badstarDo you have a "Pagan" name or a "Magic" name?
Do you use it in public?
Do you find that a lot of the pagans in your area use magic names? Do they use them more than their given names?
If you don't have a magic name, do you ever get od reactions for not?
I'm just curious because a few weeks ago, I was talking to someone from the community at a gathering, we'd met a few times before at rituals at the Grove, and seen each other around town...she asked me to remind her what my name was, so I did...and then she asked if I had a magic name. When I responded that I didn't, she looked at me as though I had just grew a 3rd arm or something. Not the first time I'd had such a reaction. It was a little weird. So just curious of anyone else has seen this.
To everyone else: feel free to Nod and Smile. Pagans Are Weird :-P
