Introduction to Numerology

Numerology is perhaps the easiest of the occult arts to understand and use. All you

need is the birth date and the complete name of an individual to unlock all of the

secrets that the numbers hold.

There are eleven numbers used in constructing Numerology charts. These numbers are 1,

2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, and 22. Larger numbers that occur from adding the numbers

in the complete birth date Ior from the values assigned to each name, are reduced by

adding the digits together until the sum achieved is one of the core numbers. Merely

add the components of the larger number together (repeatedly, if necessary) until a

single digit (or the "master" numbers 11 or 22) results. Each of these number

represents different characteristics and expressions.

Master number are the only exception to rule of reducing to the single digit. The

master numbers 11 and 22 are intensified versions of the single digit number they

replace (2 and 4). These numbers suggest a potential for a high degree of learning

and/or achievement very often in a more stressful environment. In many individuals,

the master numbers operate at a much more tangible or practical level, becoming

essentially the same as the single digit parallel.

The first consideration of numerology is often the date of birth. This date,

expressed numerically, as mm/dd/yyyy, is used to determine what is called the

Lifepath Number and a variety of other factors in the numerology reading.

you will learn, are always one and the same. Here is a chart of the values assigned

to each of the letters in our alphabet:
