Enochian Chess

Game of the Adepti
1 to 4 players - with Encylopedia of Magick

The powerful Enochian System of Magick was adapted by Victorian Adepts of the Golden Dawn into "a complete system of training and initiation" which was originally taught to Candidates only after having reached the exalted grade of Zelator Adeptus Minor.

This game incorporates the outer-order knowledge of the Golden Dawn hermetic order and subsumes other divination systems such as Tarot, Geomancy, and Astrology. Enochian (Rosicrucian) Chess provides a complete method of self-initiation into the Western mystery tradition.

You can rise through the grades from Neophyte to Zelator Adeptus Minor, and can use the game for practical ACTIVE divination (to alter/influence events as well as to predict) as opposed to fatalistic-based PASSIVE systems such as Tarot and the rest where the questioner plays no active role in the outcome of their reading. Underlying this chess variant is a complex net of magical correspondences based on Egyptian, Tarot, elemental, and geomantic symbolism

1982 was the first time the sets had been seen by the uninitiated public. The launch was supported by a grant from Prince Charles Award Trust. Israel Regardie helped with the project.
