Numerology 101: The Secret Language of Numbers
Have you ever noticed seeing the same numbers repeatedly? Like 11:11 on the clock, or patterns in phone numbers and addresses? This isn't just coincidence. In the ancient metaphysical science of Numerology, numbers are not just symbols for quantity—they are carriers of vibration and meaning.
What is Numerology?
Numerology is the study of the mystical relationship between numbers and physical objects or living things. It is based on the idea that the universe is a system, and once broken down, we are left with the basic elements: numbers.
By understanding that everything in the world is dependent on, and can equate to numbers, a numerologist can take multiple elements of a person and break them down into meaningful numbers through various methods.
