That's Not My Name: Lughnasadh Tarot Hop
Our topic is set by Jay Cassells. He asks, "Within the realms of Numerology, when a name is changed it alters the vibration, so a name that resonated at the vibration of 2, suddenly resonates at 9 because letters are either added or indeed dropped. It got me wondering about Tarot, in the sense of Card Names, does a change of name alter the vibration of a card and its meaning, what could that mean for a client, who comes in and asks will changing my name make a difference? etc... ""
I really love the question about changing names. There is a school of thought that says you should think of the power of names before choosing one. This is why many cultures have nicknames for young children. They are being allowed to fully grow into who they should be.
So let's do a spread on name changes, shall we?
The Consequences Of A Name Change
1. What is the power of my name now?
2. What is the potential good of changing my name?
3. What is the potential challenge of changing my name?
4. What is the potential outcome of changing my name?
This is a simple four question spread. All names have power. We know that. As pagans, many of us choose other names. We might want to keep ourselves secret from the public. After all, how many Arwen Nightstars are there? That was my first Inner Circle name. In my coven, you chose a name at your dedication. Mine just so happens to have been Lammas 1983. At that time, I was proud to announce my new name. I had done a lot of work on it. For my tradition, your inner name had to match your birth name numerologically. I am a 6 name by birth.
Then Arwen evolved into my "real" name as I added it to my given name. I am still a name 6 by standard numerology because that wasn't my name at birth.
What other questions would you ask in a spread about changing your name? I'd love to hear your comments. You must create a free account as we get a lot of stupid spammers here.

It's interesting because when I started out, I actually used my proper given name, and not a lot worked out for me. My hubby gifted me my nickname (Jay) and unless your my mother or mother in law, it is more my real name than my actual one. The kicker is that my name now is a 9, and these days it is actually really bringing the 9 power in.
