A fresh and accessible guide exploring the fascinating science of numerology, revealing what the term means, providing an intriguing behind-the-scenes tour of the power of numbers, and showing the immense potential they have to enhance our lives in all kinds of amazing ways.
Numerology - the science, psychology and philosophy of numbers - enables us to use our mind and intuition to observe, connect with and interpret the cycle of numbers governing all aspects of life (1 to 9). Each of these numbers has its own set of qualities and meanings that can influence us at different levels - physical, emotional, mental and spiritual - in order to really make the most of life. After an insightful introduction about why the subject of Numerology is so worth exploring and the benefits it can bring, each main chapter then addresses key questions such Where does Numerology come from and how does it work? What are the benefits of applying Numerology to our lives? Can Numerology give me more insight into my own, or others', character? Can Numerology influence my aspirations and decisions in life? And finally, how can Numerology help me to become more aware of the bigger picture in life and make a wider contribution to society?
I wasn't expecting to enjoy this book as much as I did. It was a great practical guide for everyone that has an interest in numerology and the power of the numbers. I have several books on this topic but felt that this would be a great addition to my collection for the times that I am trying to teach others what the numbers mean. There were some aspects of the books that I wished would have delved deeper such as the master numbers but for the most part, I was pleased.
I would definitely purchase this book for my friends that are just starting to dabble in numerology.

I’ve been avoiding numerology for an awfully long time. I always talk about how astrology is hard work. I thought numerology was like astrology, but worse because it involved math. And I know it’s cliché, but math is hard. However, Watkins Publishing offered me the opportunity to read “A Practical Introduction to Numerology” by Sonia Ducie and it was a nice, compact little book and I decided, “What the heck!”
I am so glad I did! I feel silly for having avoided numerology for so long. Ducie’s book is so straight forward and well-written. She progresses through the topic in a logical order, making it easy to follow. And as to my concerns about math, I should not have had any! It is simply basic math. Even I can handle it! It is all based on the numbers 1-9.
Ducie explains that her book is based on Esoteric Numerology, which “encourages us to open our minds to intuition so we can contact our inner self or soul and see the bigger picture.” Although she does give a brief description of other forms of numerology such as Chinese Numerology, Vedic Numerology, divinatory, and more.
“A Practical Introduction to Numerology” by Sonia Ducie is the perfect introduction to Esoteric Numerology. This well-written, no nonsense guide, has sparked my excitement for the subject matter.
I was just curious about Numerology, so I picked this book from a nearby library.
Short but densely information.
I only read about my numbers, some are true about myself, which made me want to dive deeper into this field as there might be some other factors that I didn't know / consider.
I received a copy of this book via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
This is a non fiction book all about numerology. It is a quick read and guides you through the basics of numerology. It was easy to read but by no means a perfect book. For example in the introduction it talks about how you can work out your name number and then go on to talk about something different. When I got to the section to actually work out your name number it referred me back to the section that I read in the introduction. Even when I eventually found it I didn’t feel it was explained very well, I ended up googling it to find a better illustration. Despite this I still really enjoyed it.
