Magickal Names

 

Many people have written to my asking, "How do I pick a magical name?" So instead of writing 50-60 or so letters explaining this, I decided to just make a web page about it.

I think that you could chose whatever name appeals to you for a magickal name. It could be the name you were born with, if that's what you would prefer.

However, many people believe today that magickal names are most powerful when they correlate with the stars. This system works as follows:

 

First, you must find your birth number. To do this, simply add up the digits of your birthday.

For example: August 13, 1980=08/13/1980 You would add up the digits like this: 8+1+3+1+9+8+0=31 3+1=4.

In this case, your birth number would be 4. Get it?

 

Okay, now the next step is to find a name that is equal to your birth number. Each letter of the alphabet has a correlating number in magick.

You find the numbers that match the name you want in the same matter that you added up your birth number. The alphabet and correlating numbers are below.
