so theres many rituals that I've come across where you must utter your magical name/motto/handle to the entities that you invoke as part of it

trouble is, I never decided on one

what goes into picking a magical name? what do you need to consider when coming up with a motto or handle for yourself? and does it really need to be in latin or greek?

help pls

I have to reaffirm what Pilgrim Child said, traditionally the motto should reflect your highest aspirations. This will of course change as you learn and grow. Then also traditionally the name is put into another language such as hebrew, latin, or greek, just to add that subtle hint of mystery. It can be in english if you choose or even pig latin it doesn't matter as long as you take it seriously.

Then some people choose a name that is not intials of a motto but rather a word or name that has a special meaning to you for whatever reason. It is your magick, it is your name, as long as it has meaning to you it will be fine.

Later as you progress as a magician you may come to know the name of your higher self or HGA and later even the name of your divine self. These names will be substituted into your ritual work as well in the N spot but of course you will retain your magical name when dealing with others.

Good luck!
