✨🔮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✨💕🌻
Metamorphosis
from Liber Null, by Peter J. Carroll
Metamorphosis is an exercise in willed restructuring of the mind. All attempts to do this involve a duality between conditions as they are and the preferred conditions. Any state of mind might be arbitrarily chosen, but there is a specific value to 1) Laughter and 2) Non - Attachment, specifically against obsession with certain magickal practices.
One tries to enter into the spirit of the condition whenever possible and to think about the desired results at other times. Laughter is the only tenable attitude in a universe which is a joke played upon itself. Though it may be forced at first, one can learn to smile inwardly at all things. Non-Attachment is best described as the magickal condition of acting without lust of result. It’s very difficult for humans to decide on something and do it for its own sake. Yet, it is precisely this ability required to execute magickal acts. Attachment is to be understood both in the positive and negative sense, for aversion is its other face. Attachment to any attribute of oneself will prove limiting.
One is attempting to touch the sensitive parts of one’s reality more lightly in order to deny the spoiling hand of grasping desire and boredom. Thereby, one may gain enough freedom to act magickally.
The third meditation, and more active form of metamorphosis involves one’s every day habits. However innocuous, habits in thought, word and deed are the anchor of personality.
FUNK OFF! Aura Cleansing Spray
As a highly sensitive empath, I’m constantly feeling the need to cleanse my energy and aura. Smoke cleansing is lovely, but not always practical. I crafted a spray that I can use several times daily that is just as effective as smoke cleansing.
You will need:
2 oz glass spray bottle
10 drops sage essential oil
10 drops rosemary essential oil
30 drops lavender essential oil
5 drops palo santo essential oil
5 drops eucalyptus essential oil
2/3 distilled moon water (base)
1/3 vodka or grain alcohol (base)
20 drops black tourmaline gem elixir
Shake well before each use and discard unused portion after 6 months. Please use caution when handling essential oils and be mindful of allergies and drug interactions. Essential oils are very potent and can cause severe and adverse reactions in some people.
This formula is a bit lavender heavy because it’s one of my favorite herbs. You are free to tweak the amount of essential oils to suit your preferences. Enjoy!
Mind Control
from Liber Null by Peter J Carroll
To work magic, one must be able to enter a trance-like state. There are several ways to do this:
Motionlessness Arrange oneself in any comfortable position and remain in that position for as long as possible; unblinking, unmoving completely. Do not let the mind run on with long trains of thought but rather observe oneself passively. One should not be satisfied with less than fifteen minutes.
Breathing After motionlessness is achieved, deliberately make the breathing slower and deeper. The aim is to use the entire capacity of the lungs without any undue muscular effort or strain. The important thing is that the mind should direct its complete attention to the breath cycle.
Not-Thinking This is the beginning of the magickal trance state. While motionless and breathing deep, begin withdrawing your mind from any thoughts that may occur Aim for complete vigilance and try to lengthen periods of not-thinking. Practice this at set times and whenever the opportunity presents itself.

Magickal Trances
from Liber Null by Peter J. Carroll
The will can only become magickally effective when the mind is focused and not interfering with the will. If an attempt is made to focus on some form of desire, the effect is short circuited by lust of result. Egotistical identification, fear of failure and the reciprocal desire not to achieve any result, arising from our dual nature to destroy. When selecting topics for concentration, choose subjects of no useful significance. Object Concentration The ability to fix an evil eye can be practiced against any object, even just a mark on a wall. This takes hours of practice. Every attempt by the eye to distort, every attempt by the mind to think of something else, must be resisted.
Sound Concentration The part of the mind where verbal thoughts occur is brought under magickal control by concentration on sounds mentally imagined. The chosen sound (any combination of syllables) is repeated over and over to block out all other thoughts. Sound concentration is the key to words of power and certain forms of spell casting.
Image Concentration A simple shape (a triangle, square, circle, etc.) is held in the mind’s eye, without distortion, for as long as possible. At first, the image should be sought with eyes closed. With practice, it can be projected onto any surface. This technique is the basis of sigil casting and creating independent thought forms.
Initial Postulates
from Pieces of Eight by Gordon White Dr Bernardo Kastrup, On Why Idealism is superior to Physicalism and Micropsychism
1. There is subject experience. This is the primary and incontrovertible datum of existence.
2. From [1], there is that which experiences, since experience entails and experiencer.
3. A person’s experiences are private, in the sense that other people do not have direct access to the (under non-magical circumstances).
4. Measurable electrochemical activity in a person’s nervous system correlates with the person’s private experiences.
5. Nervous systems have the same essential nature - that is, they belong to the same ontological class- as the rest of the physical universe. After all, nervous systems are physical systems. They are composed of the same types of subatomic particles and force fields that make up the universe as a whole.
6. We all inhabit the same universe, despite the different points-of-view from which each person observes it and the different ways in which each person interacts with it.
7. The universe unfolds according to patterns and regularities independent of our personal volition. In other words, human beings cannot change the laws of nature by wishing them to be different. Or at least not commonly or in predictable ways.
As a youngster, I was terribly struck by Crowley's comment that the magician's 'true' magical circle, built over time, is his or her aura. To my inexperienced mind, I assumed this meant we would form invisible soap bubbles of power around our bodies through which no harm could pass. If we may begin the work of counter-reformation with this very turn of phrase - whilst also casting aside the unhelpful term 'aura'- then both the practice and goal of magic is the building (rediscovery?) of metaphoric pan-dimensional organs that allow you to perceive and participate in a much larger world: A world you gradually come to consider home. A world of wonders. A 'true' magic circle is the growing of ears to hear the stars and voices to speak the language of the dead. It is building nerve endings that let you caress the spines of demons. It is opening eyes that can see angels dancing between subatomic particles. It is having a research lab and postal address in this world and the next. Divination, enchantment, malefica, prayer. These all blur into the right action in the opportune moment.

Learn the Court Cards Fast: Reading Court Cards as Dualities
I’m not sure how helpful this post will be to others as it’s based very much in my own personal understanding of the court cards. I struggled for a very long time until I just abandoned most of what I’d read about them and began to understand them in the context of the rest of my own frameworks.
I think a common understanding of them is that you start as a Page and work your way up to being King. They often get read as “How much have you mastered the ideals of the suit?” with page being hardly at all and the King being the absolute best. It’s very hierarchical, top-down, and it’s not only sexist with regards to the Queen, but more generally invalidating of what the other cards have to offer in their own right.
I have come across alternative readings of the Court Cards but none of them really clicked until I started reading them as dualities.
The first duality I see in court cards is between the material/work and the ideals of each suit. Pages and Knights are focused on the work of each suit. They are carrying out the functions of their court, each with different advantages and disadvantages.
Unfocused vs. Focused Work
Pages, while perhaps less experienced, don’t engage with the work with the same ferocity of the Knights. Their lives tend to be more balanced, they tend to be more of the Jack of All Trades. There’s a real trade off with not being specialized. They’re versatile, flexible, ready to learn and change. But they can’t execute to the degree that a Knight can, might get easily distracted or side tracked. When not showing up in a signifying role, or showing up specifically in an action position, they can also sometimes point toward gossip or rumors.
Knights, on the other hand, are fierce to a fault. They are specialized, focused, and honestly kind of terrifying to me personally. They are the ideals of the suit, weaponized, constantly in motion. They are coming to fuck your shit up. They’re not balanced though. They’re rigid, don’t change course easily, and are stubborn to a fault. But they are also undeniably effective. They do what they set out to do, they are reliable, they will fight until the battle is won. When not showing up in a signifying role, or showing up in an action position, they can also point toward news or a reversal of luck.
Internal vs. External Ideals
Regents embody the ideals of the suit in their highest form. They are twin forms of mastery. And much like real regents, they’re often unattainable. I find in readings they serve as reminders, lessons, or status relative to other people in a situation. We might be a page of wands in an art class but a queen in our own families. I find that the lessons of the regents are much less absolute than the Major Arcana.
Queens symbolize the internal mastery of the ideals of the suit, people who’ve attained a deep understanding of the suit as it applies to themselves and those closest to them. They often work behind the scenes and their mastery isn’t always given its fair due by others. Their skill is no less refined and important though. Queens perform the kind of work that can only be done in private. They are masters of growth, healing, and wholeness in terms of their suits. For these reasons, they’re not less dangerous or effective than Kings. Their work may not always be seen but it is always deeply felt.
Kings symbolize the external mastery of the ideals of the suit, people who are publicly lauded and recognized for their expertise, passion, and skill. They are leaders, influencers, and tastemakers. They set the pace and the terms of engagement for the group around them. They often receive praise or scorn for their actions regardless of the work they actually do because their reputation proceeds them. They are undeniably skillful, especially with regards to groups of people rather than individuals. While Kings derive it from different sources, their influence is what makes them truly formidable.
Conclusion
Again, these are just my thoughts. They’re just another framework to smash up against what you already know and see what sticks. I find the duality or dualities model for the court cards to really help me and I’ve had much better luck interpreting them in readings for myself and others since building it. But it’s by far not the only way.
Another note – I’m nonbinary and I don’t consider the Queen and King to represent feminine and masculine energy of a suit like a lot of people write about. Even without the binary being alienating, I think it’s important to develop frameworks that challenge conventional gender “energy” interpretations when it comes to court cards. I’m definitely interested in how others have worked on this as well.
As always – hope this helps and if you have any questions please let me know!

3 Things to Remember as a Witch, Old or New 🌙
- your power is not limited to the objects you possess. a witch who may have more tools than you does not make *you* any less powerful.
- we are always learning. do not be in a rush to obtain every bit of information. i believe that the best things are taught by experience, and there is so much time for things to happen. every day is a new opportunity to learn, so don’t feel bombarded or like you have to know everything right away.
- you have the highest power there is: spirit. you are unique; a complete person filled with thoughts, abilities, and experiences that nobody else has; at least, not quite in the way that you do! “no one is you, and that is your power.“ ♡
