| believed Pythagoras lived from somewhere between 569 BC to 475 BC. Pythagoras was a great philosopher and believed that everything could be explained through mathematical properties. He formed his own school, the “Semicircle of Pythagoras,” which lasted for centuries after his death. He formed a school on the Isle of Crotone (Croton) which sought the truth in the numbers. There were two classes of members for the school. The Mathematikoi were the truly devote who essentially lived ascribing to vows of poverty. Personally taught by Pythagoras they consisted of his inner circle and lived by very strict rules and beliefs. Less strict in their observances were the Akousmatics who could own property, eat meat, and only made a daily trip to commune with the Society rather than living on the grounds. Both men and women were members of the society at the Matematikoi and Akousmatics levels. With the following being the basic tenants of Pythagoras’ school it is easy to see why many ascribe the beginnings of Numerology to him. 1. That at its deepest level, reality is mathematical in nature, 2. That philosophy can be used for spiritual purification, 3. That the soul can rise to union with the divine, 4. That certain symbols have a mystical significance, and 5. That all members of the order should observe strict loyalty and secrecy. |

| Many ascribe the study of Numerology in its archetypical form to Pythagoras of Samos. (Yes, *that* Pythagoras…the one that drove you nuts in math class!) Although still argued by historians, it is |
However, one must look deeper into Pythagoras’ history to realize that many of his tenants had been developed and influenced by time he spent with Eastern Mediterranean cultures. Although we owe Pythagoras much in both philosophy and mathematics, we must look deeper into the past to find the roots of numerology. Some say that the astronomers of Babylon were the first to assign mystical powers to numbers. Others say the Chinese created magic with their abacas that was carried across the trade routes in ancient times. Whether from the Babylonian civilization, cultures resting in the cradle of civilization, eastern civilizations, or a combination of them all; it was Pythagoras who created a cohesive understanding in his school of numbers. Numerology can be used in a variety of ways. Like Runes, numbers are symbols. A representation of an abstract thought. The symbols have |
| meaning not only in their abstract representation, but also through the process of the equations that can be calculated using the symbols. Numerology shows up in many disciplines in various forms, crossing continents and ages while holding its basic truths. Some of the ways we use Numerology in readings is to do a Name designation wherein the letters in your name are assigned specific numbers, and then calculations are made with those numbers to get a specific single digit number for you. The same type of calculation done with your birth date can give another single digit number that looks at different aspects. Finally, numbers can actually be used in much the same way as Runes or Tarot. We may do a formal spread (where there is a specific meaning in regard to where the Number tile lays in a spread), or we may do a free-form. A “free-form” is |

| where we have the number tiles in a pouch and essentially work them with our hands while we talk with you. As specific questions or issues arise during the reading we will pull either one or numerous Number tiles from the bag depending on the situation. This also facilitates us being able to feel the power in the numbers directly without preconceived notions about the question or questioner. As a reading modality we normally tailor the use of the art of numerology to the question. Best used for questions regarding money, one’s relation to the wider universe, and learning one’s most internal truths, Numerology can provide answers for you. We have found over the years that people who use numbers a lot in their daily lives (accountants, bookkeepers, sawyers, engineers, architects) seem to get more from Numerology than those that hated math class. |
