Yesterday i camped Arcturis for over 13hours. i woke up early and decided to check if arcturis spawned - and he was there.

Anyway, im looking for a name for him. I am looking for a name close to spirit, spiritual, or shamanstic.

I googled it and found this page.

For Arcturis, I'd say something like Fugara might sounds good.

Dagara is the name of a tribe that uses shamans as healers... I like it a lot, actually. :) *shrug* have a read through. :)

Actually, Arcturus means more like, Bear Watcher or Bear Guardian. So yea.
I named mine Polaris, which is bloody obvious. Northern Star, in Ursa Minor constellation. Quite straightforward.

How about Artemis?
Now a shamanistic/spiritual name, but Greek mythology. Artemis is the goddess of the hunt, wilderness, virginity and healing. I think it fits. Unless you want to keep your Arcturis a male. :/

When you put it this way... :) Sorry, astronomy geek here, guess it's not that straightforward for people who aren't into it as much as I am.
I meant no disrespect.
