In the name of ADONAI HA-ARETZ (אֲדוֹנָי הָאָרֶץ), Lord of the Earth, I call upon URIEL (אוּרִיאֵל), archangel of the North and of Earth, and upon the ASHIM (אֲשִׁים), the angelic choir of Malkuth: be present at this working and guide the hand that marks the points. I call upon GAVRIEL, archangel ruling the day and hour of Luna, and upon SHELACHEL, the Intelligence of Luna, that the spirit CHASMODAI may serve this divination under their rule. Let the figure show what is true, and nothing else.
In our own words, on the Golden Dawn's order of names as Crowley gives it in “Liber O” (The Equinox I(2), 1909). The figures' meanings in the houses are the Golden Dawn's table from his “A Handbook of Geomancy” in the same number; the houses follow Agrippa's Fourth Book (Turner, 1655).

How to cast a reading
Frame your question and decide which of the twelve houses it belongs to: money in the second, travel in the ninth, love and partnership in the seventh.
Make the four Mothers. Each row of a figure is one point (odd) or two (even). Tap a row to switch it, which lets you copy in figures you made yourself from dots on paper or in sand. Or press the dice under a Mother for a random figure from your browser's secure random generator. The page opens on an example, so roll or enter all four.
Read the rest. The page derives the four Daughters by reading the Mothers across, row by row. It then adds the figures in pairs to make the four Nephews (often called Nieces), the two Witnesses and the Judge. Adding counts the points: an odd total gives one point, an even total two.
Interpreting it
Choose the house. The page shows each Witness and the Judge with its meaning in that house, marked good or bad from that meaning; correct any mark you read differently, and the page gives the verdict. A good Judge from two good Witnesses is good. A good Judge from mixed Witnesses promises success after delay and vexation. Two good Witnesses with a bad Judge end badly.
The twelve figures, Mothers, Daughters and Nephews, are set in the twelve houses of an astrological chart with their signs and planets, as in the Golden Dawn's astrological geomancy. Download the chart as SVG or PNG, or copy a link that restores the same reading.
The planet and the hour
Before casting, choose the planet that suits your question. The page gives its intelligence and spirit, draws the spirit's sigil in a pentagram, and offers an invocation adapted from Geomancy in the Golden Dawn. It also lists the planet's coming planetary hours at your location.
