Numerology:
Start by writing out your full birth name (first, middle, and last). Now assign numbers to each letter using the chart as a guide. (Note: This chart is read downwards so that 1 is A, J, S; 2 is B, K, T; etc.) Later you can analyze other variations of your name (nicknames, married names) but for now let's just stick with your birth name.
Number Assignments:
Sound confusing? It really isn't. Just take a look at the following example and you'll get the idea.
In this example, we will use Henry Quincy Mathers as the birth name. What's more, we'll say that old Henry was born on November 11, 1922. Or 11/11/22, the way it is usually written. (By the way, "11" and "22" are generally considered master numbers in numerology. So Harry's an interesting character, judging by his day of birth alone!)
Okay, now let's assign numerical values to Henry's full name at birth.
H e n r y = 8, 5, 5, 9, 7
Q u i n c y = 8, 3, 9, 5, 3, 7
M a t h e r s = 4, 1, 2, 8, 5, 9, 1
Now adding these numbers together we have:
H e n r y = 34 (or 7)
Note: In numerology, 34 becomes 3+4. Most two-digit numbers get "broken down" in the same fashion. The only exceptions are the "master numbers" (11 and 22). When a master number appears in the final total, it can be read two ways
(11/2 or 22/4). So if a master number appears in your first, middle, or last name,
this is something you might wish to jot down and check out later. But for now "break down" all two-digit numbers, the way you would the "34" above.
Q u i n c y = 35 (or 8)
M a t h e r s = 30 (or 3)
You can then add all these numbers together in one of two ways. (Try each method and you will see that you arrive at the same final number.)
34 + 35 + 30 = 99. The 99 is then "reduced" to 9 + 9 = 18. And this 18, is further "broken down" to 1 + 8 = 9.
or simply add 7 + 8 + 3 = 18, which then becomes 1 + 8 = 9.
As you can see from the above calculations, Henry's birth name reduces to a 9. In numerology this particular combination of first, middle, and last name provides the "Destiny Number." (To see the various calculations that appear in a typical numerology report, visit Typical Numerology Calculations. There we provide more numbers for Henry that you can use as a guide in performing your own calculations.)
Okay, you have your Destiny Number. Now what does it mean?
On the chart below is a quick interpretation of the numbers 1 through 9 and the two master numbers (11 and 22). You should be aware that some numerologists attach special significance to other two-digit numbers. However, they are not universally recognized in numerology circles.

As you begin to flesh out your own numerology calculations, you will likewise see recognizable themes begin to emerge. We hope the snapshot analysis above helps you to feel more comfortable in performing numerology interpretations for yourself of your friends. Numerology really is easy. It's simply a matter of getting a feel for the numbers!
Helpful Hints For Numerology Interpretation:
Tip One: Stick with the basic numbers (1 through 9; plus 11 and 22). Yes, there are other so-called "master numbers" or "karmic numbers" that some people swear by. But oftentimes these exotic numbers are more confusing than they are enlightening. And many numerologists don't bother with them.
Tip Two: Stick with the basic calculations. Almost all numerologists perform certain calculations. These include the sum of your birth date numbers; the sum of the letters in your birth name; the sum of the vowels in your name; the sum of the consonants, etc. Try to get a feel for these basic calculations and what they convey.
Tip Three: Don't be intimidated by fancy-sounding terminology. Although most numerologists perform the same basic calculations, there are no limits to the names people come up with for these calculations. If we call it your "Birthpath Number" and someone else calls it "XYZ Number"--it really doesn't matter.
Tip Four: Draw on your common sense, your experience, and your intuition. After a while some of the numbers might remind you of people you know. Or you may get an intuitive flash because a person's "5" seems to jump out at you. Well, go with these impressions.
And remember--numerology should be fun! So have fun learning it!

Stone Spells
Protection - Amber
If you feel you are being subjected to heavy negativity, light a white candle and place it on the ground or floor. Sit before it with a handful of small amber beads or pieces, and using them, create a circle around yourself. Sit within the cicle while restoring your energy and closing yourself to any and all outside influences. Repeat as neccessary.
Protection - Amber
Place nine small beads or pieces of amber into a bath of very warm water. Soak in the tub until the water cools, then retrieve the amber, towel off, and carry or wear one of the beads or pieces until your next bath.
Emotional Upset - Amethyst
When emotionally upset, stressed to the point of severe mental problems, or when in any unstable condition, go to a place outside where you can be alone. Hold an amethyst in your left hand. Pour out all your feelings, your emotions, from your body through your arm, out your palm and into the stone. Feel every pain, every emotional low, every hurt. Send it into the stone with all the force of your innate magical abilities.When the stone is nearly bursting with negativity, throw it with as
much force as you can muster. Scream, howl, choke out a shout as you throw the stone. As you hand releases the amethyst, release the hurt as well. Know that it is in the stone, that it is outside you, that it is now alien to you. Calm down, breathe deeply, meditate for a few moments. Thank the earth for its help, then turn around and leave your problems behind you.The earth will absorb the hurt, leaving the stone free, but never bring that stone into your life again.

touching your hand. Then open your eyes and gaze at the stone until answers or messages come through.
