What is Numerology?

Numerology is the study of numbers, but a psychic reading of sorts can be done using numerology. Just like in astrology, a personal numerology reading is a breakdown of an individual’s personal numbers or life path number, which are derived from ones birth-date and or name. From these numbers one can receive insight as to what life experiences or themes will be challenging, and repetitive. These numbers also give insights as to what natural abilities a person may have as well. Some believe that a soul chooses when to be born and therefore, one could derive a life path number representing the life’s purpose or journey for the soul.The life path number (or soul number) is derived by taking one’s entire birth-date -month ,day,and year and adding its sum. Then from that sum, reducing it to a single number.

For example: A birth-date of  July 5th 1990 would be derived as follows

7+5+ 1+9+9+0=31 The 31 then becomes 3+1 =4  and 4 would represent the life number. The same procedure can be done for one’s name. Each letter has a number that corresponds with it.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

A B C D E F G H I

J K L M N O P Q R

S T U V W X Y Z 

 For example:Joe Smith would be

1+6+5(Joe)  + 1+4+9+2+8(Smith)= 12(Joe)+24(Smith)

1+2+2+4 =9

9 would be Joe Smith’s personality number.This number would give insights into Joe’s personality.Numbers are considered to have particular energy traits or vibrational patterns assigned to them.

The metaphysical traits are as follows:

1-Individuality, will, ego

2-Cooperation, peace

3-Creativity, self expression

4-Discipline, work

5-Freedom, change, free will

6-Service, responsibility

7-Wisdom, knowledge

8-Power, authority

9-Compassion

The life number and personality number would then be looked at extensively as it pertained to the individual. By looking at the number an individual can see insights as to what conflicts, challenges, and abilities one would have in life or within his or her personality as it pertained to the number.

Metaphysical energies of crystals and stones

The metaphysical lore or magical uses of crystals and stones is as old as time. By magic, I am referring to the metaphysical energies associated with the stones  or crystals. Crystals and stones contain the earth’s metaphysical energies. The first shamans knew the hidden power or energy found in these even when they were separated by continents. Many Native American cultures share in the same belief as well. As time went on, amulets and talismans were made to provide the holder with the magical properties of the stones or crystals being used.  There is a vast majority of uses for stones and crystals that has been studied and used over the ages of time.

Stones and crystals have projective and receptive properties or energies that are associated with them.  These metaphysical properties are everywhere within the universe. Too much of one causes problems, thus warranting the need for balance. A person feeling out of balance or lacking within a certain aspect of them-self could use a certain stone or crystal that had a desired metaphysical energy to bring balance back into them-self.   One must also understand that the color of stones contributes to the metaphysical energies and properties they contain. Here is a list of stones and crystals with metaphysical uses associated with them. This list is not all inclusive.

Moon phases and energy

The lunar phase is important and helps in determining the best time for magic. There are basically two lunar phases: waxing moon (ideal time for constructive magic) and waning moon (ideal time for banishing and destructive magic, study, and meditation). In between you’ll have the dark moon (the time of greatest power for banishing and negative magic) and the full moon (the time of greatest power for positive magic).
Basically, as the moon grows, so grows the opportunity or desire for which you are working. As the moon gets smaller, so does the habit or thing you are trying to overcome or push away from you. Most witches of The Craft and pagans work around these lunar phases.

What is Metaphysics?

Metaphysics is not easy to define, but metaphysics is the study of reality, study of being and existence, study of  worldly nature, study of spiritual existence and how it all interacts with each other through forces that can be seen or not be seen. Metaphysics is a type of philosophy that has roots to Ancient Greek philosophers such as Socrates, Plato and Aristotle.

The term metaphysics in today’s world has come to represent and include many categories of topics such as: psychics, psychic readings, clairvoyance, Tarot, numerology, astrology, and runes. It also includes the paranormal, spirituality, reincarnation, magic, divination, esp, shamanism, paganism, the “Craft“, magical properties of crystals, herbs, oils, and charms. It encompasses meditation, astral projection, dreams, and more .

It embodies questions like:

Is there a God or spirit world? Who am I? Why am I here? What is the meaning of life? Is there an afterlife? What is reality? How do people and nature interact and why in relation to these questions?

It is through these questions that one works through the philosophy of metaphysics and it depends on one’s personal preferences and intuitions as to what metaphysical sources, methods and tools he or she uses to try and answer them. It is a personal quest of spirituality.

Much like numerology examines  a person’s birth-date, so does astrology. Astrology is the study of how people’s lives are influenced by the sun, moon, stars and planets by looking at birth-dates and times of when they were born. Certain metaphysical influences traits are attributed to each of the zodiac signs and by looking at those traits one can get insights into personalities and behavior patterns as in a psychic reading.
