craft name
A Craft name, also known as a magical (or magickal) name is a secondary religious name often adopted by practitioners of Wicca and other forms of Neopagan witchcraft or magic. Craft names may be adopted as a means of protecting one's privacy (especially for those who are "in the broom closet"), as an expression of religious devotion, or as a part of an initiation ritual. It may also be used as a protective method, as it is believed by some that one's "true name" can be used as a taglock, to identify that person for the purpose of magical activities (predominantly curses).
==Pseudonym==
The idea of using an alternate name as an attempt to develop a different persona is not restricted to Neopagans: Samuel Clemens' adoption of the name Mark Twain has been described as the adoption of a magical name.〔Cardwell, Guy A. ''Samuel Clemens' Magical Pseudonym''. The New England Quarterly, Vol. 48, No. 2 (Jun., 1975), pp. 175-193〕 Before the emergence of Neopaganism similar pseudonyms appear to have been used by writers of grimoires such as ''The Book of Abramelin'', attributed to the Rabbi Yaakov Moelin.〔Georg Dehn (ed.) ''Book of Abramelin: A New Translation by Abraham von Worms'', (2006),Nicholas Hays. ISBN 0-89254-127-X〕
