IHQ was in New York quite a few years ago, and a P.O.Box is maintained there (with books carrying the OTO address, once you run a P.O.Box for a while, you tend to get stuck with it). After that, IHQ moved to North Carolina for a few years, later relocating to Austin Texas. IHQ is strictly speaking in Austin Texas, Southern California and Northern California. The Frater Superior and internal HQ is in Austin, the Secretary General is in S.California and both the Treasurer General and the corporate principal office is in San Anselmo with a P.O.Box in Fairfax, just north of San Francisco. Electronic communications make one, central office unnecessary. >Maybe it has something to do with the same reason I once thought >about moving to Austin, because of the Fuller collection at >the Harry Ransom Center. > >Bill H., if you're listening, do you have an electronic version >of the catalogue of what is available in the Fuller collection? Nope, but I do have a photocopy of the card catalogue as it was in the mid 1980's e.v. I also have a bit of it on microfilm and some photocopies. The Fuller part of the collection is not the main bit. The collection there also includes the traveling library and files Crowley lost in Detroit after WWI. He blaimed Achad for the loss, and that contributed to their estrangement. The materials were found over a decade ago and ended up in the HRHRC at Austin U of Tx. >I remember somebody's Enochian tablets are in there but I can't >recall offhand if they are Crowley's or Bennet's or ? Crowley's hand painted Enochian tablets are there -- I have color slides of them. Also there are the working papers by Fuller and Bennet on Enochiana, including a dictionary of the language and additional new materials. >There is a picture of an 'Elemental Enochian Tablet of Fire' >in the new R.A.

There is not the separate >coloring scheme for each sub-quadrant which you see in sources >like the Cicero books. Which makes me wonder about the coloring >scheme in those Enochian Tablets in the Fuller collection. The color scheme of the Crowley tablets at Austin is a relatively simple one. The tablet of Spirit has a white back-ground, black grid with elemental correspondence triangles in the upper corners of each square. >From top, the English alphabet letters are in the following colors, each row same color: yellow, blue, black, red. The four Elemental tablets are also drawn as grids with English alphabet letters, but the field coloration is a little more complex: the four corner crosses, double vertical division and single horizontal division of the main cross are in one color while the general background is in another. All letters on the crosses are in the general background color. All other letters are in subquadrant colors somewhat following the colors used on the tablet of Spirit, but there is a more complex cycle and possibly some fading to the point that clear identification of original color is not always definite. The background colors of the Elemental tablets are: Fire-Red, Water-Blue, Air-Yellow, Earth-Black. These colors apparently are also used for the letters in the sub-quadrants, except where the same color would be used by elemental correspondence for the background of the subquadrant -- in those cases, it appears that Crowley tried for a flashing color; but I can't make it out very well. Each square on the Elemental tablets contains one English letter, no doubles such as are found in Dee's and Kelly's manuscripts. Some letters are upper case on the Elemental tablets while others are lower case. All letters on the tablet of Spirit are lower case, and there is a letter "L" with square serifs, like an Enochian "X" flipped top to bottom, in the upper left corner of that tablet, just below the spirit symbol in the upper-left most square. 93 93/93 Bill ____________...oooOOO---thelema93-l@hollyfeld.org---OOOooo..._____________ To subscribe send: 'subscribe thelema93-l' to majordomo@hollyfeld.org To unsubscribe send: 'unsubscribe thelema93-l' to majordomo@hollyfeld.org http://www.hollyfeld.org/heaven -- (emailed replies may be posted); http://www.hollyfeld.org/~tyagi; 408/2-666-SLUG join the esoteric syncretism in alt.magick.tyagi; http://www.abyss.com/tokus
