✨🔮How To Find Your Craft Name🔮✨

I have recently found my craft name and I’m absolutely in love with it!! I went through many methods of trying to find mine, in this post I will show multiple ways you can go about finding your craft name, and not in only the way I found it. I hope this helps you all out!! Bless

Corresponding Names:

One way to go find you craft name is to find names that corresponds to things normally found in witchcraft/wiccan/pagan. For example:

Herbs: Rosemary, Sage, Willow, Bay, Valerian, etc.

Animals: Wolf, Owl, Bear, Raven, Snake, Tiger, etc.

Elements: Rain (water), Tornado (air), Amber (fire), Clay (earth), etc.

Celestial: Venus, Moon, Star, etc.

Crystals: Ruby, Emerald, Jasper, Crystal, etc.

Creatures: Dragon, Phoenix, Mermaid, etc.

Gods/Goddess: Thor, Aphrodite, Artemis, etc.

OR you can combined!!: RubyMoon, SageTornado, SnakeMoon, etc.

Birth Number:

Another way to find your craft name is finding one that corresponds with your birth number!! This mean that the number of the craft name matches your birth number. This is how you find your birth number!

Say your birthday is May 27, 1998. So, your numbers are 5271998. Now add them all together! 5+2+7+1+9+9+8=41. Now take those two numbers, in this case 4 and 1 and add them together. 4+1=5. Your birth number, in this case, is 5!

Now, you will use the key below to find the sum of the name you have found.

1 = A, J, S

2 = B, K, T

3 = C, L, U

4 = D, M, V

5 = E, N, W

6 = F, O, X

7 = G, P, Y

8 = H, Q, Z

9 = I, R

Let’s use my name for example, Tempest! So you would take the number that corresponds with each letter and add it together. For Tempest it would be 2547512. Now you will do the same thing you did with your birth date, add those numbers together. 2+5+4+7+5+1+2= 27. Then add this two numbers (2 and 7) which for me would be 9.

If the name you found doesn’t match your birth number then try other names you like! Or try a different method.

Magick Methods:

You can use divination to find your name! Ask your tarot, ask your pendulum, use your runes, use scrying, use automatic writing, and any way you are most comfortable with!! These are good and somewhat simple ways to find your name!

You can meditate/envision your craft name!! Bring yourself into a meditative state and just clear your mind and your craft name can very much come to you in your head. As well as your dreams!! If there is a name that you remember or sticks to you in your dreams it probably means something and you should take it into consideration!!

Pay attention! Maybe you are seeing a name consistently throughout your days, and you may not notice it but if you pay attention you could find a name that is surrounding you. Be aware. Pay attention. You got this!!

Research+Feeling!!!

This is how I found mine out!!! I tried all of the methods above but this one is what felt most comfortable for me. So what I did is I found something that I love in witchcraft, something I am connected to or use a lot. I love the weather, so I looked up names that corresponded with the weather and names of different weather conditions. For example; rain and windy and stormy and lighting, etc. I researched and researched until I got the feeling! I felt so drawn to my craft name when I read it. I felt my heart tingle and I fell in love with the name. Thats how I knew it was the one for me!

Feeling!

Finally, you can just simply use feeling. Research, do all of the methods above, do ANYTHING until you found a name that just fits you or makes you feel more like yourself. It may take days or it may take minutes.

DON’T DOUBT YOURSELF

If it feels right, ITS RIGHT!! Don’t try and second guess because you feel as though there is something better. If it comes to you, don’t let it go out the other ear, pay attention, listen to it, consider it!

You will find it I promise you. Don’t stress either. The right name will come at the right time. Good luck to you all and bless✨💕🌻

a witch’s palm.

palmistry placements that may indicate certain natural traits or abilities related to witchcraft.

the mystic cross. “x” shaped cross located between the head and heart lines. indicates that spirituality, witch’s intuition, and acknowledgement of power or ability were understood at a very young age.

the psychic cross. “x” shaped cross located beneath:

the index finger: blessings from jupiter/zeus. wisdom, and a great capacity for knowledge. often destined to teach or impart. 

the middle finger: blessings from saturn/cronus. intuition, and a great capacity for visceral power. often has natural ability working in dreams and meditations.

the ring finger: blessings from sun/apollo. attraction, and a great ability to naturally draw in your needs and desires. often powerful with enchantments. 

the little finger: blessings from mercury/hermes. instinct, and a great natural ability for practice. often adopts new methods with ease and natural talent.

the psychic triangle. triangular shape located beneath the ring finger. indicates that in this life, or another, you have chosen to suppress your abilities. they are likely powerful, but potentially caused harm- intentionally, or not. (this does not mean they are unreachable, it more likely encourages you to work very consciously.)

the healer’s mark. a series of parallel lines located beneath the little finger. indicates powerful healing abilities; the more lines, the greater the gift. 

the traveller’s mark. a series of parallel lines located beneath the mount of the moon. indicates that there is an innate talent and drive in travelling both the physical and the astral planes. a natural ability for astral projection; the more lines, the greater the gift.

Very simple wake up spell

This is an extremely easy spell that works about 19/20 times (for me) even without an alarm clock. It’s also good for absolute beginner witches!

Things you need: -your mind

1. Right before going to sleep, when you already lie in bed, think of the time you want to wake up. 2. Now, in you mind’s eye, visually form the time so that you “look” at it as if you’d be looking at a digital watch. 3. Hold that picture and focus on it while doing the next step. 4. Say (I prefer doing it in my mind because otherwise it just doesn’t work well for me, but if it’s more effective/easier for you to say it out loud, do that!) that you’ll wake up to that time, preferably with confidence. You can do it however you think is good, but here’s how I say it:

“I will wake up refreshed and with ease at 05:30am.”

5. Repeat as many times as you think is necessary. I personally do it until I know it’s enough.

Notes: -Do this right before starting to fall asleep. -HAVE CONFIDENCE IN WHAT YOU’RE DOING. You don’t have any helping materials like herbs or incense or so, so the stronger your will the more likely it is to work.                                                                                                                -Do NOT take the spell waking you up for granted! I’ve done it and I overslept my first period that day.

I’ve been doing this spell for years before I got into witchcraft and it almost never fails to wake me up!

Psychic Powers: Automatic Writing

AUTOMATIC WRITING!

Also known as Psychography.

Automatic Writing allows a person to produce written words without consciously writing. These words are from a subconscious, spiritual, or supernatural source.

Basically, it’s a non-scary way to speak with your “Higher Self”, spirit guides, or spirits. It allows you to see their perspective subconsciously, while using claircognizance.

WHY DO AUTOMATIC WRITING?

Here are some examples of when you could do it…

When you have a fear of spirits and are too scared to contact your guides in any other way

When you are not yet very clairvoyant or clairaudient (you can’t hear or see your spirit guides), so you want to try another way.  Automatic writing is actually very easy if you manage to put your mind to one side, and I know lots of people who have trouble hearing their inner voice who have had success with automatic writing.

When you want to get your Higher Self’s perspective on something that is bothering you – (I used to do automatic writing when I was upset about something and needed to raise my vibration. I’d tune into my higher self and start writing.  She always had some very comforting and insightful things to say about any situation.)

Or just when you have some questions that you want a spiritual perspective on.

HOW TO BEGIN AUTOMATIC WRITING!

Sit down with a blank piece of white paper in front of them, while holding a pen.

I’ve also heard, before, that you can sit at a computer and type - but this is high unlikely to work. It would take a lot of energy for another being to move your hands across a keyboard. Pen/pencil and paper is very recommended.

Begin writing without conscious thought.

The conscious mind recedes into the background, so that wisdom from other realms of consciousness many be channeled through and handwritten, or typed. Often those who do automatic writing have no idea what they have written until they read over their notes.

TIPS FOR SUCCESS

Start each automatic writing session with ‘My Spirit Guides’ or ‘My Higher Self’ or ‘My Angels’ as the first line.

You can call on all of them if you want.  Be clear about whose input you want, as it sets an intention to hear from that being. If you want, you can also see your guides as parts or extensions of you that you can access whenever you want, like your subconscious.   (The more you see these entities as beings outside of you, the more channeling them may seem quite elusive.) If you want, you can also raise your vibration and connect with your guides/higher self before you begin typing.  For example, you can do some deep breathing, or visualize going up to a room to meet with your guides, so that you can get their input for the duration of the session.

Just start writing and don’t worry about what you’re writing at first.

For example, write your question and just see what comes out when you put your fingers on the keys. You don’t have to focus on the question, just start writing about anything that comes into your head. The trick with this is to get used to writing (if you are not already).  The more you’re used to writing, the easier it is to get into that ‘flow’ state when writing.

Setting a timer while you do it can be helpful

This is so that you don’t have time to think about what you’re writing. That works particularly well when you have a set of questions you want to ask your guides.

Create the right conditions so that you can lose your inhibitions about what you’re writing

I (personally) like to make sure I’m completely alone before automatic writing, and then insure that I’m writing in a journal or on a piece of paper that I can put somewhere safe, so that no one else reads it.

Don’t allow your mind to interpret the information while you’re getting it

You can interpret it afterwards.  But know that it is totally normal for the mind to butt in and judge information in the process.

HOW DO YOU KNOW YOU’RE DOING IT CORRECTLY?

Channeled information tends to be high vibrational in nature.   It will often comfort you, provide clarity or will raise your mood in some way. If it feels negative or feels heavy, you’re probably not channeling a source that you want to tap into - or you may just be channeling your own emotional body, if you are not feeling very good. What you channel via writing will usually not sound like your voice or the voice that you ‘think’ in. Another feature of intuitive guidance is that it tends to be very clear, usually feels light and is often simply expressed.   Having said that, I have read automatic writing that is poetic and metaphorical in nature.  But don’t be hung up on how yours should sound or be. If you do it often enough, you will soon get a sense for what your automatic writing ‘feels’ like.

~ Beginner Tips for the New Scryer ~

So I did a little poll to see which divination method was the hardest, and scrying came up pretty often. This post should help you scry, and make it a bit easier! :) If any of my followers have something to add, of course you can feel free to do so!

Before you Begin 

I find that setting aside a place/changing my environment a bit helps get me into the right mindset. It separates one activity from another.

You can close the blinds, light a candle/incense, make fort- whatever you think will help you create a nice atmosphere for it. I like to section off my room, usually the corner behind this little wall, and set up my divination area. I put a table, my supplies, and a candle there. Then I get into the ‘mood’ whenever I need to by lighting the candle and settling down to do a reading.  

If you think playing white noise or a bit of soft lyric-less music will help, you can do that as well. I like binaural beats and ‘fantasy’ style tunes for scrying since they’re soft and enchanting. Usually, meditation music works perfectly.

Just make whatever space your using different in some way, personal to you.

Education/Things to Know

There are many symbols that can be seen in scrying, from animals to plants, to people and food. Sometimes metaphors or direct connections can be descried as well. It takes a bit of practice to determine which of these you might be seeing, but a lot of the time your gut instinct, or intuition, will know. Make note of the feelings you get with certain symbols to try and track any patterns.

Reading up on animal meanings, interpretations of colors/crystals/etc. can help you a lot. Even if it’s just one or two meanings, knowing a tiny bit about some symbolism could take you a long way. Even if you only know one thing about an animal or object, it can lead to more resources and guidance.

If you’re not good at memorization, or don’t have the time for it, searching signs after you see them will help solve whatever you were scrying for. Also take into account personal experiences, connotations, and memories. What you think is important is a huge factor when doing any sort of divination.

Journalling Tips

After I scry, I like to journal everything I see, even if it’s just in bullet points for later reflections. I often forget things as soon as I stop doing them, so keeping a journal has really helped me track my progress and growth as a diviner.

One thing I think a lot of people forget to take into acCount are the other senses you can use when diving; taste, touch, smell, sound. If you notice something coming through to you while scrying, even if it isn’t visual, write it down. It might make sense now, or even later on.

I have a specific section of my journal page for any other senses since I’ve found them to be very helpful in determining the meanings of symbols :) Here’s a little guide for recording your divination sessions.

If You’re Afraid of Seeing Things

I feel like this should be discussed more.

As a beginner, I was TERRIFIED of seeing symbols and shapes move around, or seeing television-like images fly by a black pane of glass. It caused me to hold back, only doing it when I felt 100% safe from monsters and demons and spooky creatures I thought were going to jump out at me.

While I can gladly say that I am no longer afraid of such things and have become a good scryer, I know it can be a very new and intense concept for incoming diviners. Here are my personal tips on the subject:

Get accustomed to being in a trance-like state, or something similar, such as a meditative state. I find scrying to be a mix of the two, so if you learn how to use these techniques, it will not only make scrying an easier transition for you, it will also make it easier to get into the right mindset. If you go into it calm, you’re less likely to be frightened by what you see.

Cloud watch. Pretend the sky is your scrying mirror, and the clouds are the images that are appearing. Associate them with good things, like summer days, warm sunlight, and the smell of grass. This tip really really helped me when I was getting started, and is very good for those of us who like to be outside! 

Know that if you set up protection, even just small wards, you will be safe. Yes, you might see things around and outside of the mirror, sometimes tiny little shapes, sometimes big ones. You might even feel things. But these are all just part of your scrying session, and are indeed normal occurrences :).

But the things you feel really shouldn’t hurt, and the images shouldn’t frighten you to the point of panicking, so if it does, calmly set the mirror down, get out some cleansing tools, and clean everything out. It could just be some anxiety, but if it helps you to do a cleansing ritual/spell, go ahead and do so.

Prepare yourself before you go in. Say something like “I will see images, symbols, and shapes, maybe even scenes. This is good. It is what is supposed to happen.” Just letting yourself know what you already had in mind is always a good idea.

And last but not least, here are two posts on scrying/making a scrying mirror ^_^

Forget witchcraft for a min.

Are you ok?

When was the last time you ate?

When was the last time you drank water?

When was the last time you took a long relaxing bath/shower?

When was the last time you just took a walk? (Its getting colder, you might not be able to soon.)

Take some time out for you and ONLY for you.

The sun will not explode if you just let everyone else deal with there own issues and problems for a little while and take care of yourself. As for your own problems… Well, They will also still be there, but if you at least take some time out, then you might come back with the strength to handle them.
