The book is heavily illustrated with both drawings & graphics, which is the only way I can make sense out of math for myself. Surely I’m not the only one who feels this way?! I wrote this book because I wanted more than I was finding in many other numerology books: More information, more details, more non-mathematician explanations, many more ILLUSTRATIONS and a hell of a lot more fun!
You’ll see links above to the worksheets created for some of the chapters (more are in the works). Despite the word “work”, these are generally playful ways of getting a more personal connection with the ideas in that chapter.
Many of the activities are suitable for use with children, as a way to create interest in number-concepts without making a big scary math-deal out of it.

“Often, their motivation was metaphysical: A large portion of math history traces back directly to the earliest astrologers, who needed to be able to describe and record what they saw in the night sky…
“What you’ll find in this book are some of the many things our distant ancestors knew and used, based on long generations of seeing and absorbing, based on sky-watching, on folk knowledge, on myths and on ever-more-complex calculations…
“Our starting point may seem like a Zero. But for now, before looking at numbers and math, let’s simply see it as a circle. No matter what our spiritual practice, we each live within the circle of creation, each within the circle—the cohesiveness—of our own form...”
