The History of Traditional Numerology
"Why not just accept, what is handed down from ancient scholars? We accept so many other things." Cheiro
You can find traces of Numerology almost everywhere in any century in any culture and many books from Ancient Civilisations like the Greeks, Hebrews, Celts and Incas, in Ancient Text such at the Torah and the Kabbalah to more Modern day theorists like Cheiro, Churchill andFliess. All you have to do it Google numerology and all its secrets, mysteries, strengths and weaknesses should be revealed to you. Because these teachings have been diluted through the years, everyone has a different way of doing readings, which is not to say you should be put off, just the opposite… Like everything in life, do your homework and chose the right numerologist for you.
But, just in case you want to hear it here… Numerology dates back to 500 B.C.and the great mathematician, scientist and philosopher, Pythagoras (commonly known as “the father of modern mathematics”). He was regarded by the Greeks as an oracle of truth, credited by Plato as the source of Greek philosophy and Greek civilisation. In the course of his inspired life, Pythagoras demonstrated how each of the primary numbers (1-9) represented an aspect of universal energy, or what he termed, Universal Law.
He saw that numbers transcend the function of mere measurement, and considered them the original “articles” of creation, the primary conceptual tools of consciousness. He considered numbers to be the rational link between consciousness and matter, the connecting conceptual bridge between body and spirit, physics and metaphysics. Through numbers, he was able to understand, and precisely articulate, the conceptual framework of the universe. Unquestionably, a language of number was present, operating everywhere, within everything, simultaneously.
Pythagoras spent the greater part of his life researching, developing, and teaching the subject of Numerology. He confirmed a direct relationship between the numbers in the date of birth and the living experiences of human individuals; a direct hook-up between numbers and human psychology. Perhaps even more startling, he proved a relationship between numbers and the letters of the alphabet, and sought in various ways to demonstrate how the numbers within a given name precisely coincided with the various types of energies and qualities that were apparent in human behaviour. After many years and countless experiments, a “Mathematics of the Soul” was clearly shown to exist, demonstrated by an application of simple formulas to an individual’s given name and date of birth.
Pythagoras was fortunate to have lived at a time when there were few distractions from the activity of pure thought. There were no radios, no newscasts, no bookstores. There was very little formalised knowledge, no academia, no cacophony of opinions. Everything seemed brand new, and everything had the impact of original thought and revelation. His world was not divided into respectable and unacceptable subjects. His mind was simply open, and the whole universe was fair game. Thinking was like a drug, his ultimate form of entertainment. His genius became legendary in his own time. Pilgrims came to him from all corners of the earth, often traveling hundreds of arduous miles by horse or mule. His countenance was like a magnet, a powerful emanation of true understanding, which attracted innumerable students to his home in Corona, Italy. He was called by many “A Son of God”. He spent the last forty years of his long life researching, developing, and teaching the subject of Numerology.

The Incas were also skilled Numerologists, and today we are still trying to understand how they could motivate their entire communities to work as efficiently as they did. Much in their culture is still an enigma. Some people wonder why they did not resist when the Spaniards attacked their kingdom, but the answer is in Numerology. As they had always lived by Numerology, for years they had the knowledge that there would be people from far away that would destroy their country and culture, whether they resisted or not. Therefore, they remained passive.
For generations, it was only consecrated priests who worked with Numerology. Ordinary people were excluded from this knowledge. No matter where in history we dig for information, this pattern emerges. The common people knew nothing, while the clergy studied Numerology and other occult subjects. Many clergy throughout history used this knowledge for their own sake, which is never good. For, if something can be beneficial to others, we believe firmly that it is our duty to pass it on.
One of the most talented contemporary Numerologists, Cheiro, who was also Winston Churchill's personal numerologist, has said that it would only be logical to accept everything that these great men of ancient times and even further back discovered. Though the exact date of the discovery of numerology is never found, no matter how far back in history you search, people have known of the secret or occult significance of numbers. Therefore, we say again today that it is a gift from God.
The late astrologer Linda Goodman claimed that Numerology goes further back than Atlantis (ca. 20,000 BC). It is a little hard to imagine. In 1996, researchers found caves in France containing numbers with old drawings and writings. The numbers had the same symbolism that we use today for all 9 digits, and amazingly, they were dated to be seventeen thousand years old.
