Vintage Names

They are names taken from Roman, Greek, Scandinavian, Slavic, Egyptian, and other mythology. Mythical names include names of mythical creatures, names of mythical heroes, names of mythological gods, names of mythical animals, etc.

The destiny of the person who bears this name follows from the mythical character of the name. The Myth indicates the goal and path.

Knowledge of the Myth helps to foresee variants of the fate associated with the name. Therefore, choosing a fictitious name (the name of a mythical hero) for a child, it is preferable to know the essence of the Myth.

It is also desirable to know at least the essential character traits of the child based on the horoscope so that the character of the child corresponds to the role of the mythical hero. If the child is very calm and reserved by nature, and his parents give him the name of Mars (the god of war), then the classical name will bring a strong dissonance to the fate of the child. Or a girl with an active Mars in the horoscope will be given the name Lada or Selena – the names of the moon. There will also be a dissonance between the name and character of the child.

Brief energy-information characteristic of some Vintage names

Anga – the energy of this name transforms the character of a person into a cunning, snake, treacherous type. On the energy-informational plane, this name looks like a giant snake, such as an anaconda, only mobile and dangerous, capable of swallowing a lot.

A person with this name is dangerous. A right mind combined with a strong intuition and sufficient willpower is all a set of good mages.

A man is unlikely to stay long with a woman named Anga. After a sexual relationship with her, a man will feel sucked like a lemon. He will lose a lot of energy.

The only place a woman with this name can realize herself is magic.

Neither personal life, nor career, nor doing business – a person with this name can achieve nothing from this list.

Vega – the energy of this name distorts the entire energy-informational structure of a person. This name is dangerous and breaks the fate of a person.

Lyra – this name makes a woman insecure, living with constant fear – fear of losing her job, fear of getting sick. Many phobias give this name. Unfortunate name. This name can only be advised to the enemy.

Vesta – this name dramatically increases a person’s self-esteem. A person begins to look down on the people around him. It increases his pride.

This name negatively affects the character of a woman. She is unlikely to have a beautiful personal life, no friends, no friends, no permanent job. She will have nothing left but her big ego, her self-conceit. She will consider herself the benchmark in every way. However, no one will love her. This name doesn’t suit anyone.

Selena – this name actively blocks the work of the 4th energy center. Reduces immunity, worsens the work of the cardiovascular system, lungs. Sadness and sadness develop in a person. A woman becomes unable to love and be loved — not a proper name for a woman.

Isis – this name activates the 6th and 3rd energy centers quite strongly. Enables the 7th center a little. The name gives the male type of energy, makes the woman’s character dry, uncommunicative. Of the professions, she could be a good bookkeeper in an industrial warehouse.

There will most likely be no personal life with this name. In my career, she will not achieve much success. He can join a sect against the backdrop of a failed own life. At best, she will become a follower of the official church. If a woman was given this name, then she has few excellent spiritual achievements. The name is material.

Olga-Hera – this name negatively affects the work of the cardiovascular system, increases intracranial pressure. Man lives in sorrow. Not the best combination of two names.
