Have you ever wondered why some numbers repeat throughout your life? Now is your chance to find out at Mystic Mondays: Intro to Numerology on Monday, Nov. 16 from 6-8 p.m. in the Mansion Library.

In this lively and informative class, Llewellyn Worldwide author Charlie Rainbow Wolf will teach you what the different numbers mean when it comes to their significance in your life and the lives of those close to you. You’ll learn about your life path number, your soul path number, your heart’s desire number, and more!

The study of numerology is rich and thick and—unlike astrology—it doesn’t matter if you know your exact time of birth or not! It’s the combination of the name you were given at birth, the name you use now, and the date of your birth that make you unique individual that you are! Want to take a deeper look? Grab a notebook and pen and join us for this fun class. Let’s unlock the secrets of your numbers!
