Greetings, @judith5! That’s a great question, and how exciting to be on the search for your magickal name! ✨ There is a lot of helpful information in the following thread that might be what you are hoping for: > [@Magickal Names - How do you choose?](https://forum.spells8.com/t/magickal-names-how-do-you-choose/501): > > The idea of choosing a magickal name - or craft name - has a history shrouded in mystery. There is no historical reason for people to choose a magickal name, but some have speculated that it was due to Christianity and persecution. This makes sense because, when captured and tortured for practicing witchcraft, you would be made to give up the names of your fellow witches. But what if you all only knew each other by your craft names, and those were names kept from everyone else? It would make it … Wishing you the best of luck in your search! Blessed be 🙏 --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.spells8.com/t/magickal-name-information/9085)._
