Choosing a Magickal Name


"Why do I have to choose a name? I already HAVE a name!" you may find yourself thinking. The reason why a witch choosing a second name is so that her/his name may be in perfect alliance with his/her birth number.

"So, how do I find my birth number?" You have to add together the numbers in your birth date. For example, my birthday, June 12, 1982, would be 0+6(june)+1+2(date) +1+9+8+2(year). If you add that up, you get the number 29. Since you must have a singular digit, add 9+2=11, 1+1=2, meaning my birth number is 2.

Since the chance of your name number being the same as your birth number is slim, when you enter the CRAFT you choose a name. I have also heard that some witch's have three names, a given name, a chosen name, and a name known to only you and the Goddess, and maybe your Coven.

Too find if the name you've chosen coincides with your birth number, follow the chart below. Add up all the letters in the name. For example, M-E-L-E-N-T-H-A-W-H-I-T-E-M-O-O-N = ?.

	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9
	A	B	C	D	E	F	G	H	I
	J	K	L	M	N	O	P	Q	R
	S	T	U	V	W	X	Y	Z
