TeaDidikai Phoenixfire Lune Soleil True enough, although if the nature of the dieties names are anything like the ones I have heard tell of (if indeed like any other Mysteries themselves), then it's possible such names are not necessarely speakable, even in ritual. Not out of any rule, but simply out of inability due to their nature. It's hard to describe really.. I understand where you're coming from, and I think (correct me if I'm wrong) you may be confusing the names with the idea that place holders are used for people who have not been initiated. Not as such, I don't think. I mean that such a name may be incommunicable through human speech, and that there are other means (possibly phychic or symbolic) to use the "name" to invoke. Does that make sense? There is a similar thing in my tradition regarding the "true name" of Fate, both as a deity and a concept. Not even those of the same tradition can tell you the name, it is something you can only discover for yourself. This is what leads me to think in this way about the Wiccan Mysteries, if they are anything alike.
This is why I often speak more about the nature of the Mysteries rather than the content of the Mysteries themselves. I think this is one area that's been neglected, since most I've spoken to or read about are under the impression that much of the Mysteries are pieces of information or wisdom that are taught from person to person. In my experience, this is not the case. I'm unsure as to the stance of those here on the matter though.
