Choosing a Magickal Name
Many of my books on Wicca discuss choosing a magickal name. It can be based on an animal totem or after a goddess that is admired. I have yet to chose a name because I guess the time is not yet right for me. I have not decided where I belong in the great scheme of things. I have thought about using my given name, as I have gone by a nick name so much of my life. It is only in the last 10 years that I have really used my given name. It is a very appropriate name for me if you look at the meaning of the name. I have changed so much in these past 10 years and somehow these changes are reflected by the use of the given name
However, I think I still want a magickal name that somehow reflects my journey down this path. At some point I am sure it will come to me, during my studies, in the middle of the night, in a dream or in some other way that the Goddess sees fit. I’ve decided not to force the issue, because then the name won’t be right for me. It will be fun to see what it turns out to be.
Do you have a magickal name? How did you come about finding yours? Please share your story.

My magickal name is Erane Wood Rose. Erane was just something that I found that appealed to me, and I live in the Woods and I was given the name Rose in my given name, and it is very important to me. There is no grand story, it is jsut what it means to me.
