A Brief History of Numerology

Ancient Origins

The practice of modern numerology draws inspiration from a wide range of ancient cultures and traditions, including the teachings of Pythagoras and his disciples, as well as Babylonian, Hellenistic, Christian, Gnostic, Kabbalistic, Vedic, and Chinese beliefs. Additionally, it incorporates insights from the “Book of the Masters of the Secret House” from ancient Egypt. This amalgamation of philosophies and systems has allowed modern numerology to develop into a dynamic and effective tool for exploring the mysteries of the universe and understanding the more profound significance of numbers in our lives.

Pythagoras and Numerology

Pythagoras, an esteemed Greek mathematician, and philosopher, is widely acknowledged as the forefather of numerology, a discipline that delves into the significance of numbers in our world. He posited that everything in existence has a numerical identity and an intrinsic vibrational and energetic quality. A ground-breaking pioneer, Pythagoras, and his followers formulated an intricate numerology system around the esoteric properties attributed to numbers.

Numerology in Different Cultures

Numerology, a belief in unexplained connections between numbers and events, has been a part of various cultures for ages. While the Hebrew Kabbalah involves assigning numerical values to letters of the Hebrew alphabet, the Chinese “Circle of the Dead” develops numerology to detect the most auspicious dates for religious customs. Furthermore, Hinduism, Buddhism, and other Eastern religions have long utilized numerology as a cornerstone of spiritual philosophy, with a belief in its divine significance. The different numerology systems that have been created emphasize the importance of numerical sequences and their impact on life.

1. Individual; aggressor; self; leadership yang

3. Communication/interaction
4. Creation
5. Action; restlessness; life experience
6. Home/family; responsibility; artistic in nature
7. Thought/consciousness; spirit
8. Power/sacrifice
9. Highest level of changes

Master Numbers

In numerology, specific numbers are considered “Master Numbers” due to their heightened spiritual and intuitive significance. The most common master numbers are 11, 22, and 33. These numbers are believed to possess a higher vibrational frequency and potential for spiritual growth.

Double-Digit Numbers

Some numerologists also analyze double-digit numbers, ranging from 10 to 99. These numbers are often seen as a combination of the energies of the single-digit numbers they contain. For example, the number 23 would carry the energies of both the numbers 2 and 3.

Assigning Numerical Values to Letters

Western Numerology

Systems Many numerology systems assign a numerical value to the letters of an alphabet. The most common system assigns numbers to letters as follows:

1 = a, j, s, 2 = b, k, t, 3 = c, l, u, 4 = d, m, v, 5 = e, n, w, 6 = f, o, x, 7 = g, p, y, 8 = h, q, z, 9 = i, r,

These numbers are then summed to calculate the numerical value of a word or name. For example, the name “John” would be calculated as 1 (J) + 6 (O) + 8 (H) + 5 (N) = 20, which further reduces to 2 (2+0).
