I took another class from a friend on finding your magickal name. I've had a few over the years. I used "shadowrose" from the very beginning, because I liked dark colors, such as black and purple, and the rose was my favorite flower. Lately, as I've delved deeper into the craft I wondered if it was time to move on to something different, more in tune with where I am now. However, I have found that the darker side of the path attracts me. Not evil, but the darker aspects, the shadow work. The darker deities, doing moon work. I've always liked the night. Also, I have acquired an old English rose, an apothecary rose. That thing is indestructable. It takes over and chokes out everything in it's path. It is aggressive and assertive. It is thorny and protective. So, the idea of ShadowRose was reaffirmed for me, because that is what I am seeking on this path. Through my meditation though, I have added a last name to reflect the call I feel from the Morrigan. So officially my name is ShadowRose NicMor-rioghain. "Nic" is gaelic for "daughter of."
I picked up some treasures this weekend.
This gorgeous hand-thrown mug spoke to me. Each one was a little different in size and shape, truly unique. I picked the one that called to me.
this medallion also spoke to me. Reminded me of a theatre mask.
I found an 8 note thumb piano. It's lots of fun to play!
