A Little More Information on Arithmancy
Like astrology, arithmancy offers practitioners a system for determining favorable and unfavorable days for any individual. As a general rule, favorable days are supposed to be those that correspond to a person's character number. An "eight" personality, for example, would be advised to schedule important events like starting a business or getting married so that they occur on the 8th, 17th, or 26th of the month (each of which reduces to 8…1+7=8, 2+6=8).
Since any name or word can be converted to a number, arithmancy is also used to reveal "hidden kinships" among people, places, and things-the theory being that words and names that share the same numerical value are related and naturally go together. Thus a "six," will be best off driving a brand of car that reduces to 6, like a Honda or a Toyota. A "two" will be most romantically compatible with another "two." "Fives" should consider living in a city that reduces to 5 (such as Tokyo or Pittsburgh), and so forth. Although I don't recommend it, virtually all of life's decisions can be made "according to the numbers," from the friends one associates with to the foods on the breakfast table (eggs = 2, toast = 3, corn flakes = 4).
Assignment 2:
Play around with arithmancy and things in your life. Find something (or someone) you see every day with the same character number as you.
Extra Credit:
Using arithmancy, calculate the number corresponding to the last thing you ate.
Note: Just the homework this time, please.
