Numerology 101

Numerology
Instructor: E.F.Sage
 
Supplies Required:

* Calculator
* Notebook or binder
* Pens / Pencils
* Folders w/pockets


In this course, you will be studying Numerology and how it works. Numerology has been out for thousands of years and is supposedly known to be the very first writings ever discovered on the back of an old turtle shell.
 
The beauty of numerology is that you don't have to be
a special master, guru or possess psychic talent in order
to become a numerologist. In fact all you really need to
know is your birthday, full name and how to add!
It is the simplest do-it-yourself divination method
that you could ever learn

In the following days we are going to teach you the following
basic concepts:

* How to familiarize yourself with each number by getting
   up close and personal with the KEY traits associated with
   each.

* How to determine your life path number.

* How to use your full name to determine your Expression
   number.

* How to use the vowels in your name to determine your
   soul's purpose.

* How to use the consonants in your name to divulge your
   inner dreams and maximum potential in life.


In addition you will learn through using charts andworks heets:

* How to determine at roughly what age you enter
   major life cycles and how they will impact your life.

* How to determine what your personal year is and how to
   take advantage of this period of time so that you can
   make optimum use of the blessings offered during this
   "window of opportunity."

* How to use numerology to detect your life's challenges
   and personal weaknesses.

* How to use numerology to find reveal practical challenges
   you can expect in the future.

* How to divine your karmic number which will tell you
   about your particular strengths and challenges as you
   travel along life's paths.

* How to find the essence of your name (also known as your
   transits) to find out your true focus for periods that
   demarcate the phases of your life.

* How to find th! e four pinnacles of your life and at what
   ages these important periods, which are the equivalent
   of the Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter of your life, will
   occur.

* How to determine your Planes of Expression Numbers which
   tells you to what extent you are an adaptable, grounded
   or creative personality and whether or not your personality
   is centered more in your mental, physical, emotional or
   intuitive spheres of being.


Finally the course will wrap up with a practical template
that shows you how to do a reading for another using all of
the information you have learned in the course.

For those of you who are not familiar with numerology at all
here is a brief recap:

Numerology is based on mathematical formulas that have rarely
been tinkered with over the ages. The theory is that every
name and every birth date can be reduced down! to a single number.

These numbers are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, and 22.

Each of these numbers is reduced down to a single digit.
This reduction of a name down by omitting vowels or consonants
to a symbol is a contemporary way of making a sigil.

In this case the sigil is usually a single digit number that
represents different  aspects of a person's character and destiny.

The only numbers that do not reduce down to a single digit
are the master numbers. Double digits indicate personalities
that are master numbers, meaning that they are the teachers
and builders in society. In fact, I am not surprised to find
myself introducing you to this course because my own  birth
name reduces down to a 22!

These numbers suggest a potential for a high degree of
achievement but if you are one, you often experience a very
difficult or stressful life path. Master numbers also have
what is called a parallel number. For instance, the number 22
reduces down to the number 4 which means that along with my
daily epiphanies come the usual practical and mundane daily
chores!

Although numerology has been practiced for centuries, in
modern times it really does have some practical applications
particularly if you are interested in some psychological
self-investigation.

It can also be used to predict high and lows in your life as
well as determine what makes you (and others) tick.

Perhaps its greatest value is in its capacity to help you
assess your personal strengths and weaknesses as well as
provide you with an intuitive snapshot of another person's
traits.

At the very least, learning numerology is an amusing parlor
game; at it's most it is a revelatory metaphysical science
that can provide you with  great insights and maybe even a
way of making a living!

Blessed Be!

Self Discovery Process Syllabus

Welcome to EFSage’s Self Discovery Process Syllabus

 

Self Discovery Process


Materials:

  • A deck of Tarot cards
  • A calculator
  • A notebook or binder
  • Pens and/or pencils

 I suggest that you create a special folder called “Self Discovery Process” on your personal computer and within that folder create sub-folders for each lesson. It will make it easier for you to keep track of your coursework.

 

Attendance, Copyright & Work Submission

 

If you must miss an assignment deadline, please inform the instructor as soon as you are aware of the problem to make arrangements. We do our work week by week so that the final lesson and research project or exam are completed by the end of term. With this understanding, attendance also means you turned in your work in a timely manner. Do not let this become a habit. You are not the only student and the Instructor wants to see EVERY student succeed!

 

Copyright of the Instructor

 

Any posted materials are copyright of the instructor. It is NOT permissible for you to copy off materials from this course and use them at your discretion for other purposes. You are registered as a STUDENT. This constitutes an agreement that you are here to study and be evaluated (tested). Our materials are not to be used at any coven or Pagan gathering or further publication on or offline of your choice. If it is determined that such use has been made of these materials, it constitutes grounds for immediate removal from any and all classes here at ELC and a possibility of legal action taken.

 

Homework Submission

 

The assignments given each week are homework and not 'tests'. Once your homework has been turned in you should check to see that it appeared as you typed it, proofread it and correct it if need be. When I score your journal entry, you will receive an email telling you that your work has been graded and that there is feedback waiting for you. This may take a few days, so allow ample time for me to get the grading done. We are still working on the system we will use so stay tuned for updates on lesson submissions and grading.

 

Some notes about work submission:

 

1. Do not submit only answers. If you do not post the questions, it is far too easy to get the answers out of order and make a really low score on an assignment. I cannot give you a grade based upon what I 'think' you might have done. So post both questions and answers, and avoid this type of error.

 

2. Follow the instructor's directions. This is a mark of responsibility and respect. If I ask you not to submit answers in all capital letters, then please do not submit answers in capital letters.

 

3. If I tell you not to use outside resources, then do not use outside material to 'find' the answers. If you know of some other source that covers our topic and you're just crazy about it, bring that up on the message boards, but do not submit 'answers' from that site. Use the course material. I will only grade answers that come from the course material.

 

4. And if you have personal experience with something, feel free to submit that as an "aside" AFTER you give the answer from the course material. I can't reproduce your individual results in most cases, so there is no way to verify personal experience. THAT'S why I don't give credit for it. But it is most appreciated when shared at the bottom of your assignment.

 

5. You will not be graded on spelling but using spell check IS mandatory. If I cannot read or make sense of your homework submissions I cannot grade them. Punctuation is also mandatory.

 

Further instructions on how to submit homework are given with each homework assignment. Be sure to follow those simple instructions as you turn in work.

 

 

Certificate of Completion

 

There will be an official ELC (EarthWalk Learning Center) Certificate posted for you to print off at the end of the course once you have successfully completed the course with a grade of no less than 80%. You must complete all assigned work to get credit for this course.
