a witches name, i welcome thee (incarnation, bless, Article, witchcraft)

[Prima]

I haven't yet begun to dig into my past lives or my true name. Doing so for me would be very touchy right now - especially seeing as how I'm a beginner!

[morgan]

Merry Meet Robin3..you know me as simply 'Morgan' but the full of my name is Morgana Redskye Black...Morgana was given to me by some friends many years ago when i first came to Wicca, RedSkye was added when I first had my daughter when I was 25 and went to meditate on a beach while my mom babysat her. Black was added within the last couple of years and sorta just found its way to me..not sure why...they all have a meaning in my life. As for the 3rd degree thing, i tend to agree that its a personal thing, a choice.

[Runt]

During the time that I was a practicing pagan, I used two different chosen names. When I was a young solitary Wiccan, I called myself Stardancer. When I was in my mid-teens and was part of a family coven, I chose the name Star Abiding One.

Neither of these names reflected an interest in astrology... I've always considered it to be an imperfect science. Instead, the names reflected both an awe for the simple beauty of the heavens, as well as the conviction that my life (and the lives of others) are shaped and guided by nature rhythms... and the stars seemed, to me, to be a macrocosmic reflection of that natural motion.

Even today, when I am no longer Wiccan (I'm more of an atheistic Taoist now) the latter name still seems appropriate to me. I no longer think there is anything mystical or magickal about the Tao/Universe, but I still find the heavens to be an apt representation of it.

i am a new wiccan and if you have any advice for starting a coven please email me at pyro@javathing.com

[Feathers in Hair]

Fabbers, there's a really wonderful book on starting a coven, dynamics needed to make it work, and things like that. I'm not certain about the name- I'll have to go look- but I think it's called "Coven Craft."

[Sagira]

Ehh, I'm not a quote-on-quote 'witch', so I don't have a magical name. I do, however, have a tribal name, as I'm part Native American and was brought up that way for quite some time.

I don't give out that name freely, though. (=

As for the name itself, I did not pick it; it picked me.

[Ishkbal]

My first Wiccan name was Woodelf, whom I had named after a friend who was a woodelf (I know, I know, I'm crazy) However, that name didn't go well with me so I decided that the best name is my real name, Keenan. This, interestingly enough, means two things in Gaelic: 1) Keenyn: ancient one and 2) Kynan: chief. This is interesting because I am mature for my age (so I am told) and I am also a leader. As for my title name, Ishkbal, this is a made up name and I don't use it for anything.

Cheers,

Ishkbal

thats cool.... i guess its what works for what and why a person choses a name for there craft name

[Crystal Red]

Although I'm not actually a Wiccan at the moment, I found my name during the time I was interested in joining Wicca, it's Crystal Red if you haven't guessed. It was a name I discovered in a dream, although I will not divulge the contents of this dream, the name Crystal Red has always seemed important to me somehow, so I kept it, it is now my Discordian holy name, though, if I ever was to come back to Wicca I would use it as my witches name, unless another found me.
