#OWC #NameGame How i found my name

Author's Avatar

So I am interested in this OWC because it is something that I’m not sure how many of us understand or even think about. Your magical name is just as important as your birth name. I know parents especially mothers spend a lot of time thinking of that perfect name for their child. It could have a deep meaning such as from their father or maybe their grandmother. Just like our last names carry its own story, our magical names do the same.

In my opinion a magical name doesn’t have to be complex or fancy. It could be just as simple as for example Starhawk. I know my ancestors the Native Americans traditionally have names like that. The reason is because of the persons personality or maybe even a special job or something they did to earn it. In my opinion our magical names speaks more then letters and sound. It describes our soul. That’s why in some traditions they have what is called a Naming Ceremony where that person is named.

So for my own name it honestly just came to me one day. I use to go by Rose or Rosedragon. But I wanted a name that describes me, a name that I feel spiritually connected to. So of course I sat down and was going over in my head what name be good for me. There is one thing about me, I’m good at reading people and their energy but when it comes to myself, I’m blind. :joy: So I asked my guide to help me some how with this. That’s when flower came to mind. But that didn’t exactly sound right to me so I played around with the word and that’s how I got clora. Now the zo part is still a mystery to me on how that came up. But it did. So the end product was Zoclora. Now like a lot of us I was interested into seeing if there is meaning behind my name or if it’s unique and nothing on paper about it. So here is what I found.

Zoe- This means life in Greek.

Clora- Clora translates into Clara which is Latin for Clarus which means bright or light.

So the end product of my name meaning is, a bright life or even so a guiding life light. Which is interesting given that I do help with spirits and I do want to be a healer of sorts. So this name fits me perfectly as a magical name. I truly feel blessed to know my magical name and it’s one I will continue to cherish until the end of time. :relaxed:
