Tattva vision is a technique developed by the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn (probably derived from the elements, or Tattva [also known as Tattwas], of the Samkhya version of Hindu Philosophy) to aid with the development of the faculty of astral clairvoyance.

The tattva symbols
The astral forms of the tattvas and equivalent in Western elements:
Akasha - Spirit black or indigo vesica piscis or egg
Tejas - Fire red equilateral triangle
Vayu - Air blue circle
Apas - Water purple half circle / silver crescent
Prithivi - Earth yellow square
Constructing tattva cards
Tattva cards can be constructed by cutting the tattva symbols out of coloured paper or card, and pasting on to small cards of about 6 inches by 6 inches in size. Alternatively the tattva symbols may be painted onto the cards, or a commercial set of cards may be obtained.
