Numbers surround people everywhere, therefore it is believed that with their help the forces of the universe communicate with humanity. In various occult teachings, the symbolism of numbers is given great importance. One of the applied areas of this is divination and prediction of the future. We will talk about this in the article.
Pythagorean tradition
One of the first who paid close attention to the magical meaning of numbers was the ancient Greek philosopher and scientist Pythagoras. He believed that numbers are the basis, the principle of being, and therefore the one who knows their meaning also knows the secrets of nature and his own soul. The meanings that Pythagoras gave to the number series became the basis for what we call "magic of numbers." Fortune telling is only one possibility of using the huge occult potential of numbers. In addition, the numbers allow you to carry out various influences, as well as describe the internal qualities and nature of any phenomenon, situation, object or person.
Pythagorean meaning of numbers
To understand what fortunetelling, numerology, magic of numbers and the like are in line with the Pythagorean tradition, you need to give the basic values of each of the numbers from one to ten.
1 is the monad, the source of everything. 2 - the opposite and the key to equilibrium. In 3, creation is enclosed, and in 4, foundation, reason, stability, and order. 5 is the dynamics. 6 - logic and love. In 7 lies luck, health and spirituality. 8 - embodiment of the result, total. 9 - comprehension, wisdom, experience, and 10 - return to the source, to 1.
In order, for example, to calculate your number, it is proposed to add all the numbers of the date of birth until you get an unambiguous result. It will be the number that describes the basis of your being. They do the same with all things and phenomena in the world.
Numbers and Feng Shui
The magic of numbers, fortune telling, and other manipulations with numbers is also known in the Chinese Feng Shui system. In general, within the framework of this tradition, the first nine numbers are considered as the main ones. They are interpreted as follows: 1 - individuality. 2 - dualism of yin and yang. 3 - dynamics and development. 4 - peace. 5 - variability. 6 - harmony. 7 - mysticism. 8 - abundance. 9 - completion.
Numbers and Tarot
Numbers play a significant role in what is known today as tarot divination. The magic of numbers is embodied in this tradition, first of all, in the symbolism of minor arcana from ace to tens. In the most ancient decks, these cards were drawn simply and schematically, placing the desired number of objects, representing suits - wands, cups, pentacles and swords. Subsequently, based on the interpretations given to them, they began to draw plots illustrating these arcana. However, I must say that here the author of each deck shows a significant degree of individuality, expressing their own views. Therefore, there is no general meaning for minor arcana.
Most often, however, Pythagorean or close interpretations are used in decks. The main area in which tarot cards are used today is divination. The magic of numbers, expressed through various manipulations with lasso, also takes place. For fortune telling on cards, one of the layouts is required, of which there are a huge number. Then the drawn cards are interpreted on the basis of their own values, dropped out combinations and symbolic positions in the layout.
Fortune telling
The sphere of personal relationships is one of the main in which the magic of numbers is used. Fortune-telling for love was, probably, always, and there are a great many of them. From numerological, one can propose such a technique as “a hundred”. Its action algorithm is as follows:
- A specific person is guessed, and then rows of numbers from 1 to 100 are written on a piece of paper. Zeros are omitted. The first line can consist of any number of digits. And all the rest should be equal to the first. When all the numbers are written, at the end it is necessary to attribute the date when the fortune-telling is carried out.
- Now it is required to cross out successively all the numbers standing side by side, which in total give the top ten (3 and 7, 4 and 6 and so on) or are the same (1 and 1, 3 and 3).
- When the numbers are crossed out, the remaining ones will need to be rewritten in the same order and again crossed out. This must be done until there is no number left that cannot be crossed out. It hides the answer to the question.
Although this is not entirely magic of numbers, fortune telling with the help of “hundreds” is nevertheless popular, especially among girls. Their results are calculated according to the scheme proposed below.
- 1 - loves.
- 2 - is jealous.
- 3, 12, 21 - indifferent.
- 4, 13 - feels sympathy.
- 5, 14, 23 - pays attention.
- 6, 15, 24 - does not experience anything.
- 7, 16, 25 - communication awaits you.
- 8, 17, 26 - seeks relationships.
- 9, 18, 27 - a novel ahead.
Simple fortune telling by numbers
In general, the magic of numbers, fortune telling, and the like, are quite complex matters that require extensive study and hone skills. There is, however, a simple fortune-telling method that you can do on your own at home without any preparation. True, he gives the results very vague and generalized.
The bottom line is that ten cards are made from cardboard, which are sequentially numbered from 1 to 10. Then they are folded into a bag or shuffled like regular cards. During fortune telling, you need to ask a question, for example, about what expects in the next two weeks at work, and then pull out one of the cards at random. She is the answer to your question. It can be interpreted using the proposed Pythagorean scheme or intuitively. Experience over time will teach you to determine the more precise meaning of each number.
