Numerology : Number 9 in Arithmetic, Geometry and Symbolism

The number 9 has certain curious arithmetical properties which have been observed, studied and noted by ancient and modern shamans, mystics, metaphysicians, mathemeticians, philosophers and others.  To a numerologist and someone who uses Playing (Destiny) Cards and/or Tarot Cards for divination, the role that the numeral 9 plays in these systems, in geometry (sacred and in the "universal blueprint") and in the symbolism that is firmly embedded in the human psyche, is particularly intriquing.  For the record, I will say that in the Playing (Destiny Card) divination system, my Birth Card is the 9 of Clubs and my Planetary Ruling Card is the 9 of Spades.

The 9 in Geometry

The notion that the design and structure of the entire Universe is based on geometry becomes more compelling as one progresses through the study of numbers, the geometrical shapes that form our physical world, and the ever-present symbols that have incorporate the shapes:

"God geometrizes continually" ~ attributed to Plato by Plutarch

"God arithmetizes" ~ Johann Carl Friedrich Guass, German mathematician

It is my personal belief that geometry does, indeed, give us the blueprint for the Universe and this belief lends itself to my abiding interest in the function of numbers.  From a numerological point of view, the numeral 9 is one of those numbers that plays a curious role in geometry (I have included examples of some of the symbols in which each geometric shape is used):

• A circle has 360 degrees (3 + 6 = 9)
• Sun Sign, Yin Yang, The Monad, Ouroboros, Pa Kua, Tomoe (Fire Wheel), Tiratana, Pax Cultura, Peace Sign, Theosophical Society Seal, Pentacle, Seal of Shamash, Seal of The Knights Templar, Sacred Chou (Shou), Sigil of Ameth, Triple Goddess, Triquetra, Yantra, Zia Pueblo Sun Symbol, Celtic Cross, Sun Cross Symbol, Dharma Wheel, Wheel of Life, Cosmogram, Enso, Dreamcatcher, Enneagram, Medicine Wheel, Seed of Life
• A triangle (3-sided polygon) has three angles of 60 degrees each for a total of 180 degrees (1 + 8 = 9)
• Great Seal of The United States, Cancellarius Seal, Freemasonry, Scientology Symbol, Valknut, Triquetra, Yantra, Enneagram, Sigil of Lucifer
• A quadrilateral (4-sided polygon), including the square, rectangle, rhombus, parallelogram, trapezoid and kite, has four angles of 60 degrees each for a total of  360 degrees (3 + 6 = 9)
• Cross, Crucifix, Inverted Cross, Inverted Crucifix, , Saltire (St. Andrew's Cross), Star of Lakshmi, Endless Knot, Rosy Cross, Rub el Hizb 
• A pentagon (5-sided polygon) has five angles of 72 degrees each for a total of 360 degrees (3 + 6 + 9)
• A pentagram (5 pointed star figure) and a pentacle (5 pointed star figure enclosed in a circle) each has five angles of 108 degrees (1 + 8 = 9) for a total of 540 degrees (5 + 4 = 9)
• Druze Star, Blazing Star (Freemasonry), Pentagram, Inverted Pentagram, Pentacle, Sigil of Ameth, Order of the Eastern Star Seal, Star and Crescent
• A hexagon (4-sided polygon) has six angles of 120 degrees each for a total of 540 degrees (5 + 4 = 9)
• The hexagram (or 6 pointed star figure) is composed of two equilateral triangles, with a total of six angles of 60 degrees each, for a total of 360 degrees (3 + 6 = 9)
• Star of David (also called the Jewish Star or Seal of Solomon), Merkabah (Merkaba), Anahata (Heart Chakra), Messianic Seal, Theosophical Society Seal, Raelian Star, Sigil of Ameth

Multiply Any Number by 9 and You Get a ... 9

The number 9, when multipled by itself or any other number, will always reduce back to the number 9:

• 1 x 9 = 9
• 2 x 9 = 18 --> 1 + 8 = 9
• 3 x 9 = 27 --> 2 + 7 = 9
• 4 x 9 = 36 --> 3 + 6 = 9
• 5 x 9 = 45 --> 4 + 5 = 9
• 6 x 9 = 54 --> 5 + 4 = 9
• 7 x 9 = 72 --> 7 + 2 = 9
• 8 x 9 = 81 --> 8 + 1 =9
• 10 x 9 = 90 --> 9 + 0 = 9
• 15 x 9 = 135 --> 1 + 3 + 5 = 9
• 517 x 9 = 4653 --> 4 + 6 + 5 + 3 = 18 --> 1 + 8 = 9
• 2349 x 9 = 21141--> 2 + 1 + 1 + 4 + 1 = 9

Subtract the Reverse of Any Number from Itself and You Get a .... 9

Any number, no matter how large or small, will always reduce to 9 if the reverse of itself is subtracted from the original number and the result is then numerologically reduced:

• 517 - 715 = -198 = -18 = -9
• 2349 - 9432 = -7083 = -18 = -9
• 98347 - 74389 = 23985 = 27 = 9

And, so, just from the foregoing three examples, it is easy to see how pertinent the numeral 9 really is in our physical world.

Numerology: How a Numerologist Finds and Sees Your Personal Numbers

These days, many internet sites offer free numerology readings.  In many cases, you are asked to provide your birthdate and your name.  In some cases, you are asked to provide just one or the other.  Based on this information, a software program instantly generates a number (usually from 1 to 9) and a description of the personality traits associated with that number.  While this type of "reading" is fun and entertaining, and is valid to a certain but limited extent, it should not, by any means, be considered a true and complete numerological reading as it does not take into consideration all of your personal numbers.

A complete numerological profile of an individual involves the examination of many numbers.  These include what are typically and variously called the Birth Number, the Life Path Number, the Destiny Number, the Life Lesson Number, the Soul Number, the Soul's Urge Number, the Motivation Number, the Inner Urge Number, the Inner Expression Number, the Personality Number and so on and are often expressed as a "final" single-digit number, typically from 1 to 9.

The "final", single-digit numbers are usually obtained by reducing compound numbers which, in turn, are obtained by reducing 3 and 4 digit numbers.  For example, a 4-digit number such as the year 1960 will reduce to the compound number 16 which, in turn, will reduce to the final, single-digit number 7.   In numerology, this delineation is expressed as 16/7.

In order to get an accurate numerological reading, it is necessary to individually examine each digit in this numerical expression.  Furthermore, it is also important to evaluate the order in which the first 2 single digits appear.  Thus, in our example, all three numbers (1, 6 and 7) are considered both severally and as a whole.  However, we must also look at the order in which they appear because each digit has a certain degree of influence based on where it appears in the sequence.   Thus, for example, the final number 7 could be arrived at as follows:  16/7, 61/7, 25/7, 52/7, 34/7, 43/7, 70/7.   To a numerologist, 16/7 and 43/7 hold different clues and meanings.

Finally, an experienced numerologist will not only study the final numbers and their delineations but, during the course of performing the calculations, s/he will also look for, take note of and consider certain patterns, combinations, sequences, repetitions, etc.  For example, the prevalence or absence of particular numbers and the occurrence of Master Numbers.

In numerology, Master Numbers are generally considered to have a vibration that bestows both special gifts and challenges.  Typically, Master Numbers are not reduced to a final, single digit number and are dealt with in a slightly different manner.   As there are different schools of thought concerning Master Numbers, I will address this in depth in other postings.

I would also like to note that the foregoing information is based on the Pythagorean method, which is the foundation for the modern numerology system that is most often used in the West today.  However, when I look at someone's numerological profile, I also often consult other methods, such as the Chaldean system.  I will discuss other numerology systems in future posts.

Are You a Lightworker, Starseed, Indigo Soul, Walk-in ?

I am sometimes asked by others how I know, or what qualifications I have ... that I call myself a Lightworker, Starseed or Indigo Elder.  There is no Harvard, Yale or Ivy League School, or other "respected" and well-known institution, that hands out diplomas to qualify, certify or proclaim an individual as a Lightworker, Indigo Soul, Child or Elder, a Starseed, a Walk-in, and such. 

This is because it is a state of being, not something that one goes to school "to become".  That is not to say that many individuals, from the very first stages of the Soul awakening, do not have much learning to do.  The truth is that, for most of us, the real learning begins with a deep-seated feeling that we are somehow very different from our family, friends, business associates.  Not superficially different, but different at our very core and in a way that is often impossible to describe in words.  This feeling, coupled with a nearly fanatical need to know "how" and "why", most often forms the basis for the first step in the process:  the search to find some reasonable explanation of why we feel so very different.

For me, this search began when I was a child.  When I was about 4-5 years old, one of my aunties showed me the technique of dowsing and it was immediately apparent that I had a natural gift for this particular method of divination.  I was proclaimed by my elder female relatives to have "the gift".  However, at that time, I did not really know what that meant or entailed.

As I was growing up, I noticed how other children and adults would react strangely to me.  Familiar persons and strangers, of all ages initially and always seemed very drawn to me and then, sometimes, I would sense that they suddenly became uncomfortable or even fearful to be physically close to me.  (I did not understand this then, but I have gained new knowledge of it now which I will discuss in a future post.)  Needless to say, I grew up thinking and feeling like I was not only just merely "different", but that I was weird, odd, peculiar, and even somehow abnormal or socially disadvantaged. 

However, that did not stop me, at age 12, from declaring myself to be a vegetarian ~ long before it became popular and part of an alternative, modern lifestyle.  It did not stop me from pursuing my own, "irregular" interests when it was repeatedly suggested by teachers, counselors and such that "it would be more beneficial" if I engaged in activities that were more befitting my age and circumstances. 

From the time of my earliest memories, I was on a mission of self-discovery through numbers, symbols, and the cosmos.  Somehow, deep within my heart, I knew that the answers to my personal inquiries were to be found in the annals of the human experience on Earth and beyond. 

To that end, in my quest for self-knowledge, I turned to numerology, symbology and astrology.   In a future post, I will explain in great detail what I discovered.  For now, I will say that within the deeper meanings of that sacred knowledge ~ those very concepts that have been an integral part of humanity and the human psyche since time immemorial ~ I found my answers and discovered, beyond a shadow of doubt, my soul's purpose in this incarnation. 

And, this is precisely why I am here and you, dear reader, are also here.  You are also searching, studying, learning, refining, connecting and contributing to the expansion of the Great Matrix that is rapidly changing now.  Somewhere deep inside of you, you understand that something very significant is occurring ... and you know that it is accelerating with each day, hour and minute.  And, that with each acceleration, your role and active participation becomes more imperative.  You know that you are meant to be a part of the Great Shift of Consciousness that is nearly upon us.   (And I might add, being facilitated by the internet and social media.)

And, you know that you are destined to not only experience it, you are following your Soul's urge to contribute, aid, foster and nurture it in a loving, meaningful and very important way.  You are here to assist in healing the planet, humanity and usher in the New World.

If you, dear reader, has read this far, then you can be sure that you are an awakened Soul (regardless of label).  Labels are not important to us, although they play a role in our work here on Earth at this very exciting time of humanity's impending evolution.

In Love & Light,

Ascension - How Lightbody Activation Can Play Out in Daily Life

As individuals transit through the various levels of Lightbody Activation, they find themselves observing the more mundane aspects of life from a higher plane.   Those things (objects, events, desires)  that once seemed so imperative or essential to the dense physical body and to the materialistically confined mind are now becoming significantly less important or no longer hold any importance at all.   These observations are not those of a detached, impartial spectator ... they are the transformational outpourings of the evolving soul itself, which then feels strongly compelled to express them in the physical world.  

While each Lightbody experiences the activation process uniquely, the following examples reflect my personal experience and/or have been reported by others: 

Changes in Diet

• The onset of cravings for highly nutritious "pure" food and/or for food in its "purest form".  An example of this would be craving a fresh, raw apple instead of a slice of apple pie ~ which typically contains processed white flour, sugar and perservatives (if store bought) and in which the apple itself (a product of nature) has been processed. 
• An increasing preference for a plant-based (vegetarian) diet, in cases where the lightbody is still consumming animal flesh.
• An increase in appetite, particularly for vegetable protein and wholesome foods.

Changes in Sleep Patterns

During the lower stages of activation, more sleep is often required as the physical body sheds toxins, repairs and heals itself.  During this time, old emotional wounds and past karmic debts are also being resolved and this may affect sleep. 

During the upper stages of activation, less sleep is often required as the requisite emotional healing has taken place, the physical body has been purified, is now being properly nourished and cared for, and is functioning optimally.

Changes in Lifestyle

• A greater need for natural light, which may include more time spent outside in the sunlight as well as bringing more natural light indoors.
• A compulsion to create a harmonic, free and positive energy flowing personal physical space ~ which may result in emotional and sentimental detachment from objects, systematic decluttering, obsessive cleaning, re-arranging of furniture and furnishings, and even moving.  
• An ever-growing desire for quietude and the reduction in background noise.  This most often results in television time being replaced by other activities such as reading, studing, meditating and reflecting.
• A sudden interest in the welfare, safety and plight of humanity, animals, plants, Mother Earth, followed by proactively and frequently bestowing random acts of kindness, and volunterring for charitable or community work. 
• Minor to major changes in the practice of religious or spiritual beliefs.  This could mean going to the usual place of worship (church, temple, synagogue, etc.) more often, or stopping altogether.  Going to a new place of worship.  Or, creating a personal space for worship (such an altar) within the home. 

Relationships

• During lower levels of activation, many lightbodies experience an intense fear of "losing people".  This fear is not always without merit and there may be temporary or permanent changes in important relationships.
• Emotional or physical alienation, separation, divorce, employment severance or business disassociation is not uncommon during any level of the Lightbody Activation.

The foregoing are but a few examples of some changes that can occur in the physical world of the ascending Lightbody.  It is human nature to fear the unknown and, hence, to resist change.  For some, it is a longer and more painful process.  But, there comes a time during the journey that is the turning point ~ when fear is replaced by not just acceptance and courage but by a deep knowing and a profound comprehension of where the soul has been and where it is destined to go in this incarnation.

Angelika

Ascension - Physical Symptoms of Lightbody Activation

Ascension - Physical Symptoms of Lightbody Activation

Last night before falling into blissful sleep, my Spirit Guide came to me and informed that I must share with my readers some of the physical, psychological and spiritual symptoms of Lightbody Activation that I have personally experienced.  This post will concern the physical manifestations.

I must preface by stating that, as an individual transits through the various levels of activations, she/he may or may not experience the same physical symptoms as I have, may experience various other manifestations, and/or may do so with different degrees of intensity.  Here, I write only of my own individual experience.

Also, the information that I present is not to be taken in any form or manner as a medical diagnosis, advise, treatment or otherwise.  If you are experiencing these, similar or other symptoms, you need to promptly seek the advice of a qualified medical professional.

Diarrhea.  Not a pretty or pleasant subject, but one that is reported by many other individuals transiting through Lightbody Activation.  The reason for this is that all of the cells of the physical body must lose a certain amount of "density" so that they can accept more Light and vibrate on a higher frequency.  (This concept is relatively complicated and I will detail it in another post.)   The diarrhea also serves as a method of detoxifying the physical body ~ purging accummulated toxins and passing them through at an accelerated rate.

Obviously, there are much safer and more pleasant ways to detoxify the physical body ~ such as brief periods of fasting.  But, some of us have had no choice in the matter.  I have been through it on three separate occasions during the past 17 years.  It is no fun and it would not have been my choice if I had been given one.  Under no circumstances should anyone try to purposely induce diarrhea ~ whether through the use of drugs, foods or other means.  Prolonged periods of diarrhea poses a tremendous health hazard.  Even brief periods of fasting can pose a health risk to certain individuals.  Always check with your health care professional first!

Skin Rashes and Conditions.  Skin rashes, hives, flaking and similar symptoms are also relatively commonly reported.  This is largerly another result of the detoxification process ~ as some cells expell certain types of toxins through the skin and this can occur anywhere on the physical body.

In my case, I had clusters of tiny red bumps that were heavily concentrated between my eyebrows and that emanated from there to the rest of my face up to my hairline and parts of my neck ~ particularly around and behind my ears.  These bumps were accompanied by flakiness and the peeling of relatively good-sized pieces of skin at relatively rapid intervals.   As you already suspect, dear reader, these bouts of skin eruptions took place at the same time as the diarrhea.

Increased Sensitivity to Light, Touch, Sound, Odors and Temperatures.  Again, another widely reported physical symptom and, in my case, this markedly increased sensitivity expanded in intensity during each of the three bouts and has remained with me, in relation to the increased sensitivity, after each episode.  Although this can be extremely annoying, it is something that one can get used to eventually ~ or at least certain aspects.  

For example, I have learned to always wear layered clothing that I can remove or put back on easily.  However, I still have not mastered socially acceptable ways of dealing with certain other situations  ... like the the smell that arises in the use of animal fat in cooking ... at those times, my only refuge is to escape physically.

Accidents.  I have heard others call it loss of coordination, clumsiness and such.  From my perspective, I can best describe it as a spontaneous, temporary loss of being in touch with physical reality that sometimes results in accidents which, in turn, sometimes cause mild to severe injury to the physical body.  This involves the the concept of multidimensional travel or awareness ~ a topic worthy of its own post.  For now, I will best describe it as taking action upon something that has all of the appearances of being a solid.

Blessed Be ... all of the Lightbodies and Lightworkers who are working individually and collectively in unity to foster the Ascension of all of humanity to a higher consciousness and laying the foundations for the next all-important and magnificent step in human evolution ...


In Love and Light,
Angelika

Playing (Destiny) Cards - Suits and Seasons

In the Playing (Destiny) Card system, as well as in the Tarot deck, the four Suits perform an integral and critically important function.   Not only is it thought that each of the four Suits corresponds to and represents one of the four Seasons, the entire nature of this correspondence is closely linked to humanity dating back to the earliest times.

Of Seasons ....

Since the dawn of time, early man closely observed the unique characteristics of each one of the four Seasons, as such characteristics had a direct impact on his very survival.  To this end,  early man not only learned to cooperate with the flow of the natural annual cycle ~ for example, planting in Spring and harvesting in Autumn ~ but, equally significantly, man also developed a profound respect for nature.

It is believed that this profound respect for nature, the natural processes occurring on Earth and interconnected to the Sun, Moon and Planets, evolved into the earliest forms of religion, whereby man saw the entirety of the Universe as divine.  Recognition and reverance of this universal interconnectedness resulted in certain associations being formed in the mind of early man, which associations have been variously represented by symbols.

These ancient symbols emanated from all corners of the World and, in some respects, are strikingly similar.   They have endured in the human psyche throughout the ages and are worth consideration in the study of the "science" of The Playing (Destiny) Card and Tarot divination systems.

Of Suits ...

A survey of antique and modern playing cards from around the world reveals a common thread in the theme but quite a few differences in style and symbolism.  Insofar as the suits are concerned, with the notable exception of Chinese and Indian cards, four suits in a deck appears to have prevailed throughout history and in different parts of the world.  Hence, the connection of the four suits to the four seasons in the Playing (Destiny) Card system has very strong support and foundation.

As to the actual symbols used to identify each of the four suits ~ here is where we see some differences in both the playing and tarot cards.  The difference in the symbology, both in terms of identification of the suits  as well as other aspects, can largely be attributed to cultural and regional influences.  However, although the symbols may differ, the underlying meanings of the symbols are the same, or essentially the same.  The following is a chart of corresponding seasons, suit symbols and general meanings:

The Playing (Destiny) Card System and The Calendar

The Playing Card Divination System, also called or known as the Destiny Card System, is both beautifully simple and exquisitely complex, tying together numerology, symbology and astrology.  This article discusses one the most important aspects of the System:  its relationship to the calendar.  Worthy of consideration are all of the following correspondences involving the playing cards:

• There are 4 suits in a deck of playing cards, as there are 4 seasons.
• There are 13 cards in each suit, as there are 13 weeks in each season and 13 revolutions of the Moon around the Earth during a lunar year.
• There are a total of 52 cards, as there are a total of 52 weeks in each year.
• There are a total of 12 court cards, whose average value is 12, and as there are a total of 12 months in the year, 12 hours in the AM, and 12 hours in the PM.
• The average value of each card is 7, as there are 7 days in the week, 7 planets, 7 colors in a rainbow.

As can be seen from the foregoing, the Playing (Destiny) Card System has a close relationship to the calendar.  Some scholars have advanced the theory that the cards were originally a time keeping tool ~ i.e., an early calendar.   The annual calendar is, indeed, represented by the Playing (Destiny) Cards as follows:

• 52 (cards) x 7 (average value of each card) = 364 + 1 (Joker) = 365 (Days in a Year)
• 4 (suits) x 13 (cards in each suit) x 7 (average value of each card) = 364 + 1 (Joker) = 365 (Days in a Year)
• 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 9 + 10 + 11 + 12 + 13 (value of individual cards in each suit) x 4 (suits) = 364 + 1 (Joker) = 365 (Days in a Year)
• 365 + 1 (the second Joker in the deck) = 366 (Days in a Leap Year)

As noted above, the Playing (Destiny) Card system is both simple and complex.  As it is my favorite divination tool and forms the basis of many of the readings I perform for my clients, I will be discussing each aspect of the system in depth in this blog.

My Spiritual Journey - Part II (of Names and Numbers)

"Sedona Sky Spirit" by Angelika



I cannot pinpoint exactly when my spiritual journey began in earnest, but I have a strong suspicion that I have been on the Path from the very time I came into body, as the circumstances of my birth are somewhat strange.

My Mother states that one evening she felt that it was time, so she packed a small overnight bag and took the last nightly tram to the hospital.  Upon arrival, she was assigned to a bed and told to rest, as she would need her strength.  At some point, she fell asleep and the next thing she knew, she was awoken by the nurse and told that she had had a baby girl.  This may sound quite remarkable, but even the head of obstetrics had apparently commented that they never seen a birth quite like that.  My Mother tells the story laughingly, although it is quite evident that she is slightly embarassed for essentially not being present for the birth of her first (and only) child.

According to my Mother, also noteworthy was that I was very pale ~ nearly translucent.  Upon seeing me for the first time, my Mother's sister gave me my name ~ a Slavic name meaning "illumination" or "light".   The word "light" has the master number 11 (29/11).  Interestingly, my full name at birth also has the master number 11 (47/11). 

In esoteric numerology, and in very simple terms, persons who incarnate under the number 11 are thought to be "old souls" whose purpose is to find the Light and share it with others.   Hence, my spiritual path and soul's purpose was dictated at birth.  So in a sense, the journey began at birth.  However, I believe I was not fully conscious of my soul's purpose until I started my search to uncover why I always felt so different.

As a note, the name "Angelika" came to me from my Spirit Guide during the Indigo/Crystal transition.  It has encoded within it the Slavic name given to me at birth and means "messenger" (from the Greek "Angeliki" or "Angelos").

I will discuss the significance of names, including adopted names, within the context of numerology in great detail in future posts.

In Love & Light,

Numerology: Life as Seen by a Numerologist

I cannot imagine life on Earth as we know it today without the existence of numbers.  Can you?  I think we all agree that numerals are essential to the functioning of our world and play a critical role in our individual lives and in our society as a whole.   Without a numeral system that we all agree on, there would be utter chaos. 

Like everyone else, I constantly use, process and rely on numerals to provide me with certain information (such as the value of something), keep track of time, balance my checkbook, make phone calls, measure my blood pressure and for countless other purposes.  However, as a numerologist, I constantly and actively look for and note certain numerical patterns, sequences and combinations, even as I perform the most mundane of everyday tasks, like looking for a particular address.

One might say that I "see" everything (places, things, events and even people) in terms of a numerical value.  Put another way, I view the entirety of life (including the past, present and future) in the context of scrolling numerical expressions and symbols ... much like a stock ticker symbol tape!

It is the symbolic significance of any particular numerical value or expression that interests me.   The symbolism that is associated with the individual numerals 1 through 9 as well as the manner in which they combine in a given context is deeply rooted in humanity's spiritual and cultural history from the beginning of time.  

I am convinced that this timeless and enduring symbolism, although sometimes obscure or hidden and not always readily apparent, is ingrained deep within the human psyche and for this reason, many people often and automatically form and then act on certain associations involving certain numerals - whether they do so with full awareness or not.  For example, many people consider the numeral 7 to be lucky and three 7's (i.e., 777) to be particularly so and may act upon this belief  (when gambling for instance) without necessarily knowing why they hold this belief.

In my early studies of numerology, I discovered that knowing and understanding the "why's" was one of the keys to unlocking some of life's mysteries.  Although numerology, in and of itself, is an excellent analysis and predictive tool, it plays a significant role in other trait/personality identification and divination systems (playing cards, tarot, astrology) as I will explain in other posts.

My Spiritual Journey - Part I



Orchid Rendition by Angelika

 In this world, there are no accidents and something has brought you to this page.  Whatever that personal reason may be, you are undoubtedly curious about the person who calls herself "Angelika" and who fills these pages with words that reflect her thoughts, impressions, experiences and channeled messages.

Throughout this blog, I will share aspects of my personal history, spiritual journey, and my life and soul's purpose in the hope that such sharing will foster a connection with you, dear reader.  After all, we are all connected by only a few degrees of separation.

I was born in the Old World into a family with a long history of women healers, intuitives and empaths.  I have been taught that my lineage goes back to before the Burning Times but, of course, as was necessarily the case, the stories of women ancestors who had healing and psychic gifts has been passed down only orally from one generation to the next.  It is a facsinating story ~ one that I am passionate about finally commiting to paper.

From my earliest memories as a small child, I have had an intense interest in anything and everything that could be characterized as supernatural, mystical, mysterious and esoteric.

Presently, through writings, research and other work and activities, I am answering the inner call of an Indigo Elder after carefully nurturing a very strong, life-long interest in and study of various subjects within the philosophical and metaphysical realm.  

Although my interests are quite varied within this sphere, my greatest love and deepest interest lies in the universal language of numbers, the historical and mystical value of ancient signs and symbols, and the significance of archaic secret rituals, rites and belief systems from all corners of the Earth, spanning the ages.  To that end, my expertise is in the playing and tarot card divination systems, both of which incorporate numerology and symbology, as well as astrology.

As a Lightworker, it is my heart's mission to disseminate love and light in the hopes of assisting others in fulfilling their soul's purpose and evolving into their full spiriual potential. 

In Love & Light,
Angelika
