Crossing the Void

I thought I'd start a thread for people crossing the void who need help nameing entities they've met (like me). It's a bit like nameing pokémon, so come on barbaloids get you mythology books out. I'll start.

Humanoid in apearence, tiger-striped, sprite, about as tall as your knee, lives in an ancient stone garden covered in grass, trees and vines present. You would be happy if it noticed you. You would feel honoured if it approached you. I was lying down in the garden and it climbed on to my chest looked into my eyes and telepathicaly told me to 'let it go', over and over, which I could also feel in my solor plexus.

Why didn't you ask it its name yourself?

Did'nt have time, it moved away after it spoke. When it spoke it was kindacold/rock like in my stomatch. Thought it might be Salamanda but did'nt have the lizard characristics.

it sounds like it might be called 'tigger', or perhaps 'tony'. was it at all interested in what you usually have for breakfast?

I might start a thread in the laboratory for people who need help naming scientists they've met. I was in the library the other day and I saw this guy studying superstring theory, he was wearing a brown jumper and had horn rimmed glasses and auburn hair. I was thinking of calling him "Peter Wilkinson". What do you guys think? Do you think this might be a good name for him? It sounds kind of right, but I'm not so sure?

Talk to the entity and ask it what it's called! Communicate with it. Engage with it. If you didn't have time to ask it's name on first contact, go back and look for it again. Try to befriend it, see what it's about, ask what it wants, try and build a relationship. Why are you asking people on a message board to help you name something instead of just following up on the experience and letting the entity's name, attributes and agenda emerge naturally out of the work? Why not give it some time and space to reveal these things to you in it's own time, rather than just making something up in a way that's totally unconnected with the experience?
