Magical numerology. Ancient ideas about numbers
For a long time, people have been looking for a mystical connection between numbers and what happens to humans and nature.
They believed in magic, magic and that everything around is subject to some kind of force, which can be learned about with the help of numbers. This belief formed the basis of the most ancient system of knowledge, from which numerology was then formed.
The founder of numerology as an independent science is considered to be Pythagoras, a mathematician and philosopher who lived in Ancient Greece in the 4th century BC. His works combined mathematical knowledge with ancient philosophical knowledge about the world around us and man’s place in it.
The essence of numerology
In numerology, each number is endowed with a sacred meaning, a specific meaning. The magic of numbers is calculated according to a general scheme: all the digits of any number are mathematically added until a single-digit value between 0 and 9 is formed.
The method belongs to the Pythagoreans. It was the followers of the ancient Greek mathematician who came up with the idea of reducing complex numbers by ordinary addition of their constituent digits. The single-digit number obtained as a result of calculations, according to numerology, carries magic and contains the sacred meaning of all human life, and is even capable of revealing the secrets of the universe.
You can determine a person’s fate not only by the numbers of the date of birth, but also by using letters. Each letter of the alphabet has its own number, which is used in calculations.
It is enough to simply write down the numbers of the letters of the first and last name, add the resulting numbers and reduce them to a single-digit value in order to find out about all future and past events, a person’s strengths and weaknesses, predict twists of fate or warn about danger. All this is provided by the mystical magic of numbers.
Number predictions
Remember how you chose a SIM card for your phone or applied for a card at the bank. Surely, in the end you chose the one whose number you liked more. In fact, even when choosing the simplest things, we choose not things, but our future.
This is the magic of numbers, which Pythagoras discovered to humanity many centuries ago and which then, having undergone many changes, came to us in today’s simple and understandable form. Numerology was a constant companion of Freemasons, Kabbalists, Anthroposophists and other secret societies. The adherents of each of them put their own meaning into the interweaving of numbers, but they all relied on the teachings of Pythagoras.
What's the benefit?
The meanings of birth date numbers help to learn more about a person, determine his talents and inclinations, predict the future, and warn of difficulties or dangers. Fate numerology gives us the opportunity to understand why we were born and what the main goal of our life is.
Whether it's magic or science, numerology has a powerful influence on a person's entire life. Author: Valentina Levadnaya
Do you want to know your destiny, your purpose in life, how successful your romance will be? Numerology will help determine your destiny, compatibility with your partner, and tell you how to become successful and happy.
Every person is concerned with the question of why he lives, why he came into this world, what is the purpose of his life. Numerology will help you figure this out. Our name and date of birth contain a special magic that does not leave us throughout our entire life journey. Having learned the secret of numbers, you can understand your present, find out your future, and assess your compatibility with your partner. Numbers will help you recognize your strengths and weaknesses and use them to your advantage.
One of the important numbers in a person’s life is the date of his birth. In numerology, it allows you to calculate the life path code (birthday code), which sets the direction of a person’s life. Knowing it, you can understand your purpose, the main purpose of existence, influence your destiny and relationships with the outside world.
The life path number is calculated using natural addition. To find it, you need to add the day, month and year of birth to get a prime number.
Let's calculate the code of your life path:
3+0+0+6+1+9+8+1 = 28
2+8 = 10
1+0 = 1
Your life path number is one.
If you add 22 or 11, you need to pay special attention to them. These numbers are sacred and can have a serious impact on the life of the person himself, and sometimes the whole world. Such people are unusually gifted, live for others and seem to emit a special light. Their life mission is unique and often difficult. True, sacred numbers only affect some people with such a life code. More often, the existence code in such cases is 4 (2+2=4) or 2(1+1=2). But the influence of the sacred number in such people cannot be ruled out. Because its effects often appear in adulthood.
His name also influences a person’s life. Numerology allows you to find out your name code, which will reveal your strengths and weaknesses, natural inclinations and abilities.
In order to find out the number of a name, its constituent letters are converted into numbers. According to numerology, each letter corresponds to a specific number:
“A”, “I”, “C”, “b” - “1”.
“B”, “Y”, “T”, “Y” - “2”.
“B”, “K”, “U”, “b” - “3”.
“G”, “L”, “F”, “E” - “4”.
“D”, “M”, “X”, “Y” - “5”.
“E”, “N”, “C”, “I” - “6”.
“Yo”, “O”, “H” - “7”.
“F”, “P”, “W” - “8”.
“З”, “Р”, “Ш” - “9”.
The resulting numbers of the name must be added together until a simple number remains.
Let's calculate the number of your name:
For example, your name is Alice.
A+L+I+C+A = 1+4+1+1+1=8
The number of the name is 8.
It’s good when the name number complements the life code or adapts to it. It is bad when the number of the name conflicts with the number of fate.
Each of us has two names: full and diminutive. It is important to know that it is the first that determines our destiny, independence and development. Numerologists believe that a diminutive name brings chaos into our lives and prevents us from achieving our goals. Using your full name allows you to control your destiny. Changing our name changes our future.
Let's look at the simplified meanings of the numbers:
1 – desire for dominance, ambition.
2 – balance achieved by the correct use of positive and negative qualities.
3 – talent and frivolity, ability to adapt.
4 – steadfastness, stability.
5 – unpredictability, risk. Achieving happiness through experience.
6 – reliability.
7 – mysticism, penchant for esotericism.
8 – success, prosperity.
9 – impressionability, compassion, striving for perfection.
The numbers will also help you find out how the relationship between lovers will develop. Compatibility by date of birth will help with this. It happens that relationships between astrologically compatible people do not work out. This happens due to the discrepancy between the vibrations of the life path numbers. To determine compatibility, you need to find out the life path numbers of your partners and find out how they fit together.
Harmonious relationships will develop between:
1 and 2, 1 and 3, 1 and 6, 2 and 3, 2 and 4, 2 and 6, 2 and 8, 3 and 5, 3 and 6, 3 and 9, 4 and 7, 5 and 5, 5 and 7, 6 and 6, 6 and 9, 7 and 9, 8 and 8.
More friendship than love will arise between:
1 and 7, 2 and 7, 2 and 9, 3 and 3, 4 and 6, 7 and 7.
Business relationships will work well between:
1 and 8, 1 and 4, 3 and 4, 3 and 7, 3 and 8, 7 and 8, 8 and 9
The union is difficult, but the relationship can be successful if the partners work on themselves, between:
1 and 1, 1 and 5, 1 and 9, 2 and 2, 2 and 5, 4 and 4, 4 and 5, 4 and 8, 4 and 9, 5 and 6, 5 and 8, 5 and 9, 6 and 7, 6 and 8.
When checking how closely the vibrations of your numbers match, you need to know that 100% compatibility does not exist. But knowing the pros and cons of your relationship with your lover will help make it stable and long-lasting.
Numbers accompany us throughout our lives. Guided by the knowledge they give us, it becomes easier to understand ourselves and others, manage our lives, and achieve our goals. Numerology allows us to find our place in this difficult world and find harmony with ourselves. The beauty of this science is that even those who are very far from mathematics can use the magic of numbers.
Among the mysteries, a special place is occupied by the mysteries of numbers, their origin and influence on people. We encounter numbers at every step; they accompany us from birth to our last days. We cannot imagine our life without them. What role do they play in our destiny?
Superstitions associated with numbers are perhaps one of the most enduring and widespread. A person who does not believe in any omens will still knock on the table three times, “so as not to jinx it,” or spit over his shoulder three times. Many people have “their”, that is, favorite number, and they almost seriously believe that it brings them luck. Our current superstitions are echoes of ancient ideas about the mystical power of numbers. In tribes where counting was limited to two or three, everything that was associated with counting objects exceeding two or three was equivalent to the concept of “many” or “darkness.” That which could not be counted was, as it were, beyond the limits of reason, and was mysterious, endowed with supernatural properties, and was considered sacred. A special science of numbers was even invented - numerology. Numerology has its roots in ancient times - primitive tribes used numbers. Consciously or unconsciously, people obey her: an odd number of flowers in a bouquet, a service for six or twelve people, repeat three times. Number magic is reflected in superstitions: in many countries there are no planes with tail number 13, there is no floor with the number “13”, there is no 13th room in hotels, etc.
Numerology was part of the secret knowledge of the most educated and enlightened elite of ancient states: Egyptian priests, Assyrian magicians, Indian Brahmins. The priests of ancient Memphis argued: “The science of numbers and the art of will are the two keys of magic, they open all the doors of the universe.” Numbers were especially revered in Ancient Greece.
Pythagoras' positions
The main provisions of the current version of Western numerology were developed in the 6th century BC. e. the ancient Greek philosopher and mathematician Pythagoras, who combined the mathematical systems of the Arabs, Druids, Phoenicians and Egyptians with the sciences of human nature. Pythagoras was born around 580 BC. e., traveled a lot in Egypt, Chaldea and other countries and, upon returning, founded a special philosophical society in southern Italy. In this society, or Pythagorean school, the sciences were studied, especially arithmetic, geometry and astronomy, and important discoveries were made.
“Numbers rule the world,” said Pythagoras. The Pythagoreans believed in the mystical life of numbers and believed that behind every object there was always a certain number. Numbers, like spirits, bring with them good and evil, happiness and unhappiness to people. You just need to know which of them are good and which are evil. Pythagoras, expounding this mysterious science to his students, said that the extent to which a person is familiar with the magical properties of numbers, the extent to which he knows how to use them, the extent to which he has control over his destiny. The Pythagoreans placed one above others. The whole world supposedly came from her, she is the beginning of all things, the universe, the gods themselves. The deuce brings with it love, marriage, and at the same time it is a symbol of the impermanent. Perfection was identified with three. It seemed extraordinary because it was the sum of the previous numbers. The number six was considered amazing, since it was obtained as a result of adding or multiplying all numbers that are divisible by 6. Six is divisible by 1, 2, 3, and if you add or multiply these numbers, you get 6 again. Neither one different number.
Pythagorean theory
Pythagoras, his students and followers reduced all numbers to numbers from 1 to 9 inclusive, since they are the initial numbers from which all others can be obtained (this in itself is no longer credible, since in the binary number system, for example, such There is only one digit; in hexadecimal, on the contrary, it is fifteen). Various systems have been developed to reduce large numbers into elementary ones. The simplest and most popular method of obtaining these digits from numbers is to add all the digits of that number, then, if 10 or more are formed, add these digits as well. This process is continued until the elementary number from 1 to 9 is obtained (in some versions of numerological calculations, the two-digit numbers 11 and 22, also called the dominant ones, are not reduced to single digits). Any numbers can be subjected to such “analysis”: date of birth, telephone number, apartment number, and so on.
Numerological analysis of words
Numerological analysis of words, for example, a name, is also possible. The fact that a name distinguishes a person from other people serves as a basis for believing that it contains the individuality of a person. If a name is analyzed according to traditional rules, it will reveal character and destiny. To do this, tables are compiled where each letter of the name and birthday corresponds to a certain number. The sum obtained by adding these numbers is converted into a single-digit number from 1 to 9, which is considered the essence of the name. That is, certain character traits “correspond” to it and the fate of a person is determined by them.
Of course, neither horoscopes, nor the secrets of one’s birthday and name, nor the ill-fated numbers three, seven and others can influence the fate, character and activity of a person who believes in his abilities. But these and similar factors create additional emotions in a superstitious person, which in one case add energy and strength to him, give him greater confidence in achieving the goal obtained, bring some joy, but in another - suppress the will, cause a feeling of fear, apprehension, uncertainty and the futility of struggling with life's adversities.
Examples of numerological descriptions of numbers
0 - nothing
1 - unit - basis of account
2 - bilateral symmetry of organisms, dichotomy of many nomenclatures
3 - three-dimensionality of the material world, 3 points of support for stable balance, three-component theory of color vision
4 - 4 elements of the Ancient World (Mediterranean, Greece), 4 temperaments, 4 tastes
5 - closely related to the 5 fingers on the hand - the eastern pentatonic scale, as well as in the civilizations of the Ancient East - 5 tastes, 5 colors, 5 elements; pentagram
6 - six faces of a honeycomb, six-petaled flowers, a hexagram of two triangles
7 - 7 metals of antiquity, 7 "planets" of antiquity (observable with the naked eye, including the Sun and Moon), 7 notes, 7 colors of Newton's rainbow
8 — infinity sign (∞), rotated 90°
10 - base decimal number system
11 - in numerology - a symmetrical and individual two
12 - dozen - the first number with many divisors (2,3,4,6), 12 months of the year, 12 signs of the Zodiac, 12 hours on the dial, 12 parts of Solomon's temple, 12 * 5: the basis of the 60-digit number system
13 - devil's dozen - close to a dozen, but not completely divisible
21 — Point (game)
Number meanings
In fairy tales and myths of many peoples, the numbers 3, 7, and 12 are widely used.
Number three
The superstitions that arose around the number three date back to a time when our ancestors could not count beyond three. In many religions this number is considered sacred.
In the ancient world, we are faced with three faces or three hypostases of female mythological characters (three graces, mountains, gorgons, erinyes). In Buddhism, the understanding of knowledge is perceived as trikaya (“threeness”). In addition, there is the symbol of the three jewels (tritarna) and the three signs of Buddhism - trilakshna.
On this basis, in the Christian religion, the idea of the Holy Trinity is built - one God, appearing in three persons (hypostases): God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit, and almost all church rites and rituals are performed: the three-fingered folding of the fingers of the right hands with the sign of the cross, threefold immersion during the sacrament of baptism, threefold kissing at meetings and partings. On the third day after death, the soul leaves the body. The number three is a symbol of three Christian virtues: faith, hope and love. To protect the deceased from evil spirits, three candles are lit at his head.
There are many similar examples in other religious teachings. And not only in them. The number three is one of the most popular in folklore. Remember: a man has three sons or a king has three daughters, three tasks of fairy-tale heroes, three heads for a serpent, three heroes go to distant lands to a distant kingdom.
People say: “God loves the Trinity,” “Without the Trinity, a house cannot be built,” “The Trinity of fingers makes a cross.” And “damned” is a person who is cursed by all earthly and heavenly powers. A good worker works for three, a mighty tree has three girths, you can get lost in three pines, and you can lie about three boxes; misfortune or illness can bend into three deaths, but from fear threefold in the eyes.
The magic of the number seven
The number seven has been endowed with magical properties since ancient times. Why? But because the ancients saw in it a reflection of many phenomena of the world. In Ancient Babylon, people observed seven moving planets in the sky that supposedly revolved around the Earth: the Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus and Saturn. The Babylonians deified them and believed that the seven gods who settled on the planets controlled the destinies of people and nations. The origin of the seven-day week of the lunar month is apparently connected with the number of these celestial bodies. Since the Moon is visible in the sky for 28 days, this period was divided into four phases of seven days. For Arabs, Assyrians, and Jews, this number was an oath. “As strong as seven” is the French oath. The number seven appears frequently in the Bible (seven days of creation, seven sacraments, seven deadly sins). For a long time, only seven metals were recognized in alchemy. There were seven wonders of the world known on earth.
This figure occupies a large place in the mythology of the Ancient world. Atlas, who supported the firmament with his shoulders, had seven daughters - the Pleiades, whom Zeus turned into constellations; Odysseus was held captive by the nymph Calypso for 7 years. The underground river Styx flows seven times around hell, which in turn is divided into seven regions. The Babylonians have a kingdom surrounded by seven walls. According to Islam, there are seven heavens above us, and everyone pleasing to God goes to the seventh heaven of bliss, and the earth rests on seven oxen. The Hindus began the custom of giving seven elephants for good luck. Lent lasts seven weeks for Christians. The Bible talks about seven lamps of fire, seven bowls of God's wrath, seven angels, seven seals, seven years of plenty and seven years of famine. Setting sail during the global flood, Noah took into his ark seven pairs of clean and two pairs of unclean animals... In the Middle Ages, playing cards had a “seven-devil” that beat all other cards. The saying “the wicked witch seven” meant a grumpy spouse.
The “septenary” nature of the world was manifested, as they thought, in seven ages of human life: infancy - up to 7x1 = 7 years; adolescence - up to 7x2 = 14 years; youth - 7x 3 = 21 years; young man - up to 7x4 = 28 years; man - up to 7x7 = 49 years; elderly man - up to 7 x 8 = 56 years.
Echoes of the veneration of the seven have reached our time. Let's remember, for example, seven notes, seven colors of the rainbow. Remember the proverbs and sayings with the number seven... (“seven do not wait for one,” “seven troubles have one answer,” “seven spans in the forehead,” etc.) In addition to the well-known ones, you can also remember these: “And the righteous man falls seven times a day ”, an experienced person “he ate from seven ovens”, “people see who they are through seven walls”, “a fox will lead seven wolves”, “rather than send seven, it’s better to visit it yourself”, “with seven roads there are eight streets”. The Kazakhs have a saying: “Buried in the seventh depth of the earth,” used when talking about something that is too secret, inaccessible (in the sense that you can’t get to the bottom of it).
The question involuntarily arises: how to explain such a long-standing and widespread veneration of this number? The most convincing explanation was given by psychologist D. Miller. The researchers conducted various experiments. A blindfolded person, for example, was asked to determine by ear the pitch of the sound he heard from the speaker. When a person heard two or three different sounds, he never confused them. When subjects were asked to rate four sounds of different tones, they sometimes made mistakes. And at five and six, mistakes became frequent. Repeated experiments have shown that a person is able to distinguish no more than seven different tones.
Another experiment. The person was shown a piece of paper with dots marked on them. If there were no more than seven dots on the paper, he immediately named the correct number without counting. When there were more dots, errors began. Psychologists called the number seven “object of attention.” There is no longer an instantaneous grasp behind it. “Apparently,” Miller believes, “our body has some kind of limit that limits our abilities and ... is determined by the very structure of our nervous system.”
It turns out that long before the ancients deified the number seven, this number was well known to people. It reflected the property of their brain, its “throughput.”
So, what does the ancient science of numerology say about the meaning of the number 7?
7 - symbolizes mystery, as well as the study of the unknown and invisible. Astrologers think of seven as a perfect number. According to popular belief, the seventh son of the seventh son is endowed with incredible magical powers. Seven unites the integrity of 1 with the ideality of 6 and forms its own symmetry, making it truly a psychic number.
Seven is the number of luck, the most magical and sacred number, personifying wisdom, holiness and secret knowledge. This line of inconsistency can be continued. Here are such personality traits as diligence and a poetic soul, a penchant for analytical thinking and strong intuition, rich imagination, a lively, vivid imagination. 7 is a sign of nature's interest in human development. Composers and musicians, writers and poets, philosophers and hermits, thinkers and hermits are born and raised with this number. Their inspiration requires solitude and loneliness. This is their need and their element. With the number 7 they become bright personalities, people of worldwide renown. 7 conceals the ability to direct talent into the field of science, into the world of art or philosophy, into religious activity. But the success of their activities largely depends on a deep analysis of the results of what has already been achieved and on real planning for their future. 7 is a symbol of everything mysterious and magical, this is the most interesting and most mysterious number. Owners of 7 are talented, emotional and inquisitive, have a good sense of humor and a penchant for invention.
Baker's dozen
In English, 13 is often called “the baker’s dozen.” The origin of this name is due to the fact that in the Middle Ages, bakers, fearing the harsh penalties in force at that time for deceiving customers (up to cutting off a hand), usually added an extra bun to every dozen so as not to accidentally make a mistake.
In many European cities there are no houses, floors, or apartments numbered 13. This number is skipped when numbering seats on airplanes and buses, in auditoriums and train carriages. You won’t see this terrible number above the door of a hospital room... Why?
Yes, because everyone knows: according to ancient popular belief, the number 13 has long been called the devil’s dozen and is believed to bring misfortune. And if it falls on a Friday, then definitely expect trouble! If Monday is a “hard day,” then Friday is far from the most favorite day of the week among all peoples. Unknown forces can bring people a lot of trouble on this fateful day, because all the worst things that are individually in Friday and the number 13, when combined, are doubled. This date is called “the day of Satan” because of its ominous unpredictability. Fear of Friday the 13th is called paraskavedekatriaphobia or friggatriskaidekaphobia.
This is not a joke or an empty superstition at all. For example, in such a reputable publication as the British Medical Journal, it has been noted more than once that on Fridays, and especially the 13th, surgeons try not to schedule planned operations, because they know that the risk of failure on this day doubles! This unique phenomenon has hardly been studied by official medicine, but it exists.
By the way, the opinion that only people of simple origin believe in such prejudices is not entirely true. Even geniuses often feared this day. Goethe, for example, tried to spend this day in bed. Napoleon did not fight any battles, and Bismarck did not sign any documents. The writer Gabriele D. Annunzio in 1913 dated all his letters to 1912+1. And the composer Schoenberg, himself born on the 13th, spent the entire day of July 13, 1951, on Friday, under the covers, shaking with fear. Fifteen minutes before midnight, his wife said he had little left to be afraid of. But it all ended even earlier: Schoenberg barely raised his head, squeezed out the word “harmony” and died. Time of death - 23.47, 13 minutes to midnight.
The number of such examples is inexhaustible. Many people today believe in an unlucky day and support this belief with irrefutable facts. The German Automobile Club recently published its own data from many years of recording road accidents. You can explain this with anything and question it, but according to German traffic cops, on every Black Friday the number of road accidents increases by almost 60%!
If you ask the opinion of police officers from other departments, they will definitely say that on Fridays there are more thefts, robberies and murders than on other days of the week, and on Black Fridays the number of criminal acts increases even more. The number of suicides and plane crashes is also increasing significantly.
Moreover, the irrational fear of Friday and the number 13 is international. Muslims consider Friday the worst day to start any journey. To this day, most Western travel companies prefer to adhere to this golden rule: they never send tourists on trips and cruises on Fridays, and even more so on the 13th.
But not everyone is in awe of the onset of a “rainy day.” The Soviet poet Mark Lisyansky, for example, wrote this wonderful poem:
As for anyone, but for me thirteen
Lucky and generous number.
I don’t believe in omens, but I must admit,
I've always been lucky with the number thirteen.
I'll start with the fact that I became a man,
According to my calendar,
In the thirteenth year
At the beginning of the century, January 13th.
When I was thirteen I fell in love for the first time
My first teacher.
I was lucky in this difficult world
He slept on the grass and drank water from rivers.
As a child, I lived in apartment number thirteen,
I went to school number thirteen.
From a lived-in sunny paradise
I have climbed into utter hell more than once.
I died on the twelfth of May,
On the thirteenth of May I was resurrected.
Friends, I'm wearing a lucky shirt,
Lucky number come soon!
It's a pity I only have one daughter,
And we need thirteen daughters.
And there is only one life. And you need to be friends with her,
And after spring, celebrate spring.
It would be nice to have thirteen lives,
Thank you for one for now!
There are also those who protest against this sign. The ship was called “Friday” because, contrary to all superstitions, it was laid down on the day of the same name. A man named Pyatnitser was appointed captain of this vessel. The British Admiralty did all this with the sole purpose of demonstrating the absurdity and absurdity of the superstition firmly rooted in the Royal Navy, according to which Friday is an unlucky day for a sailor. On Friday, “Friday” went on a test voyage and disappeared without a trace along with Pyatnitser and the entire crew. As if she sank into the water.
At the end of the last century, “Club 13” was organized in London, whose members decided to fight stupid superstitions. On January 13, 1894, they gathered at 13 tables of 13 people each in a large restaurant, in room No. 13. For complete happiness, one person was still missing - the 13th at one table. A note of apology was soon delivered: “My courage failed me at the last moment,” wrote Mr. George R. Sims. Thus the first attempt to overcome the “black” number failed.
Daredevils are still trying to challenge “Black Fridays” and other symbols of misfortune. In the state of Philadelphia, several very wealthy people were determined to show that they were far from prejudices and superstitions. They united in a club, which they ironically called “Friday the 13th.” Every 13th day of the month, thirteen people gather in room 13 of a local hotel, tempting fate and challenging it. On these days, lavish dinners are held, and then everyone enthusiastically commits various reckless acts - breaking mirrors to smithereens, opening umbrellas in rooms (this is considered a bad omen), scattering handfuls of salt, releasing black cats from their cages, and committing similar madness.
By the way, many nations have a belief: “Do not gather thirteen at one table,” because in this case one of them will leave this mortal world before the end of the year. In the Russian version, this is reflected in the proverb: “The thirteenth guest is under the table.” There was even a profession for the “fourteenth guest,” who was invited to the meeting specifically to avoid the unlucky number.
Where did the belief in the fatality of Friday and the number 13 come from? 
There is a belief that “discrimination” has its roots in Scripture. One popular explanation is the Last Supper, of which the thirteenth member was the traitor Judas. Many Christians claim that Christ was crucified on the 13th. Some biblical scholars believe that Eve tempted Adam to eat the forbidden fruit on Friday. And finally, it is believed that Cain killed Abel just on Friday the 13th. In ancient Rome, witches gathered in groups of 12 people. The 13th was believed to be the devil. Another version comes from the Middle Ages: supposedly 12 witches organized covens together with Satan. Modern scientists are still looking for an explanation for this phenomenon. Thomas Fensler, a mathematician at the University of Delaware, concluded that the negative reputation of the number 13 is due to its position after 12. The fact is that numerologists consider 12 to be a truly perfect number. There are 12 months in a year, there are 12 signs of the zodiac, 12 gods on Olympus, 12 labors of Hercules, 12 tribes of Israel and 12 disciples of Christ... The number 13 violates this perfection. The scientist also believes that the fear of the 13th also comes from the Scandinavian myth about the 12 gods who feasted on Valhalla. They were joined by the 13th uninvited guest - the evil Loki. Once at the feast, he made sure that the blind god of darkness, Hoder, killed the god of joy, Balder the Handsome, with an arrow. Balder died, and the whole earth became dark.
However, there is no exact historical date that would be officially identified as the origin of superstition. There are many versions about the origin of this concept. For example, this one. Friday, October 13, 1066 was the last day of the reign of the Saxon king Harold ΙΙ. On this day, William offered to cede the crown to Harold, but Harold rejected the offer. The Battle of Hastings occurred the next day. Harold was killed and William took control of England.
Or this version, voiced, for example, in Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code. It is said that King Philip IV the Fair arrested and executed most of the Knights Templar. Their arrest was organized on one day, and that day was Friday, October 13, 1307. This event gave rise to the legend of Unlucky Friday the 13th.
Some independent experts involved in the study of anomalous phenomena believe that it was not for nothing that humanity has been afraid of certain days of the week since ancient times. The fact is that calendars, in their deepest essence, reflect not only the countdown of time, but also carry certain information about the cyclicity of the so-called “voltage peaks” of invisible forces in the universe, which are inextricably linked with the Earth’s noosphere. Even the legendary fortuneteller Spurinna urged Caesar to be wary of certain days. Perhaps, if he had listened and not appeared in the Senate then, the tension would have subsided, and the conspiracy against him would have crumbled on its own, since the peak of the tension of negative energy would have passed.
Fear of the “devil's dozen” is a fairly common phenomenon. It is even included in the classification of neuroses called triscadekaphobia (fear of the number 13). According to some estimates, in the US alone, on one such day, the economy suffers damage of 800-900 million dollars - due to canceled flights and imperfect transactions. Friday the 13th affects between 17 and 21 million people in the United States. Symptoms of the disease range from mild anxiety to large-scale panic, causing people to sometimes completely change their business decision, schedule, or even refuse to work that day. The practical cure for fear of the 13th is very simple - focus on the pleasant things that sometimes happen on this day, and not dwell on the failures. Folklore of different nations offers other cures: climb to the top of a mountain or skyscraper and burn all your holey socks there. Or, standing on your head, eat a piece of cartilage. What to do - choose for yourself.

Secrets of magic numbers.
Meaning of numbers
Numerology- an occult science that studies the influence of numbers on human destiny. It is one of the ancient sciences. By the magic of numbers were engaged Assyrian magicians, Egyptian, Hebrew, Chinese, and also Pythagoras.
The great ancient Greek mathematician and mystic Pythagoras (550 BC) told his students that numbers rule the world. His teaching was based on the fact that numbers contain the secret of the Universe. Ideas expressed by numbers are absolute and perfect. Numerical mysticism flourished in the school of Pythagoras. For Pythagoras and his school, the elements of numbers were the elements of all things. The Pythagoreans said: “Everything in nature is measured, everything is subject to number, in number is the essence of all things. To know the world, its structure, its pattern means to know the numbers that control it. You can see the nature and power of number in all human activities, in all arts, crafts, music. Not matter, but number is the beginning and basis of things."
Pythagoras believed that the soul of each person is associated with a certain number, that even such concepts as friendship, honesty, justice and other qualities can be described by certain numerical ratios. He believed that some numbers bring goodness, joy and prosperity, while others bring ruin and decline. Therefore, the task of mystical mathematics is to discover the divine meaning of each number.
Pythagoras and his disciples reduced all numbers to the numbers 1 to 9, since these are the original numbers from which all others can be derived.
They also divided the numbers into even and odd. Even numbers were considered feminine(inert), odd numbered - masculine(active).
Each number represents an idea. All phenomena of the world are reduced to simple numerical vibrations. These vibrations have a great influence on our lives.
Numerology makes it possible to see and realize your deep essence, to track the driving forces of fate. Answer the questions:
How to achieve goals?
What attracts people to each other?
What name should I give my child?
What middle name (pseudonym, nickname) should you choose for yourself - to realize yourself in creativity, family, circle of friends?
How to choose a house or apartment number? and much more.
In real life, a person needs knowledge of numerology to choose simple and convenient guidelines and the lifestyle that best suits him.
Numerology classes(like other occult sciences) contribute to finding harmony with the surrounding world, cause a certain impulse in the subconscious and provide access to subtle energy-information fields.
By studying numerology in depth, understanding the meaning of the surrounding numbers, a person comes to understand his individual rhythm and gets the opportunity for a completely different development.
The birthday number can be used to harmonize and heal the physical body.
The number of the month of birth is to harmonize the astral field (emotions, desires).
The number of the year of birth is to harmonize the mental field.
Total date of birth– this is the number of a person’s essence (that which cannot be changed, a constant value).
Total number of last name, first name, patronymic– this is the number of a person’s personality (variable value).
The number of the surname is the egregor to which the person is connected.
The name number is the purpose of life. When choosing a name for a child, parents determine its purpose.
The number of the patronymic indicates the basis on which relationships with ancestors and a person’s adaptation in the world are based.
Alchemical number– essence number + personality number.
(total number of date of birth + total number of last name, first name, patronymic).
With its help you can influence the world and change your destiny.

The magic of numbers
Numerology Basics
In numerology, all words, names and numbers can be reduced to unit digits, which correspond to certain occult characteristics that influence a person’s life. That is, in numerology, certain properties, concepts and images are assigned to each single-digit number. Numerology is used in analyzing a person's character to determine character, natural gifts, strengths and weaknesses, predict the future, choose the best place to live, discover the most appropriate time for making decisions and for actions. Some people also use numerology to choose their partners - in business, marriage, and also in society.
Story
Despite the fact that numerology has gained great popularity relatively recently, in fact it belongs to one of the most ancient sciences. To some extent, the numbers themselves form their own language, which was understood and used by many primitive tribes, maintaining connections among themselves in the language of numbers. And in ancient alphabets (for example, in Hebrew), numerical values were also assigned to letters. And this is still widely used in many linguistic traditions, for example, they write paragraph a), b), c), instead of numerical numbering.
Now it is impossible to establish exactly when numerology originated, for the reason that in ancient times (in Babylon, India, Egypt, Greece and Rome) there was, of course, no such separate science. In those days, the philosopher and the mathematician easily understood each other and did not think of their sciences as separated from each other by impenetrable barriers. Therefore, the same scientists studied numbers from the point of view of both philosophy and mathematics. Plato and Aristotle required their students to be proficient in mathematics, and most ancient mathematicians were well acquainted with the philosophy of their time.
Pythagoras' positions
The main provisions of the current version of Western numerology were developed in the 6th century BC. e. by the ancient Greek philosopher and mathematician Pythagoras, who combined the mathematical systems of the Arabs, Druids, Phoenicians and Egyptians with the sciences of human nature.
Numerology in Kabbalah
Numerology received particular importance in Kabbalah, where its variety is known as gematria.
Kabbalists expanded on the Pythagorean concept by using numbers in magic squares for various purposes. With the discovery in the 19th century of the nature of light, electricity and magnetism by scientists, the ancient occult meanings attributed to numbers began to be attributed to vibrations of energy.
Without plunging into the labyrinths and depths of Kabbalistic cosmology, modern numerology prefers a simplified numerical and alphabetic code based on the theories of Pythagoras.
Pythagorean theory
Pythagoras, his students and followers reduced all numbers to numbers from 1 to 9 inclusive, since they are the original numbers from which all others can be obtained (this in itself is no longer credible, since in the binary number system, for example, such There is only one digit; in hexadecimal, on the contrary, it is fifteen). Various systems have been developed to reduce large numbers into elementary ones. The simplest and most popular method of obtaining these digits from numbers is to add all the digits of this number, then, if 10 or more are formed, add these digits as well. This process is continued until an elementary number from 1 to 9 is obtained (in some versions In numerological calculations, the two-digit numbers 11 and 22, also called dominant numbers, are not reduced to single digits). Any numbers can be subjected to such “analysis”: date of birth, telephone number, apartment number, etc.
By the number you can determine what the coming year will be like and how to use it to your greatest benefit. From a numerological point of view, time moves in endlessly repeating cycles from 1 to 9. Within centuries and decades, each new year brings with it a new number. Days and months within a year can also be divided into cycles.
Numerological analysis of words
Numerological analysis of words, for example, a name, is also possible. The fact that a name distinguishes a person from other people serves as a basis for believing that it contains the individuality of a person. If a name is analyzed according to traditional rules, it will reveal character and destiny. The main problem with such an analysis is that there are a huge number of different names in the world. The task of analyzing these names seems hopeless unless one can reduce them to a reasonably limited number of species. To do this, all names are turned into numbers, using existing correspondences between numbers and letters of the Russian alphabet.
The connection between numerology and the Bible
As one of the ways to resolve a difficult life situation, some numerologists recommend writing the problem down on paper, calculating the full numerological number using a numerology table, and then searching for clues from the text of the Bible. As the clearest example of the effectiveness of this method, a coincidence associated with King Solomon is used: the numerological addition of the phrase “King Solomon” gives the resulting number 11. And it is in the 11th book of the Bible (The Third Book of Kings), exclusively in the first 11 chapters, that the biography of King Solomon is given, and in chapter 11 verse 11 a clear and unambiguous reason for God’s punishment of Solomon is given.
Russian numerology
It differs from all other numerological schools in that it defines direct characteristics of over 150 numbers. Allows you to determine the fate of individuals, nations and countries not only by the characteristics of numbers, but also by the texts of the Bible. Today it is the only such tool for studying the information contained in the texts of the Gospel.
Numerological ideas in culture
In different cultures, tradition required “adjustment” of the observed world to the archetypes of consciousness. This is how many stable, but physically completely unfounded ideas were born: four-component (European) and five-component (Asian) theory of taste, 7 colors of the rainbow among Europeans and 6 colors among the British.
Examples of numerological descriptions of numbers
- - nothing
- - unit - basis of account
- - bilateral symmetry of organisms, dichotomy of many nomenclatures
- - three-dimensionality of the material world, 3 points of support for stable balance, three-component theory of color vision.
- - 4 elements of the ancient world (Mediterranean, Greece), 4 temperaments, 4 tastes
- - closely related to the 5 fingers on the hand - eastern pentatonic, as well as in the civilizations of the Ancient East - 5 tastes, 5 colors, 5 elements; pentagram
- - six sides of a honeycomb, six-petalled flowers, a hexagram of two triangles
- - (?) - 7 metals of antiquity, 7 “planets” of antiquity (observable with the naked eye, including the Sun and Moon), 7 notes, 7 colors of Newton’s rainbow
- - infinity sign (∞), rotated by 90°.
- - in numerology - a symmetrical and individual two
- - dozen - the first number with many divisors (2,3,4,6), 12 months of the year, 12 signs of the Zodiac, 12 hours on the dial, 12 parts of the Temple of Solomon, 12 * 5: the basis of the 60-digit number system
- - devil's dozen - close to a dozen, but not entirely divisible.
