Magickal names

Post # 1
Hi

I was wondering about magickal names. I know some people take them and some don't, but what is its true purpose? I would like to use an alias and not my real name with other people who work in magick until i know i can trust them. Is it a good idea to take one? I just want some clarification about what it is and what its used for.

Thanks in advance!

Hi Sorcerer891,
Magikal names were originally used to maintain secrecy. Witchcraft and similar belief systems are not the most common, and used to not be accepted in many cultures. Today, alternate names are used for the same exact reason-to keep our identity secret, but with less drastic consequences (most likely your life will NOT depend on your secrecy, although it is often quite important in certain situations.) If you do choose to take on a different name, it should somehow reflect your personality in some way. Or if you have a special connection to a name, then why not use it in your magick? Hope this clarified it for you a bit!!!
