numerology

Using numbers for magic and divination is an old practice. You can discover your personal number by adding the numerical values of the letters of your name, or someone else's. You can learn some possible personality quirks of another. You can design a special word for specific energies. You can use the numbers instead of the letters as a code. You can use them to add energy to a spell by repeating a chant a chosen number of times. Or you could double the amount of an herb, or the number of candles used. Use your imagination!
