Well this would depend on how you feel about it. Most paths belive in keeping it sercet except for the people that you practise with. I do belive in being very carful with who you give your craft name to as most trads belive that it can be used as a weapon against you. What ever you decide I would advise caution.

I totally agree with what SLD said! I personally have never shared mine with another person and never will but I am overly cautious about things like that.

oh ok! Well... I don't know really. I don't really ... feel attached to the name. lol. I don't really even know how to pronounce it wierd. It's Ceowynth ..... infact i think it's an actresses name already... come to think of it... omg! I'm so bad hehe

Well having a secret name is a way to feel a more personal realationship with The Goddess and also a way for her to know you as well, the name given you was a special thing and not everyone has that experiance, it was a special gift and somehow I don't think you realize this, you seem young and we all learn from our experiances, if you feel you just made a mistake by telling us your special name, ask The Goddess for understanding, guidance and aid on learning to follow your intuition. All becomes clear all you have to do is ask :)

Well yes I am young, 17 and trying to learn more all the time. I do understand that a spiritual name is a special thing.. though I didn't really feel attached to that one. And I don't feel bad telling others about it either.

 

Though I will do a mediations today, or try, and see what comes to me about that name... It's kind awierd really. LIke I want to push it away and step back from it. Yet become closer to nature and things and learn more with energy working and increase my mind skills. I've been told and feel that I could't become a telekenisis and phycic....

 

Well I'll take your advice and try mediating.

 

Thanks and take care

Well i did the meditation... and others... though I didn't really get anything... though something else really... lol. it was wierd as i don't know whether I was making it up or not as I didn't really feel like i was in 'dream state' like most are when meditating... but half awake and concious... anyway...

 

I imagined that i was beside a stream with my feet in the water carrying away my problems... then I looked up and a wolf came up and sat beside me.... I was just talking to it and asked it about the name. It said that my proper name cannot be said with the human tounge... though I just got a feeling whne trying to say it... kinda giggly inside. lol. Hard to explain... Does that make sense? or even mean anything as I just think it was my conscious imagination and not subconcious?

Images come to me sometimes at the start of a meditation, I guess you don't have to be deep into it for this to happen, but how interesting that a wolf came to you :) Have you ever seen Wolf before?? This could be a totem or spirit helper, read up on the wolf maybe this can give some insight for the reasons that this symbol came to you, from what I read Wolf is a teacher, and a guard. I think you should look into this a little further ! How funny is that :) we are going to do a book study on amimal totems soon! You can find the threads on the general board if your interested, you'll have to go back a little to find them, let us know if your interested, the book we're doing is Animal Speak

Hi,

 

I have seen the posts though it sounded to me as though i needed to purchase a book or something. I live in australia so of course that's near impossible for me, though i am indeed interested.

 

The wolf ... well i haven't really seen it before. I asked my brother as he's got basic seeing powers i think, and he said the wolf isn't like me. Though most times i do feel close to the wolf as i am a family orintated person, and i do luv the wilderness.

 

Though the guard bit... it matches what Raveness said to me ina reading. She said someone was trying to hold me back, though someone else was also fighting for me on a legal matter (despite me not being in any legal problem whatsoever all throughout my life).

 

So ... maybe it was a guard. I did feel like it was there... to just keep me company. And lately... this may sound stupid... but i'm constantly on alert. like i feel as though someones gonna come for me or try to get to me. I am trying to feel energy more, and some days i swear i see it. Just yellow shapes moving infront of my eyes.

 

though yes... i think it's a bit stupid.... and kinda bothering.... i would like a mentor to see in person... though I do not know anyone... apart from my ex. Though he's another story altogether....

 

hmm. I'm going to try and meditate more. Though sometimes it makes me tired and I feel lazy just lying there not moving. lol. very conflicting thoughts and feelings most the time.

 

Anyway, i hope that's not to long.

 

Thanks and blessed be

You don't have to buy the book :) Is there a library near you they may have it, at one time I really wanted a mentor too and if your ment to find one you will, you may have to learn on your own but then again you have a whole group here that will help with anything that may be bothering you and you never know you make a friend or two that you can really share your experiances with.

Try to tune into your intuition, it's trying to say something, that could be why your feeling on edge.

Try and pick times of they day, like when you first wake up or when you feel calmer to meditate lol and before you have coffee :) And you can try sitting up in a straight back chair, I know laying is more comfy :)  it always puts me right to sleep also I learned a new thing! before you go to your place in meditation drop your problems and anything thats bothering you in a well or pond, and see a white light sink down into you and all around you wrap it around you, to protect you in the astal.

Good luck and Blessings

I will try looking for the book at a library... what was the nameof it again?

 

Also the well sounds good! I think i could do that. lol. I have been taught shielding in consious state. apparently i'm good at it though i have no idea! lol. My subconscious seems to have a mind of it's own. I can't really control it too well as i don't know what it's doing.

 

Though I shall try to meditate more. Do you normally listen to music while u meditate? or is that not a wise thing? I have found a great celtic collection CD. From Clennad. I luv it!

 

Well i'll meditate now. I've just had coffee lol, but I'll still try.

 

Thanks and take care

Greetings Mystical Charly!

    The name of the book is Animal Speak and it is written by Ted Andrews. If you can not find it but really want to own it you can always contact Ladybeast and she can order it for you. I am not sure what the shipping costs would be since you like out of the USA but she would be able to tell you.

 

  Sky's description of the wolf was exactly what I was going to say about it. Teacher and guardian. I would suggest you continue your medications and when you feel like it call the Wolf. Mentaly ask that the wolf come to see you. You can then start to build a relationship with it and it may be that it will start bringing you information and guidance.

 

  I have used the well many times in my meditations. It is a great way to dump your "STUFF". Dipping your feet into the stream and allowing the water to wash away your excess thoughts and worries is an excellent method too so if it works for you then stick with it!

 

  The way that I recieved my spiritual name was very easy and fast. You can try it if it sounds interesting to you. What I did was this. From the time I woke up I started asking the spirits to bringme my spiritual name. I asked that I recieve it in a dream and that I be helped to remember it upon awakening. Then I visualized strands of glowing blue light (almost like ropes or string) coming from my heart to the heavens. I did this on and off all day. Seeing the blues lines is a very important part of this exercise!!! Then when I went to bed that night I kept telling myself, over and over, that I would remember my dreams that night. Shortly before my alarm went off the next morning I woke up out of a dead sleep because I heard a voice say my spirit name. You might want to try that. You can also ask you spirit guides (even if you do not know who they are or what they look like) that they help you rid yourself of any mental blocks or fears that are keeping you from knowing your spirit name.

 

Listening to music while you meditate is ok, as far as I know. I have done it many times. I would suggest that it is music without words though. I like and use Cletic music and Native American druming CD's to help me relax and get into the proper state of consciousness. CD's can be a very helpful tool in meditation. Try it and if it works well for you then keep using them.

 

Hope some of this helps you out. Please keep posting about your experiences because I enjoy reading your posts. ALSO, I do and know a little about energy work, spirit guides and other odds and ends. If you would like to email me and get to know one another please feel free to do so. My email addy is [email protected]

 

Light and Love,

thanks for the name of the book. i'll have a look too see if it's in a library or something near me though as I'm a uni student and on a tight budget at the moment.

 

I just wrote you an email, so I won't write much here. :)

 

Thanks for your email,

 

take care
