Ever notice how some numbers seem to follow us throughout the course of our lives? Consider the numbers we choose when buying a lotto ticket--birth dates, anniversaries, ages, and addresses as well as other hopefully lucky numbers. They each have some personal meaning. Through the centuries, numerologists have been studying the significance of numbers and perfecting their art in the belief that numbers strongly influence both our behavior and our fate. They have learned that by understanding the meaning of numbers, we can gain greater insight into ourselves. In Numerology: Key to Your Inner Self, world-renowned numerologist Hans Decoz and accomplished writer Tom Monte have teamed together to produce an easy-to-understand guide that introduces the reader to the basic concepts and applications of numerology. Presented here is a technique that relates the major questions of an individual's life -his talents, challenges, career, and personal growth--with the basic numeric facts of his existence--his birth date and name. The book begins with a fascinating explanation of what numerology is and an intriguing look at the philosophy that lies behind it. It then examines how numerology works, focusing on the numeric meanings of personal names, birth dates, and language in general. Included is a step-by-step guide to calculating your own numbers and interpreting them in chart form.
This is a great book on numerology for several reasons - 1) It's comprehensive and informative. You'll learn everything you wanted to know about the 9 numbers and the master numbers, and what your own numbers are; 2) It's very well-written and easy-to-understand. It's a bit like your typical astrology book; 3) There are very few errors. The only drawback to this book is the layout (including the cover) which makes it look like a cheesy astrology book. But in reality its a very good book on numerology (especially for beginners).
One of the classic texts
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
A classic in its field, the Decoz Numerology book has an amazing amount of information. While many numerology books pad their chapters with duplicative or non-essential platitudes, Decoz provides pithy, thoughtfully written delineations. Stand out points include a very comprehensive discussion of master numbers, the cycles, pinnacles and challenges. His planes of expression are an uncommon intepretation...but highly accurate. Readers of the book can also check the author's website, where he offers (or a fee) a very comprehensive companion computer program (it does all the calculations for you.) with an audio instructional program which contains step-by step directions on how to cast a chart, how to practice the art of interpretation and even suggestions on how to become a freelance numerologist. Great stuff.
Learning the basics of numerology without knowing it!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
I've tried to get started with numerology several times, but I found other texts assume too much. This text starts from the very beginning and goes on from there. With defined "modules" or chapters, the reader starts to understand techniques and meanings via fun little exercises. After the reader completes a few of the chapters or "modules" he/she begins to realize some real understanding of basic principles is coming through! The book is easy and quick to read. The exercises are fun and create a desire to learn more. If you are just starting, this is a great book. If you know the basics, move on to a more advanced text.
My Favorite Numerology Book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
I just absolutely love this book. As a teacher and professional numerologist, I recommend it to all my students. In fact, it is a required book in my classes. I consider it the best book on the subject, and I ought to know. I own more than 50 numerology books. The book is full of insight and reveals aspects of numerology I have never found in any other book. The authors have done a fantastic job. It might be of interest to know that Decoz and Monte also created some of the best numerology software programs on the market.
Easily the best numerology book ever written.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
My life-long interest in the occult, and specifically in numerology has inspired me to read pretty much every book ever published on this subject. There is no doubt in my mind that Numerology; Key To Your Inner Self, by Hans Decoz with Tom Monte, is by far the most thorough, concise, and insightful book on numerology available. The book is very well written and a pleasure to read. The authors have done a great job in explaining all aspects of numerology in considerable depth and with remarkable clarity. I offer numerology classes and workshops and this is the book we use. My students love it as much as I do. I can recommend this book to anyone, whether you are an experienced numerologist or an aspiring novice, you will find valuable insight and spiritual gems throughout this book. I have used Decoz's famous numerology software for many years and between the book and the software, I have been able to help many people. I also want to mention that Decoz offers free chart calculator software to anyone from his web site at decoz.com. So, for those of us who are perhaps a bit lazy, we can let the computer do the math.
