The topic is presented albeit in different ways, John being more spontaneous or stubborn. As we saw in the comic, John’s first arc was about his determination to go into a foolish choice of taking the skyrocket and dooming the timeline, and Dirk’s dilemma was similarly into the ethics of parallel reality choice and the cloning of himself. If we look upon an answer in the comic, that would be of choice, this we know since we had seen that Mind is choice from Terezi’s coinflips. Neshamah, related to intellect and the awareness of God. The word Ruach, Spirit, also meaneth Air.

The reasoning mind, therefore, is that which useth and combineth the Principia of Chokmah and Binah so that the parts of Chokmah and Binah which touch the Ruach are the initiators of the reasoning power. NEPHESCH answers to the animal instincts. RUACH answers to the mind and reasoning powers. NESCHAMAH answers to the higher aspirations of the Soul. NEPHESCH The lowest, answering to MALKUTH. RUACH The Middle Part, answering to the six Sephiroth from CHESED to YESOD, inclusive.ģ. NESCHAMAH The Highest Part, answering to the Three Supemals.Ģ.

THE SOUL is divided by the Qabalists into three Principal Parts:-ġ. Then we can answer the question, what do these aspects have in common? We find further nuances on the air triad (Breath - Mind - Heart) if we look unto the word Ruach, which itself means air, aka Breath. This is a follow-up to the previous post in which we named the natural element that each aspect belonged to. Same for the Enochian bishop.Ĭhess homestuck kabbalah enochian chess chess variants It tries to move in a straight line like a ray of light, but the board has been divided from 2 to 4 sides… you do the maths. The queen, however, does not have such a freedom in 4-player Chess. Or perhaps in the rules themselves? Whenever Chess has an oddity like an assymetrical piece (not the knight, rook or bishop), checkmate rulings or en passant, it’s clear that we can also assign it to the spirit. In the board, this fifth element is said to be present in the movement of the pieces. Unless the circle is meant to say only one square? Is water close to spirit? Is queen water+spirit? It’s the movement of the king to all sides. The symbol of the fifth element, spirit, is symbolized as… that’s right. This is where it gets eerie in the matter of retroactive coincidences. This represents how Caliborn isn’t smart but as he’s Lord, Time revolves around him. Whence it is represented by the motion of only one square in anyĭirection and there staying for this purpose before moving onward) and Lord is supposed to be the most active class, its movement is small only one square. Wherever it goeth, it commenceth and initiateth a fresh current, Caliborn is shown in an egyptian themed coffin in the finale.Īlthough it’s said that it influences the flow of the game (by Enochian Chess Qabbalists We don’t know of a session where him or Page are not there. (At the least as far as we’re concerned, not knowing of a session without the Lord). It has to be checkmated, though not killed (as it’s “immortal”).ĭoing so is the goal of the game.The king is perfectly analogous to Caliborn. Light is a good analogy for water as they both spread to all directions available to it. Muse, if not the queen, is too passive to participate.Īs for the board, a Sburbian set can perhaps have its Angles be breath, light, time and space. Page, pawn, is a mix of elements and spirit.Though most sources note that Enochian Chess is influenced by Shatranj, it’s even closer to Chaturaji as you can see.Įnochian Chess gives an attribution of elements to the boards and pieces that’s relevant, though the part where it has four boards (each with a different element likewise) because of similarity to the Enochian tablet and can be used for divination will be overlooked as it’s not to do with Homestuck. We’ll look into Chess and two variants allowing 4-players. Pawn is also a clear analogue to Page, who is said to become a threat in the end of the game (a reference to promotion). Knight is already a piece and Sburb class both. Chess pieces each have a name analogos to a class.Some pieces, such as the Pawn, show up many times, but we assume there’s only one Page player.This has to be re-interpreted in some way, such as the competition being an illusion or what else. A Sburb session is co-operative, though the trolls initially mistake it for a competition.Now, there’s one big dissimilarity between Chess and a Sburb session.
