TeaDidikai redtearsblackwings I have not yet found my Pagan/Craft name. I've been told the best way to find it is to look inside you're self though meditation which is something I've been doing. I don't try to over croud my mind though as I know that will get me no where. The Wica, from my understanding, are named. They don't pick their own names as I recall.
Well I'm not talking about the Wiccan there am I? I'm talking about a Pagan/Craft name, one in which you have to discover it for you're self. Please learn to read before you're going to be a smart a**.

You said before that you're Wiccan, in the intro sticky. My guess? She was referencing that in your initiation, you would have been given a craft name, so it's a moot point.

redtearsblackwings Well I'm not talking about the Wiccan there am I? It read like you were.Quote: I'm talking about a Pagan/Craft name, one in which you have to discover it for you're self. Since paganism isn't a religion, having a pagan name doesn't make a whole lot of sense. Since Craft is capitalized, and the only place I have seen it as a proper noun is amongst the Wica, it sure implied it is of the Wica you were speaking about.
Quote: Please learn to read before you're going to be a smart a**. I am reading. You're merely implying things you don't intend to.
An apology from you would be nice.

I'm following the Wiccan believes and pratices, but I have not yet had the ablity to join a Coven. I have only one like minded friend and her and I are faily sure that 2 isn't big enough to make a Coven. And as is due to our age her and I have alot of trouble catching up. 3nodding

Aino Ailill Deoridhe Aino Ailill Why is choosing a pagan name on the basis of it sounding cool shudder worthy? It's an entirely surface response to something - doing a thing in order to impress others without any attention for deeper implications, or even awareness that picking up a name implies deeper things about a person. What is the issue with a surface response? Is there also an issue with dressing or painting (make-up) one's self in order to look attractive? I would say yes, given the context.
A name is not like cosmetics or clothing, however, though there are similarities. A name is a point of identification. A religious name doubly so. This is the name that, theoretically at least, you stand before your gods garbed in. If the sum total of your name is "I thought it sounded cool," then, well... I'd rather not be near you if any gods show up.
But, then, I'm from a tradition and culture which holds names as very important. I tend to not refer to my gods by name, for example, but by kennings which indicate aspects of them I am invoking. Odin's Blood Brother is referred to as Wolf's Father when I am mentioning his destructive aspects, and Mother of The Terrible's Steed when referring to his more quixotic nature. The second kenning also includes a kenning to my Old Man, of course, who I also often call the Masked One.
I quail a bit at those who consider names a minor thing, akin to adding glitter to one's eyeshadow, to be honest.

redtearsblackwings Though I pratice alone I still believe I'm Wiccan and due to the fact that many places have given me reason to think so I'll not accpet anything otherwise.
Quoted from your post in the Introduction thread. You did state it, just not here.
