ENOCHIAN CHESS originates from Dr John Dee, magus & astrologer to Elizabeth I. His powerful system of magic was later adapted by adepts of the Victorian Order of the Golden Dawn into "a complete system of training and initiation." Enochian Chess was originally taught to Candidates only after their having reached the exalted grade of Zelator Adeptus Minor, Z.A.M.
The game incorporates the whole outer order knowledge of the Golden Dawn hermetic order and subsumes other divination systems such as Tarot, Geomancy, and Astrology. Enochian (or Rosicrucian) Chess provides a complete method of self-initiation into the Western mystery tradition.You may use the game for practical ACTIVE divination, to alter & influence events as well as to simply predict, as opposed to PASSIVE (fatalistic) divination systems such as Tarot and Astrology where the questioner plays no positive role in determining the outcome of their reading.
We have supplied Enochian Chess sets and software to the magical community since 1983.
The new version of our Windows CDROM has several advantages over the physical sets - although both formats have their strengths. The CDROM includes a multimedia encyclopedia that covers the immense knowledge needed to self-initiate and then to master this phenomenally powerful game. Texts of complete magikal and alchemical books are included, as well as audio-readings from the rare Secret Book of Enoch, John Dee’s Enochian Calls &c. Also as online DOWNLOAD without encyclopedia.
Our training course has recently been updated and improved, after feedback from students. All are welcome to take this course. Enochian Chess cannot be “mastered” in a weekend like Reiki! However, it is fairly logical and progressive to learn. One effect of playing Enochian Chess is that the game initiates you into its strong and beneficial magical current. By study and play of the game the hidden mysteries of Thoth-Hermes are often revealed; and the prophetic accuracy of Enochian Chess can be uncanny!
“A Complete system of Initiation and a profound magical philosophy is hidden beneath the cloak of this apparently trivial game” The Golden Dawn, Vol IV. Francis Israel Regardie
