Hi Don Merry we meet :)
You sound as confused as I was not so long ago. I consulted numerology and looked up references online etc and then finally I decided that if I was supposed to have a craft name it would come to me. In the end I found my craft name during meditation and after I had heard this name I discovered it was very appropriate after all :)
I wish you good luck in whichever way you discover your craft name :)

Blessings

Meditate, meditate, meditate.

Ask the gods for help. Ask anyone for help.

If all else fails look into names from whatever culture your magics come from.

Be patient. Some people go years without finding their magical name. Some people end up with several.

Relax. It all works out.

hi there,
I too made this more complicated than it had to be. I actually have had 3 names for different phases of where I was in my life!!
I also consulted numerology, my first two names were very christian/biblical, like so many christianity is my roots before wicca.
one last thing pray.. yes pray, the Gods can help. Remember that not only does the magick name tie into the secrecy part of the craft, it's your name between you and the Gods.
one last thing to consider,
why do you want or need a magickal name?
are your part of a coven?
are you solitary?
do you want it for the internet?
just wanting a neat sounding name is not a good reason!!
so in short 1.consider your motives!
2. pray to the God and Goddess
3. search many names till one feels right
LOTS OF LOVE AND GOOD HUNTING

you do not need a magical name to practice magic or witchcraft. i wish people would stop thinking this has to be so. the gods love you no matter what you call yourself. however if you feel you need one you can choose things that best express your personality and focus. choose from a wide range of interests that you are looking into. good luck.

You're over-thinking this. I did too. I thought I had to have a magickal name quick and it HAD to be the right one! I tried to think one that I liked but none seemed to fit. Finally, fed up, the Goddess told me I was making WAY too much of this. I wanted Moon to be part of the name 'cause I love her so much. The Goddess asked me what I enjoyed doing. I went down the list and when I got to music, She suggested MoonSong. I've always loved to sing so it was perfect for me. There are many ways of finding your magickal name and you may have many over your life time. Don't limit yourself. Happy Hunting.
Blessings,
