Wiccan Cat Names: Cat Names to Bewitch You!
For those of you who aren’t familiar with Wicca, it is a religion that
comes under the umbrella term of Paganism. There is very little
consensus on what constitute Wiccan beliefs and practices and you will
find that ‘traditional’ witches and ‘eclectic’ and ‘solitary’ witches
all describe themselves as following the Wiccan path. However, most
Wiccans agree that followers can expect direct personal experience of
the divine and both female and male divinities. Belief and experience
of the efficacy of Magic rituals and reverence towards nature in all
‘her’ forms also plays a central role within the Wiccan community.
The gods and goddesses and magic words that are now associated with
Wicca have been evolving through history. This is nothing new - great
civilizations adapted their gods and goddesses to suit their own
circumstances, their history, and the needs of their followers, rulers
and often invaders. So you want an authentic and real Wiccan cat name?
Just how far back do you want to go?
Wiccan cat names are not for everyone, but if you are looking for a
mystical or more unusual cat name these should invoke some special cat
name magic.
These cat names can be used as they are or by mixing and matching.
This won’t make the names any less ‘real’ or meaningful – this is
exactly the way modern Wiccans who choose to take a new name might
design their own.
So whether you want a pagan cat name because it’s cool or because you
have an affinity with the old earth mysteries and nature, I hope these
suggestions will encourage you to create a great name with just a hint
of mystery and ‘otherness’.
Designing your Perfect Wiccan Cat Name
I have divided the Wiccan cat names into traditionally magical
animals, plants, trees, words with a mystical association, natural
objects and stones. You can associate each of these words with
another, or allow the words to wash over you and jog your imagination
and creativity, bringing the perfect Wiccan cat name to the surface.
Perhaps the word describes something you’ve noticed about your cat, or
perhaps your cat was born or became ‘yours’ on a old pagan festival
day?
Some of the words bring to mind colours - Sapphire for a Siamese would
be great.
You might just like the sound or memory behind your chosen word.
Remember that the cat will respond better to a single or simple-
sounding word, so leave the complicated ones for a breed suffix or
cattery name. Or, use a nickname when you want your cat to hopefully
come to you.
Don’t forget – to a certain extent you’ll be judged by your choice of
name, so make sure you’re not embarrassed to use it, for example at
the vets or when calling your cat in from the garden or yard! “Little
Witch please come in now” she whispered frantically but little Witch
was deafer than usual this warm, very still mousing night.
The following list of Wiccan or pagan cat names is far from
comprehensive. I hope it will serve as a memory jogger to help your
creativity and stimulate your imagination. Try to put the words
together in unique combinations until you have the perfect Wiccan cat
name to suit your mysterious feline. These words all have pagan links,
but they are also ordinary words. They only become ‘magic’ within the
context of a ceremony, or within the imagination of the person walking
the Wiccan path. Wiccans believe and expect that words affect other
planes of existence or vibration so try and choose something that
describes your cat or something that your cat can aspire to rather
than something with bad or dark connotations that will not support
your growing Siamese kitten. Still want the responsibility of a
magical cat name?
TIP: Print off the names and cut them up. Turn them over and pick up
two or three until you get a great name or trigger a train of thought
that leads you to your kitten’s name
