How to Choose the Best Witch Name

PDF download Download Article
  1. Who you are in your waking life isn’t always the same person you are when you’re practicing witchcraft. When looking for a witchy name, think about what originally drew you to witchcraft itself. Were they celestial forces like the sun, stars, or moon, or things like flowers, trees, and animals? Listen to your inner voice and decide on an identity that fits who you are as a witch. [14]
    • You can perform a ritual or meditate while listening for a name to make itself known to you. You may also notice a particular flower or animal while taking a walk, or read about a certain goddess in a book. Pay attention, and think about how it would feel to have the name.
    • The same applies if you’re choosing a witch name for your baby or for a character you’re writing. Put yourself in their place and think about what identity they might like to embrace.
  2. 2
    Choose among themes that speak to you, from nature to mythology. There are many avenues when it comes to finding the best witch names, which include words associated with witchcraft, names that translate to witch, or mythological priest and priestess figures. If working with nature attracts you, consider the names of plants, trees, flowers, or witchcraft herbs that have been used in Wiccan rituals. [15]
    • Be specific—if you’ve always loved Celtic mythology, start with names of Celtic goddesses, folklore figures, or trees and plants that the Celts used in pagan rituals.
    • If the occult is more to your liking, think about darker figures like Aleister Crowley or Bridget Bishop, the first woman executed at the Salem Witch Trials. [16]
  3. Avoid simply picking a witchy name and not using it. When in the company of other people who practice witchcraft or are fans, use your name so others use it too. Repeat your witch name to yourself so it begins to embody your witch identity, or repeat it to the person you give the witch name to. If creating a character, refer to them by their witch name when writing their story. [17]
