Watts, Norma J. The Art of Nameology: Uncovering the Meaning Behind a Name. Belgium, Wisconsin: Champion Press, LTD. 2006 ISBN: 1932783539. The author defines Nameology as “the study of names through the use of numerology.” This book focuses on a niche topic within numerology, the numerology behind personal/first names—and the characteristics and potentials inherent in each letter of the alphabet. She bases her assessments of a name’s numerical value on the Pythagorean alpha-numeric system, so if you prefer the Chaldean or Angelian system, you may differ with the author’s interpretations. What I like about this book is, she shows you how to get a pretty good read on a person’s character, just by their first name alone.
I like her synopsis of the meanings of numbers 1 through 9, and master numbers 11 and 22, and would use it in delineating anyone’s numerological chart. She also helped me understand the role of 0 in numerology better. For those interested in Norma Watt’s Nameology system, I’ve devised a nameology chart, as well as a run-down of the characteristics, both positive and negative, for each letter of the alphabet, which you can employ in filling out the chart. I’ll attach a link to both below. But unless you have this book, the nameology chart and the letters charts will probably make little sense.

So that’s it, my by-no-means-complete bibliography of suggested numerology books. I think they’ll give you a well-rounded picture of the complex and revealing the topic of numerology. This entry concludes what I have to say about numerology. In my next installment: another divination method! At last.
