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?

Re: Naming Your 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.

Re: Naming Your Blog
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.

Re: Naming Your Blog
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.Where I ramble on: Baring the Aegis
Where I try to be coherent: Little Witch magazine
