Personal interest in history , and personal history both influenced my choice of nickname, though knowledge of Latin and other languages helped, since I did not intend or wish to use the Latin variant. I also published poetry under this nickname, and have since written more, so have decided to retain it permanently, and employ it as the most frequently used I have. To those who don't know, ^Uyraell^ was the personal name of the DeathAngel, in legend. As large parts of my life have been near and in the Funeral Industry, it seemed apt. Finally, the DeathAngel is not actually the Grim Figure that western cultural values have come to reflect : in earlier times ^He^ was as much a Guide of Souls and Care-er of Journeyers, as ^He^ is now seen as dealing exclusively in death. Blessed Be, ^Uyraell^
