Name That Witch
"Merry Meet,
I've been told by others I'm good at coming up with magickal names and that I should start a column, web site or other. I've named a few witches. Someone came up with the phrase "NAME THAT WITCH" right after I named her. It seems catchy. More and more people are asking me to help them with a magick name for themselves. Below is a questionaire I made to help others with information I could use for finding their names.

        Blessed Be

        Celte Brigandarte"
