So my wife and I have been talking (well, mainly her talking – this is her idea!) about starting a YouTube channel, so after much hemming and hawing (and lots of stuff to do at work and around our home), we finally created the channel and named it.<\/p>\n
Now, this blog is titled Sacred Temptation, so, of course, I wanted to name the YouTube channel that as well. Wife was . . . not enthused. Gave other suggestions. I was not enthused. Dropped the subject. Kept coming back to the subject. Today, she said “let’s go with it.” Great! But then I googled Sacred Temptation, just to make sure no one else was using it as a brand (don’t want to get sued here!). No brands that we could find, but some of the results were . . . interesting (a personal social media site of some sort, assorted err . . . religious costumes, and an older ebook that is most definitely NSFW!), and possibly not what we wanted associated with the up and coming YouTube channel.<\/p>\n
So the Search For A New Name was on. She suggested translating into Latin: TEMPTATIONIS SACRAE. Doesn’t exactly roll off the tongue. She kinda liked it – I wasn’t too keen on trying to say that over and over again. Tried a few other combos, tried looking for synonyms for “temptation” while keeping “sacred.” Nothing was really clicking for me.<\/p>\n
There’s times (like when I’m naming a blog, or choosing a name for a new PC for WOW or D&D 5e) when I wait for that “a ha” moment – I found what I was looking for. I remembered that somewhere I had a document where I was brainstorming names for this very blog way back in the day. I found the Word doc. I looked through my old brainstorming session notes. And viola! Apophatic Numinosity was born.<\/p>\n
So far, that’s all we really have \ud83d\ude42 But by mid-March we should have our first episodes ready to go. I’m excited – let’s see how this goes!<\/p>\n
Blessings & Peace,
