Minerva walked into the study room. It seemed busier then the last time she was there. That was good that meant more Puffs were cracking down this term. It was showing by their points. She found a seat and opened her book to the page she needed.
Arithmancy Chapter 2:

Chapter Two: The Pythagorean Number System


There are currently two major branches/methods of practicing Arithmancy in existence – the Pythagorean (Agrippan) Method and the Chaldean Method. The major distinction between these systems is the presence of the number 9. While the Pythagorean System uses the number 9 to represent letters, the Chaldean System excludes this number completely. We will be working with the Pythagorean Method ONLY.

In the Pythagorean Number System, the letters A-Z are assigned numerical values 1-9 as follows:

1---2---3---4---5---6---7---8---9
A---B---C---D---E---F---G---H----I
J---K---L---M---N---O---P---Q---R
S---T---U---V---W---X---Y---Z

The numbers 1 through 9 have definite, unique, symbolic meanings that correspond to the evolution of a person’s life:

1. Beginning
2. Connecting
3. Creating
4. Building
5. Changing
6. Nurturing
7. Reevaluating
8. Expanding
9. Completing

Minerva pulled out her parchment and began to write.
