Numerology, the study of the power and significance of numbers, is slowly emerging from the disreputable status of a crackpot pseudo-science into the light of respect and recognition, as a new and more open-minded generation examines it. This new acceptance is due in large measure to the pioneering work of Sepharial (the pseudonym of Walter Gorn-Old, 1864–1929), who researched the writings of remotest antiquity and, following the lead of the Greeks, Aryans and Egyptians, discovered the true significance of numbers themselves. The symbolism of the numerals pointed the way to a new science, with its own terminology and language.
In 1913 Sepharial published the results of his studies in a two-volume work which he called The Kabala of Numbers. In it he presented a clear and original revelation of the kabalistic, or esoteric, doctrine of numerals. He discusses the relationship between Numerology and Astrology, and shows how a person's destiny can be read in his name. Explained in great detail are tyhe fascinating relationships between numbers and the phenomena of nature—color, sound, planetary motion, cycles—and the amazing laws, such as the Law of Periodicity, which govern the occult world.
Newcastle is pround to present this classic of Numerology in the first low-priced edition of the original work, complete and unabridged, both volumes in a single book, profusely illustrated with tables and diagrams.
I was surprised to see that this book was written in the end of 1800s. Another thing I was surprised and confused with is the correspondence of planetary energies and their sepharial numbers in the tree of line. For example number 3 is Venus ( not Saturn). I think his system was influenced by vedantic esoterism because I ve never seen such a different system in hermetism or qabalah at all.
