The Complete Book Of Magical Names

Are you in search of the perfect magical name for yourself, your child, your house, pets, or business? Do you need ideas for what to call your magical tools or coven? Look no further! With the help of this book, you can find or create a meaningful and powerful name to reflect the true essence of anyone, anyplace, or anything. The Complete Book of Magical Names is the only compilation of non-biblical names and their meanings in print. Written from a Wiccan perspective, this book lists nearly 5,000 names (with pronunciations) taken from modern and ancient sources: nature, mythology, history, fantasy, literature, magical places, and faraway lands. Names are indexed by the characteristics they invoke (from "abundance" to "wisdom") to make it easy for you to select a name that captures who you are-and who you hope to become. There is tremendous energy within names. Ancient people understood this and chose their names carefully. Discover how you, too, can protect, empower, and transform yourself by choosing the magical name that's meant for you.

Parents want the perfect name for their child. Among the baby books available today, none are tailored to the needs of witches, pagans, and other seekers.

With more than 5,000 names to choose from, this book is the only lexicon of non-Christian names and their meanings in print. Discover the folklore behind a name, and learn specific rituals to unleash its power.

"This complete self-study course in modern Wicca is a treasured classic - an essential and trusted guide that belongs in every witch's library."---Back cover

Baby-naming has become an art form with parents today, but where do parents go to find names and their meanings? The Name Book offers particular inspiration to those who want more than just a list of popular names. From Aaron to Zoe, this useful book includes the cultural origin, the literal meaning, and the spiritual significance of more than 10,000 names. An appropriate verse of Scripture accompanies each name, offering parents a special way to bless their children.

Mysteries, mazes, and magic combine in this smart, funny summer-camp fantasy -- like THE AMAZING ADVENTURES OF KAVALIER & CLAY for kids! Dahlia Sherman loves magic, and Math Club, and Guitar Hero. She isn't so fond of nature walks, and Hebrew campfire songs, and mean girls her own age.All of which makes a week at summer camp pretty much the worst idea ever. But within minutes of arriving at camp, Dahlia realizes that it might not be as bad as she'd feared. First she sees two little girls walk right through the walls of her cabin. Then come the dreams -- frighteningly detailed visions of a young man being pursued through 1930s New York City. How are the dreams and the girls related? Why is Dahlia the only one who can see any of them? And what's up with the overgrown, strangely shaped hedge maze that none of the campers are allowed to touch? Dahlia's increasingly dangerous quest for answers will lead her right to the center of the maze -- but it will take all her courage, smarts, and sleight-of-hand skills to get her back out again.
