If you scoff at Palmistry and tea leaf reading, most likely
you won't become a fan of Arithmancy. Arithmancy is an old form of
fortune telling, consisting of names, numbers, and a whole lot of math.
Taken from the two Greek words, Arithmo(meaning number), and Mancy(meaning
prophecy), Arithmancy is one of the oldest forms of Fortune Telling.
Arithmancy is based on two ideas, the first being that
the numbers one through nine have a unique meaning that form our life.
The second being that a persons name contains their destiny if understood
correctly. In this subject, we use the first idea to figure out the
second one, and to form an understanding of our future.
The first step is to assign each letter a number, as on
the following chart.
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
To be clearer, the letters C, I, and U all have the same
value, 3. Your second step is to write down a name, and assign numbers
to each letter of the name. This is shown correctly below.
H a r r y P o t
t e r
8 1 9 9 7 7 6 2 2 5
9
Once you have the numbers written up, add them together,
the name Harry Potter equals 71. Then you reduce it to a single digit
by adding the component numbers together more than once if neccesary.
71 : 7+1= 8
The number 8 is the Character Number which determines a persons personality,
ar character virtue.
The second number is the Heart Number. this is determined
by adding up all the vowels in a name.
H A R R Y
P O T T E R
1
6
5
In this case the numbers equal 11, meaning that we must
do the same here as we did above.
11 : 1+1=2
The number two is your Heart Number.
The third number is found by adding up all of the consonants
in this name.
H a r r y P o
t t e r
8 9 9 7 7
2 2 9
This equals 53, or 8 to us. This is your Social
Number, which determines your outer face.
Now that we have our three numbers, 8, 2, 8, we can learn
what the 9 numbers mean.
One: This is the individuals number, if you are a one, then you are
independent, and determined.
Two: You are interactive, very social. You have imagination,
creativity, and a fair since. two's are naturally sweet natured, and loyal.
Three: three is the first whole number, with a beginning, middle, and
end. Past;present;future. Mind;Body;Spirit.
Four: Stability, and strength. fours are as determined as they
come, those who enjoy hard work.
Five: Instability, and imbalance. Fives are incapable of commitment,
and concentration.
Six: Harmonious and friendly are our sixes. they are loyal, and
loving, and they adapt easily.
Seven: Understanding and perceptive are our serious sevens. They
are of old, the goody goodies.
Eight: People who succeed greatly in life, and are practical, and ambitious.
Nine: represents fulfillment to the greatest degree. the nines
are dedicated to the service of others.
