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. As for how these names might be pronounced, if it matters to you, then take time to ruminate inward, rather than looking outward, for the vocalized utterance of the name that will mean the most to you, and that shall henceforth be the pronunciation of the name. 2 List of All Names Aagen Adelina Aenora Aagneya Adelma Aenorella Aalis Adelmar Aenorelle Abarrane Adelmara Aerecura Abbatissa Adelmo
