Pagan Blog Prompts: Prompt: What's in a Name?

The premise

Pagan Blog Prompts is a place to find inspiration for writing in your own blog concerning Pagan themes. Each Thursday, a new thought-provoking prompt is posted. Take the idea and run with it - let all your thoughts flow through your fingers and into your blog. Then come back here and comment on the original prompt post with a link to your blog, so we can all see what it is that makes you tick. Subscribe via Email, Follow us, of Like us on Facebook (links on the right), to keep up with new postings!

As I was working my way through previous posts and comments (deleting dead links, commenting on posts that were still up), ideas for new prompts came up. This is one of them - enjoy!

What's in a Name?

Do you have a witch/magic name(s)?
If more than one, is one reserved for ritual use, with another that you go by to everyone else?

If you do use a witch/magic name, how did you come by yours? Was it 'given' to you? Were you lead to it? Or did you pick it yourself?
If you don't use a witch/magic name, why not?

Don't forget - we're on Facebook. Watch for news/updates there, when I don't get around to making a full blog post about it here.

Speaking of news, for those that did not see my message on FB yet, I have created a separate page on the blog to list the links of anyone that wishes to share their blog. It can be found on the right side of the blog, between HOME and AWARDS, or by clicking this link. If you'd like to be included, send me an email (pyrosunfire@gmail.com) with the subject line "PBP link on blog". Include the name of your blog, a description and/or button (if you want) and the direct URL please. All I ask in return is that you link back to us, either with the button or a text link.

Connie Mitan said...: Sorry, Susan, I have not gotten around to trying out the Linky yet. Business picked up right after the new year, and I've been working on creating custom orders. If/When I do try it out, everyone will be able to give it a shot and let me know what they think.
