Greetings my friends, I hope this finds you all well, safe and happy. This blog is on a couple different genres than I normally write about and I hope you enjoy them and find them as intriguing as I do.
I more than understand that many, who will see this blog do not believe in Numerology, Angel Card Readings, Mediums and the World of Magic, whatever that world is that one deems as Magic. Therefore, please just pass this blog by and any future blogs about the World of Numbers, Magic and Angels. I will have more about these magical forms of communications on my new Facebook page, website and as I write my new book. I respectfully thank you so much for reading my book reviews, life coaching tips and research posts and hope you stay with me for that content.
Numerology and Astrology
A couple years ago, while researching astrology, numerology kept coming up. Acknowledging the fact that I am addicted to knowing the “What’s up” scenario of many subjects, I set out on the journey of researching numerology. I found that many who practice numerology also pay attention to the alignments of our planetary system, along with one’s date of birth and, how the planets were aligned at the time they were born, just as experienced and trained astrologists have done for centuries.
I know there are those who are not only skeptical but a bit frightened about the use of numerology, astrology and using one’s astrological birth sign as a tool for understanding who they are. I get it and understand it. For a long time, I was a bit leery as well. However, for years the thought of having my numbers calculated kept coming to me and encouraging me to just give it a try.
Through conversations with several colleagues, I found that numerology was a tool many have used with their clients, especially when we spoke about the use of, and teaching of, vision boards for creative and visual goal setting. Through my research, I met a Quantum Numerologist. After a couple years of listening to her podcasts and interacting with her through Zoom conferences, I gave in and had my Numbers and “Divine Purpose Blueprint” calculated for me. If you have ever read your horoscope then you have shown some interest in using these tools for predicting your daily or yearly Life Path.
Through this Divine Purpose Blueprint, I learned that my Life Path number is 7.
“Exploring the mysteries of life gives the 7 path its purpose. These are very inquisitive people with an insatiable need to delve into any topic in search of answers and truths.”
I certainly cannot argue with this description of Life Path 7. This is a solid truth for me I am and will always be a forever student of the Who, What, Why, How, and Where, of living life, as anyone who reads this blog knows!
Keep in mind that Astrology and Numerology are based on two different strategies.
Astrology is studying the movement of planets and their influence on our lives and is related to Astronomy. Numerology is the study of numbers and their influence on one’s life path.
When my husband and I had a husband and wife radio show, one of my segments on the show was to read horoscopes. This became one of the most popular segments of our morning show. A very large number of people are intrigued about the magic of thinking they may know what might come in their future or be warned to pay more attention to their surroundings, thoughts and attitudes. I read the Western Horoscopes and the Chinese Horoscopes, both very popular and if we, for some reason, like a commercial overload, skipped the horoscope segment we received a mass of calls, the phone rang off the hook ( I know I am dating myself as most will not have a clue what it means for a phone to “ring off the hook” LOL…..) until we read the horoscopes. This, of course, was one of my favorite segments to do on our show.

Folklore, Mythology and Angels
I love research and I must say it has led me to some very interesting journeys. I will start on one subject and end up going into a whole different direction from where I started, because of connecting stories to the one I am researching. I have been brought out of my “self – help” world and introduced to the magic worlds of Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit, and superheroes by my kids and grands. My youth was sprinkled with tales of Fairies, Tinkerbell, the Tooth Fairy, Elves, Mermaids, Mermen, Pixies, and Gnomes to name a few. As a child in Missouri, when the fireflies (or lightenin’ bugs as we called them) came out at night, we were told they were fairies lighting our way through the dark.
Then one day I was doing research on Ireland and an article came up about Ireland’s folklore, and yes, off I went into the world of myths and legends.
My first intrigue about Ireland and its stories of fairies was when I saw a movie in 1959 at the age of 12, called Darby O’Gill and the Little People. I loved the leprechauns; however, one scene scared me to no end. A banshee flew across the skies in a horse-drawn carriage letting out a horrible shrieking sound and that’s when I found out it was called a banshee and was considered the Fairy of Death…. Say Whatttt!!!… Oh Yes, not all Fairies are Tinkerbells and even Tinkerbell is known to be mischievous. Check out 10 Most Famous Myths and Legends from Irish Folklore.
“Mythology and Ireland go hand in hand. Irish storytelling has been a staple of our culture since the dawn of time, with songs, tales, and limericks spreading the world as the Irish emigrated.”
Stay safe, be happy and look for the magic in your life .
Hugs,
