Numerology
Numerology, the belief that numbers may portend important circumstances in our lives is more than just the musings of a new age insanity. Although a construct with which we've learned to symbolize something collectible or counted for centuries, they do take on a deeper meaning for the psyche. People relate to different kinds of stimuli, one of which is numbers. Any major magical practice with numbers may be looked upon as any other symbol. Symbols in this regard act as the focal point for directing energy while piercing through the object - after a time reactions form towards specific sequences of numbers. There is some level of similitude with magic involving numbers, and scrying.
Magic Squares
One of the most potent uses of numbers in magic has been through magic squares, not unlike the modern day sudoku games. The rules may differ slightly, but the format is essentially the same. Strangely, the science behind a magic square is based on a triplicity of principles. In a magic square, probably based on mathematical theories of perfect squares, the numbers in horizontal, vertical and diagonal slots add up to the same sum. The triplicated sum resonates to its own frequency, producing a vibrational affect from the position and layout of the entire numeric puzzle.
Numerology on the Internet
Differing sites draw attention to the first ten numbers, or only focus on double digits, while others still incorporate a belief that this kind of resonance is also significant in repeated digits in sets of threes or fours. The most common numeric event in reference today is 11:11, which has developed quite a following in the new age community.
