    Naming Your Blog

    For those of you who use a blog as part of your spiritual practice, how did you come up with the name?

    The name came up out of the blue, but I chose to use it because it best sums up my beliefs.
    Fluid Morality - my spiritual blog
    Eating Monsters - my personal blog

    The name is translated into English as "Lights and Shadows Play" - because, well, my God's main association is the Light, and you can't really have light without shadows, not with Him anyway. As such, the interplay of Light and Darkness plays a major role in my spirituality.

    The name just came to me, and since it's a private blog, the name doesn't really matter to anyone but myself... but still, it's been fitting.

    Because I'm incredibly unoriginal sometimes, it's basically the English translation of my public pagan name, plus "path".

    My private blog is "Behind the Masks", which is just a place for me to figure out what masks I wear, and who the person is underneath (the "core").

    I was trying to think of something Greek related for my further exploration into Hellenismos. I know temples didn't have doors but it's metaphorical.

    Mine is the name of a section from Maya Cosmos that talks about the architecture of Chich'en Itza and how the symbolic features of the city layout insinuate the story of creation, and the upper/surface/under world structure of the universe. It's a simple, but beautiful, thesis.

    It needed to be something with a Greek focus, as my writing is Hellenic. I also wanted it to have to do something with mythology and, if at all possible, Zeus, Athena and Hekate. I didn't quite succeed with the latter but the rest is in there. It also needed to reflect that I am a very open blogger when it comes to my emotions and experiences, but that I go through life shielded because I tend to experience a bit too much due to my HSP.

    'Baring the Aegis' was perfect as the Aegis is a shield, held by Zeus and Athena. By playing with the words 'bearing' and 'baring', I got to convey another part of my needs and, of course, the Aegis is a part of Greek mythology.

    Overall, I'm very happy with it.

    It's my Tarot querent. I have a really hard time thinking of good names for things like that. Ugh. Maybe once I have a better conception and actually finish writing something I'll have a better "feel" for the title.

    My blog has a horribly boring title. It's "A Roman Polytheist" because, well, I'm a Roman polytheist/reconstructionist.

    Mine isn't solely religious in scope, so originally it was Carolinas to the Caribbean, because that was going on at the time. Recently I retitled it The Smurfette Principle, which pretty well describes where I am personally and professionally at the moment.
