Working with Flauros Haures: true answers, and a two-inch seal carried and worked with
Flauros Haures, and true answers
Flauros Haures is a name that appears in Goetia work under two forms, Flauros and Haures, for the same spirit. The Grimoire Companion notes describe Haures as a Duke who answers truly of past, present, and future, and who destroys the practitioner's enemies. Those are two different kinds of work, and they are connected in a way that is worth thinking about. True answers about the past, the present, and the future are not the same as comforting answers, or answers that confirm what you already wanted to hear. A true answer can be unwelcome, and it can change what you thought you were going to do next. That is the point of asking for one, and it is also why the question you ask matters as much as the answer you receive.
Before you think about any tool for Flauros Haures work, be clear about which kind of work you mean. Are you asking about something past, something present, or something to come, and can you state the question in one clear sentence? Or is the matter an enemy, an opposition, or a conflict, in the sense described for this spirit, where the work is about dealing with that opposition rather than about divination? Those are different petitions, and they should not be blurred together. A divination question asked as if it were a conflict, or a conflict treated as if it were a question, will produce a working that is hard to read afterwards. Write the matter down in one sentence, and leave it overnight, to see if it still reads true.
A seal is not a picture of a seal
A seal for Flauros Haures should be a seal, not a picture of one. That distinction sounds simple, and it is, but it changes how you work with the thing in your hands. A picture can be looked at. A seal can be carried, anointed, fumigated, placed on an altar, and worked with over time. It has weight, it has a surface you can touch, and it stays with you after the working is over, in a way a printed image does not. If you are new to this kind of work, ask yourself, before you order, whether you actually want a working tool to carry, or whether you want a picture to look at. Both have their place, but they are not the same thing, and ordering one when you meant the other leads to disappointment that has nothing to do with the quality of the object.
This seal is a pendant, two inches, which is a substantial size to carry and to work with. A two-inch pendant is easy to hold in the hand during a working, easy to see clearly on an altar, and easy to place under a candle or to fumigate. It is larger than a small daily-wear pendant, and that size fits work that is done deliberately, at a set time, rather than work that is carried unnoticed all day. Think about how you will actually use it before you order: where it will be kept, what cord or chain you trust for it, and whether you will wear it for workings, keep it on an altar, or both. Those practical matters are part of the working, not an afterthought to it.
How a lost-wax cast seal is made
The seals offered here are lost wax cast seals of the Daemon Demons of the various grimoires. In lost-wax casting, the seal is first worked in wax, then cast in metal from that wax form. The wax is lost in the process, which is where the name comes from, and the metal that remains is a solid, cast object, not a printed shell. You can feel that difference when you hold it: a cast seal has weight, it has a surface that shows the hand work, and it does not have the layered texture of a printed object.
That process also explains why a cast seal is made to order, and why it takes time. A seal that is already listed takes about two to three weeks, while seals that are not listed, but are under the other option, take eight weeks, because she still has not carved their waxes yet. That is a practical detail, and it is worth knowing before you order, because it affects how the pendant hangs and how it will wear over time.
Working with a seal: holding, anointing, carrying, wearing, showing
Working with a seal, in the general guidance given for seal articles on this site, includes holding it, putting it under a candle, putting oil on it, carrying it with you, wearing it as a pendant, and showing it to the desired person, specific to each seal and spirit. For Flauros Haures, those ways take particular forms. Holding the seal, before you ask a question about past, present, or future, is a way of marking that question time as set apart. Putting it under a candle, while you sit with the question, is a way of keeping the working present while you listen. Putting oil on it, anointing it deliberately, naming the purpose in your own words, is a way of marking it for that purpose, with a matching oil if your practice calls for one.
Carrying it, and wearing it as a pendant, are the most ordinary and the most constant ways of working with a seal, and they fit a two-inch pendant when it is worn for a working rather than all day without thought. Wear it when you are working, and put it away properly when you are not, rather than leaving it in a pocket with keys and loose change, or on a bathroom shelf. Showing it to the desired person, in this context, means letting the seal be seen, in the course of a meeting, rather than hiding it, when showing is appropriate and when you are willing to be seen showing it. That openness is part of the work, not a trick, and it should only be done when the situation calls for it. Anointing and fumigating are companion practices: passing the seal through incense smoke, to start a working, and for fumigating the tools and talismans that will be used in it, and anointing it with oil, deliberately, rather than quickly.
Preparing to work, and a simple working order
Preparation is most of the work, and with a seal that preparation starts before the seal arrives. Be clear about why you are working with Flauros Haures, what question or opposition you mean, and what you are prepared to do yourself, including the ordinary-world work: checking the facts about the past, looking plainly at the present, and preparing for the future you are asking about, rather than only asking about it. If you cannot state the matter in one clear sentence, write it down, leave it overnight, and come back to see if it still reads true. A true answer is only useful if you are willing to hear it, and willingness is something you can test in yourself before you ask.
When the seal arrives, do not start by wearing it everywhere at once. Take time to look at it, to hold it, and to set it aside in a clean place that is used for your working tools. If your practice calls for cleansing or consecration of a new tool, follow the instructions you already follow in your system. A general article like this one is not a substitute for proper teaching in the system, and it should not be used to invent a consecration rite for a seal you have not been taught to consecrate. The following is a general order, not a fixed script. First, prepare the room and yourself. Second, set out the seal, and any oil, incense, or candle you will use. Third, anoint or fumigate the seal, if your practice calls for it, deliberately, naming the purpose in your own words. Fourth, speak your question or petition, clearly and once, rather than repeating it until it loses its shape. Fifth, sit quietly for a time and listen, rather than filling every moment with more words. Sixth, close the working properly, in whatever way your practice requires, and put the seal away in its proper place, or wear it, as your practice directs.
When this is not the right work
Sometimes the right answer is not a spirit working at all. If the situation is a legal matter, a safety matter, or a medical matter, deal with that matter in the ordinary world first, or at the same time. Ritual work is not a substitute for a lawyer, a doctor, or for leaving a dangerous situation. If you are unsure whether a working is appropriate, wait, ask a teacher you trust, or choose a simpler practice first and see how that sits. Divination, in particular, should not be used to avoid a decision you already know you need to make, or to put off a conversation that needs to happen in the ordinary world. A true answer about the future does not remove the need to act in the present.
It is also worth asking whether the question you are bringing is one you actually need an outside answer for, or one you already know the answer to and are putting off acting on. In the second case, a seal and a working may simply give you a more elaborate way of delaying. That is not a failure of the seal. It is a sign that the next step is not another working, but the decision or conversation you have been circling. Be honest with yourself about which situation you are in, because the record you keep will show it, even if you do not say it out loud.
Care for a cast pendant, and knowing when to stop
Care for a cast metal pendant is practical, not mystical. Pure cast metal will show wear over time, especially if it is worn often, against skin, against clothing, and against other objects. That wear is normal for a working tool, and it is not a sign that the seal has stopped working. It is a sign that it has been carried. Keep the pendant in a clean, dry place when you are not wearing it, away from other metal objects that could scratch it, and clean it gently, with a soft cloth, without harsh chemicals, unless you know, for the specific metal involved, that such a cleaner is safe.
If the bail loosens, or if the pendant shows damage, stop wearing it until it can be repaired properly. A tool that is falling apart is a distraction in a working, and a safety risk if it can fall off unnoticed. Keep a short record for each working: date, purpose in one sentence, what you did, and what you noticed afterwards, over days and weeks, not just on the night itself. Do not repeat the same working endlessly in the hope that repetition alone will force a result. Do the work properly, once, observe, and then decide, calmly, whether a second working, a different approach, or no further working is the right next step. Repetition without reflection is not persistence. It is noise.
