The first and probably easiest method for choosing a name is by simply looking one up. A person can choose a name based on qualities they possess and want to be rid of, like the woman with the prickly personality who calls herself "Porcupine." Then, we'll all know to stay clear of her when she's starting to take aim with her quills. We can also choose names than can imbue the practitioner with certain qualities and personality traits that can help us avoid illness, bring luck, or remind us of where we're going or of where we've been. There are many god and goddess names to choose from, if one wants to be more connected to a particular deity.

Wait why is Llewellyn Publishing controversial? I try to keep updated on most community discussions but I must have missed this.

That's because it's an old conversation, mostly. Llewellyn hasn't had any one damning incident, rather people are critical of them because they are the largest/most prominent publisher of alternative spirituality books.

For one, they publish on variety of topics including things that are considered "fluffy bunny" or new age stuff. There is a lot that's culturally approprative stuff on things like chakras and kabbalah. The have published a lot of controversial authors like Silver Ravenwolf. Most of their books focus on witchcraft and wicca in particular. And a lot of their books that are on culturally specific practices like brujeria are written by people who aren't part of of that culture.

There was some controversy around their failure to produce a statement in the aftermath of the murder of George Floyd and the BLM movement, followed by what many thought was a hollow response when called out on it. This essay covers a lot of the problems with them.

Early last month a blog post went around from Jason Mankey titled " That's Not Our Paganism ". Its theme centered on stating unequivocally

However I will say this doesn't mean you should blanket boycott them. Authors can't choose their publisher and pagan authors have an even smaller pool to work with. When it comes on books from them, just use a certain amount of discretion and go by individual author rather than relying on the Llwellyn brand as a sign of quality.
