Numerology is the art and science of interpreting how numbers influence our lives and destinies. Over 2,000 years ago, Pythagoras, the father of geometry, believed the key to understanding the universe was concealed in the science of numbers. By identifying and interpreting their hidden meaning and symbolism, one can gain insights into the past, present, and future. Today, numbers continue to hold a special place in our lives—birth dates, anniversaries, and, of course, our own personal "lucky" numbers.

Ms. Drayer then proceeds to examine the fundamentals of this science, discussing the importance of free will, names, and birthdays along with the relevance of odd, even, and attainment numbers.

In this gem of a book for both beginners and intermediate students, Drayer, who has practiced numerology for more than 30 years, presents a history and how-to on her subject. In the first part, she posits that numbers are not simply numbers but symbols of truth and points out that Pythagoras brought forth this idea 2500 years ago. Ever since, all the letters of the world's alphabets have been assigned corresponding numbers, and our birth names and dates, once converted to numbers, can tell us a lot about ourselves. Offered then are simple step-by-step instructions for making a chart, combined with profound depth-of-meaning in the numbers. She explains very well how to put all the pieces of information together so that readers can get to know themselves more deeply as well as seek guidance in making everyday decisions. Drayer makes it clear that while she provides excellent explanations for each digit, intuition plays a big part in her professional life. With a full glossary, blank charts, and a good index, this book will make a strong addition to parapsychology collections.-Marija Sanderling, Nesmith Lib., Windham, NH Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information.
