Choosing a Magickal Name
Where do all the neat names come from?
I hear this question very frequently. Everyone who wants to be Wiccan is anxious to get themselves a shiny new magickal name. First of all, you don't have to have a special name to be Wiccan. Secondly, don't expect a Goddess-given name to drop out of the sky. Though sometimes a name will jump out at you, more often than not, you will have to choose the name yourself. It can take time, research and a lot of thought. Your magickal name should reflect who you are, or who y ou are trying to become. Please don't choose something just because it sounds all magickal-like. If you belong to a circle or coven, your High Priestess may give you a name when you are initiated, but not all covens operate this way. Your name is a personal choice.
