"The act of taking a magickal name is liberating, revolutionary and transformative. Not everyone is as lucky as I am to be born with a name that speaks loudly and assuredly, if that is true for you this book serves as a valuable tool to find your way to something that is both an invocation and a call to action- namely your name."

"The Witch’s Name offers the reader an exploration of the magic of words and the power of the magical personae. With exercises and rituals which unveil various processes of self-reflection which lead the witch towards greater sovereignty through the examination and claiming of one’s identity. There is a richness to the magic within these pages that extends beyond what many readers might expect at first glance. At its heart, this is a work that assists the witch in one of the most important and foundational of magical endeavors, knowing thyself."

"Words have power and names have greater power still. This lore is well known but rarely unpacked and explained so it can be put to full use. A witch’s magickal name is a vessel and a vehicle for their power and the identities that they embody. The Witch’s Name: Crafting Identities of Magical Power by Storm Faerywolf is the richest and fullest exploration that I’ve read of this aspect of magick. An unexpected benefit of this book is that it teaches quite a bit about witchcraft, identity, and spirituality as it demonstrates the process of working with an empowered name. I encourage you to add it to your library."

"Naming is some of the oldest magick, and it is magick that each of us should personally claim. In this volume, Storm Faerywolf teaches us the liberating power of defining our own identities and why it's important for us to explore, celebrate, and choose our names. An essential volume not only for witches and magickal workers but also for anyone doing the work to realize their most authentic selves."

"With his book, Storm Faerywolf has given to 'witchdom' (and all magic workers) an invaluable tool that no doubt will find its way to the shelves of all witches, covens, traditions, lineages, systems, and solitary practitioners everywhere. It honors the much beloved and deeply sacred use of the 'magical' or 'hidden name' of the witch with depth, breadth, and sincerity in a way I have never seen before…I advise my witches to become the greatest spell they've ever cast upon the world. The process of selecting, conferring, and announcing the name of the newly born witch or self-proclaimed witch, is the capstone of their arrival in the world and the proclamation of this spell. With this book, we now have a potent and authoritative guide in choosing the shape and outcome of this powerful practice."
