Nomenclature has been dictated to us by the Christian church since the Norman conquest of England in 1066, when people were forced to name their children from the bible, lest they be punished severely and shunned by society.
As Satanists we are free to choose our own names, but they must be chosen carefully. Names are powerful tools that have the ability to transform personality, the way others see us, and most importantly, how we see ourselves. A name will reflect the person who bears it and vise versa. In today’s world, this power has been stolen from our names, because most people are unaware of the meaning and origin of their names. And most people don’t realize that their names are biblical, they simply think of them as normal. And they are normal, in a sense, considering that the most common names given from 1750 until now were taken from a bank of less than two-hundred Christian names.
But no longer will we take meaningless names that were once forced upon us by our Christian oppressors. As Satanists, we change our names to reflect our personalities and our desires, so that they once again hold meaning and power.
A veteran Satanist is a person of many names, used for a variety of purposes. Every Satanist should have a true name, as well as secret name, kept to yourself to prevent others from using magic against you. For as you probably know to have control over someone or something it helps immensely to know their name.
Be careful in choosing a name that once belonged to someone close to you who has died in a tragic way. Their fate may end up being yours as well.
Sexual names can also be taken on to enhance the quality of one's sex life. Men who wish to get in touch with their feminine side should take on a feminine name in the bedroom, and vise versa. Switching your sexual orientation, or at least taking on the viewpoint of the opposite sex (transference), is healthy and natural. Naming your counter sexualities (i.e. anima or animus) and playing rolls with them is a potent form of sexual sorcery, and will lead to the balance of dualities vital to obtaining personal godhood. We are all both masculine and feminine, dark and light. The phobia of exploring our true desires is only a byproduct of the canned Christianity we've been forced to consume our whole lives, and nothing more. I recommend that any one who intends to interact with Lilith be balanced and secure with their sexuality.
We draw power from our names, and formulate our characters and self-image from them, and so you should choose a name that will strengthen your personality and counter any character flaws you may have. For example, for those who feel that they are meek and wish to become more dominant, you must take on a stronger name that demands more respect.
