The Tablet of Union, however, is not used. In this game, the pieces are Egyptian god-forms, and the boards are certain adaptations of the Enochian Tablets. Some experience, also in employing the Pyramids for skrying in the Spirit-Vision will be required before any real appreciation of Enochian chess can be acquired. By this, I mean, that while playing a chess-game, the movement of a piece from one square to another should provide much material for thought, for the squares on the boards, as on the Tablets, may be formulated as Pyramids. It will have been necessary as a preliminary step to have become perfectly familiar with the attributions of the Squares, so that any pyramid can be built up instantaneously in the imagination too. However, the student who has mastered the foregoing sections of the Book of the Concourse of the Forces will no doubt be able to divine the relationship existing between the profundities of the Enochian Tablets and this chess-game. It is not there-fore my intention to say very much about Rosicrucian chess, although it can be stated that the perspicacious student will divine ideas of great import and discover a depth of magical significance hidden under the cloak of an apparently trivial game. No doubt it was intended, by those who wrote the papers and devised the system, that the Adepti should apply his own ingenuity to the bare-bones provided of the game, and formulate from that skeleton outline, as from the Enochian Tablets themselves, a complete system of initiation, and a profound magical philosophy. And the actual documents on the subject that were shown to me were vague and obviously incomplete, giving no indication as to the true nature of this matter. Also the unmounted state of the Order chess-pieces was a clear indication that they had never and could never have been employed–like other aspects of the Order teaching. On two of three occasions I have asked Adepti of the rank of 7=4 to play a game with me using my chess pieces and boards, though each politely backed out of the invitation. All that I ever heard were fulsome praises of its remarkable divinatory capacity, together with quite a few amusing comments by those who manifestly knew nothing about it, though no precise indication was conveyed as to its procedure. It is probable that the knowledge of this system died with the early members. Nothing that was of practical value, as throwing any light on the nature and function of the game, was thrown on the subject by any of the Order members within the sphere of my acquaintance. Whether this same condition applies to other Temples is hard to say, though, from conversation with certain of the Adepti of those Temples, I gather the same conditions there prevailed. No one in the Order, or my Temple, seemed to know anything about it. This is one of the sub-divisions of the Angelic system of Tablets about which, sad to say, very little can be said.
