Year 1: Wizardry

Excerpt from essay on my GSW name:

"My search for a magickaI name was brief but intense. I had a specific idea for what I wanted my name to say about me. I also knew that I wanted a name rooted in the Irish/Gaelic language. I searched to find a name that represented my connection with the earth. I choose Oran because it means 'pale green one'. Green is the color which represents stone or earth. It is also the color of my birthstone the emerald. Green represents life, renewal and health. Star was added on to the end because of my attraction to the star or pentagram shape. The pentagram is a powerful symbol of order, harmony and protection. It’s addition also helped to make the name more feminine. When put together my name means pale green star. I am Oranstar."
