So everyone seems to have a little different outlook on this topic. I was just wondering what everyone thought. Personally I have a different name for my pagan community. I go by Riyon. A name that came to me in my studies of wicca and I just wrote it down, not really sure what it was. Then it just sort of hit me. It was to be my name. So tell me what you think of different names, and if you use a different name, what is it and why?

So tell me what you think of different names, and if you use a different name, what is it and why? I say one should follow their spirit river. These things are ancient memories passed down through the bodies of the ancestors, and are defined at the very levels at which spirit becomes separated. What comes natural should always be trusted. Follow the instincts and inner voices of those who have come before. I personally don't believe enough authors (wiccan or otherwise) put enough emphasis on such things.

My ritual name is secret. I believe that words have power, therefore my name could be used against me. I also believe that a name can be changed.>^..^<

I go by the name Marcus simply because it is my name. Allthough recently i have come across the name "Scathanna" which means shadows in Irish and i like that.

I also believe that a name can be changed.>^..^< *smiles and chuckles*I could not agree more, for words, and names, do have a great amount of power. This, however, is why I am happy to give my true name to others, not why I withhold it from them. To me, sharing my spiritual name with all of you on this board is my personal way of showing my trust in all of you, of putting a little bit of myself into your hands. And while I am sure that some must think me foolish for that, I simply say this: If I could not trust these people enough to share my name with them, then why would I ever trust them enough to share my hopes and dreams, my ideals and faith with them? And so, my name is Bran Sinnach, which in Gaelic means Raven Fox, for they are my totems. And while in more mundane places(i.e. paperwork) I go by my given name, people typically know me by my true name.
