Creating a Craft Name   

Most Wiccans choose a Craft name (also known as a

magickal name). Because Wicca is a new way

of life, it is traditional to find a new name that you feel

suits you. At birth, we are given names without any

personality to base it on. When you chose a Craft name, it will be

something very much a part of you, perfectly fitting

and comfortable.

 A name is a symbol of yourself.

You should choose a name that fits you just right.

It should say something about your personality. And of

course choosing a new name represents the rebirth of a "new" 

you as you enter the world of Magick, paganism, and the God 

and Goddess.

Here are some guidelines:

Let your name come to you: 

If you try to force yourself to come up with a name,

you'll only end up with something that sounds nice,

but will always seem alittle less than fitting. The name that

suits you will come along and be just right.

Try thinking of it from this perspective:

What would you be, if you weren't a human? An animal?

An inanimate onject, like a flower or a tree? OR would

you be a great body of water, or a torrent of wind and rain,

or a mirage in a hot desert? Think of yourself that way,

and it may help the name form in your mind.

Think of how others see you:

Imagine being on the outside, talking to yourself...

A little like reflecting your personality so it's more 

tangible. Then maybe that name will come to you!

Consider your personality:

What name would represent your characteristics best?

Names like "Charisma" or "Star" might suggest an outgoing 

personality, while a name like "Dove" or "Innocence"

would represent a shy, gentle person. Go on from there.
