In A Little Bit of Numerology, Practicing numerologist Novalee Wilder provides an overview of the ancient esoteric system of numerology, including its history and origins. A step-by-step guide shows how to calculate your essence by examining the numbers 1 through 9, and using the results to explore your personality, understand essential life lessons, and figure out goals. Wilder also discusses the concept of name vibrations, the Numeroscope (a numerologist’s greatest tool), understanding others through numerology (using famous figures throughout history as examples), and applying this knowledge to your daily life.

Author’s Note:

Numerology is the spiritual and practical study of the numbers in your birthday, the letters in your name, and the vibration and power of which they are the expression in the world. Numerologists see everything in existence as a spectrum of vibration, and use their knowledge to help you make sense of and adjust to your inner and outer journey. The reason you’re sitting with this book in your hands is that I changed my name in 2014. I have always had a tendency to be bold in my choices, and was beyond frustrated by the direction my life was headed. I decided to try something the impact of which my rational brain was having a hard time grasping: changing my name with the help of numerology. Luckily, this choice paid off in ways I could never have imagined and transformed my life on all levels. It led me to the study of numerology and to becoming a professional numerologist. It opened me up to true love, abundance, moving across the globe, and the pull to share this ancient wisdom with people throughout the world.

In A Little Bit of Numerology you’ll get a crash course in the nine base numbers that are the foundation you’ll need before you move on to the more advanced concepts like name vibrations, numeroscopes, and how to use this new understanding to navigate the world and better support the people around you. Numerology can be immensely helpful on the journey of self-discovery. Learning to calculate your base numbers and see what life lessons and goals you’re here to explore will reveal the strengths and challenges inherent in your unique birthday.

Don’t worry if math is not your strong suit, as we will only use addition in this book. No advanced calculations are necessary. The reading of your own name vibrations and numeroscope will show you how your name and the numbers in your birthday have influenced and shaped your life so far. But there is more! This book is a key that unlocks many doors. When most people hear of numerology, name changes, and name vibrations, they either run away or go straight to, “So tell me what the numbers say about me!” There are keys in this book that can help you gain a bigger perspective not only on your own journey, but also the times and the challenges that our world is going through—so it’s not overwhelming or scary, but also not just a guide to what each number means.

As we entered the twenty-first century, we stepped into a millennium where the feminine and spiritual is finally climbing out of the pits to dance with the masculine and logical but limited mindset that has been leading us for so long. The rising popularity of the alternative world and the growing number of conversations we are having on a global scale about feminine and masculine roles are not just happening because we finally woke up to the injustice and problems of the last thousand years. Stepping from a year that starts with 1—as in 1900—to a year that starts with 2—as in 2000—is a step from the masculine to the feminine in numerology terms.

This means that on a global scale, we are now traveling through a different vibrational terrain than before, and the wisdom that has been kept secret can now finally be shared openly. This movement gets clear as we see the growing interest in divination arts, healing, and energy work reaching mainstream channels. From witchy-themed Netflix shows and crystal-infused skin care all the way to equal representation in global politics, this push toward making the unseen seen has both personal and global implications. The pendulum of change has swung deep into the world of logic and power for many decades, and we now see it returning back to the dark subconscious wisdom of the body and the intuitive world of energy and vibration. Everything old is new again as we look at our past and future with fresh eyes.

Yes, I know—I went for the woo-woo stuff right away! But we don’t just skim the surface in numerology, and being able to connect the dots when it comes to the vibration behind a number or series of numbers is the most important lesson to take away from your reading. A Little Bit of Numerology is for you if you want to explore numerology, if you have ever considered a name change, if you have ever been curious about the connection and roots of different divination arts, or if you are thinking about incorporating numerology and the depth it brings into your personal spiritual practice.
