I have been recently learning the Dao De Jing by LaoTzu. Ziran, is arguably the most important concept / teaching in the Dao De Jing. It can be translated simply or deeply. I understand it as being-in-harmony. The words chosen here also have deep meaning for me. Literally, the classical chinese characters: 自然 "Ziran" means "by the nose". And that's what I try to do in my life. Follow my nose where ever it leads me, naturally.

It's old Germanic for "winter". A low level act of act of aggression towards the idea that "hotness" is friendly, blonde and perma-tanned.

Omni = everything/all

Centrik = centered (the k is to distinguish it from the physical/geometrical concept, like the difference between magic and magik for some).

Xiān (仙) means Immortal (celestial being)
Dān (丹) means Cinnabar, red and medicine (pill or powder)
Shù (术) means art, technique.
Xian dan (仙丹) means elixir, elixir of life and magic pill.

"Medieval Slavic form of Athanasius -> From the Greek name Ἀθανάσιος (Athanasios) meaning "immortal", from Greek ἀ (a), a negative prefix, combined with θάνατος (thanatos) meaning "death". Saint Athanasius was a 4th-century bishop of Alexandria who strongly opposed Arianism."

When you add the end -a to a Slavic name, you make it feminine. Slav ofc because I am a Slav and that way I connect myself with Slavic roots more and I gain strength. I am very much traditional so I wanted go this way and "medieval Slavic", it catches my attention a lot. Even when I look at meaning of the 1st part of name "immortal" + "death" it is something what in some way is connected with me.

Well I sure would hate to seem pompous lol but here goes...

As a name, especially in symbolic, esoteric, or philosophical contexts, "Illuminated" refers not merely to light, but to having attained inner clarity or understanding—a state beyond ignorance, confusion, or illusion.

In this usage, "Illuminated" typically implies:

One who has seen through deception—not just intellectually, but existentially.

A person who has transcended ego and belief to perceive reality as it is.

A bearer of truth, often silent, because illumination dissolves the need for persuasion.

Someone beyond duality, where light does not mean the opposite of dark, but the absence of ignorance.

Historically, the term has been used by mystical or occult orders (e.g., the Illuminati) to signify those initiated into hidden knowledge—but the deeper, nondual meaning points to selfless awareness unclouded by conditioning.

I picked this name after my first homebred Quarab colt, Sonny's Summerhawk. He was conceived on the Summer solstice, out of Sonny's Lil Valentine, by Hawkeye, CC. That is now starting to be a very long time ago. haha
