Hello I'm new

[Jasmine Star]

I feel kind of silly but I don't know how to choose my witch name. Do I pick it myself or through meditation etc. I have just read a link that suggests to me you chose your own name through a personal connection you feel. Is this right?
ps Im really new to this and I'm a bit lost in information. I would appreciate a few Wicca friends as I'm a solitary.

Hi There. Merry Meet and Blessed Be. There are some really great people here that will be able to help. Me personal I have allways found reading a book helped. Learn everything you can both here and by reading. :)

Well, if you want a new name... I mean, if you are perfectly comfortable with the one you have now, why change?

Oooh, here's something you could try: pick a random book from the mythology section and open it up to a random page and see who's name is there.

Meditation is a good idea too.

I say, don't think about it too much, it'll just come to you one day when you least expect it. Or at least, that's what happened to me!

Good luck!

HI welcome im always in the lookout for new wiccan friends.
Ill be more than happy.

[Jasmine Star]

I was feeling very lonely. I am reading a lot and trying to cope with these wonderful new feelings now that I have found Wicca. Are most of you solitary or in covens? I would like info on both but I think that I may remain a solitary.

Welcome Jasmine Star!
I am quite new to the board as well, and I have learned so much!
I am right now solitary, but I don't think I could do it alone without everyone here on MW!

and if it helps, I am still meditating, and listening for my witch name, but I know when I hear it, it will be perfect!

[Jasmine Star]

Thank you. I chose the name because it seemed right at the time but I am still listening for any signs that may suggest otherwise.
Has anyone read To ride a silver broomstick? Is it useful? Or has anyone read anything by Scott Cunningham?

check out the books section. there is a great list of books there.
I have 3 of Scott Cunningham's books, all of which I am reading, but mostly scanning through, and they are very useful!
I also have a book called The Craft: A Witch's Book of Shadows -
Dorothy Morrison . It is very good, very detailed, and although I will not use everything by this particular book, it is a good starter, along with Cunninghams books.

Oh, and my name came to me yesterday! I am very excited about it! and the Goddess confirmed it twice! Don't worry, it'll happen!

:boing: :boing: :wave: :wave: :wave: :wave: Welcome to Mystic Wicks!! Since everyone gave such great advice, I wont ever try to offer you a suggestion. All I will say.. is follow your heart and ask the Gods and the Goddesses.. and they will show you your name

[Flaire-FireStar]

First of all...:wave: Welcome to MW!!

I "stumbled" on mine by going to a site which told you your "witch name"... It was kinda funny, actually - I went through about 20 before I came upon part of mine.... A name which I actually liked, so I used that part, using another part from a name which I really love, I came up with the second part. :)

Like what mostly everyone says, do what feels right.. If you really love a certain type of stone, constellation, herb, etc, use it! (If it's the name of a goddess or god, ask permission first though.. ;))

Hi...I'll be your friend. I'm a solitary to, so yeah, I need people to talk to as well...if you need me, just call on me, and I'll send it along, with love, from me, to you...
