There are many ways to find a secret name .This name will be your name of power. You'll never reveal this to anyone except your most
trusted companions .you'll use this name in all your spells ,prayers for it will be the name the gods know YOU as ,like when you might say--as i will it, so mote it be ,you'll now say as I (your name )will it ,so mote it be .
You can use numerology ,but I recommend using the numerology of the language you chose ,such as michael--greek ,mikael --- hebrew or you can create an acronym of the qualities you possess,such as honor, ,empathy,valor,grace,religious===hevgr=hevgar
Alot of people chose a name that corresponds to their patron ,matron diety such as set===seti. You can chose a name that corresponds to your totem ,power animal such as if your zodiac sign is a fire sign and your power animal was a serpent ,you can call your self serpentfire . Others have created a name by creating a motto,then using other languages or archaic words to translate this motto into a name ,such as Aleister Crowley's latin name Perdurabo,means I will endure.
The most important thing is that this name represents your true self .Give it alot of thought and even pray ,let your inner spirit guide you .You will know when you have found your true name cause it will seem like you had this name forever ,it will instill a feeling of power within you ..Always remember only you can chose your name .
