Numerology is the art of divination by examining the numbers associated with words, names, and other things.

    The most common Western Latin version of numerology works by the following method:

1. Replace all Latin (Roman) letters with the number of their order in the alphabet (A=1, B=2, C=3, ... Z=26).
2. Add all of the numbers together for the total for the word (advanced numerologists will use this number).
3. Take each digit of the resulting number and add them together (for example, 123 becomes 1+2+3)
4. Repeat the process (third step) until you reach a single digit total.
5. Apply the meaning of the single digit to the original word, name, etc.

    Please see each of the individual number articles for the specific meanings of each number.
