If I were to choose a name for myself at this moment, it would be Aisling Love. In the Irish language, Aisling means “dream” or “vision”. The name is sometimes pronounced Ashlin, which is how I pronounce it.
It is within my dreams that I connect to my highest self, to what many people refer to as God or the Goddess. It is also referred to as the Consciousness, or the Universe, or the Beloved by others. And this is how the last name Love fits into the picture. Having an open heart to love in all its forms is to have an open and direct connection to the Goddess. We all have it and tap into it when we have our hearts open. We are all one.
In the interest of being up front and honest with everyone who reads my writing or interacts with me, this is not my given legal name. My writing here is an exploration into the divine feminine within me.
