Azhdaya's Laire

Hi Azhdaya - thank you for adding me to your website group. We are actually friends on fb  and have talked a few times on there (Sally Evans). I loved your Blog entry; it rings so true to my own journey and I can identify with you all the way.

One question that I would like your advice on - a Craft name. I have been 'waiting' to see if one comes to me naturally but should I be actively looking for one myself? I have one in mind but wanted to see if I would get this to me naturally. What would you advise? xxx

Hi Sally & Welcome, again!

Re:  a Craft Name,  the best way is to just take some time and  Meditate on it ~ both,  by actually  "Meditating"  and  asking your  Spirit Guides  to come to you and help you  and /or  just really thinking about  what  Animals  or  other  Beings  (Trees,  Rocks,  Water Bodies,  etc.)  you tend to see a lot  or  come across,  either in your  Dreams  and / or  Waking Life!

. . . Thirdly,  what  Beings  do  you have a  strong  affinity or love for  and/or  connection  with?

For instance,  Ravens have always seemed to  "follow"  me  (i.e.  no matter where I go or move to,  there seem to be  Ravens there!). And I've always had a strong interest & affinity for them! . . . I've also always had a strong  love,  interest  &  affinity  for  Wolves  (and Dogs,  who are related,  of course,  have always seemed drawn to me & I seem to have a natural repore with them ~ also, a little know fact,  I tend to growl when I get really angry and howl when I need to release a srong emothion or things get too intense for me!) . . . My last,  or First,  name  (Azhdaya)  I think is more of a  Spiritual / Cosmic  connection for me ~ the Dragon  (Azhdaya in my Native Language)  has not only always been  a  strong source of interest for me my whole life,  but I've always felt  a strong connection to the Dragon and I believe that the Dragon's Medicine  or  Gift  (Teaching a Respect for  ALL  Life)  is my  Purpose in Life  &  probably the reason I've had a strong interest in & affinity for the Drago my who Life  (I'm meant to  Teach  &  Advocate  on  Other Animals  &  Beings ~ incl.  "Mythical" ones' behalf)!

So,  that's how I got my full name . . . Your's may be just  one name,  two,  three,  or even more! . . . Give it some time,  think about it & remain open & aware everyday (and night)  to  who/what comes to you,  and  continue to  Meditate on it everyday/night,  asking  them to come to you ~ either in your Dreams  and/or  Waking Life   . . . and then just be a little patient and it will come to you! 

Best of luck,  Sally!   : )

P.S.  I'll post my nightly  Meditation  in  the  Blog  and you can use it and ammend / taylor for yourself,  if you don't already have a ritual for beginning your Meditiations  (i.e. Creating your Protective Circle, etc.)  prior to  Calling on your Guides & Asking them to assist you!  : )

Blessed Be ~
