Choosing The Right Witch Name Or Warlock Name
By Francesca Ashcroft
A Witch name or Warlock name is hugely important to the individual choosing a path in witchcraft for a variety of reasons. First, the name honors and represents the style and faith by which someone has chosen to live his or her life. Second, they are emblematic of the positive and special traits they might already possess. And also, a witch/warlock name creates the chance to shape and define one's sense of identity - they help to make you the person you've always strived to be.
So, if you have come to the point of your spiritual journey where it is necessary for you to choose a witch name , you may be feeling some confusion! So let's take a look at some of the ways you can get inspiration and find the right witch/warlock name for you.
Where Do You Start Looking For Your Perfect Witch Name or Warlock Name?
Looking at what others have chosen can be a bit tricky, as it is common practice in many covens to keep names secret amongst only themselves. For some, their witch name remains known to only themselves and the Gods and Goddesses. However, this shouldn't hold you back too much.
Your name should be deeply personal and a reflection of your personality, qualities and strengths, so this would be a good place for you to start.
On that note and as a brief aside, many people make the mistake of running away from themselves; of trying to become someone different when choosing a witch/warlock name. Think hard on whether you are doing this.
While it is ok to incorporate what you aspire to be in your name, there is a difference between lying to yourself about who you are and embracing your aims and goals in life. Remember, this name will potentially be with you forever, so keep it true!
Having got some ideas on your personality, you can then look to nature for some further suggestions. Wicca and witchcraft invoke the gifts and powers of the universe every day... It makes sense that you would also use this rich source for your witch or warlock name.
For example, Oak could represent a sturdy character, if you are looking for a masculine name. Mist can show a stillness of character or even adaptability. Nature, of course, includes animals - have you always felt identified with a hawk or panther? Then add it to your list of possibilities!
You may be surprised to find that baby naming books or sites can also be very useful. The reason for this is that you will find the historical meanings of names, so look to your personality traits once more and compare them to some traditional names.
While it is hard to say what the most popular witch name or warlock names might be, due to them often being secret, there are a few trends you may wish to consider. Names such as Amber, Raven, Merlin and Phoenix have become favored by many in recent years.
Is there anything you should avoid when looking for the perfect name? It can be frowned upon to take on the name of a God or Goddess, as this can appear as if you consider yourself to be as mighty and powerful. While incorporating a version of their name into yours, as a kind of homage is fine, directly copying will probably only lead to confusion later on as you are likely to use your favorite God or Goddess in your spell work.
How Do You know When You Have Found the Right Witch/Warlock Name?
Ultimately, you will find with a list of suggestions or a mind full of ideas and you will have to come to a decision. So how do you know which is the right one? It could simply be a case of choosing the one that you are drawn to - the name that makes you feel complete or totally at home. If you are struggling to choose between a few however try smudging, writing it in runes or using a crystal ball to see what speaks to you. Trust the higher powers for your final choice, they will lead you to the right one, so don't rush.
