If it is facing down, we get the GD's assignment, ORO-East, OIP-South, MPH-West, and MOR-North. If it is facing up, we get Dee's assignment, ORO-East, OIP-North, MPH-West, MOR-South. Dee was told, in conjunction with the original tablet, that the ORO tablet is in the East, so this gives two natural directional assignments in conjunction with the original tablet. In any event, the directional assignments of the tablets depend on which version of the Great Tablet one uses as well as whether one takes the tablets as facing up or down, or in other words having the writing on the top or bottom. Some people instead assign ORO-fire, OIP-water, MPH-air, MOR-earth, which perhaps makes sense if one's understanding of the elements is heavily influenced by the YHVH formula. One may then assign water to MPH and the other of fire and air to OIP on the other yin with other yin and other yang with other yang theory. It seems natural to assign earth to the MOR tablet and whichever of fire and air is deemed more spiritual or less dense to ORO. The tablets also seem to have a natural order ORO-OIP-MPH-MOR. The best characterization of the tablets that I have been able to come up with is ORO-celestial yang, OIP-earthly yang, MPH-celestial yin, MOR-earthly yin.
The tablets are not primarily elemental, and there are a number of elemental and directional attributions in use. Enochian chess might be taken as a smaller scale example. Benjamin Rowe's Enochian Temples is the best example of this. The squares and crosses have a degree of solidity that makes them useful for building various types of structures. I believe that these correspond to the final groups of 16 spirits seen in Kelley's vision of the watchtowers. There is a spirit associated with each of the serviant squares. This is discussed below for the subquarter crosses I have not figured out much about the great or black crosses. The crosses seem to have a natural structure as crosses. The squares of each type seem to be homogeneous, so it is possible to assign whatever sort of attribution one likes to them, though something compatible with whatever attributions are assigned to the angels in probably desirable. The squares of the tablet come in a variety of types: the Black Cross squares, the Spiritu Sancti line squares, the rest of the squares of the great crosses, the kerubic squares, the subquarter cross squares, and the serviant squares. The subquarter angels seem to have a larger degree of direct involvement with the squares and crosses of their portions of the tablets than do the seniors and other names drawn from the great crosses. The tablets serve as an interface through which the angels and others may be contacted and may act.
This gives a total of 32 possible arrangements, 2 places for ORO relative to the Black Cross * 2 places for MOR adjacent to ORO * 2 arrangements of MPH and OIP * 4 rotations. The subtablets in the center have a root-like quality for each arrangement, whereas the rest are more manifesting. Subtablets in the center of the Great Tablet: This gives the following names to be used with the various subquarters in forming kerubic god-names and cacodemon names: The arrangement of the names on the Black Cross given to Dee is correct if the lower right subquarters are in the center otherwise they need to be rotated one step for each counterclockwise rotation of the tablets. In order for the four tablets to be bound together, it is necessary to rotate three of them so that corresponding subquarters are in the center of the Great Tablet. I have been told that any arrangement of the tablets in the Great Tablet is allowed provided that the ORO and MOR tablets are adjacent. These are sometimes referred to as the original and reformed versions respectively. Dee received two versions of the Great Tablet which featured the tablets in the orders (clockwise from top left) ORO-MOR-MPH-OIP and ORO-MPH-OIP-MOR. For convenience, the four tablets will be referred to by their three-letter banner names.
