How To Use Numerology To Choose Your Baby Name: Powerful

When you’re expecting a child, all you want is for them to be safe and find a place in this world to be happy. As a witch or pagan expecting a baby, naming that child can be very important.

A name can have a great deal of weight. Choosing a good name that reflects the qualities you want your child to be blessed with can act as a unique type of spell- manifesting those gifts and making them a reality.

Numerology can offer another way to inject some magic into your baby’s name. By using its method to assign a number to the moniker, you can send the qualities you’d like for your child out into the universe each time their name is spoken.

What is Numerology?

Numerology is the study of numbers and is founded on the belief that there is a relationship between numbers and things in the universe. A name’s number can offer insight into a person’s destiny and relationships similar to astrology.

Numerology asserts that a divinely encoded numerical value sits inside a person that displays their personality and purpose. Numerology uses a person’s full birth or chosen name and birth date.

There are five Core Numbers: Life Path, Destiny, Soul, Personality, and Maturity. The full name provides the Destiny Number.

Each number has certain corresponding traits. You can give your child a boost as they start life earthside by choosing a name that reflects the positive qualities associated with its numerology.

Each letter has a number associated with it from 1 to 9, as follows:

• 1 – A, J, and S
• 2 – B, K, and T
• 3 – C, L, and U
• 4 – D, M, and V
• 5 – E, N, and W
• 6 – F, O, and X
• 7 – G, P, and Y
• 8 – H, Q, and Z
• 9 – I and R

To find your name number, assign each letter in your name a number, and then add them all together. If you get a double-digit, you those two digits together. For instance, if you get a total of 24, you’ll add those two together to get six.

There are two exceptions to the double-digit rule. If the combined letters of a name result in an 11 or a 22, you won’t add these together. These “master numbers” have innate qualities of their own.

What is Numerology Used For?

Numerology can offer insights into a person’s character and future using the power of numbers. Like horoscopes, numerology can guide a person based on certain universal associations.

Under numerology, names generate multiple numbers, all calculated slightly differently. They include:

• The destiny number (aka life path number)- created using all the letters of your full name– that’s first, middle, and last names.
• The personality number (aka inner self number)- calculated using the consonants in your first name, which shows you what you’re really like and gives an idea of what people think of you.
• The soul number (aka soul urge number)- determined using the vowels of your first name and surname to provide insight into inner strength and what guides it. It’s particularly useful when choosing your baby’s name because it defines the inner self.

Where Does Numerology Come From?

The relationship between letters and numbers is ancient, and associating numbers with specific beliefs isn’t new. The idea that numbers have power goes back thousands of years and has been a part of human evolution for ages.

It is generally thought that numerology is over 2,500 years old. You can see evidence of it in the ancient cultures of Egypt, Babylon, India, Greece, Italy, China, and Japan.

Numerology has been used in Chinese culture for more than four thousand years to define which numbers are considered lucky. A number’s good fortune depends on its sound when said out loud. If it sounds similar to a random word, the number is also considered lucky!

Pythagoras, a Greek figure from around 570 BC, typically gets most of the credit for modern-day numerology. However, evidence of this isn’t perfect.

There is information that suggests that Pythagoras was more of a philosopher and mystic as opposed to a staunch mathematician. This was often the case throughout ancient times as magic and science were intertwined.

Pythagoras believed that the universe was ordered and had significant numerical relationships. Many thought of him as an expert in the soul’s fate as he preached about immortality and reincarnation.

These were important religious rituals of his day.

Still, regardless of any solid proof, Pythagoras is seen as “The Father of Numerology.” The “Pythagorean Chart” is what people most commonly use in modern-day numerology creations.

At the beginning of the 20th century, modern numerology used a combination of these principles, and it continues with that tradition today.
