DEFINITION:
A magickal name or expression. Magicians choose one for themselves as a representation of what they magically represent. The use of such mottos is common in many magical orders, the most famous known examples being from the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. However, most of those mottos were simply family mottos or taken from a book of family mottos. Similar to the magickal name used by many contemporary Pagans.
