Numerology
What's in a Name?
Numerology, the art of finding out about yourself whether it be your personality or divining a magickal name
Divining Your Magickal Name
To use numerology to determine your magickal name use your date of birth to find it. Each letter of the alphabet has a value as seen in the grid below
So for instance, if your if your date of birth is 11th Feb 69 you could choose A=1 S=1 T=2 O=6 R=9 hence 11/2/69 giving you the name Astor. Often the name that goes with it such as Dragonwoman will come from what you are studying in Magick.. At the time, I was studying dragon magick and it seemed the right name for me.
Let's try another date: 4th December 58 = 4,1,2,5,8
4=d,m,v
1= a,j,s
2= b,k,t
5= e,n,w
8= h,q,z
So you could have Vateq, Dabeh, Matez and so on.
If you wanted to you could also include the century ie 1969, 1958 and so on
You see the principle?
Personality
Numerology also looks at personality by adding up the numerical value of your name only in this case the numbers 11 and 22 have meanings of their own rather than split down into 2 or 4
First you need to find out your number. Take your full name and use this key to get a list of numbers (1 number for each letter in your name).
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
A B C D E F G H I
J K L M N O P Q R
S T U V W X Y Z
Add the numbers together and then and the answer again to give a single digit. e.g
25 = 2+5 = 7.
