Number Symbolism in Charm Casting
Whether you find your charm kit including charms that have numbers on them, dice in your kit, dominos, or any other symbol that includes numbers - reading numbers in your charm kit can be done in many ways.

Numerology
Numerology was created well over 2000 years ago and many say it originates from famous mathematician and philosopher Pythagoras. Over the years, our understanding of numbers and their capabilities has grown exponentially and yet we are still uncovering new ways of understanding numbers and the role they play on earth (from both a scientific and mystical perspective).
Numerology as a form of divination and self-exploration is a very vast topic. Using Numerology you can add specific dates (like your birthday or the letters in your first and last name) to find things like your soul number, core number, life path, etc. Because there are so many aspects of Numerology, there is a lot of exploring you can do to further explain any given number.
