choosing a spiritual name

[Mike182]

i am thinking over a new name to identify with my spiritual persona, and i would appreciate input from everyone here

i would really like it if you felt you could post an explanation of any names you suggest, as i am looking for a name that i can identify with

thanks in advance

C_P

ps, when i do decide upon a name, the C_P is going - it just seems so tactless now

Hmm, that's difficult one, given your new calling. I never liked Corrupt Priest, sounds like Corrupt.

Wiccan priest comes to mind though, or High Priest of Wicca ?

CP throw everyone a bone. Tell us a little of what you believe in Wicca and if you are thinking of an animal name what you identify with so we can have a frame of reference.

 

[ayani]

or what about "green man"?

ties into wiccan appreciation of the natural world and christianity's emphasis on humanity.

If you truly want to get away from C_P as your name here then might I suggest picking a name that has nothing to do with your spirituality for now. You just made this revelation to yourself and determined your path. Take some time to find yourself and what rings the most true for you in your new found faith. Your name will eventually come to you when the time is right.

Something that ties together your two paths would be good.

What aspects of both religions especially appeal to you? Is there an animal that you feel a deep kinship with?

always loved dogs

robtex, you seem more excited about me than i do :biglaugh:

i have found a great appreciation for nature, i have a great love of knowledge, philosophy and theology etc

my favourite element is air, i don't know why exactly, but i just feel a calling to it


draka, i really do want to get away from the C_P as it just seems hollow and shallow :banghead3 and i don't want to rush into deciding this because of this pressure, so i guess i could just go with my actual (yet shortend) name for now ... ...


... ... mike

You seemed to have answered the second with the first here. Air is the element of the mind and mental workings.

In Buddhism one's initial spiritual name is chosen by one's teacher. Later on, one might choose a new name, if venturing onto a new path. The names are generally chose to be both a recognition of the person, their accomplishments, and as a goal towards which they may strive.

i have heard various oppinions on the idea that a magickal name should add up to a single digit that is equal to the single digit of your birth

what do people think to this?

mike

Ah, in that case, if you want to involve numerology,it isn't that straight forward. You need to add all the digits of each letter, to get a compound number...........

The best thing you can do (to make it easy) is to look on freenamenumerology.com
