I have stopped counting the number of numerologists who tell me I am wrong. They have the right key, the true key, the one and only key that will decipher the mysteries of ALL THE WORDS.
**Sigh**
The key they refer to is the “Pythagorean” key, which doesn’t come from Pythagoras. It comes from Aso Neith Cochran, who most likely adapted it from Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa’s letter-number key. It was made popular by author Sarah Balliett and her friend, Dr. Julia Seton, MD, in the early 1900s. Across the ocean, occultists Cheiro and Sepharial were busy hanging out in the British Museum, getting high off dusty old scrolls, and concocting their own versions of numerological word analysis, each using keys that were, again, different. I’ve written about that already, here.
After nearly 40 years of study and practice, I have come to the conclusion that they are all correct. They will all tell you something about yourself or the word you are investigating. I have linked a document below. I will share it on the Free Resources page also.
The Pythagorean key is the one that we are all familiar with. It is sequential, making it easy to learn. The Chaldean key is not sequential, but it isn’t difficult to follow. I do prefer results using this key, but the main site uses the Pythagorean key strictly for now, simply because it is the best-known one. I have also included the sound key I use. You do not use it for spelling letter by letter, but by how a word is spoken, and that can be different for every person who speaks. It is my favourite key to use when I have the privilege of hearing a client speak their name to me.
