Ave,
I've noticed that there are almost no images of the Enochian Chess Boards (that aren't absolutely horrible) available to those of us working that system; when I first started studying Enochian Chess, I bought a ready made board from a certain well meaning individual. When it arrived, I was thoroughly disappointed at the quality-while I appreciate that he made the effort when no one else had, it was not suitable for use. The boards need to be beautiful as far as I am concerned-bad coloring or a sense of cheapness ruin my concentration. So, in order to make my personal boards I'm doing the following:
-Making high quality vector-based images of the boards, with the full correspondences.
-Uploading them to plywerk.com, and having the board printed with quality inks and on a pleasant wooden base.
-Hand painting the Figurines.

-Distributing the images so my fellow magicians don't have to sweat for a week on their laptops. =)
Below is the Enochian Chess Board of Earth-click on it for the big 12x12 version, perfect for printing on the boards at plywerk. And no, plywerk isn't paying me-I wish they were...those boards are expensive! I'm just stoked to have a solution for making the chessboard that is beautiful and simple to execute. I'll post the boards of Air, Fire, and Water as I complete them.
I make no claims at being a great scholar-there may be mistakes. You're welcome to the boards, just be sure to examine them well. If you want a simple way to create the boards, the method I mentioned above couldn't be easier, and with beautiful result. I'll post images of my physical set as soon as it's completed.
