Need YOUR Help


Ok, I have a collection of gazes, breaths, gestures, and postures that I am putting into a chapter in the book. These will be part of larger rituals in the book, or can be used solo.

I need a snappy name for the collection. I have merely been calling them "keys" for the last few years but I dont like that much.

Suggest a name for me, wont you?

If someone comes up with a good one you will get thanked by name in the book.

  2. how about elements or components?
    you could always just use an older variant of key - caeg?

  3. In NLP usage , these things are "anchors." Anchor-gestures? Anchor-events?

    Cantrip is pretty cool as well - so I'm going to use that (danke schoen Al) for my own stuff.

    Triggers? Charges? Postures? Henry?

  4. The combination of these things could be called "Wills". Though, if you got a tad more specific about what context you were putting them in, we may come up with better ideas. I mean I can guess but how you spin the idea is unique to you.

  5. Cantrip? I had to get my boyfriend to explain that one to me. Not all magicians play D&D.

    I kinda thought it might be a misspelling of "Catnip."

  6. I use a litin theme in mine and have used these terms to describe my collection.

    sitella is an urn for drawing lots, a metaphoric container of keys.

    Sigorum is a collection of signs, actions or gestures.

  7. It's in the Oxford English Dictionary, Persephone. D&D didn't invent the word.
