A very rare essay by Yeats. The Order Rubidae Rosae & Aureae Crucis was apparently a section of the Order of the Golden Dawn, the mystical society to which Yeats belonged.

Each member adopted a motto, usually in Latin, and was known in the Order by the initials of the motto; Yeats adopted name was ‘D.E.D.I’ (Daemon Est Deus Inversus).
