How to Change a Name According to Numerology
Numerology is a belief based on ancient teachings such as those of the Greek philosopher Pythagoras and the Hebrew Kabbalah. According to numerology, numbers have certain powers, and that these numbers can influence people, events or objects in the physical world. Numerologists also believe that certain numbers embody certain characteristics and that letters of the alphabet correspond to numbers. For this reason, many people with an interest in numerology elect to change their names to something that is more numerologically favorable.
