What Does MAGA Mean To You?

How important is a name? Was a person's name so important or powerful until Egyptians hid their REAL name? What comes to mind when you hear the word/name MAGA?

In the Ancient Near East, the NAME is the soul and essence of the person who receives it, and the one who names binds the meaning of the name to the person as a fate or destiny. The only way that the fate or destiny can change is if a creature of higher power changes the name. As long as the name of the being exists, the being will exist throughout eternity as part of the fabric of the divine order.

We no longer live in ancient times, but we do live in times where ancient beliefs can be seen in real time. Donald Trump's followers have happily identified as MAGA. The acronym, MAGA stands for: Make America Great Again, which they believe they can and will achieve by voting for Trump for president. But by choosing the acronym, NAME - MAGA, to be CALLED, they are putting into full force the definition of the word's meaning each time it is spoken into the universe. Donald Trump NAMED them and now they are bonded by their name's MEANING and fate/destiny.

Even though MAGA is an acronym, its pronunciation is the same as it is used in other languages. So, what power does a name really have? In Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, the question is asked: “What’s in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet.” Shakespeare did not accurately describe the individual power of names. His concern was that the essence of the object or person was not in the name but in the person. In the Ancient Near East, the name was opposite of what Shakespeare believed because it contained the soul of the being that it inhabited.216048895.pdf (core.ac.uk). 

Names have always had meaning/use/power. People have believed if someone has a name that means something powerful, then the person with that name is bound to have or obtain that level of power. In the past, to ensure a long life for a child, a way to deter the death of that child was to name the child after a dead relative. The spirit or demon will see that the name bearer is already dead and will leave the child alone. Children, especially male children, are named after heroes or accomplished male figures. In modern times, parents research names for their unborn children which they hope the child will have some of its attributes. Names matter still.

Do those who call themselves MAGA understand what they are naming themselves? The word maga has different meanings in different languages, including in Kannada, Maga can be a noun that means "boy or man" or "son" in relation to his parents. It can also be a term of endearment used by elders to address boys. Māga can also be a noun that means "the coldest season" or "winter season". It can also refer to the eleventh month of the Hindu lunar calendar year. In Portuguese, Maga means "sorceress". For example, someone might be called "maga do corpo" which means "body sorceress". In Japanese, Maga can mean "confusion", "complication", or "distortion". It can also refer to gods that cause sin, pollution, and disaster, and belong to the nether world. In Italian, Maga is a feminine noun that means "sorceress". *Google search: meaning of MAGA in other languages***

In the first image, which is the reason for this post, MAGA is shown to mean: MAGA or Magus the name of the highest rank in the Church of SATAN. Translates to Witch, in Latin. In Portuguese it means magician, sorceress, or wizard. In Japanese it means wickedness, evil, calamity, or disaster. In Nigerian it means sucker, fraud victim, or easily fooled idiot. In Zulu it means lies. In Sudanese it means dragon. In Spanish it means magician. I couldn't find a reliable reference for these definitions, but the point is, people see only negatives when it comes to the name MAGA.

To be frank, MAGA have been displaying behaviors many have called ugly, racist, childish, hateful, deplorable, delusional, fearful, angry, and bitter. The list of negative associations with the name MAGA is lengthy. Has the POWER of the NAME of MAGA made the rose smell less sweet? Have the people LIVED into their chosen/given name by their higher being DONALD TRUMP? Remember, those who gives the name has the power over the named.

In religion, it is the gods that gives the names to what is created thus being in power over the created. Parents give names to what they create, their children, thus having power over their creation. People name their pets, thus having power/authority over them. When one joins the military, they are renamed soldier, sailor, marine, etc. The military renames enlistees and have power over them. Trump named his followers, MAGA. We can see the power he has over them. They follow his instructions to points of violence and believe what he says even though what he says can be proven as lies. MAGA has even voiced the belief Donald Trump has been sent by God, lifting him to god-like status or at least being favored by the gods.

Whether you believe a name can hold power or not, being aware of what a name or your particular name means can be enlightening. I happen to believe in the power of names and I'm lucky to have a name without negative connotations. To read more about the power of names on a personal level, read the link below from my blog. The using of selected WORDS to manifest a particular destiny or to diminish people has been employed throughout history. Sometimes, the SPELLING of words has meaning and gave rise to the idea of casting a SPELL and why people chose not to reveal their real name. Are you called by a nickname?

Most importantly, people identify with names and words. They want to live into such words, labels, and titles. Being associated with certain groups is enough for some. One sure way to be a part of a group or to belong to a group, is to adopt their behavior. Trump followers have adopted an identity for which they can be identified as a Trump follower. If you research (reputable sources) the word MAGA (Trump followers), most research will define them by their beliefs and actions, not by opinion.

The MAGA movement, is a political movement that emerged in the United States during the 2016 presidential campaign of Donald Trump. Its name is derived from Trump’s 2016 campaign slogan “Make America Great Again.” The MAGA movement is known for its particularly combative character, which exemplifies the extreme partisanship of contemporary American politics. In keeping with that stance, controversial rhetoric has flourished within the movement, including messages that critics see as homophobic, sexist, or racist or as inciting violence. MAGA movement | Meaning, Beliefs, Origins, Donald Trump, & Facts | Britannica. They admired Trump’s personal style, which was notoriously belligerent and confrontational. Trump’s habit of bullying his opponents with personal insults and name-calling, as well as his regular boasting, encouraged MAGA members to think of him as an ordinary person or “regular guy” rather than as a conventional politician.

Surveys of hundreds of fervent Trump voters, whom researchers refer to as Make American Great Again (MAGA) supporters, reveal strong beliefs that the election was stolen; that COVID-19 is a bioweapon from China; and that the riot was the work of antifa. The data, collected just before and after the Capitol riot, is believed to be the only information of its kind, shedding light on MAGA supporters’ opinions about race, gender, the pandemic and the 2020 election. “Right now, these people feel like they’re losing their country and their identity. They feel like they’re being displaced by communities of color, by feminists and by immigrants. These people are motivated by what they see as an existential threat to their way of life,” said Christopher Sebastian Parker, professor of political science at the UW and co-author of the research. New nationwide survey shows MAGA supporters’ beliefs about the pandemic, the election and the insurrection | UW News (washington.edu) 

The survey also found on race, significant majorities of respondents agreed with statements like “Black people should work their way up like other minorities” and “Black people would be as well off as white people if they tried.” Along the same lines, a majority disagreed with statements such as “Slavery/discrimination made working up difficult for Black people” and “Black people have gotten less than they deserve.” Similar themes emerged in the results regarding women and immigration. A majority of respondents agreed with statements such as “Women interpret innocent remarks as sexist,” “Feminists are seeking more power than men,” and “Immigration is changing our culture for the worse.”

Since 2016, those choosing to the name of MAGA have had an opportunity to show the public who they are and what they stand for. If, the public misunderstands them, there has been ample time for correction of the misunderstanding. MAGA knows, understands, and embraces the acronym which defines them and all that come with the NAME. It is their brand. It is their name that precedes them. It is how they identify.
