Numerology
Hi everyone! Today’s Into the Paranormal post is about Numerology. First off, here’s the definition of what it is from Wikipedia:
“Numerology is any study of the purported mystical relationship between a count or measurement and life. It has many systems and traditions and beliefs. Numerology and numerological divination by systems such as isopsephy were popular among early mathematicians, such as Pythagoras, but are no longer considered part of mathematics and are regarded as pseudomathematics by modern scientists. Today, numerology is often associated with the paranormal, alongside astrology and similar divinatory arts.”
I have had a little experience with it, but not a whole lot. I decided to analyze my name and birthday for research for this blog post. What I found was pretty intriguing. Sure, in some ways, I guess I’m a little susceptible to this kind of this, but it’s fascinating when the report points out things within you that you know about but no one else could. But overall, I view it mostly as entertainment. Something to do for fun.
So, instead of blabber on about it, I’m going to share the numerology links and let you give me your thoughts on the subject!

I found my personal number through numerology years ago – it's surprising how many characteristics fit – but that's as far as I've ever taken it.
Years ago I worked with someone who had such strong beliefs in numerology that she had her name legally changed from Barbara to Barbra because it gave her a better number.
Man… That's pretty interesting about the person you worked with. I agree that I found it surprising how many characteristics fit. Thanks for the comment, CR!
