The Enochian Tablets

Dr.John Dee and Edward Kelly were the pioneers who blazed the trail. Along the trail of forgotten and lost knowledge were the four Watchtowers of the Universe. These Watchtower Tablets were adapted by Mathers to represent the four elements of Fire,mWater, Air and Earth

There is a definite hierarchy to each of these Tablets , but comes from the study of the Qabalah. It is the Divine name of the Element in Hebrew that first must be intoned and invoked. The reason is that the Hebrew represents the Celestial influence and governance and the Enochian hierarchy represents the Assiac or material governance.

In each tablet there are three secret holy names of God wich are extracted from the horizontal cross bar of the central cross of each Tablet. In all there are twelve holy names on four Tablets wich infer a serious connection and bridge between the Macrocosm and the personal Microcosm of one's own "sphere of sensation."

These names are invoked during the four Elemental Grade Ceremonies (initiations) by the Hierophant of the Golden Dawn in the Outer. Through the power of the secret names the general nature of the element involved in the initiation is filtred through the Tablet into the "Aura" or sphere of sensation of the advancing candidate. The result is the establishment of a magical link and affinity with the element of the initiation. This serves to empower the candidate in that new elemental powers are now avalible to him or her.

This process depends on a trained and empowered Hierophant, and can, in fact, be performed in full Temple iastrallyî to allow the elemental link to exist for members who live hundreds or even thousands of miles from a Temple.

The Elemental King

The Elemental Kings are extracted from a spiral whirl around the Central Cross to be found on each Tablet. There are four Elemental Kings in all, one in each Tablet. When the Adept invokes the three Secret Holy Names of God, the Kings is also automatically activated. In addition, the King may be invoked as a specific force. The King is always invoked when lower elemental forces on the Tablet are to be utilized.

The Seniors

There are six Seniors on each of the four elemental Tablets. This makes a total of twenyfour Seniors in all. The Seniors follow the King in the order of Hierarchy. The Seniors are found in the Book of Revelations as the 24 Elders who bow down before the throne of God.

The Seniors act as a kind of funnel for the specific forces of a particular planet. The King relates to Sol. The planetary forces of the Seniors is configured and transformed within the specific elemental Nature of the Tablets.
In all workings where the King is invoked, so are the Seniors in that they work in a kind of collaboration with the elemental King. There are rituals such as the Consecration of an Elemental Tool when the power of the Seniors are called upon. This allows the elemental Weapon to receive in the charging phase the Planetary powers through the elemental nature of the planet.
Later when needed by a trained Adept, the tool can then project this force for the purpose of magical and alchemical workings.

CALVARY CROSS ANGELS (SEPHIROTIC CROSS)

There are four Sephirotic Crosses on each Tablet. They are often referred to as Calvary Crosses. There is one cross in each sub-element. Thus, on the Fire Tablet, there are four sub-elements of Air, Water, Fire, Earth. There is a cross in each. On a colored depiction of the Tablets these crosses are white, which like the Seniors denote a spiritual nature rather than an elemental one.
There are two angels per cross. One calls forth a serviant angel and the other is used to command the angel. These angels are only invoked when the Adept wishes to work with a specific subserviant angel.

KERUBIC SQUARE ANGELS

These angels work under the Angels of the Sephirotic Cross. These Angels help to regulate and balance the forces employed. They may be utilized for pyramid working and other important elemental considerations. They are formed from the first letter in each file above the Calvary Cross and are permutated to provide (4) in total per sub section.

TABLET OF UNION

The Elemental Tablets are introduced one at a time in the Grade Initiations of the Golden Dawn. There is an important Initiation that is not depicted on the Qabalistic Tree of Life. It is the Portal Initiation. It is attributed to the top point of the pentagram which is Spirit. Thus, in the Portal Initiation of our Order, the Tablet of Union is introduced as it represents the building Spirit or actuating glue between the elements. The highest name of Spirit in this Tablet is EHNB. This is the purest Spiritual force and is only invoked when some empowering is required from the direct force of spirit. The Tablet of Union is placed on the center Altar to act as the central hub from which the Elemental Tablets are spokes.
