Wicca religion - often referred to as Witchcraft or the Craft - is a neopagan duotheistic religion that reveres the Earth for their Goddess and her consort, the horned God. The followers of this religion are denoted as Wiccans. It is believed that the origins of this Earth centered faith lie in England with most of the branches of Wicca being related to Gardnerian Witchcraft (which was founded in the UK during the late 1940s). The Wiccans practice "magick" in an effort to manipulate the natural world and alter mental and material conditions. The rituals are directly linked to natural phenomena like the four seasons, the solstices and the equinoxes while their symbols are based on the connectedness of nature to human life. The paganism is very different from the extensive religious propaganda dating from the late Middle Ages that linked Wiccan to satanism. How to Choose Once a Wiccan has chosen his or her path they need to choose names. Unlike normal names, the choice of Wiccan names is not a simple decision. Not only are the names and meanings quite wide ranging, the choice is also, essentially, a personal decision. It is considered a symbolic rebirth and is considered to be a secret between the person and the gods and goddesses. There are a number of inspirations that you can draw from, when choosing your Wiccan name. The name could either epitomize your strongest personality traits or could be a sign from the spiritual world. Many Wiccans take inspiration for their names from nature. Remember that the power of the Wiccan names should not be underestimated and needs time and effort.
