These members were known and sometimes referred to in many publications by these mottoes. Members of these organizations typically adopted such a motto at their [[initiation]] into the [[neophyte]] grade of the organizations. jwhbdckjbcfebfce penis face kjdjbsdchbsdc goergie lee <3's penis Magical mottoes are taken in order to separate the magician's magical identity from their mundane identity within the context of magical work.<ref>[http://www.hermeticgoldendawn.org/gd-glossary.htm#M Hermetic Golden Dawn Glossary]</ref> Within the highly influential tradition of the [[Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn]], the mottoes chosen were usually in a foreign language, often but not always [[Latin]]. The mottoes were sometimes called the initiate's "aspiration name," and most contain high-minded sentiments and often literary allusions.<ref>[[Israel Regardie]], ''The Golden Dawn'' (Llewellyn Publications, 1986)</ref> Members were free to change them upon receiving initiations into higher degrees of the organizations; [[William Butler Yeats]] began as ''Festina Lente'' (Latin: "Make haste slowly") and changed it later in his career with the Golden Dawn. Within the Golden Dawn tradition, documents and instructions were typically issued under the initials of the magical mottoes of their authors. For example, the document ''Of Skrying and Travelling in the Spirit-Vision'' was written by [[Moina Bergson Mathers]], and as such appears credited to "Soror V.N.R.", standing for her motto ''Vestigia Nulla Retrorsum''. And, ''The Tree of Life as Projected as a Solid Sphere'' is credited to "S.R.M.D.", indicating that its author was [[Samuel Liddell MacGregor Mathers]]. Within this tradition, users of magical mottoes typically referred to each other in their capacity as initiates as ''Frater'' (men) or ''Soror'' (women), Latin for "brother" and "sister" respectively, followed by the initials of their magical mottoes.<ref>[[Israel Regardie]], ''The Golden Dawn'' (Llewellyn, 1988) ISBN 0-87542-663-8</ref> ==Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn== {{main|Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn|Isis-Urania Temple}} *Julian Baker -- ''Causa Scientiae'' (Latin: "For the sake of knowledge") <ref name="king">King, Ritual Magic, 1989</ref> *[[Edward Berridge]] -- ''Resurgam'' (Latin: "I will rise again") *[[Aleister Crowley]] -- ''Perdurabo'' (Latin: "I Will endure to the end") *[[Florence Farr]] -- ''Sapientia Sapienti Dona Data'' (Latin: "Wisdom is a gift given to the wise") *F.L.
