Arithmancy, what is it?
Saturday, January 31, 2009 at 9:54PM
For my Hogwart's swap....
Arithmancy is another area of magic, specifically revolving around the magical properties of numbers. It is said that the vast numerical charts if calculated correctly can predict the future. This is not only a subject envisioned by J.K. Rowlings but was practiced by Ancient Greeks. The name derives from two greek words, arithmos and manteia. Arithmancy is a very interesting subject, but not one easily learned or easily understood.
Hermione practices Arithmancy, but Harry and Ron don't, and I believe that makes Hermione one of the strongest muggles at Hogwarts. She is one of my favorite characters, one who really appreciates the craft of magic.
For a quick glimpse into Arithmancy, let's see what my name means:
My name is Raquel
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
A B C D E F G H I
J K L M N O P Q R
S T U V W X Y Z
The values of my name are
918353
Add them up to get 29
Add again to get to a value lesser than or equal to 9 11
And again to get 2
So who am I?
This is what 2 means:
Two represents interaction, two-way communication, cooperation, and balance. Twos are imaginative, creative, and sweet natured. Peace, harmony, commitment, loyalty, and fairness are characteristic. But two also introduces the idea of conflict, opposing forces, and the contrasting sides of things: night and day, good and evil. Twos can be withdrawn, moody, self-conscious and indecisive.
I can say that it's a pretty good match on who I am, you tell me? Those of you who know me, the good side 8) hee hee, is this me?
