Numerological Divination

In numerology, a student of the field will use the name, birthdate and birthtime of an individual to analyze and define something of the personality and characteristics of that person. Specific numbers are also assigned to the letters of the alphabet. One such system (for the English alphabet) is represented here:

Using this system, names of people, places and things can be assigned numerical values, thus giving them meaning in a numerologic context. The basic premise of numerology is that every object, place or being in the universe has a characteristic vibration. Classic numerology reduces all numbers related to an item down to a single digit, 0-9 or 1-9, plus the "master numbers" 11 and 22. The number 324, for instance, would be reduced by adding 3+2+4 to arrive at 9. 12 and 16, appearing together in a date, would resolve to 10, hence 1, no matter in which order the elements are added.

One theory put forward by some numerologists is that persons who name things are subtly affected by universal vibrations to assign appropriate names which harmonize with the vibrations of the thing named.

Pythagoras and other philosophers of the time believed that because mathematical concepts were more "practical" (easier to regulate and classify) than physical ones, they had greater actuality. This is an idea in harmony with philosophical pragmatism and a choice for permanent concepts over changeable physicality.

St. Augustine of Hippo in A.D. 354 - 430 wrote " Numbers are the Universal language offered by the deity to humans as confirmation of the truth." Similar to Pythagoras, he too believed that everything had numerical relationships and it was up to the mind to seek and investigate the secrets of these relationships or have them revealed by divine grace.
