Book of Names Could Account for Each and Every Named Deck
The Vital Records of the Vitruvian Edition Inspiration for the Names ......................................................... 2 List of All Names ...................................................................... 3 Significance of the Names ...................................................... 22 BENEBELL WEN 2019 UPDATED 2019 NOV 12 Inspiration for the Names These names were chosen with great care. Every name exemplifies the same purpose: to be a divine spark, a seed of Divinity. Before a prospective name could make it onto this list, it needed to connect to Divinity and to the Light in some meaningful way and the name needed to represent a beneficent aspiration or power I wanted to imbue a Spirit Keeper’s Tarot deck with. I started with religion and mythology, sourcing names sacred to the ancient Mesopotamian religions—Akkadian, Assyrian, Babylonian, and Sumerian mythology, Buddhist-inspired names in Sanskrit or Pali, Shinto (Way of the Spirit)-inspired names in Japanese or Korean, the names of deities from the various polytheistic pagan pantheons across Europe, Russian mythology, Yoruban mythology, Egyptian, Carthenian, Celtic, Norse, and pre-Columbian civilizations in the Americas. Words such as prophet, prophetess, priest, priestess, prophecy, shaman, warrior, strength, prosperity, abundance, light, heaven, celestial, or divinity were translated into various sacred languages and those also became names on the list. In some instances, I worked with etymological roots from romance languages or sacred languages (such as Latin, Greek, classical Arabic, Hebrew, and Sanskrit) to conceive names that would be deeply meaningful and designate the deck’s power and potential. A few of these names were custom selected by those who ordered a deck, and those names have been added to the list as well, so that the Book of Names could account for each and every named deck. -

The Story Games Names Project
The Story Games Names Project Compiled by volunteers from story-games.com Foreword by Paul Tevis Foreword by Paul Tevis “What’s Montague? it is nor hand, nor foot, Nor arm, nor face, nor any other part Belonging to a man. O, be some other name! What’s in a name? that which we call a rose By any other name would smell as sweet; So Romeo would, were he not Romeo call’d, Retain that dear perfection which he owes Without that title.” --Romeo and Juliet, Act II, Scene 2 Shakespeare is, of course, pulling our leg on this one. I find it difficult to believe that a man who wrote plays about a missing princess named Perdita (from the Italian word for “loss”), a suicidal girl named Ophelia (from the Greek for “help”), and a villain named Iago (a Spanish variant of James, from the Hebrew meaning “he who supplants”) really thought that names don’t matter. After all, good names take a long time to come up with. Given his rehersal schedule, if Shakespeare really believed this nonsense he would have had a lot more plays with characters named “Bob.” Like Shakespeare, I love names, and I understand their importance in creating an appropriate dramatic mood. (Unlike Shakespeare, I’m not a ge- nius, but you work with what you’ve got.) Names are an important part of my games. When I’m putting together a campaign setting, one of the first things I go for is a name list. Am I running a Viking game? Then I’ve got to have Viking names. -
