"My chosen name reflects who I am and my chosen path to self-evolution and spiritual becoming."
Jeh
In Ancient Mesopotamian beliefs an alternate name for Az, mother of evil spirits; in some traditions the �Princess of Darkness� in that Jeh is the muse spirit that inspires other dark beings, such as Ahriman, the �Prince of Darkness.� Jeh represents insatiable sexual hunger (thus �the primeval whore�) as a symbol for awakening and inspiration as well as the desire for immortality. Jeh (Az) is also a goddess of religious doubt who tears apart the chains of dogma.
Jeh�s passion is a creative force behind the origins of humanity: Gayomart, the primeval man in Persian mythology who was created by the supreme god Ahura Mazda, lived as a spirit for 3,000 years, then assumed the corporeal form of a handsome youth. He lived in this form for 30 years, but was poisoned by Ahriman at the instigation of Jeh. From his seed grew Mashye and Mashyane, the father and mother of the human race.
Maga
Latin: Maga = �witch or female magician�.
Black Rose
Black is darkness (night), the shroud within which is found the hidden knowledge/wisdom of the universe (as in �Black� Magick). The black rose has often been used as a symbol of death, although its true occult meaning has been as a symbol of that which was arcane and forbidden, including the power to transcend death itself.
The name Black Rose symbolizes one who dedicates herself to living by, and teaching, the hidden knowledge or wisdom found within the darkness, and in so doing prepares herself to transcend to ever-greater levels of power and existence.
