Magical Name

By Patti Wigington, About.com

Definition:

Many Pagans and Wiccans adopt a magical name upon their initiation into the Craft. This can be a name you select for yourself, or one given to you by someone else. The magical name is usually only revealed in a ritual setting, and isn’t usually used outside of the coven or group.

Also Known As: Craft Name, True Name
Examples: When Jessica joined Three Circles Coven, she adopted the magical name of Starfire.
