Wiccan Divine Names are sacred names that hold significance and power in Wiccan rituals and practices. These names are often used to invoke specific deities or divine energies during ceremonies and spellwork. In Wicca, the divine is seen as both immanent and transcendent, and Wiccans believe in the existence of multiple deities or divine beings. Each deity is associated with specific qualities, elements, and aspects of nature. Wiccans may choose to work with different deities depending on their personal beliefs, preferences, or the purpose of their rituals. Wiccan Divine Names vary depending on the tradition or path followed by the practitioner.
"When I came, the Colts wanted a rough, tough, mean mascot, because it's the NFL and that makes sense," Mock said. "But when it comes to this, you really want a cuddly character that kids want to come up and hug. The scary characters, kids are afraid of, but when kids turn the corner, they want to come up and hug Blue and engage with Blue."
The man behind the mane, Trey Mock, says he s been perfecting his art as the character since his days at Auburn University, where he romped around as Aubie the tiger.

Wiccan Divine Names vary depending on the tradition or path followed by the practitioner. Some common examples include the names of Celtic deities like Cernunnos and Morrigan, Norse deities such as Odin and Freya, or Greek deities like Aphrodite and Zeus. These names can be spoken or chanted during ritual invocations, prayers, or spellcasting to call upon the specific energies and attributes associated with that particular deity.
Who is the man behind the Blue fur?
INDIANAPOLIS -- Being a mascot may seem like all fun and games, but it takes endurance, preparation and the ability to walk in really big shoes.
For the Indianapolis Colts mascot, Blue, it's no different.
The man behind the mane, Trey Mock, says he's been perfecting his art as the character since his days at Auburn University, where he romped around as Aubie the tiger.
After 10 seasons in Blue's shoes, Mock has made the character into his own.
"When I came, the Colts wanted a rough, tough, mean mascot, because it's the NFL and that makes sense," Mock said. "But when it comes to this, you really want a cuddly character that kids want to come up and hug. The scary characters, kids are afraid of, but when kids turn the corner, they want to come up and hug Blue and engage with Blue."
Mock said it hasn't been hard to develop who Blue has come to be.
"It's funny because Blue's really my personality just wrapped into the fur," Mock said.
Just how long does it take to get used to wearing the suit, listed on the Colts website as weighing 360 horseshoes? Mock says it's all about knowing your costume really well.
"It's a lot like driving a manual transmission," Mock said.
With a hoof size of 14, it's not easy to walk in his shoes.
That's what I found out when I got to put on the pink version of Blue myself.
The pink Blue was created when the NFL started their push to support the fight against breast cancer, turning everything from field goal flags to pylons to gloves pink.
Mock said he came up with the idea one day before a game and using some of his old Blue costume parts, dyed everything pink as a surprise for the team, and it's stuck ever since.
But what makes wearing the suit even more special is how exclusive it is.
Mock says out of his 400 scheduled appearances a year, he's only ever missed 10-20 times, and that's only been because of family emergencies or illness. An intern and good friend of his has replaced him as his back-up, but he's never put anyone else in the suit, until now.
I found out first hand, it's not easy to be Blue. Mock loses 7-8 pounds per game.
"You get used to it, you try to hydrate and eat right," Mock said.
How does he keep in shape to handle it all? Outside of wearing the suit, he doesn't.
"Blue is enough of a workout," Mock said. "Blue is my office and my gym."
To test just how tough it is to be a mascot, Mock ran me through a mascot obstacle course.
Watch that race in the video player.
After the obstacle course, Mock felt a little threatened by his pink Blue opponent.
"I regret doing this now, but I also know that if I ever need a back up, you'll be the first one I call," Mock said.

1. Emily - 2 stars - I was really disappointed with "Wiccan divine names". I had hoped it would provide a comprehensive list of meaningful and powerful names for my Wiccan practice, but it fell short. The names listed were either too common or lacked depth and spiritual significance. I also found the book to be poorly organized and difficult to navigate. Overall, I felt that it didn't offer anything unique or valuable, and I would not recommend it to others looking for divine names in their Wiccan practice.
2. Ethan - 2 stars - I was excited to explore "Wiccan divine names", but ultimately found it to be a letdown. The book lacks substance and depth, presenting only a limited number of names without providing much context or meaning behind them. I was hoping for a deeper understanding of the divine aspects associated with each name, but I found the explanations to be superficial at best. The writing style is also quite dry and uninspiring. It might be useful for absolute beginners, but anyone looking for a more profound exploration of Wiccan divine names will be left wanting more.
3. Sarah - 1 star - I found "Wiccan divine names" to be a complete waste of time and money. The book lacked creativity and originality, simply recycling commonly known names within the Wiccan community. The information provided was shallow and uninteresting, and I felt like I could have found more comprehensive resources online for free. The overall quality of the content was poor, and I wouldn't recommend this book to anyone serious about their Wiccan practice. Save your money and explore other, more insightful resources instead.
4. John - 2 stars - "Wiccan divine names" failed to meet my expectations. The book felt rushed, with a lack of depth and background information on each name.
