@Scottintexas thank you bringing me in.
I take the boat renaming process very seriously. We actually made our 2017 trip under the original boat name even if we knew that the future name will be either Artemis or Medusa.
The purging process is very important too. I went as far as selling a 2 month old fixed VHF because the MMSI # was associated with the old name.
Both my boat and jet ski are named very strategically to appease Poseidon.
My boat's is named :
HMS Artemis 553
HMS: commonly translated as His/Her Majesty Ship Note that Poseidon was often referred too as Majestic
Artemis: She is the Goddess of hunting and it is well documented that her bow and arrow was made by Cyclops. Note that Cyclops worked for Poseidon. Recall Odysseus blinding one the cyclopes and Poseidon being pissed at him for life.
553: During the naming process my 4 year old son was present. The Gods are fond of innocence and often communicate to us through kids. So completely out of the blue, my son said " Daddy put
553 on the boat". I had no idea, it looks and sounds stupid, but I did anyway. One day I was bored and I researched the meaning of the number "553". After reading the following, I felt comfortable that Poseidon had approved the name changing.
Angel Number 553 is a powerful sign of important life changes. These changes have come about due to your positive attitude and intentions to better your life. Your prayers and positive affirmations have manifested your desired changes, and ‘better’ is now on its way.
Angel Number 553 is a message that major life changes are around you and you may be feeling apprehensive or anxious about what lays ahead of you. Know that these changes are happening to advance you along your life path and to help you fulfill your soul mission. You are encouraged to take full advantage of the changes and the new opportunities that will present in your life.
Angel Number 553 is a message that the angels and Ascended Masters are overseeing the life changes you are currently experiencing and are ensuring that all goes to Divine plan.
My jet ski is named :
CSN Orion
CSN: if you don't know what CSN stands for..... then you should move to NY or CA. It is a historical fact that we are not allowed to talk or displayed in this county anymore. As far as I know it is the only one cruising under its own power. If I find out of another one, I will rename it to
CSS. But for now it will remain
CSN.
Orion: Orion was the boyfriend of Artemis and was said that he could walk on water. It so happens that he is believed to be the son of Poseidon.
My research and experience tell me that it is so much the ritual and the order that it happens as much as the honest respect for the deity in charge.
BTW: Neptune is that the Romans called Poseidon, so it is kind of nice to refer to him with his original name, but I am sure he wont take offence as long as the motivation is pure.
PS. I like your name choice. Very fitting for the occasion.
It has been the longest ongoing project on the boat.
Just for size ref. Compass is 9" dia. Lettering is 6" h x 32"l.
