What is Numerology?

Welcome to the numerology. I am your host, Noveli Wilder. I'm a professional numerologist and writer. And in this podcast, we're just gonna nerd out. That means we're going to talk names, we're going to talk numbers, numerology, astrology, the connections between the different esoteric fields. We'll do case studies, we'll deep dive into repeating numbers. If you have numbers that are following you around showing up everywhere, we'll talk about those.

But as this is our very first episode, this is numerology 101. We're gonna talk about what is numerology, what even is this thing? The origins of the different schools of thought within numerology, different types. of calculations and ideas and some important questions to ask yourself when exploring. So numerology is the spiritual and practical study of the numbers in your birthday, the letters in your name, and the vibration and power of which they are the expression of in life.

So as a numerologist, I see the numbers in your birthday as an expression of what your soul wants to explore in the future. There are ways to take out the spiritual element of numerology and simply do the calculations and predict the future and look into the past. But I feel like a spiritual element, as with so many other tools, Is the most important one, the one that makes the most So when we look at the origins of numerology.

It has been called different things in different cultures, in different languages. When we look at religion and the mystical and like uh mystery schools, people who have explored uh numerology and other esoteric fields without calling it religion, without organizing it. they all have some kind of

part of the school or part of the thought system that has to do with numerology, numbers, names and letters. In the Kabbalah, the there's a study called gimantria, and that is the practice of assigning numbers to the Hebrew letters. the alphabet letters and they use it to decipher the Bible. So deep in many religions are this study of the numbers and I am a Chaldean numerologist and that means that I take the system and use the system that we can trace back to the Chaldean.

Now the Chaldeans they briefly ruled Babylon and they can be traced back to a thousand BCE and that would be three thousand and nineteen years. today. If you like me are a little confused about BC and BCE, that's before Christ. The Chaldeans are the creators or the inventors of the numerology I use and the most complex version of numerology that we have and can trace back today.

I'm pretty sure the Chaldeans were not the first ones to come up with this. I'm pretty sure that all we know today are based on even older texts and oral traditions of passing on the knowledge. But yes, the Chaldean system or the original system or the classic system, ancient system it's also called, or the old system.

But the systems and the kind of numerology that most people in the West know about is Pythagorean. So you probably know Pythagoras from your math book in high school. He uh he knew a lot about triangles, or he has been attributed to know a lot about triangles, but in his mystery school he also studied what he liked to call the math of the soul. So he created his own system for which letters belonged to which numbers.

or which numbers in your birthday were the important ones, which calculations told you something about what you were supposed to do with your life and so on. But the big difference between the Chaldean system and the system attributed to Pythagoras is how we look at the number. So Pythagoras, or someone around him, said, Well A is the first letter in the alphabet, so that must mean that it also should be attributed and connected to the first number in a row of numbers. So A must equal one.

The Chaldean system looks very differently at how numbers and letters are connected. For one, we don't have vowels in the Chaldean alphabet. Of course, vowels are something we need to speak and came up with later when we needed to deal with language in a more So one thing that the Pythagorean system does is divide letters into vowels and consonant and also attribute different qualities to the vowels in your name.

and the consonants. But this is going like really into nerd territory. So let's just go back a few steps and look at different forms of numerology. Because numerology is also found in the e. Chaldean numerology and Vedic or Indian numerology are very, very Bye. The Chaldeans connected the numbers and letters to the gods and goddesses of their known spiritual world.

Indian philosophy and the Vedas, of course, connect their form of numerology to the gods and goddesses and spiritual entities of their spiritual world. But when you start combining and looking at the systems you see that they are almost identical.

Now, when we look at Chinese numerology, then it becomes a bit more tricky because in China numerology has become almost a form of you will see that there will be no 13th floor because the word for four, how four sounds in the Chinese language, also sounds like the word And that has some s really interesting nerd out qualities too that we could go into because four is the number of revolution in child geonrology and change, transformation.

But in China, they are very specific about loving their eights. The number eight is uh something they celebrate. If you have a phone number with a lot of eights, you can sell it for a lot of money to a Chinese. Yeah, they celebrate different kinds of numbers and are afraid and superstitious of other people.

So the form of numerology we find in China is so ingrained in the culture that it no longer has a complete system. A lot of the stuff that we find in China and of thinking of numbers and names are not applicable to the spiritual tool.

Now that you know a little bit about the basis of numerology and the schools of thought within it, I will move on to some of the questions that I think you need to ask yourself or any numerologist that you want to engage. Because when we work with the spiritual fields, when we are interested in learning more about ourselves, the people around us, what numbers to look out for, what complements us. what kind of apartment number to look for, what kind of house number to look for.

What kind of compatibility with other people? I know that people love figuring out w with their sun sign or zodiac sign, oh, so who am I compatible with or why are all my friends Geminis or something like that. It's the same with numerology. These two fields really complement each other so well. So it can be really helpful to know your numbers. And that's what we're going to talk about in the next. But a few questions to ask yourself.

before moving forth with me or anyone else is do I feel safe? Because numerology as any spiritual field and any kind of practitioner. You should trust this person. You should feel safe around them. You should wanna listen to them. It's okay if they trigger you and you go like, ha, I don't know, like this seems too good to be true.

Whoa, can this really be so life-changing? That's a good kind of trigger because it means that you're questioning not just this person, but the world in general, which is a great place to be if you want to transform anything in your life. If we're not asking questions, then we won't get answers. Um so yes, for sure, n like the no like and trust factor.

anyone you want to work with, uh, or buy anything from or follow needs to be And that also means that whatever material they put out should not be fear induced. That is a sales technique. It's fleecey. I don't like it. I don't think you like it either. Um if you get a lot of fear surrounding the material you consume from any Stay clear of them. You don't need that in your life. No one does. There is no And also a big question is to ask how well you know your life.

and I don't mean just your ego, your preferences, if you like uh spicy food or don't like olives or Like to sleep with your socks on. I mean really know yourself. Know something about what your true strength. Uh what's the thing that makes you awesome? Not just in other people's eyes, but what are you the expression of in the world? What are you here to do? And that can take different forms, but it must definitely have a very s significant and specific look and feel. Might even have a smell.

A sense of touch. How does it feel to be in the zone for you? What are you hearing? Because Numerology is like any other spiritual map, whether you find a poem reader, a medium, an astrologer, a numerologist. or any kind of personality assessment tool, we should all basically be saying the same thing because we are reading for the same blueprint.

I might use different terms than a palm reader or uh, you know, a strength assessment coach or something. But I should be looking at my version of the same We will all be pointing out the same strengths and underlining the same weaknesses, and you really should feel confirmation that we can see you and see everything. So these are the questions you should ask yourself and your numerologist in case you want to work with them or consume their material. That's the end of this very first episode.
