How many? All about numbers!

Pedometers count steps. Birthday cards commemorate the years passed. Apps keep track of anything you can think of. Those are just a few examples of people’s obsession with numbers. But what’s the reason behind that? Well, we like to see, count and remember things in numbers. And, let’s be honest. Numbers matter. They are powerful. They help us interpret people and events. They can even bring us luck.

If you think those statements are naïve, think again. Whether you like it or not, numbers and their interpretations have a very long history. It started in 6th century BC in Ancient Greece when the great mathematician and philosopher Pythagoras, whom you probably associate mostly with the Pythagorean theorem, said that “the world is built upon the power of numbers.” He believed that the universe is made of mathematical patterns and that numbers, which correspond to universal vibrations, can be used to represent all things around us. Those statements are at the heart of Pythagorean numerology, which is at the heart of modern numerology.

Numerology, which is a science for all you sceptics, studies the influence of numbers – most notably the date of birth – on our lives. Like Pythagoras, modern numerologists believe that every number has a specific vibration and since everyone is born on a certain date, month and year, those numbers influence our lives and create recognizable patterns.

But why do I keep talking about numbers? You see, I love them and I believe they have helped me a lot. I’ve successfully used my knowledge in numerology in my exploration of casino games. I’ve noticed some patterns myself. That’s why I’ve decided to start this blog and explore number-based and number-inspired theories and ideas. I have big plans for this site and I hope you’ll join in the discussion.
