[Kitty · Rating 4 out of 5]

Claiming a magical name feels overwhelming, but a guide to help focus the effort really helps! Faerywolf includes brief meanings for a variety of sources to find a name and some simple tools to for divination/numerology.

I also really appreciated Faerywolf's openness about their own journey to claiming a name, and what that meant to them on a personal level. The autobiographical details of this one make it a very compelling read.

I'd recommend for sure to anyone interested in the process and what it means to claim a witch name.
