However, the Golden Dawn's founding documents, the so-called "cipher manuscripts," MAY date back to a much earlier incarnation of the cult, and this earlier incarnation MAY have influenced the designers of the American "great seal." The Golden Dawn's use of the "pyramid without a capstone" is only peripherally, however, in the game of "Enochian Chess," where each unit-cell on the board-game is a truncated pyramid. Therefore, if we can rule out both the Illuminati and Freemasonry as being the designer of this specific symbol, is there any other school that shares this symbol that could have contributed to its origin? The only other school remaining that makes use of the "truncated pyramidon" or "pyramid without a capstone," is the Order of the Golden Dawn, who, in modern times, date only back as far as the ealry 1900's, some 125 years after the "great seal" symbol was designed. It has been suggested by some scholars that the "missing capstone" of the pyramid relates to the "stone the builders rejected" aspect of the Christian and Masonic myths, and this does a play a significant role in both York and Scottish Rite rituals, however when the "great seal" symbol originated only the "blue lodge" of Masonry existed, and neither the York or Scottish Rites had branched off from it, which may signify the later Masonic Rites borrowing from the same source as the "great seal" symbol was derived, or else merely elaborating and placing emphasis on the same myth. While many of the American founding fathers were known to have been Freemasons, only the "eye of providence" (the "all-seeing eye" of god) was a Masonic symbol at that time.

It entered the symbolism lexicon in around 1778, when the "great seal" was being designed for the new "American" nation. It has been noted by many scholars of the subject that the "eye in the pyramid" symbol, although associated with them now, was NOT, originally, a symbol used by the Bavarian Illuminati. This "all-seeing eye" signifies the elevated "sphinx" or playing-piece as an "Annunaki," an ancient word for the pantheon of deities meaning "Watchers." Thus, the "sphinx" or "god-form" / playing-piece in Enochian Chess is equivalent to the "eye of providence" atop the "unfinished pyramid" in the reverse US Great Seal, found on the back of the US federal reserve "1$" note. In "Enochian Chess," the "sphinx," "god-form" or "avatar" as "playing piece" stands upright above the "pyramidon" or "truncated pyramid," missing its capstone, which supports the "god-form" or "sphinx" / piece on the board, each of which represents a single unit-cell on the "tiling board" of the "board game" of Enochian Chess itself. My own "word of power" is "Peace." This is what I bring forth as my contribution to defining this newly dawning aeon. Therefore, choose your "favorite" word, and choose wisely, for it defines who you are, who you were and who you will be during this dawning of the new aeon. We each bring forth into shape our own reality by the words we choose to use to describe it. "Thelema" was the word Aleister Crowley brought forth to shape the new aeon, but the new aeon did not dawn over Crowley alone, it is occurring now for all of us. The Geomantic figures attributed to the squares on the board provide further insight into that square.0 + 1 = 1. The Querent, selects the board to be used and the Angle on that board that he or she will play, but must also choose one of the six-teen figures of Geomancy to represent the question and place Ptah on the square with the appropriate Geomantic symbol making that the Ptah Square. 0Ĥ The Querent is the Prime Mover and has the first move with the other three players assisting. And as well, there are commonalities between the Water and the Air Boards for the Astrological attributions for the tables pictured above. The Earth Board will refer to all material plane matters of money, work, employment, occupation, and so forth.ģ To make the attributions easier to see, we have commonalities between the Fire and the Earth Boards for the Astrological attributions on the tables pictured above. The Element of Air indicates Sickness and Sorrow and unhappiness generally. 2 The Water Board involves issues of pleasure, happiness, merry-making, and marriage.
