I've begun to feel a real shift away from what I've been referring to as my pagan name for probably the last few months.
'Tahlea Moonwater' is beginning to feel nothing to me now. I originally came up with the name because I didn't feel my real name (Terri) was very spiritual or pagany, and I love the moon, and water is my element. This name has been my alter-ego for close to 10 years and now I'm feeling myself being drawn away from it.
I guess I kind of feel like the name is my 'past' - it represents a very amateur Pagan to me (14-15 years old), whereas I like to think I've come a bit further on my path and I'm more knowledgeable than I once was. I think about things like people asking me questions at the start compared to how I answer those same questions now, and I have much more confidence in answering questions about my path than I did earlier on.
Has anyone else had this experience? I'd still like to have an alternative name when it comes to my craft, but I'm not feeling or sensing that "Tahlea Moonwater" is it any more.
