of Pillars, a


straight, slightly inclined road between two massive rows
of stone pillars, which lead upward. At the end of the
Avenue of Pillars is the king of this region who is sitting on
his heavy stone throne. The king represents the Reincarna-
ting Ego or causal body of man. Knowledge of this king can
result in the magical memory wherein past lives are re-
membered. The theme of ASP is the directed will toward a
specific purpose or goal. The king that you will meet in ASP
is your own Reincarnating Ego. It is that part of yourself that
takes on manifestation into the lower realms of existence in
order to express itself in time, space, and form. The human
personality is transient. It began as a baby after birth, and
will disintegrate on the astral plane after death of the physi-
cal body (it sometimes dies before physical death in dis-
eases such as amnesia and Alzheimer’s). The Ego sends out
a new personality at each birth, and assimilates the essence
or aroma of each personality after death. In this way, the
Ego grows as it learns its “lessons” from a long series of
life experiences.
Meaning: Cause, purpose, meaning, a causal or crea-
tive force.
Meaning When Reversed: Desolation, emptiness, fu-
tility, lack of motive.

Title: The Void, the Twenty-Second Aethyr
Name: LIN (El-ee-en, or Lee-neh)
Gematria: 118= (1+1+8) =10=(1+0) =1
Sexual Current: feminine

Description: This card shows a dark greenish moun-


tain which leads upward into an obscuring cloud. Within
the cloud is a giant eye. The eye in the cloud symbolizes a
heightened awareness, a spiritualized consciousness, such
as the high yogic state of samadhi. LIN is associated with a
high or altered state of consciousness in which form meets
the formless, and vice versa. It represents the first direct
experience of spirituality as consciousness rises upward
from its physical vehicle. There is a rapture to LIN that can
hold the unwary spellbound with no thought of time. The
exalted state of consciousness known as samadhi has sev-
eral stages. In LIN you will encounter the first stage. Essen-
tially, it is the withdrawing of consciousness from its lower
vehicles or bodies until a stage of formlessness is encoun-
tered. This formless state appears as infinite space. However,
this is not the formless consciousness associated with coma
or deep sleep, because it is permeated with an acute aware-
ness. The cloud symbolizes the new viewpoint obtained in
LIN wherein normal appearances have disappeared or
been obscured.
Meaning: Meditation, spirituality, harmonious ideas,
music, transcendence, a new insight.
Meaning When Reversed: Thoughts, solidification,
manifestation, a crystallization of ideas.

Title: Labor, the Twenty-Third Aethyr
Name: TOR (Toh-rah)
Gematria: 139= (1+3+9) =13= (1+3) =4
Sexual Current: masculine

Description: This card shows a host of workers, dif-


ferent types of laborers, building a huge stone wall. The
work is being conducted in an orderly fashion as shown by
the long line of workers carrying various construction ma-
terials. A bull, symbol of energy, pulls a cart of material
across the foreground. The theme in TOR is the work that is
required to sustain the universe. The atmosphere of TOR is
heavy and serious. There is work to be done, and no time
for frivolous activities. TOR is located on the lowest sub-
plane of the lower mental plane at the beginning of the
Watchtower of Air. It is the region of the World Sustainer,
the principle of causation. Those in TOR maintain and sus-
tain the Earth. Because matter and spirit are directly related,
the source of energy in TOR is practically infinite; matter
and energy are interchanged in both directions, as needed.
Meaning: Energy, force, labor, toil, work, success
through hard work.
Meaning When Reversed: Lack of energy, gaiety, fri-
volity, sloth, idleness, laziness.

Title: Travel, the Twenty-Fourth Aethyr
Name: NIA (Nee-ah)
Gematria: 116= (1+1+6) =8
Sexual Current: both masculine and feminine

Description: This card shows a woman with golden


hair and skin driving a chariot pulled by a winged horse
across the sky. Below the chariot is the Earth. Above is a
vaulted sky which represents a barrier through which the
chariot cannot pass. This is the Ring-Pass-Not that stands at
the border between Water and Air. NIA is the highest stage
possible for the astral body. It is located on the highest sub-
plane of the astral plane at the top of the Watchtower of
Water. The chariot represents motion through both time
and space. In order to travel astrally in your Body of Light,
you must die to your personality and physical body. Enter-
ing NIA is therefore similar to dying (death and initiation
have always been closely associated). The atmosphere of
NIA is permeated with a sense of joy.
Meaning: Travel, movement, freedom, a successful
trip.
Meaning When Reversed: Limitation, restriction, con-
finement, an unsuccessful trip.

Title: Intuition, the Twenty-Fifth Aethyr
Name: VTI (Veh-tee)
Gematria: 139= (1+3+9) =13= (1+3) =4
Sexual Current: feminine

Description: This card shows a large rock rising up in


the midst of a swirling and troubled sea. On the rock, ready
to either ascend or descend, is a winged Angel who rep-
resents the intuition of man. The theme of VTI is that of the
intuition which occasionally rises up out of the troubled
waters of the intellect in order to perceive the truth directly.
This is the Voice of the Silence, the “still small voice” that
can be heard deep within each person. The Angel is shown
fully robed to indicate the occult and mysterious nature of
man’s intuitive processes. To enter VTIis to encounter your
own intuition. There is a danger here of giving in to vanity
and spiritual pride.
Meaning: Intuition, inspiration, insight, humility.
Meaning When Reversed: Bias, prejudice, pride,
vanity.

Title: Reason, the Twenty-Sixth Aethyr
Name: DES (Dess)
Gematria: 21= (2+1) =3
Sexual Current: masculine

Description: This card shows a hooded and fully robed


magician controlling magical forces that flow between two
complementary pillars. The white and black pillars of DES
are a reflex of the polarity of manifestation that was begun
in the fourth Aethyr, PAZ. The magician is standing ina cor-
ner, and the entire room is formed from the arched naked
body of the starry goddess Nut in her role as the Goddess of
the Night Sky. The conscious control over the natural for-
ces of duality is the chief function of the human mind. The
theme in DES is the human intellect and its two primary
tools: logic and reason. DES is located on a level with the
normal human mind. It emphasizes logic and reason, two
special attributes of the human mind. However, strong
forces of dualism swirl through the Aethyr and the intellect
is hard pressed to cope with them.
Meaning: Logic, reason, intellect, rational thought, a
logical outcome.
Meaning When Reversed: Ignorance, irrationality, in-
sanity, an irrational outcome.

Title: Solitude, the Twenty-Seventh Aethyr
Name: ZAA (Zodah-ah, or Zah-ah)
Gematria: 21= (2+1) =3
Sexual Current: feminine

Description: This card shows the dual goddess Diana/


Hecate standing on a stone block in an empty field under
the stars. Diana is the lunar Goddess of the Hunt and carries
a bow. She is young and beautiful and full of life. Hecate is
an old crone, the stereotype witch of the Middle Ages and
she leans upon a wooden cane. She is called the Queen of
the Night, and the Goddess of Witchcraft. The goddess in
ZAA combines the characteristics of both. The double god-
dess stands alone in the midst of an open field to symbolize
the strong sense of emptiness and formlessness that are en-
countered in this region. When man enters life at birth he is
like Diana. When he dies, he is like Hecate. Man must go
through birth and death alone. The message of ZAA is
therefore the message of man’s life spent on Earth, alone
and separate in a unique body of flesh. To those who con-
sciously enter this Aethyr, the double goddess says, “Manis
forever alone with himself and his universe.” ZAA is the
locality where the dead assimilate their past-life experienc-
es in preparation for rebirth. It is equivalent to the higher
part of Theosophy’s devachan.
Meaning: Solitude, loneliness, a separation, isolation,
emptiness, an assimilation of experiences.
Meaning When Reversed: Fulfillment, sharing, com-
munication, lack of privacy.

Title: Doubt, the Twenty-Eighth Aethyr
Name: BAG (Bah-geh)
Gematria: 19= (1+9) =10= (1+0) =1
Sexual Current: masculine

Description: This card shows the Angel who is called


LIXIPSP. He has the belly ofa fish, large wings, a lot of short
legs and claws, and a long, scorpion-like tail. His arms are
like tentacles ending in sharp flail-like barbs. In the card
LIXIPSP is shown blocking the path through a narrow
gorge so that only confrontation is possible. No one can
escape LIXIPSP. This Angel represents a part of man him-
self; that part that is darkened by fear and doubt. LIXIPSP is
the lowest part of our human nature, and he must be en-
countered and overcome in BAG. BAG is located in a
region characterized by a strong sense of sin and personal
worthlessness. The need for purgative suffering is strong
here. It is from this region that man obtains his sense of con-
science. BAG is located on the lowest subplane of the astral
plane at the beginning of the Watchtower of Water.
Meaning: Guilt, doubt, mistrust, sin, limitation, a
sense of unworthiness.
Meaning When Reversed: Faith, a lack of doubt, trust,
sin averted.

Title: The Heavens, the Twenty-Ninth Aethyr
Name: RII (Ree-ee)
Gematria: 220= (2+2+0) =4
Sexual Current: both masculine and feminine

Description: This card shows the region of RII which is


divided into four separate areas, one for each element. The
areas are: Judgement/Necessities in Water, Rewards/Pun-
ishments in Air, Survival/Disembodiment in Fire, and Stag-
nation/Helplessness in Earth. The traditional symbols for
these areas are the human, the eagle, the lion, and the bull as
shown in the card. RII is the region that contains the heavens
and hells of the world’s religions. Every major religion
teaches that man will be judged in some way after death for
his deeds and words during life. RII includes judgement
and the rewards and punishments that result from that
judgement. For a typical person who has recently died: In
the South, he will realize that he has survived death, in the
East he will have a moral sense of right and wrong, in the
West he will sense the inevitability of existence, and in the
North he will sense karmic destiny. The religious person
will enter a heaven or a hell. The agnostic will continue on
ina dream-like existence possibly not even knowing that he
has died. The materialist will close his mind to everything
and see nothing at all (he will enter a dreamless sleep state
and have no after-death experiences). What happens to
each individual is highly personal and largely karmic. RII is
located at the top of the Watchtower of Earth on the etheric
plane.
Meaning: Judgement, purification, decision, justice, a
karmic outcome.
Meaning When Reversed: Indecision, delay, impurity,
injustice.

Name: TEX (Teh-etz)
Gematria: 419= (4+1+9) =14= (1+4) =5
Sexual Current: both masculine and feminine

Description: This card shows the four regions of the


lowest Aethyr, TEX. These areas are characterized by strong
forces of karma in the North, obsessive forces of desire in
the East, a terrifying sense of silence in the South, and a
sense of restriction in the West. TEX is located on the lower
part of the etheric plane at the beginning of the Watchtower
of Earth. It is the closest Aethyr to our physical Earth. TEX
contains a purgative process that corresponds to the begin-
ning stages of Theosophy’s kamaloka. Four is the number for
firmness and stability, and these are both emphasized in
this subtle region which is the most dense of the thirty
Aethyrs.
Meaning: Restriction, desire, silence, fear.
Meaning When Reversed: Lack of any strong desires,
satisfaction, courage.

Wand of EDLPRNAA in his right hand and the Torch of

He stands in the mist of a blazing inferno. EDLPRNAA is
dangerous and quick to anger. He has a violent temper. He
has complete command over all denizens of the Watchtower
of Fire. His nature is to change things. He can destroy with
his Torch, and create with his Wand. The entire atmosphere
of this card suggests a violent change for the sake of change.
However, the King of Fire directs all of his changes with
controlled intelligence and purpose. Changes produced
here are not haphazard.
Meaning: Renewal, warmth, a deliberate and con-
trolled change, violence, enlightenment, magick or a magi-
cal operation.

bestows recognition by others, and also vitality. The entire

Sexual Current: feminine

Description: The four Lower Sephirothic Cross Angels


of Fire are NRZFM, OLOAG, OBAVA, and SIODA. The
card shows these four Angels walking across a burning
desert. They inhabit the formless and barren regions of the
Watchtower of Fire. The atmosphere of this card suggests
the natural sense of desolation that exists in the spiritual
regions of formlessness. We are so accustomed to forms
that the realms of formless spirituality seem bleak and
barren by comparison. According to human brain thinking,
these lofty regions seem like a dry and barren desert. The
process of spiritualization is sometimes referred to asa “let-
ting go” because we must leave behind all of our treasured
concepts and images about ourselves. In both love and
death, we let go of ourselves for awhile, and for this reason
most people fear to love and fear to die.
Meaning: Emptiness, formlessness, the lack of ashape
or structure, total lack of fruition, a misunderstanding of
what is really before you.
Meaning When Reversed: Victory, completeness, form,
a clearly defined concept.

Description: The four ruling Kerubic Angels of Fire are


ZIZA, DOPA, ANAA, and PSAK. The card shows the six-
teen Kerubic Angels of Fire encircling a man burning at the
stake who has chosen to be purified by fire. The theme of
ZDATP is a voluntary sacrifice through the process of puri-
fication by fire. This card does not represent a punishment,
but rather a cleansing or purging type of initiation. The at-
mosphere of this card suggests individual growth by prun-
ing, or sacrificial purification. For example, a person’s
physical body must in some cases be purified so that the
spiritual qualities of the inner man can be expressed in a
more suitable vehicle. This card suggests a suitable initia-
tion ceremony.

sixteen Archangels circling over a selected house ina village,

karmic retribution. The atmosphere of this card is similar to
ZDAP (Card 40) except that the destruction here is karmic
rather than voluntary. The initiation here is largely subcon-
scious and karmic, but nevertheless it is a true initiation.
The Archangels of Fire do not inflict punishment, but rather
dispense a natural expression of one’s karmic need for
purification.
Meaning: Righteousness, an act of justice, an act of ret-
ribution, unconscious revenge, karma, learning through
initiation.

ful forces of dispersion that exist in the Watchtower of Fire.

those karmic forces of transmutation and change that exist

mic changes that can be intelligently directed. This is sym-
bolized by the face in the smoky vapors. The message of
this card is to understand the Law of Karma and act within
its broad jurisdiction. This is also a card of Magick, because
any conscious change is, by definition, an act of Magick. The
atmosphere of this card suggests all magical operations
which take place under the Law of Karma.

change, Magick, a change ina person’s life as a result of that

Their nature is to rend asunder. They are embodiments of
fiery death who inhabit the sixteen Lesser Squares of the
Watchtower of Fire. These demons act under the Law of
Karma, and are natural dispensers of karmic punishment.
They act without intelligence or forethought. The human
mind sees them as malicious, but they are rather like fire
elementals (the Salamanders of occult tradition), and they
are not inherently evil. They destroy with no regard for the
suffering incurred. They have no moral sense of right and
wrong, and in that sense they can said to be totally insane.
They can only hurt those with bad karma, and can be con-
trolled by those with a preponderance of good karma. Kar-
mic purification is often used by a magician as a way to
control these demons.
Meaning: Death, decay, loss, an ending, karmic
punishment.
Meaning When Reversed: Death averted or delayed, a
bad birth or beginning, an unhealthy growth, bad karma
averted or delayed.

CARD LAYOUTS FOR DIVINATION

The Tarot has traditionally been used for divination,


and the Enochian version is no exception. Each card has a
specific set of possible meanings depending on its orienta-
tion (whether it is shown in its normal position or reversed
—i.e., upside down) during the layout. The normal method
of divination is to let the quester shuffle the deck while con-
centrating on his/her particular problem. For a general
reading, the quester should simply shuffle the cards while
letting his/her mind goas blankas possible. When the cards
“feel right” to the quester, he/she should stop shuffling and
either lay out the cards himself/herself or give the cards toa
reader who will conduct the layout for the questioner. The
spread to use is often a personal decision based on the past
experiences of the reader. Seven typical spreads are given
below. With practice, you will find that one will usually give
better results than the others. Use the spread that works
best for you.
First place the top cards of the shuffled deck in the
positions indicated by the respective spread. Next, depend-
ing on the card’s orientation, use an appropriate meaning
from the set of possible meanings for each card together
with the meaning of that card’s position to obtain the read-
ing. A good reader should not only look at the individual
card orientation, meanings and positions, but should also
consider the various relationships between the cards in the
spread. Often the interface of a card with its neighboring
cards will determine which individual meaning to select.
For example, the Demons of Fire could be interpreted as
either death or a loss. The correct choice depends as much
on the context of the card within the spread as on the ques-
tion itself.

Five-Card Enochian Pentagram Spread

FIVE-CARD ENOCHIAN PENTAGRAM SPREAD

This spread is ideally suited for Enochian cards, al-


though there are times when it may be too lacking in detail.
Its directness is especially beneficial when you want quick
answers. The layout consists simply in placing the top five
cards in a pentagram pattern as shown in Figure 16. The
position meanings are:

1. Tablet of Union—Intuition. Inner influences.

2. Watchtower of Fire—Motivation. Causal influences.

3. Watchtower of Air—Knowledge. Mental influences.

4. Watchtower of Water—Attachments. Emotional in-


fluences.

5. Watchtower of Earth—The final result. Manifested


outcome.

THE THREE-CARD ENOCHIAN SPREAD

This short spread is often a good method to use when


you are in a hurry for a direct answer. Simply place the
three top cards before you, from left to right, as shown in
Figure 17. The leftmost card represents the past influences.
The center card represents the present influences. The
rightmost card represents future influences. This layout
has no card specifically for outcome, but quite often the
general tone and probable outcome of a question can be
obtained from an intuitive glance at the top three cards.
Note: Because this spread lacks depth of meaning, the
results (answer) could be easily misconstrued. Use this
spread with care.

Three-Card Pyramid Spread
Card Layouts for Divination / 255

THE THREE-CARD PYRAMID SPREAD

This spread is similar to the Three-Card Enochian


Spread except that its layout is in pyramid form with the
past and present forming the basis for the future.
The bottom left-hand corner card represents the near
past influences. The bottom right-hand corner card rep-
resents the present influences. Together, these two cards
form the basis for future tendencies which are represented
by the apex of the pyramid.
There is no card specifically for the outcome of the
question, but the overall tone of the reading will indicate a
favorable or negative result.
Please note: This spread lacks depth of meaning and
the result could be easily misconstrued. Use this spread
with care.

THE WHOLE LIFE MANDALA READING

This spread is taken from New Age Tarot, Guide to the


Thoth Deck, by James Wanless, Merrill-West Publishing
(this is an excellent guide to Crowley’s Book of Thoth and
Tarot card deck). The Mandala Reading uses ten cards
arranged as shown in Figure 18. It is primarily useful for a
general reading for the questioner rather than to answer a
specific question. The position meanings are:

1. Head. Mental state and qualities.

2. Heart. Emotional state and qualities.

3. Legs. Physical state and qualities.

4. Spirit. Unique virtues and energies.

A TWO-WEEK TRAINING PROGRAM
FOR BEGINNERS

New users of the Tarot cards are often intimidated by


having to master the meanings of the Tarot cards so they
can accurately interpret a Tarot card reading. The possible
interpretations of even a small spread, like the Ten-Card
Celtic Spread, are formidable in number. The equation
which represents the various possibilities goes something
like this:

c-1
ay (86-n) x 2 x s x (c-1)
n=0

Where,

n = number of cards already drawn


s = number of possible meanings per card
c = number of cards in spread.
86 = number of cards in the Enochian Tarot
deck
2 = card orientation (positive or negative/up
or down)

Assuming an average of 5 meanings per card (s=5) for


the 10-card spread (c=10) there would be:

9
» (86-n) x 90 = 7740+7650+7560+7470
n=0 +7380+7290+7200
+7110+7020+6930
= 73,350 possibilities.

258
A Two-Week Training Program for Beginners / 259

This means, essentially, that you have 1 in 73,350 chanc-


es of interpreting a Ten-Card Spread with complete ac-
curacy. Don’t let this intimidate you, however, because
your subconscious mind, once trained, will instinctively
know which meanings apply to any given reading. Also,
though you will eventually want to memorize the meanings
for all 86 cards, it is not necessary to assimilate all of this
information at one time. By following our sensible training
program, anyone can become a fairly proficient reader
within two weeks. Learning to interpret a Tarot spread will
take time and practice, but the rewards will make the effort
well worthwhile.
Start the training program by setting up a study area.
You will need a room which is free of outside distractions, a
table, a comfortable chair, your deck of cards, this book, a
box to store your card deck (preferably silk-lined), a loose-
leaf binder with lots of blank pages, anda pen or pencil. The
loose-leaf binder will become a diary of all your work with
the Tarot cards so be sure to store it in a safe place. Even-
tually it will store very private information about yourself
and other people so you might want to purchase a lockable
storage box for it.
The next step in the training program is for you to
become familiar with the various cards in the Major Arcana.
Try to study three cards each day. Using this book, learn
their various personalities and possible meanings. Make
them your friends. Write down any personal impressions
you have about each card in your notebook. In ten days you
should know all 30 cards and be ready to try some of the
quick and easy spreads.
Start with the Three-Card Enochian Spread and the
Three-Card Pyramid Spread. Become aware of the signi-
ficance of the placement of the cards in each spread. Mem-
orize the placement information. It will be the basis for all
future work with the cards. Master each spread thoroughly.
260 / Enochian Tarot

You should be able to lay the spreads without benefit of the


book and be able to give a skillful reading. If you find your-
self hesitating over the meaning of a card, or the significance
of a placement, go back and reinforce the missing informa-
tion before moving on. As you learn to understand a spread,
practice interpreting the reading. Which card meanings
seem to correspond to the position significance of the card?
Which meanings correspond to the surrounding cards? By
the process of elimination, you should come up with one or
two meanings which appear appropriate. Write down your
interpretation of the spread using the following guide,
adapting the guide as needed.

A Two-Week Training Program for Beginners / 261

To facilitate the recording of your readings, Appendix


A contains sample blank reading charts for all the spreads
used in this book. You can cut out the appropriate spread
chart and have it inexpensively enlarged and copied at your
local copy center. Use these charts faithfully. They will not
only serve as a record of your progress in learning to inter-
pret the cards, but will also greatly accelerate the learning
process.
Within two weeks you should be proficient with the
three-card spreads and be able to do readings for yourself.
Remember, however, that three-card readings are not ter-
ribly accurate. You will want to continue honing your skills
until you are able to use the whole deck with some of the
more advanced spreads.
A FOUR-WEEK ADVANCED STUDY GUIDE

Students who have completed the two-week study


program should be ready to start learning some of the more
advanced spreads and reading techniques. During your
studies you will probably find a couple of spreads with
which you feel very comfortable. Ifso, limit your practice to
those spreads. You can go back and increase your familiarity
with the other spreads later. Devote the time saved on
learning new spreads to becoming familiar with the cards of
the Minor Arcana. If you study two cards a day for 28 days,
you will have mastered the Minor Arcana cards by the end
of this course.
While you are learning the cards of the Minor Arcana,
practice laying the various spreads in this book and inter-
preting the readings. Continue using the Major Arcana
cards until you have mastered the Minor Arcana cards.
Once you are proficient in reading the Tarot for your-
self, it is time to do readings for your family and friends.
Start with your most patient friends and relatives. You don’t
need criticism at this stage of development. Write down the
results of these readings for future reference. Keep the
readings in your notebook. As the future unfolds, check
your predictions against what happens. If you have taken
the time to learn your craft carefully, the charts should indi-
cate a high level of accuracy.
Occasionally there are situations which can cause
seemingly faulty readings. Some people have such frag-
mented personalities that it is almost impossible to pre-
cisely foretell their futures. Other people have a hard time
concentrating. They think they are focusing all their mental
energy on one question while really thinking about some-
thing else entirely. Environmental distractions can inter-
fere with the quester’s or reader’s concentration. At other
times the questioner may willfully change the direction his
262
A Four-Week Advanced Study Guide / 263

or her life is taking, after the Tarot reading. All of these


variables have to be taken into consideration. Do not be dis-
couraged by early “failures.” Your accuracy will increase
with practice. Remember, the Tarot is most precise when
used over a relatively long period of time. It is least accurate
when used as a “quick peek” into the future.
There are steps you can take to help improve the
accuracy of a reading. Provide the quester with a distraction-
free environment. Choose a room that is away from the
hustle and bustle of the neighborhood. Use drapery that
helps deaden noise. Use subdued lighting. Provide a table
with a calming colored cloth. A light-blue colored cloth in
linen, silk, or cotton is often a good choice. Provide chairs
that are padded, comfortable, and non-restricting. It doesn’t
help if the quester is squirming in his/her seat.
If you sense, or you know, that the quester is a highly
agitated person, or is a person with a fragmented per-
sonality, do not have them shuffle your deck. Rather, have
them merely touch the deck. Then, while both of you con-
centrate on the question being asked, shuffle the deck and
cut it for the quester. This serves a two-fold purpose. It
keeps your deck from becoming permanently tainted with
fragmentary vibrations, and it helps you “center” the deck
on the question being asked. You act as a surrogate
quester.
The technique to use for a person who is unaware of
the question he/she really wants answered is virtually the
same as for the person with the fragmented personality,
except that this person can be allowed to shuffle the cards
for him/herself. As the reader, you will have to free your
mind of all environmental and internal distractions so that
you will be able to zero in on what is really the question
being asked. This takes practice and diplomacy.
Some people hide questions of great importance even
from themselves. They possibly could get testy if you bring
264 / Enochian Tarot

that question out into the open. You have to find a way to
put the quester into a receptive state of mind to discuss the
real issue at hand. An example of this would be the quester
who tells you he wants to ask about the fidelity of his
sweetheart. When reading the cards you get definite indi-
cations that the real question revolves around health. Gen-
tle probing of the quester reveals that he is gay and he is
afraid that his lover has been unfaithful and has given him
AIDS. The cards reveal that the quester’s health is still good,
but his lover is definitely deceiving him. You advise the
reader to re-evaluate his need for this person’s affection in
view of the strong possibility that continuing the relation-
ship could endanger his life. You should also advise the
quester to seek appropriate medical conformation of the
reading.
Once you are totally competent using the Major Arcana
portion of the deck, it is time to incorporate the Minor
Arcana. As with the Major Arcana, practice reading alone
until your skills are well honed.
As you work with your Tarot deck, you will imprint it
with your own unique vibrations. A minuscule part of you
will be in every reading and will shade or tinge the inter-
pretation of that reading. This must be taken into considera-
tion whenever you interpret the cards.
Tarot interpretation can be a personally and financially
rewarding sideline or profession. The time spent learning
the craft proficiently will enhance the process for both
reader and client.

EXAMPLE OF A TYPICAL READING

For this example we will use the Major Arcana cards


and the Ten-Card Celtic Spread. The quester is a pro-
fessional woman in the prime of life. She is about to con-
A Four-Week Advanced Study Guide / 265

sider a major career change. She wishes to know if the


change will be beneficial professionally. While concentrat-
ing hard on the question, she shuffles the deck, cutting it
three or four times as she shuffles. When the cards feel
right, she turns the deck and hands it to the reader. The
reader places the deck in front of him—in the same position
the quester handed it to him. The reader starts the reading.

Knowing the nature of the question being asked helped


the reader easily eliminate the nonapplicable meanings.
Looking over the remaining list of meanings he was struck
by the emphasis on the futility and hopelessness the ques-
ter felt about her current job. This led him to choose a Pre-
sent Influence of detachment—that is, the quester’s wish to
separate from the current job. The Present Obstacle seemed
to be that the quester was leaving the decision up to fate
instead of taking matters into her own hands. This meant
that the Specific Goal was going to be a surprise—an un-
known change. The reader felt the Broad Past Influence
showed discord and the near past influence was a sense of
futility which caused the quester to feel that her future was
going to be more stagnation in her job. The Quester At Pres-
ent felt a lack of energy caused by her feelings of lack of con-
trol of her present work environment. The Quester’s Inner
Emotions were torn by indecision (corresponding to des-
tiny and surprise in the Present Obstacle and Specific Goal
positions). Fortunately, in spite of the quester’s lack of
determined action, the Final Result promised change with
completeness and satisfaction (change indicated by destiny
of Present Obstacle and surprise at Specific Goal).
MASTER OF TAROT COURSE

The Master of Tarot course was designed for the indiv-


idual who wishes to practice Enochian Tarot on a pro-
fessional basis. Anyone wishing to study this course should
have exceptional psychic ability—either natural or acquired
through practice and study. The professional practice of
Tarot often causes strong karmic repercussions and the stu-
dent must have enough understanding of the Magical Uni-
verse to control these repercussions. Included as part of the
course is a brief overview of the basic factors which must be
considered before the student can set up a profitable Tarot
practice. As with any endeavor, the primary difference be-
tween an amateur and a professional is the acceptance of
compensation for the practitioner’s expertise. This com-
pensation is considered income, and as such, can produce
significant legal and financial problems for the practitioner.

COURSE PREREQUISITES

Students of the Master’s course must first successfully


complete the Two-week and Four-week Courses. The courses
provide the preparatory training needed for this course.
Students must also be intimate with the contents of this
book and understand it completely. Students should have
-read, and be knowledgeable with, the information con-
tained in: Enochian Magic—A Beginner's Manual, An Advanced
Guide to Enochian Magick, and Enochian Physics—The Struc-
ture ofthe Magical Universe. These books provide the founda-
tion upon which Enochian Tarot is based.

THE MASTER COURSE

According to the Golden Dawn, “The more rigidly cor-


rect and in harmony with the scheme of the Universe is any
form of Divination, so much the more is it likely to yield a
correct and reliable answer to the inquirer” (Tarot Divina-
tion). In other words, the closer that a connection can be
made to the occult forces of nature, the better the chances of
a successful divination. Tarot card divination can therefore
be made a magical ritual, and the more closely the mi-
crocosmic ritual corresponds to the macrocosmic universe,
the greater the chance of success. Divination Magick, if pro-
perly conducted, has a greater chance of success than sim-
ply shuffling the cards and interpreting a particular layout
literally. Below are four divination rituals, a procedure for
skrying the Aethyrs, and a procedure for visiting the
Aethyrs. Together, these six magical operations comprise
the Master Course for Enochian Tarot.

THE MYSTICAL DIVINATION RITUAL

STEP 1. The Significator. Determine the significator of


the enquirer—the card that most appropriately corres-
ponds to the one for whom the reading is being conducted.
The most direct method is to use Table 18.
270 / Enochian Tarot

Table 18
Significator Correspondences

Fire Fair and red-headed persons


Air Moderately dark persons
Water Moderately fair persons
Earth Very dark persons
Kings
Water Men
Earth Men
Fire Women
Air Women
Seniors
Fire Men
Air Men
Water Women
Earth Women

For example, the significator for a dark complexioned


man would be the King of Earth, while for a blond or red-
headed woman would be one of the Seniors of Fire (the
exact Senior can usually be decided from the known corres-
pondences). The above method is easy to use. However, a
better method is to match the card with the nature or per-
sonality characteristics of the quester. To do so, use the
following correspondences:

King of Fire: woman, quick temper, fiery nature.


King of Air: woman, kind, loving, tender, sensitive.
King of Water: man, creative, artistic, sensitive.
King of Earth: man, self-assured, calm, secure.
First Senior of Fire: man, strong, energetic, violent.
Master of Tarot Course / 271

First Senior of Air: man, courageous, brave, daring.


First Senior of Water: woman, passionate, sexy,
attractive.
First Senior of Earth: woman, graceful, delicate.

Use the King or First Senior card as significator that


best matches the nature of the quester. If the quester is a
stranger whose aura is difficult to read, then use the guid-
ance in Table 18.

STEP 2. The Magick Weapon. Use the significator card


to determine the appropriate Magick Weapon and Color to
use as shown in Table 19.

Table 19
Magick Weapons & Colors

Wand
Sword/Dagger
Cup
Pantacle

STEP 3. The Magick Circle. Construct and consecrate a


Magick Circle in which to perform the divination opera-
tion. First draw a circle on the floor (if possible, include an
altar within the circle), and then stand within it. You should
have a deck of cards and an appropriate weapon. If you are
performing the divination for another, then they should
join you in the circle. Use the following Enochian Invoking
Pentagram Ritual to consecrate the circle.
272 / Enochian Tarot

1. Stand. Touch your forehead and say:


ZAH (Zeh-ah, or Zod-ah: within is).

2. Touch your left breast and say:


ONDOH (Oh-en-doh: the Kingdom).

3. Touch your right shoulder and say:


MIH (Mee-heh: the Power).

4. Touch your left shoulder and say:


BUZD (Boo-zeh-deh, or Boo-zod-deh: the Glory).

5. Touch both hands together on your right breast


and say:
PAID (Pah-ee-deh: forever).
6. Turn to the East, trace a yellow invoking Pentagram
of Air (see Figure 20) before you and say:
EXARP (Etz-ar-peh: Air).
7. Turn to the South, trace a red invoking Pentagram of
Fire (see Figure 20) before you and say:
BITOM (Bee-toh-meh: Fire).

8. Turn to the West, trace a blue invoking Pentagram of


Water (see Figure 20) before you and say:
HKOMA (Heh-koh-mah: Water).
9. Turn to the North, trace a black invoking Pentagram
of Earth (see Figure 20) before you and say:
NANTA (Nah-en-tah: Earth).

10. Face the North, extend you arms outward to forma


cross and say:
Before me IKZHIKAL (Ee-heh-zod-hee-kal)
Behind me EDLPRNAA (Eh-del-par-nah-ah)
On my right BATAIVAH (Bah-tah-ee-vah-heh)
On my left RAAGIOSL (Rah-ah-gee-oh-sel)
Behold, the four flaming pentagrams
And I alone in the midst.

Tracing the Pentagram
274 / Enochian Tarot

NOTE: The names of the four Kings should be vi-


brated while you draw an appropriate invoking pentagram
in the air as shown in Figure 20. Use your magical imagina-
tion to see the pentagram shimmering clearly before you in
the appropriate color.

STEP 4. The Invoking Pentagram. Use your weapon to


trace an invoking pentagram over the cards. Visualize the
pentagram in its corresponding color. See the occult forces
of the appropriate Watchtower being invoked into the cards
by your pentagram. To do this, use your astral vision to
visualize an appropriately colored mist descending from
the pentagram into the deck of cards. Continue this visuali-
zation until the deck appears to be saturated by the mist
(create a red mist for Fire, and so on).

STEP 5. The Shuffle. If you are doing your own read-


ing, then shuffle the cards yourself. If for another, either
you or the quester can shuffle the cards while both of you
. concentrate on the question being asked.

STEP 6. The Layout. The shuffled deck is placed before


you (on an altar if available). Cut the deck in half (or let the
enquirer cut the deck) and place the top half five or six
inches to the right. Then cut each of the two stacks in half,
placing each top half immediately to the right of its bottom
half. This results in four stacks of cards: from left to right
these represent Earth—business and money, Water—pleas-
ure and love, Air—trouble of some kind, and Fire—creative
or destructive energy. Turn the stacks over and find the
significator without disturbing the order of the cards. Use
the stack containing the significator while ignoring the
others. Fan this stack out in the shape of a horseshoe so that
each card is exposed.
Master of Tarot Course / 275

STEP 7. The Interpretation. To interpret the cards, first


include the meaning of the stack containing the significator
as given in Part 6 above. Then look at the cards to see if a
predominance of one suit is present. A majority of Fire
means energy. A majority of Air means trouble. A majority
of Water means happiness. A majority of Earth means
possessions or money. Begin with the card to the right of
the significator (only use the left adjacent card when the
significator is at the right end of the layout). Note the mean-
ing of this card and then move to the next card by counting
the cards as shown in Table 20. When you arrive at a card
that has already been read, the reading is over.

Table 20
Card Moves

Aethyr 3 cards
King 4 cards
Senior 6 cards
Cross 5 cards
Kerubic 10 cards
Archangel 1 cards
Angel 8 cards
Demon 13 cards

Notes To Table 20

The 30 Aethyrs reduce to 3 (30=(3+0) =3).


There are 4 Kings.
There are 6 Seniors per Watchtower.
There are 32 Sephirothic Cross Angels and 32=(3+2)=5.
There are 64 Kerubic Angels and 64=(6+4)=10.
There are 64 Archangels and 64= (6+4)=10=(1+0)=1.
There are 512 Angels and 512=(5+1+2)=8.
There are 256 Demons and 256= (2+5+6) =13.
276 / Enochian Tarot

How to Read the Cards. Begin with the significator.


Read the card to the right (if the significator is located at the
far right, then read the card to the left and proceed to the
left). The next card to be read depends on the type of the
first card. Use Table 20, and if the card read is a Sephirothic
Cross Angel, then go five cards to the right to find the next
card to be read (if you run out of cards going in any direc-
tion, then reverse the direction). Ifthe card read isa Demon,
then go 13 cards in the same direction. The idea is to go back
and forth along the horseshoe of cards reading only those
selected cards until you come to one that has already been
read. First go to the right as far as you can, and when you can
go no farther in that direction, go to the left, and so on.

An Example Reading. As an example, suppose that the


card layout is as shown in Figure 21. The reading is for a
blond man, so the significator was chosen to be EDLPRNAA,
the King of Fire. The stack containing this card is displayed
as a horseshoe as shown in Figure 21. Begin the reading
with the card to the right of EDLPRNAA, which is the Major
Arcana card DEO. The second card is three cards to the
right (all Major Arcana cards move three spaces as shown
in Table 20), which is AHMLLKYV, the fifth Senior of Earth.
The third card is six cards away. Because we cannot go six
cards to the right, we reverse direction and go six cards to
the left which is AKOM, the Ruling Angels of Water. The
fourth card in the reading is LIGDISA which is eight cards
from AKOM. This is the last card of our spread so the direc-
tion must be reversed for the next card. The fifth card is the
Major Arcana card ASP, located six cards to the right of
LIGDISA. The sixth card of our reading is AANT, the Rul-
ing Angels of Earth,which is located three cards from ASP.
The seventh card is NOOS, the Lesser Sephirothic Cross
Angels of Fire. This is found by reversing direction because
there are not enough cards to the right of AANT. All Cross

vsiadon

Figure 21
Reading the Horseshoe Spread
278 / Enochian Tarot

Angels move five spaces. There are not enough cards to


continue to the left, therefore the next card is found by
counting five cards to the right. This brings us to ASP which
we have already read, and so the reading is over. Our sam-
ple reading results in the following cards:

1) DEO—love, freedom

2) AHMLLKV—a judgement, a reward

3) AKOM—growth, abundance

4) LIGDISA—stability, maturity

5) ASP—purpose, meaning

6) AANT—organization, order

7) NOOS—emptiness, formlessness

The reading itself will depend largely on the question.


Each card must be interpreted against the specific question
at hand. In addition, a card may be right side up or reversed
(all cards in our example are shown right side up). Further-
more, the overall tone of the reading is colored by the pre-
dominance of a suit, ifany exists. In our example, there is an
excess of Water cards, which will flavor the overall outcome
in a very positive manner.

STEP 8. The Closing. Close the ritual by banishing the


forces that were invoked. Conduct the Enochian Banishing
Pentagram Ritual given in Part 3 above, using the appro-
priate banishing pentagrams shown in Figure 20.
Master of Tarot Course / 279

The Zodiac Divination Ritual

STEP 1. OPENING. Choose a significator as shown in


the Mystical Ritual above. Make a circle. Place an altar inthe
circle with your card deck on it. Consecrate the circle with
the invoking Pentagram Ritual as shown in the Mystical
Ritual above.

STEP 2. Shuffle the cards. To aid in the shuffling, focus


your mind on the King or First Senior who corresponds to
the significator, and mentally repeat his name. Deal the
cards into 12 stacks as shown in Figure 22. The arrange-
ment should look like the face of a clock. Begin at one
o’clock, and continue around the hours until all the cards
have been dealt. You should have seven cards in ten stacks,
and eight cards in the first two stacks.

STEP 3. Look for the significator. The stack in which it


is found corresponds as follows:

. Outer appearances, the personality.


. Money, possessions, personal security.
. Relationships, short trips, communications.
. Domestic life, family, home.
. Creativity, love life, speculative activities.
. Service, health, needs of the community.
. Marriage, partnerships, legal matters.
. Death, rebirth, endings, new beginnings.
Re. Travel,
SOND
PWN long trips, religion, charitable projects,
educational matters.
10. Careers, work, responsibilities, government matters.
11. Friendships, group activities, acquaintances, organi-
zational matters.
12. Confinement, confining institutions, enemies,
sorrow, unexpected difficulties.

in the Zodiac Divination Ritual
Master of Tarot Course / 281

STEP 4. Read the remaining 6 or 7 cards in order of


appearance. Use the card meanings to put together a series
of coherent findings pertaining to the quester.
EXAMPLE. You shuffle and deal out the cards. The
significator, First Senior of Water, is found in the fifth stack.
The quester is concerned about her sex life. The remaining
6 cards in the order they were dealt are: ARN, LVSA, MOKA,
ARINNAP, LIN, and AAPO.

The reading could be:


ARN
— You have a strong desire for an intense and mean-
ingful love affair and,
LVSA—You are seeking a successful relationship with a
man.
MOKA-—So far there has been a lack of success, and a
failure to find the right person but,
ARINNAP—You still have a strong desire to find the
right partner.
LIN—Perhaps if you took a new look at yourself, and saw
yourself as you really are,
AAPO—Then a truly meaningful relationship with a man
could come about for you.

STEP 5. The Closing. Close the ritual by banishing the


forces that were invoked. Conduct the Enochian Banishing
Pentagram Ritual using the appropriate banishing pen-
tagrams shown in Figure 20.
282 / Enochian Tarot

The Pentagram Divination Ritual

This short divination ritual should never be conducted


more than once a day. It is designed for use as a daily
inspection/check of your magical state of being.

STEP 1. OPENING. Make a circle. Place an altar in the


circle with your card deck on it together with a pentagram
suchas the one shown in Figure 16 (make sure that Position
1 is upward as you lookat it). Consecrate the circle with the
Enochian Invoking Pentagram Ritual as shown in the Mys-
tical Ritual above and using the appropriate invoking pen-
tagram shown in Figure 20.

STEP 2. Divide the deck into five stacks. Place all of the
Major Arcana cards in the first stack, all of the Kings and
Seniors in the second stack, all of the Sephirothic Cross and
Kerubic Angels in the third stack, all of the Archangels and
Ruling Angels in the fourth stack, and all of the Lesser
Angels and Demons in the fifth stack. _

NOTE: If you use this ritual daily, you may want to


consider obtaining an extra deck of cards for use solely with
this ritual to save time in preparing the cards. Such a deck
would also have the advantage of only having your own
vibrations to influence them.

STEP 3. Shuffle the first stack of cards while saying the


Enochian word EHNB (Spirit). Turn over the top card and
place it in Position 1 as shown in Figure 16. This is at the top
of the pentagram which corresponds to the element Spirit.
This card represents your current spiritual state or con-
dition.
Master of Tarot Course / 283

STEP 4. Shuffle the second stack of cards while saying


the Enochian word BITOM (Fire). Turn over the top card
and place it in Position 2 as shown in Figure 16. This is at the
right leg of the pentagram which corresponds to the ele-
ment Fire. This card represents your current causal state
or condition.

STEP 5. Shuffle the third stack of cards while saying


the Enochian word EXARP (Air). Turn over the top card
and place it in Position 3 as shown in Figure 16. This is at the
left arm of the pentagram which corresponds to the ele-
ment Air. This card represents your current mental state
or condition.

STEP 6. Shuffle the fourth stack of cards while saying


the Enochian word HKOMA (Water). Turn over the top
card and place it in Position 4 as shown in Figure 16. This is
at the right arm of the pentagram which corresponds to the
element Water. This card represents your current emo-
tional state or condition.

STEP 7. Shuffle the fifth stack of cards while saying the


Enochian word NANTA (Earth). Turn over the top card and
place it in Position 5 as shown in Figure 16. This is at the left
leg of the pentagram which corresponds to the element
Earth. This card represents your current physical state or
condition.

STEP 8. Read the five cards as mirrors into your own


Self as you really are at this point in time.

STEP 9. The Closing. Close the ritual by banishing the


forces that were invoked. Conduct the Enochian Banishing
Pentagram Ritual using the appropriate banishing pen-
tagrams shown in Figure 20.
284 / Enochian Tarot

The Divination Ritual of the Aethyrs

STEP 1. OPENING. Choose a significator as shown in


the Mystical Ritual above. Make a circle. Place an altar in the
circle with your card deck on it. Use the Enochian Invoking
Pentagram Ritual described in the Mystical Ritual above to
invoke helping forces into the circle.

STEP 2. Shuffle the cards. To aid in the shuffling, focus


your mind on the King or First Senior who corresponds to
the significator, and mentally repeat his name.

STEP 3. Turn the cards face up and find the significator.


Cut the cards at that point so that the significator is at the top
of the deck (take the significator and all cards below it and
place them on top of the other cards). Now turn the deck
face down. The significator should be the top card.

STEP 4. Place the top card (significator) in front of you.


Beginning directly above the significator card, lay out the
top 30 cards in the deck ina large circle going clockwise as
shown in Figure 23.

STEP 5. Beginning with the first card and preceding


clockwise, read each Major Arcana card skipping over all
Minor Arcana cards. Use the card meanings to put together
a series of coherent findings pertaining to the quester.

EXAMPLE. The significator is AAETPIO, and the cards


are MAZ (reversed), ZIP (reversed), KHR, and DES.

A Possible Reading:

AAETPIO—the gentleman is energetic but prone to vio-


lence.

MAZ—You currently are repressing a strong anger which


can lead to a wrong action on your part. The cause may be
known to you, but is probably unconscious.
ZIP—A woman is involved, and your relationship with her
has either already ended, or will soon end, unpleasantly.
KHR—This problem is part of your destiny and you can do
little about it now, except to be aware that this is occurring.
DES—What you need to do now is to rationally think
through your relationship with this woman and use logic
and reason rather than simply respond with emotional
reaction.

STEP 6. The Closing. Close the ritual by banishing the


forces that were invoked. Conduct the Enochian Banishing
Pentagram Ritual given in the Mystical Ritual above, using
the appropriate banishing pentagrams shown in Figure
20.

Skrying in the Aethyrs and Watchtowers

One of the primary magical operations of the Enochian


magician is to skry in the invisible planes and subplanes
that surround our physical world. This implies the ability to
direct consciousness into the Watchtowers and Aethyrs
and return with full memory. One of the favorite methods
used for this operation is called skrying (or scrying). In nor-
mal skrying, you might stare into a crystal while concentrat-
ing ona particular region or deity. In this ritual, the crystal is
replaced with an appropriate Tarot card.

STEP 1. OPENING. Make a circle. Place an altar in the


circle with your card deck on it. Consecrate the circle with
the Enochian Invoking Pentagram Ritual as shown in the
Master of Tarot Course / 287

Mystical Ritual above.

STEP 2. Decide where you want to visit. If an Aethyr,


then use an appropriate Major Arcana card. If a Square of
one of the four Watchtowers, then use the appropriate deity
card from the Minor Arcana. If a Watchtower is chosen,
then face the appropriate direction: Earth in the North,
Water in the West, Air in the East, and Fire in the South.

STEP 3. Gaze smoothly, relaxed but alert, at the card


and concentrate on the Aethyr or Square (signposts for
these regions are given in An Advanced Guide to Enochian
Magick).

STEP 4. Mentally imagine the Aethyr or Square ex-


panding from the card to life-size around you. A technique
used with some success is to imagine the card as a door into
the desired region and mentally project yourself through it.
If necessary, use the Rending of the Veil sign. To do this,
stand facing forward with feet together and both arms
straight in front of you with palms downward, fingers
together. Your hands should be about a foot apart. Now
take one slow step forward. This motion suggests that you
are breaking through a barrier into the region beyond.

STEP 5. Observe all that happens. Remember every-


thing that you see or do. When ready, return your con-
sciousness to your physical body (usually the desire to do
this is enough to bring it about). With practice, you will see
more and more of the subtle regions of the Magical Universe
as taught in Enochian Magick.

STEP 6. Close the ritual with the Enochian Banishing


Pentagram Ritual.
288 / Enochian Tarot

RITUAL FOR VISITING THE AETHYRS

The following Enochian ritual can be used to visit the


Aethyrs. For your own safety, always begin with the lowest
Aethyr, TEX, and proceed upward through the Aethyrs in
serial order without skipping any.

STEP 1. OPENING. Make a circle. Place an altar in the


circle with the Tarot card of the Aethyr to be visited on it,
and your Wand. Consecrate the circle with the Pentagram
Ritual as shown in the Mystical Ritual above. Stand facing
the direction of the Watchtower in which the names of the
Governors are derived (see Enochian Magic: A Practical
Manual). For example, for TEX, face the West because the
names of the four Governors of TEX are from the Watch-
tower of Water.

STEP 2. Recite the magical Enochian Call by saying


the following:
The Heavens that are in the (first, second, etc.) Aethyr,
(LIL, ARN, etc.) are mighty in those regions of the universe,
and they carry out the Judgement of the Highest. To them it is
said: Behold, the Face of your God, the beginning of Comfort,
whose eyes are the brightness of the Heavens. He enables
you to govern the Earth, and her unspeakable variety and
furnishes you with the Power of Understanding so that you
can carry out all things according to the Provinces of Him
who sits upon the Holy Throne, and who rose up in the
Beginning, saying: The Earth, let her be governed by her
parts, and let there be division in her, so that her glory may be
both an eternal ecstasy and an inherent vexation.

Her course, let it run with the Heavens, and let her serve
them like a handmaiden.
Master of Tarot Course / 289

One season, let it mix with another, and let there be no


creature upon her or within her that remains the same.

All of her members, let them have different qualities,


and let no one creature be equal to another.

The creatures of reason who are on the Earth, such as


man, let them disturb and eliminate one another; and their
dwelling places, let their Names be forgotten.

The egotistical works of man, let them be destroyed.

His buildings, let them become caves for the beasts of


the field.

Dim her understanding with darkness. Why? Because I


am sorry that I made Man. The Earth is well known for
awhile, and for another while, she is a stranger, because she
is the bed of a harlot, and the dwelling place of him who
is fallen.

O Heavens, arise! The Lower Heavens are beneath you.


Let them serve you! Govern those who govern! Cast down
those who are likely to fall. Bring forth with those who
increase, and destroy those who are rotten. Let no place
remain in one number. Add and subtract until the stars
are numbered.

Arise! Move! Appear before the Covenant of His Mouth


which He has sworn to us in His Justice. Unveil the mys-
teries of your creation, and make us to be partakers of THE
UNDEFILED KNOWLEDGE.

NOTE: In the first sentence, insert the appropriate


Aethyr number and name. For example, you would begin
290 / Enochian Tarot

by visiting the 30th Aethyr, TEX. So say, “The Heavens that


are in the thirtieth Aethyr, TEX, are mighty in those regions
of the universe, and they carry out the Judgement of the
Highest. To them it is said: .. .”

STEP 3. Invoke the appropriate Governors. You can


refer to Enochian Magic: A Practical Manual, or An Advanced
Guide to Enochian Magick for a list of the Governors of the
Aethyrs. Each Aethyr has three Governors, except two
(TEX and LIN) which have four. As an example, for TEX,
say the following:
O TAOAGLA (Tah-oh-ah-geh-lah), allow me to come
before you, O Governor of the West.
Trace his sigil in the air before you with your Wand.
Visualize it in the air before you as blue, the same color as
the Watchtower of Water. His sigil is:

Then say,
O GEMNIMB (Gem-nee-em-beh), allow me to come
before you, O Governor of the North.
Trace his sigil in the air before you with your Wand.
Visualize it in the air before you as blue, the same color as
the Watchtower of Water. His sigil is:
Master of Tarot Course / 291

Then say,
O ADUORPT (Ah-due-oh-rah-peh-teh), allow me to
come before you, O Governor of the South.
Trace his sigil in the air before you with your Wand.
Visualize it in the air before you as blue, the same color as
the Watchtower of Water. His sigil is:

Ome on
Then say,
O DOZIAAL (Doh-zodee-ah-ah-leh, or Doh-zee-ah-
ah-leh), allow me to come before you, O Governor of the
East.
Trace his sigil in the air before you with your Wand.
Visualize it in the air before you as blue, the same color as
the Watchtower of Water. His sigil is:

STEP 4. Gaze into the Tarot card of the Aethyr. For


example, focus on the card named TEX. Hold the image in
your mind, and use the Rending of the Veil sign. To do this,
stand facing forward with feet together and both arms
straight in front of you with palms downward, fingers
together. Your hands should be about a foot apart. Now
take one slow step forward. This motion suggests that you
are breaking through a barrier into the region beyond.
292 / Enochian Tarot

STEP 5. Observe your experiences in the Aethyr, or


anything that you see or hear. To return, use the Closing of
the Veil sign. To do this, stand facing forward with feet
together and arms stretched out straight in front of you,
hands about a foot apart. Face your palms inward with
fingers together. Bring your hands slowly together until the
palms touch. This suggests that you are forcing yourself out
of an area and reclosing the barrier behind you.

STEP 6. The Closing. Close the ritual by banishing the


forces that were invoked. Conduct the Enochian Banishing
Pentagram Ritual given in the Mystical Ritual above, using
the appropriate banishing pentagrams shown in Figure

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS

As we have stated before, any person who wishes to


practice Enochian Tarot professionally must be prepared to
set up a practice, like any other self-employed professional.
This will involve a lot of time and money. Some people
slide into becoming a professional while others jump right
in with both feet. There are dangers inherent in each ap-
proach. These dangers must be addressed and considered.
Most practitioners of Enochian Tarot will be content to
learn the rudiments of the art and practice it ona hit-or-miss
basis. The results will be just as unpredictable, but the users
will have fun, and they might even become more psy-
chically attuned from their endeavors. These practitioners
are similar to Monday night bowlers and weekend quarter-
backs. They play to have fun and they expect no more than
an occasional trophy or ribbon as recompense.
There will be a small number of practitioners, however,
who want to practice their art on a higher, more profound
Master of Tarot Course / 293

level. These students realize that Enochian Tarot is not a


plaything, but an extraordinary psychic implement which
deserves consistent, unfeigned operation. These are the
individuals who expend the time, money, and effort neces-
sary to become professional Tarot practitioners—the Mas-
ters of Tarot.
Once uponatime, it was a fairly easy process to set upa
business and run it. Today however, over-regulation from
the various levels of government has created an inhospit-
able climate for new businesses. The climate ranges from
moderately annoying to downright hostile, depending on
the location of the new business. It will be necessary, before
starting the Master’s Course, to determine whether it is
legal to practice divination in your locality. There are some
areas where zoning guidelines forbid such activity. There-
fore, the first step to becoming a professional diviner is to
contact your town commissioners to see if it is an allowable
business activity. If the profession is allowed, then you can
proceed with the other steps necessary to establish your
practice. If the activity is not allowed, you will either have to
practice for free, or establish your business in an area more
congenial to divination.

PRACTICING FOR FREE vs


PRACTICING AS A PROFESSION

Many people practice divination for free every day and


think nothing about the potential negative consequences of
their actions. This normally occurs when a friend comes
over for coffee and, to spice up the occasion, the Tarot cards
are dragged out and read. For the most part, this is a fairly
harmless diversion, but there are other times when such
actions can be very costly. For example, your friend comes
over, as stated before, and you bring out your card deck to
entertain her. She shuffles the cards, you lay them out, and
lo and behold, the cards predict that your friend’s husband
is about to leave her for another woman. If you tell your
friend what you see she is liable to blame you for her loss.
You could lie, but then you are playing with dangerous forc-
es. As said before, the Tarot deck is not a toy. So, you tell
294
Preliminary Steps to Establishing a Divination Practice / 295

your friend what you see. She is understandably upset and


goes home.
Time passes. Your friend’s husband makes no overt
actions to leave his wife, but she, upset that he might leave,
becomes a real shrew. She drives him crazy with her dis-
trust. Finally, unable to take the heat, he demands to know
why his wife is so suspicious of his fidelity. She tells him
about your prediction. He gets mad and sues you for aliena-
tion of affection. You are now stuck with trying to convince
a judge, or jury, that the husband really was thinking about
leaving his wife. Without proof, this could be real tricky.
Your “free” reading could end up costing you a tidy sum.
What's worse, the husband could pack his bags, and leave,
and still blame it on you because you made his wife impos-
sible to live with. The court could easily find you culpable in
the breakup of the marriage.
The above situation really occurred. The litigation was
canceled when the husband’s infidelity was established,
but the amateur diviner lost a good friend in the process.
One of the fundamental laws of life is that nothing is
truly “free.” Every action precipitates a reaction. This means
that every time you read the Tarot cards for someone it will
cause some sort of reaction—be it good, bad, or indifferent.
Therefore, if you are truly good at reading the Tarot cards,
you might as well receive some profit to help offset the
losses. It is like insurance. You hope that you will never
have the necessity of using it, but in the event that a loss
occurs, you have the insurance to cover the cost. So, al-
though itis possible to read the Tarot without establishing a
business, you must be prepared to bear the cost of any
litigation that might occur as a result of your predictions.
There are ways to help prevent lawsuits which are
effective for both the professional and amateur reader.
First, get to know your client before agreeing to read the
cards. Never read the cards for an individual who appears
296 / Enochian Tarot

to have a fragmented, agitated personality. These are the


people who tend to blame others for their own problems.
Second, draw up a simple statement of non-liability and
have it approved by a lawyer. This forms should be similar
to the following example:

JOHN DOE ADVISER SERVICE


1 Main Street, Anywhere, USA
Phone: 111-111-1111

WAIVER OF LIABILITY CERTIFICATE

I
(full name of client)
do hereby certify that Iunderstand that the Enochian Tarot
reading performed by
(name of reader)
at my request, is not an exact prediction of the future, but
rather an indication of future events as they appear at this
time. I accept the belief that my future is not fixed and that I
can change its course at will. I agree to hold
blameless of all liability, both in tort and
(name of reader)
contract for any loss or damage, direct, incidental or conse-
quential for this or any future Enochian Tarot reading.

Client signature Date

Once you have settled on where and how you are


going to practice, the next steps gradually become easier as
you progress in setting up your practice. As with the pre-
liminary steps, your next actions will depend largely on
whether you practice for free or for pay.

The above start-up steps will need to be adapted to


your specific situation. There is no way we can cover all
eventualities. Visit your local library to borrow books on
starting a business in your state. These books can be very
helpful and save you a lot of headaches later on.

Special Notice

It is anormal phenomenon fora deck of Tarot cards to


be psychically imprinted with the diverse, psychic vibra-
tions of the people who touch it. We recommend that pro-
fessional readers provide each client with their own set of
Enochian Tarot cards to ensure that their client’s readings
will not be tainted by a foreign psychic interference. The
reader should use the Enochian Invoking Pentagram Ritual
(or its equivalent) to start the reading and the Enochian
Banishing Pentagram Ritual (or its equivalent) to close
the session.
Each client should be instructed to carry their deck
with them every day for at least one full week in order to
imprint the deck with their unique personal vibrations. The
client should shuffle the deck and meditate on the cards,
touching each one, at least once each day. During this
purification period, the client should also be advised not to
let other people touch his or her deck nor should the client
attempt reading the cards for himself or herself as the read-
ing will invariably be corrupted.

THE ENOCHIAN TAROT DECK
Created by Gerald and Betty Schueler
Painted by Sallie Ann Glassman
The Enochian Tarot is a deck of cards which is primarily used to fore-
tell the future. Forecasting the future, however, is only a superficial
use of the massive powers of the Enochian Tarot. Here is a powerful
tool which allows you to look deep inside your subconscious and
“see” the direction your life is taking. The Enochian Tarot is an easy-
to-use system of self-discovery which allows you to see your relation-
ship to God and the universe.
The Tarot is your map of life. With it you can choose the road you
want to wander. Instead of being an uninformed victim of your sub-
conscious will, you can gather your inner strength and consciously
change the path your life is to take. The Tarot is your key to self-deter-
mination, and with that key you can open any door.
The Enochian Tarot Deck consists of 86 cards which are divided into
2 main sections: a Major Arcana and a Minor Arcana. The Major
Arcana is a set of 30 picture cards which are also called The Greater
Arcana, Trumps, Atouts, or Triumphs. These cards are symbolic rep-
resentations of various cosmic forces such as Doubt, Intuition, Glory,
etc. The Minor Arcana contains 56 cards which represent the Four
Enochian Watchtowers. The Minor Arcana is divided into 4 “suits”
called Earth, Water, Air, and Fire.

ENOCHIAN MAGIC
A Practical Manual
by Gerald J. Schueler
The powerful system of magic introduced in the 16th century by Dr.
John Dee, Astrologer Royal to Queen Elizabeth I, and as practiced by
Aleister Crowley and the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, is
here presented for the first time in a complete, step-by-step form.
There has never before been a book that has made Enochian Magic
this easy!
In this book you are led carefully along the path from “A Brief His-
tory of the Enochian Magical System,” through “How to Speak
Enochian,” “How to Invoke,” “The Calls,” “Egyptian Deities” and
“Chief Hazards” to “How to Visit the Aethyrs in Spirit Vision (Astral
Projection).” Not a step is missed; not a necessary instruction forgot-
ten.

THE ENOCHIAN WORKBOOK
The Enochian Magickal System
Presented in 43 Easy Lessons
by Gerald J. and Betty Schueler
Enochian Magic is an extremely powerful and complex path to spiri-
tual enlightenment. Here, at last, is the first book on the subject writ-
ten specifically for the beginning student. Ideally suited for those who
have tried other books on Enochia and found them to be too difficult,
The Enochian Workbook presents the basic teachings of Enochian Magic
in a clear, easy-to-use workbook.
The authors have employed the latest techniques in educational psy-
chology to help students master the information in this book. The book
is comprised of 11 sections, containing a total of 43 lessons, with test
questions following each section so students can gauge their progress.
You will learn how to conduct selected rituals, skry using a crystal,
and use the Enochian Tarot as a focus for productive meditation. Also
ae Enochian Chess, Enochian Physics (the laws and models
behind how the magic works), and examine the dangers associated
with Enochian Magic. Readers who complete the book will be ready to
tackle the more complex concepts contained in the other books in the
series.
One of the reasons why Enochian Magic is so hard to understand is
that it has a special, complex vocabulary. To help beginning students,
Enochian terms are explained in simple, everyday words, wherever
ossible.

AN ADVANCED GUIDE TO ENOCHIAN MAGICK


A Complete Manual of Angelic Magick
by Gerald J. Schueler
This is a sequel to Enochian Magic: A Practical Manual. In this book,
Schueler provides every Ms for the serious practitioner of the
Enochian system—a system that is complete in itself, and yet easily
related to other systems of Qabalistic or Shamanistic magick. All stu-
dents of the Golden Dawn, Aurum Solis and other mainstream sys-
tems of Western practice will find this work a practical “working
manual” combining theory with exercises, complete rituals and out-
lines for multilevel magical operations. New students will find the
Enochian system particularly modern, reflective of the new physics;
others will be attracted to the feeling of working at the frontiers of the
New Age.
The book includes information not only on Enochian Magick, but also
on Enochian Meditation and Enochian Healing. It is an ideal book for
beginning, intermediate or advanced students of magick and a vital
resource and guidebook for occult Orders and Lodges.

COMING INTO THE LIGHT
Rituals of Egyptian Magick
by Gerald & Betty Schueler
Coming into the Light is the name that the ancient Egyptians gave to a
series of magickal texts known to us today as The Book of the Dead.
Coming into the Light provides modern translations of these famous
texts, and shows that they are not simply religious prayers or spells to
be spoken over the body of a dead king, but rituals to be performed
by living magicians who seek to know the truth about themselves and
their world. Basic Egyptian philosophical and religious concepts are
explained and explored, and ritual texts for a wide variety of mag-
ickal use are presented. For example, the Ritual of the Opening of the
Mouth, perhaps the most well-known of Egyptian rituals, allows a
magician to enter into the higher regions of the Magickal Universe
without losing consciousness. Enough of this ancient wisdom has
been passed down to us so that today we may gain a unique insight
into the workings of those powerful magicians who performed their
operations thousands of years ago.

GOLDEN DAWN ENOCHIAN MAGIC


by Pat Zalewski
Enochian magic is considered by most magicians to be the most pow-
erful system ever created. Aleister Crowley learned this system of
magic from the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, which had
developed and expanded the concepts and discoveries of Elizabethan
magus John Dee. This book picks up where the published versions of
the Enochian material of the Golden Dawn leave off.
Based on the research and unpublished papers of MacGregor Math-
ers, one of the founders of the Golden Dawn, Golden Dawn Enochian
Magic opens new avenues of use for this system. New insights are
given on such topics as the Sigillum Dei Aemeth, the Angels of the
Enochian Aires applied to the 12 tribes of Israel and the Kabbalah, the
91 Governors, the Elemental Tablets as applied to the celestial sphere,
and more. This book provides a long-sought break from amateurish
and inaccurate books on the subject; it is designed to complement
such scholarly classics as Enochian Invocation and Heptarchia Mystica.

tional notes by Regardie, Cris Monnastre, and others. Expanded with
an index of more than 100 pages!
Originally published in four bulky volumes of some 1,200 pages, this

less space-consuming type, in half the pages (while retaining the orig-
inal pagination in marginal notation for reference) for greater ease

Corrections of typographical errors perpetuated in the original and

the Golden Dawn system of Magick, with an Introduction by the only

cration and invocation, methods of meditation and magical working

with the Active Imagination, the Initiation Ceremonies are fully expe-
riential without need of participation in group or lodge. A very com-
plete reference encyclopedia of Western Magick.

ENOCHIAN PHYSICS
The Structure of the Magical Universe
by Gerald J. Schueler
Gerald Schueler has taken the latest discoveries of modern physics
and compared them to the laws of Enochian Physics. He shows how
the magical universe is a natural extension of Einstein’s space/time
continuum. The only ingredient that Einstein left out was conscious-
ness. When this factor is included, the magical universe is revealed.
According to modern physics, matter is a form of energy. In Enochian
Physics you will see that this same energy, the energy of modern
physics, is the very substance, or “matter,” of the magical universe.
The book incorporates magick and the latest concepts in the ever-
changing field of theoretical physics. Quantum mechanics, black and
white holes, alchemy and levitation, quarks and the Big Bang, the
four elements and the four elementary forces are all brought together
within a Grand Unified System of the magical universe. Included are
such tantalizing scientific puzzles as the fluidity of time, the possibil-
ity of parallel universes, matter and antimatter, and the fate of the
stars and galaxies. Those seeking a clear explanation of magical phe-
nomena such as invisibility, astral travel and psychic healing will find
it in the pages of Enochian Physics. Anyone practicing magick or inter-
ested in how magick works should read this book.

tem that is suitable for everyone, from beginners to advanced magi-
cians and yogis. Eight graduated paths of development are described,

and channels of Enochian yoga, which are equivalent to the chakras
and nadis of kundalini yoga. The application of the Enochian worlds
to the meditation techniques and philosophy of yoga makes this mag-
ical development more accessible to those having a cultural or educa-
tional background in the Eastern religions. A thorough method for
spiritual attainment.
