The Finder

Read this before you use the Finder. What this page gathers was assembled with the help of an AI model from the sources named on this site, and checked by us as far as we could. It is still the work of a machine and can contain mistakes. Check everything it shows against the sources yourself before you rely on it. Hermetic Cloud is not responsible for results or errors that follow from acting on what it gathers; it describes what the sources say and recommends nothing.
The rite, in order
  1. 1 · BanishThe Lesser Ritual of the Pentagram and the Lesser Ritual of the Hexagram, both banishing.
  2. 2 · OpenThe Opening by the Watchtower: the four quarters are called in turn, then, at the altar, the Tablet of Union; three rounds with the sun and the Adoration, and the temple is open.
  3. 3 · The First KeyAt the altar, where the Opening has invoked the Tablet of Union by its four names, the First Key, which Liber Chanokh gives to that tablet; the Second after it when the work is in the Tablet of Union itself. The four Watchtowers take their own Keys, which follow.
  4. 4 · The workThe Key of the tablet, the Key of the angle where the angle is another, and the names vibrated at their quarter: this is what the Finder gathers below.
  5. 5 · CloseThe Adoration again, three rounds against the sun, the licence to depart, and the banishing Hexagram and Pentagram.

The Golden Dawn's order, after Regardie's Opening by the Watchtower; the rule of the Keys is Liber Chanokh's.

The concordance

Choose what the request concerns

The finder works from sixteen kinds of intention: fourteen drawn from the offices the sources state, and two, love and the inward path, where the sources give no office and the page says so. Where a choice is yours to make, it says that too, and one question is asked at a time.

The offices are Dee's, from the Tabula bonorum angelorum invocationes (Sloane MS 3191), and the Kings of the Heptarchy his, from De Heptarchia Mystica. The names are derived from the tablets on the Enochian page by the rules of Liber Chanokh, which also gives the Keys and their pronunciation; the parts of the earth are Dee's Liber Scientiae. No name on this page is invented: each is Dee's, or read from the tablets by Liber Chanokh's rules.
