RE: My Magickal Motivations

in #magick7 years ago

I saw a talk based on that book. Used to belong to an active moot where people organised talks. Mostly locals doing talks based on their own interests, practise and favourite books. I still have print outs from the Women of the Golden Dawn one. I should get the book. Which one had 'leaves no traces behind' or similar as their magical name again?

I just read about that motto last night!
It was Moina Mathers - Vestigia Nulla Retrorsum (Latin: "I never retrace my steps", "I leave no traces behind", "No, tracks (footprints) turn back"
Said to indicate selflessness, spiritual evolution and escaping rebirth.

Good ol Moira. Sad what happened to her, in the end. I have always thought, considering her motto, she died under circumstances that should, in theory, propel her to great heights spiritually. I like to think so at least.

It is sad and I bet you're right.
