| | |  Advanced Arithmancy Lesson 1: The Core Review
Professor Shackleton sat behind her desk, twisting her ring around and around her finger, occasionally stopping to stare at the diamond for a moment before resuming the twisting. With a lot on her mind and hundreds of things to plan, she was a bit distracted before the lesson. But she needed to get her head in the game and give her full attention to her students. And she'd do that... just as soon as one showed up.
OOC: This lesson is for 4th-7th year students ONLY. Any students in 1st-3rd year are not permitted to post in this thread. | |

A little flushed over Shackleton’s words (it wasn’t everyday someone told you you made your House proud, after all!), Evangeline caught the Jelly Slug the Professor had threw at her and put it on her pocket. She’d eat it laaaater! Now, it was time to work.
After all, if Slytherin was on the lead points-wise in this class, it ought to remain so. The only problem was her biiiiig name, but work never stopped her before and it wouldn’t now.

Hah! Talk about a big name! Evangeline sometimes dreaded Arithmancy class for fear she'd have to calculate the meaning of all her names, like this class. It was just sooo much. And she could've sworn that all she saw in her names was E's. Eh. Anyway, time to go to the textbook. Pulling the book closer to herself, Evangeline leant in and read what her destiny number said about her.

Speak up, be positive, and encourage. It was hard trying to understand what that meant when Plymouth was being so obnoxiously LOUD and the Prefect frowned at him. Hmpf. Him? Headmaster? HAH! She'd sooner see Kazimeriz dancing the waltz with Truebridge in the middle of the Great Hall, she was sure.
Oh, but back to the numbers!
OOOOOOOH! That made sense! Being a Prefect and all, Evangeline needed to encourage others! And the numbers were at her favour, it seemed. Yay! |

9+3+6=18=9 Working out that his destiny number was nine, provided he'd done the math correctly that was, Reid flipped through the textbook to find the page on destiny numbers. Stopping on it his eyes scanned the page until he found the number he was after. Quote:

Reading over it Reid wasn't entirely sure if he agreed, although it did seem to kind of match up with his lifepath number. Still he wasn't sure of that. But even if it wasn't entirely correct he could at least relate the end part to his life path number.

Miles sighed, so many numbers! But still, he began to write out his name ...
M I L E S
4 + 9 + 3 + 5 + 1 = 22
2 + 2 = 4
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
V I N C E N T
4 + 9 + 5 + 3 + 5 + 5 + 2 = 33

7 + 1 + 9 + 2 + 5 + 9 = 34
3 + 4 = 7
4 + 6 + 7 = 17
1 + 7 = 8 "Right." Miles breathed, he was glad that he'd finished all of that adding up. Phew. He flicked through the pages of his open textbook to read the explanation. Geez, what insults would it come up with now? Worlds doormat. Pfft.

Get out there and be the masterful leader you were born to be. "YEAH!" Miles raised his hands up in the air, as if the explanation was a prep speech, though lowered his arms rather quickly as he had probably made a fool out of himself. He needed to get out there and become the leader he was born to be! He could do that ... hmm ... | |

Originally Posted by lemondrop13  Professor Shackleton posted the following on the board while the students took notes:
"Please read the instructions on the board and calculate your own Destiny Number. It is easy to make mistakes in adding all the numbers from your name together. I know - I've made mistakes myself! For this reason, be sure to check your addition more than once!
"You can read the meaning of your Destiny Number in the textbook. If you're really interested, you can also look to see if your Destiny Number is a Karmic Number (10, 13, 14, 16, or 19), though you're not required to do so.
"Again, the two main things to remember - add each name separately. Each name in your birth name has meaning and it's important to preserve the number of each name. Also, once you know each name's number, reduce them and add across. You may begin."
Professor Shackleton remembered something she wanted to write down, so she hurried to her desk and made a note. Afterward she announced, "Oh, and a bit off-topic, though I'm sure you're interested, so far house points have been awarded to Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin, with Slytherin taking a clear lead. Who's gonna step up their game?" Professor Shackleton smirked as she jokingly teased the students. Daniel studied the writings on the board, ignoring the compliments made by the Professor regarding house points given to other houses except Gryffindor.
He then took a fresh parchment and wrote his whole name Quote: Daniel Robert James Kaiser He then looked at the instructions. Quote:
Steps for Finding your Destiny Number
1. Write out your birth name and assign the appropriate numbers to each letter.
2. Add each name separately; you may get a double-digit sum.
3. Reduce any double-digit sums you get for each name to its single-digit root number, but take note of any double-digit sums that equal a Master Number or Karmic Number. (NOTE: We will not be studying Karmic Numbers this term, but you should be aware of their potential existence within the calculations of the Destiny Number.)
4. Add the reduced numbers for your first, second, and third names together. (If you have multiple middle names, be sure to include those too!)
5. Reduce the double-digit sum to a single root number - unless your result is a Master Number (11, 22, or 33).
He then started to flip his textbook towards the Pythagorean Number system.
And wrote the assigned numbers for each letter of his name. Quote:
D A N I E L
4 1 5 9 5 3
4+1+5+9+5+3=27
2+7=9
R O B E R T
9 6 2 5 9 2
9+6+2+5+9+2=33
3+3=6
J A M E S
1 1 4 5 1
1+1+4+5+1=12
1+2=3
K A I S E R
2 1 9 1 5 9
2+1+9+1+5+9=27
2+7=9
9+6+3+9=27
2+7=9
Well, that was dramatic. That long name is really taking Daniel's mathematical abilities to the test. He was glad he had finished it readily. He then flipped the pages of the textbook and looked for the meaning of his Destiny Path. Quote:
Originally Quoted from the Textbook
NINE (9): Your path will lead you to understand the interconnectedness of all things. It's a path of universal love that learns compassion and tolerance. Once you've learned this lesson, you'll move on to the next phase - tolerance for all and the importance of caring for each other. You're a born healer and your healing may take the form of writing, composing, painting, or sculpting - reaching others by truly connecting to them. You'll be learning how to let go, to surrender the self for greater good. Career/vocation options include the arts, international business, education, and health - any line of work designed to help, heal, or humanize.
Daniel smiled so happily. He raised his hand, "Professor, the numbers are telling me that one day I may be a healer or a teacher or an artist." he scratches his chin and continued, "I can be a Professor here at Hogwarts and then writes a book." he said without wiping the grin from his face.

Nancy gave the boy she'd been working with a short shrug, as Professor Shackleton continued her lesson, and picked up her quill to scribble down some notes which she thought essential. Destiny Number... Nancy glanced up at the board to read the instructions on how they were supposed to calculate their Destiny Number.

3+2=5 Now her Destiny Number was 5...or was it? Nancy bit her lip as she looked back up at the result she'd gotten for her last name. 11 was one of those Master Numbers now, right? Was she still supposed to reduce it to 2 like she had done? Tentatively raising her hand Nancy said, "Uhm...Professor Shackleton...I think my Destiny Number is 5, I'm not sure though. What if I got a Master Number up there when I calculated the number for my last name? Am I supposed to reduce it anyway?"
While Nancy waited for the professor to answer her question she flipped through her textbook in search for the meaning of the Destiny Number 5.

When asked about stepping up the points, Karma raised her hand.
"Well Professor Shackleton, give us a few more questions and Ravenclaw will be ahead," she said, smirking.
Ahh, enough rivalry. Time to WORK.
Okay. Time to get busy with this.
Flip the pages, flip flip flip - ahh. Pythagorean Number System.
Hmm. She had never gotten THAT number before. Now, to find out what the book said.
She was inspirational? That looked uplifting.
"Professor, does the work seem right so far?" Chewing a jelly slug in time with the click of her heels, Professor Shackleton made her way down to Karma's desk. She eyeballed her parchment and reported, "You're done your calculations quite well, Ms. Atkins. How about a jelly slug?" Macadrian quickly deposited one on her desk and headed toward Celandine. Quote:

She began her calculations.
"Oooh..." Celandine read about her destiny number and blinked a few times, mentally trying to see it in relation to her life path number. "Professor? Can you double check my calculations?" Peering over Celandine's shoulder, her long blonde curls falling in front of her, Professor Shackleton explained, "Well, you've added all the numbers for each name correctly, but when you went to find the sum for your entire name you made a small error. Four plus five plus three equals 12, not 11. So your Destiny Number is actually three. Why don't you take a look at what the text offers for that number?" Quote:
Originally Posted by Waterloo Oooh, things seemed to be getitng rather confusing now. Was that just because he hadn't been paying a great deal of attention? Eh. Probably. He didn't seem to be getting ANY attention of Miss Shackleton though.. he'd have to really impress her with his next set of calculations. Right. To work then!
Whoa.. now that was a lot of numbers. After checking over his calculations, Clifford was pretty sure that he'd done thim right. So now.. what did that mean exactly? Textbook time.
Creative? Joy? Gift with words? "Professor," the Head Boy spoke up, hand in the air. "My numbers all seem to say the same kinda thing! I mean, they all tell me I'm creative and stuff!" Wait, that must mean they're right.. right? He had no clue. Professor Shackleton hummed to herself as she walked toward Clifford's desk. While looking over his parchment, Macadrian commented, "Oops. It looks like you made one small error in calculating your last name. The C translates to a three, not a two. So it should add up to twenty-seven and reduce to nine. So, when you add all three names, your Destiny Number is actually a four, which means that you're going to leave your mark in life, a legacy if you will. Clearly you've already begun 'keeping order and decorum' by completing your prefect duties so well. This seems to suggest that we should expect great things from you, Mr. Carden. I'll be waiting to see what those things are." Flashing a warm encouraging smile, Macadrian departed for the next student. Quote:

Plymouth was feeling like.... either doing cartwheels for actually coming up with a number at all - or beating his head on his desk cause numbers were hard. He flipped his book to the right page...
... and then began to laugh at loud. "Line up boys and girls! Line up and receive your wisdom from Plymouth 4 Glenn 7 Morgan 5! I'm going to teach the world!" Plymouth was probably being a little loud for class... but seriously... he was EXCITED and though the number 7 sounded more like Copernicus than Plymouth - Plymouth thought he had a thing or two to teach the world.
"Professor Shack? I think your numbers are telling me I'm going to be the Headmaster one day. Just so you know. And when that happens - I'm going to give you raise!" "Headmaster? Wow. Maybe I should retire soon..." Professor Shackleton joked with a wink and added as an afterthought, "And I wouldn't say no to a raise! Quote:

While Nancy waited for the professor to answer her question she flipped through her textbook in search for the meaning of the Destiny Number 5.
Professor Shackleton confirmed, "Yes, you reduce it anyway in order to find your Destiny Number, but you should certainly note the presence of the Master Number in your last name because that relates to the characteristics you've inherited from your family. Of course, we covered that last term so there is no need for us to go over it again now in depth."
Convinced that the students were adequately familiar with the Destiny Number, Shackleton pushed the lesson forward. "OK, everyone. One last note about the Destiny Number before we move on... There is no such thing as a bad number. All of the numbers will lead to success and point the way to your purpose in life. So don't be wishing you had somebody else's number - yours is perfect for you. It takes us many many years to become aware of how this Destiny Number fits us. When we don't like a number, it's often because we're working on the negative aspects of the number and don't like that part of ourselves. But hang in there! There's a lot to learn from these numbers.
"Alright, now the Soul Number. What it is and how do we calculate it?"

Helena recited immediately, The Soul number describes the heart's true wishes and thoughts whether the person is willing to express them outwardly or not. It's calculated using the Pythagorean number system and uses adding and reducing.

Nancy nodded once at Professor Shackleton's answer to her question and with a small smile said, "Thank you, professor. That's what I thought." Yay, she had a Masters Number in her last name. She would have to ask her parents about that. Wee... How exciting.
Then upon hearing the professor's next question Nancy's hand shot into the air as she replied, "The Soul Number...it tells you your secret thoughts and wishes. Like what you really long for." Or something like that. "And I think it's calculated just like the Destiny Number, right?" | |

siiiiiiiiiiigh.
At least that one sorta resounded better.
She raised her hand, "The soul urge number is the one that tells you what you secretly hope and wish for, your desire and that inner driving force behind what you do. You calculate it with the name on your birth certificate, but add together the value of the vowels, each name seperately and then reducing, then the reduced numbers together and reducing to a single root number."

This number says, in your heart of hearts, what you long for and what is your deepest desire. There are times when the Soul Number will dominate your energy, subordinating all other traits and characteristics, even those of the Life Path and Destiny Numbers. There will be other times when this soul energy will lie dormant, possibly repressed by the current situation."
"Now, in what areas do you think people might use what the Soul Number reveals? Think of how you might consider using this information. What might it help you understand?"

"Now, in what areas do you think people might use what the Soul Number reveals? Think of how you might consider using this information. What might it help you understand?" Daniel thinks for a moment and gasped, Soul Numbers reveals the desires of a person. with that in mind, he raised his hand, "Professor, we can use soul numbers to reveal the nature of a person's actions. Why did he do that or why is he like that?" he paused for a moment, "We can answer these questions with the help of the Soul Numbers." he said starting to compute his Soul Number.

Helena looked over at the fourth year who had just answered the proposed question and smiled at him. It was good to see that some of the guys knew what they were talking about in regards to Arithmancy. The stuff they covered usually went way over the average classes' heads. To the guys? It went way way over.

Celandine thought about it for a moment before slowly raising her hand, "I think it can help you understand why you DON'T want to do certain things, even if other people think it sounds great and you shouldn't be complaining about it. Like if someone has an expectation of you? To do something in particular like with a career or something like that, and it doesn't resound well with the information provided by your soul urge number, then it sort of makes sense for you to be a bit unhappy, even if it is on a subconcious level." Celandine tipped her head to one side, wondering if Professor Shackleton would get what she was trying to say.

The Expression/Destiny Number is 2.
TWO (2): Your mission in life is to engender harmony. Your purpose is to seek cooperation, find balance, and be a patient tean player - all to develop your sense of relationship. You need to learn compassion and to be emotionally receptive. Being adaptable and persuasive will bring you closer toward your destiny. You're destined for peacemaking. Go forth and share it. "I would use it when it comes to affairs of the heart. It sounds like this is a number that is controled by my emotions and not my mind. I would also use it to help determine the path I want my life to take." | |

"Now, in what areas do you think people might use what the Soul Number reveals? Think of how you might consider using this information. What might it help you understand?" Shumeeta raised her hand. "It seems like a number more dependent on sentiments and desires than anythin' else, so people might use it when they need to decide between different things. I mean, it can help one prioritize and make certain choices in life. It's what you might use to make big decisions, the 'marriage before career, or not?' type of ones. It could be used in day-to-day activities, deciding what job you want or which academy you want to study in, or if you're ready to leave your dreams for a certain thing, or leave everything to follow a certain dream." She did hope the teacher would get what she was trying to say because she wuz not really sure if she had been clear enough.

Reid raised his hand before answering. "I think that it helps us to differentiate between what we want to do and what we think we should do. Like if you were in a situation where you had to chose between some option I think this number is the one that would urge us to make the right choice for us, and hopefully for others and not just the choice we think we should make to appease someone else. It could also be the number that tells you what dream to follow and when to be brave and go after what you want or who you want." he said, hoping that he was making some sort of sense.

This was one of those moments when teaching was incredibly rewarding. She nearly had goosebumps with all the great answers proposed by her students. She practically exclaimed, "Oh! You all are so good! You've touched on nearly every one of the areas that most people use their Soul Number, which include career decisions, love relationships, any time you want to understand why you feel a certain way, business partnerships. I think the only one you didn't directly mention was family relations, but I think someone may have alluded to it.
"I particularly love how the Soul Number can be used to understand someone else, like a life partner or a business partner or a parent. In business, if you understand the Soul Number of your partner, you can understand what will motivate them and be the driving force behind all their actions because this number gives insight into the inner nature of the person you're dealing with, regardless of how they appear on the outside."
Professor Shackleton picked up her quill and made a note, explaining, "You all gave such great answers. House points for all four houses! Nice work." After finishing her recording, Macadrian turned her attention back to the lesson, "Let's talk about calculating the Soul Urge Number. Celandine already mentioned that we use the vowels in our names to find this number. So all I am going to add is some information about the letter "y." The 'y' is considered a vowel when it is the only vowel sound in the syllable, as in the examples 'Lynn' or 'Pyth-ag-or-as.' But the 'y' is considered a consonant when the 'y' is silent, as in the name 'Britney' where the 'e' produces the vowel sound."
"So, to recap, you add the vowels in each name separately, just like you did with all the letters in the Destiny Number, reduce each if necessary, then add them all together and again, reduce if necessary, unless it is a Master Number. Why don't you all calculate your Soul Numbers, then check the book for what it means. Then you can determine for yourself how well it resonates with your innermost desires. You don't have to share if you'd rather not, as this information can be some of the most private and intimate in Arithmancy."

Happy that his house had received points Reid quickly got down to work on figuring out his hearts desire/soul urge number. Quote:

final number=12=3 He wondered if that had any significance or not. Oh well. Sighing he began flipping through the book to locate the correct chapter once more. Now all he had to worry about is whether or not he was correct in his calculations. Quote:

You often trip over your own enthusiasm, being overtly flirtatious or friendly. Reading over all the information Reid couldn't help but think that it was incorrect. Most of the things that it was saying were completely untrue. It was this fact that really made him doubt his calculations. "Professor can you please come and check my calculations?" Reid asked as he wasn't entirely sure he had done everything correctly and it would be better to know now rather than later.

This class was being FUN! Shackleton was definitely feeling good, which was amazing since the Professor was at her best when nothing was worrying her. It made Arithmancy alot simpler, and with a beam up at the blonde woman, Evangeline started working on discovering her soul urge number.
Quote:
Evangeline
E + A + E + I + E
5 + 1 + 5 + 9 + 5 = 25
= 7
Louise
O + U + I + E
6 + 3 + 9 + 5 = 23
= 5
Leatherby
E + A + E + Y
5 + 1 + 5 + 7 = 18
= 9
E + E
5 + 5 = 10
= 1
Soul Urge Number = 7 + 5 + 9 + 1 =
= 22
OOOH! That was a Master Number! Evangeline was sure this was the first time one of her numbers turned out to be a Master number! How exciting. Hehe. With a tiny weeny bounce on her seat, she pulled the textbook closer to her and read what the soul number said about her. EEE!!
Quote:
Originally Posted by Textbook TWENTY-TWO (22/4): Your deepest deside is to build something tangible that will benefit humanity and will live on after you. You are capable of bringing about magnificent reforms while also bringing spiritual understanding through your leadership. You are the futurist who will leave this Earth having achieved substantial material security. In matters of the heart and friendship, you are cautious like the 4, looking for a mate who is practical, has clear goals, and achieved security. You want to find a companion with whom you can build your dreams. After reading it, her beam had faded away a little bit, mainly with confusion. That sounded like ... WAY too big for her. Though, considering what she wanted for her future, it didn't really. Scratching her chin with the feathers of her quill, Evangeline rose her left hand. "Miss, I think that Soul Urge Number matches my Destiny Number. Both mention my capacity of leadership - it turns out Arithmancy says I have some! - and my desire to do something gooooood in the world." Hehe. She was sure that wanting to win the House Cup fit as something good in the world. I kid, I kid! "And the last part is right too .." She started, her voice unconsciously going to almost a whisper. Her cheeks flushed sheepishly and she glanced at Clifford from the corner of her eyes. "I do want a partner with whom I can build my dreams." EEEEEEEE!!! | |

Vanessa was enjoying this lesson. Yey. After the professor finished explaining about the soul urge number, Vanessa picked up her Quill, and began to worek out her number out.
Quote: Vanessa
A + E + A
1 + 5 + 1 = 7
= 7
Alexus
A + E + U
1 + 5 + 3 = 9
= 9
Corbette
O + E + E
6 + 5 + 5 = 16
1 + 6 = 7
= 7
7 + 9 + 7 = 23
2 + 3 = 5
Soul Urge Number = 5 After doing her calculation, Vanessa checked it over, befoe reaching for her text book to see if the number had any significance. Opening it to the right page, she looked down the text till she came to the number 5
Quote:
FIVE (5): Your primary desire is to be entirely unrestricted, followed closely by a passion for travel and change. You can't stand to feel confined or lulled by routine. You love to experience variety and the stimulation life can offer. In matters of the heart and friendship, you are exquisite and extraordinary, adventurous and ready to risk. But most of all, you crave variety.
Vanessa smiled to herself as she read the description. That did kind of suit her, especially the bit about being ready to risk. But she wasnt too sure if she was actually extraordinary. She was just like any other person really. But then maybe other people thought that she was extra ordinary. Raising her hand a little, she smiled at Professor Shackleton, before speaking. "Well...I think my soul urge number...kind of matches my innermost desires...I mean...I do want to experiance variety, and I think that is what may make me adventurous...Although I dont feel I'm extraordinary...but that might just be my own opinion.

Okay. VOWELS. Quote: C E L A N D I N E

5 + 1 + 9 + 5 = 20

2 + 7 + 1 = 10
= 1
ONE (1): You want to lead more than anything and may want to control others too. You do not like being subordinate or taking orders. 1 Soul Numbers are often ambitious, independent, headstrong, and willful. You stay away fom teams, committees - and mediocrity. In matters of the heart and friendship, everything is great when the object of your affection/friendship lives up to your expectations. You expect that person to be as charming, clever, and independent as you are. You may seem cold or distant but it is only because you are protecting yourself.
Celandine raised her hand, "Professor? This doesn't sound like me at all! I... don't think?" She stared at the words, "Am I... cold and distant?"
Good burn, Arithmancy, good burn.

Those were the thought of Daniel as he wrote what the Professor was saying. He then grabbed his parchment and started to calculate for his Soul Number. Quote:
D A N I E L
A I E

1+9+5=15
1+5=6

A I E
1 9 5
1+9+5=15
1+5=6
6+2+6+6=20
2+0=2 Daniel then checks the Soul Urge Numbers chapter. Quote:
TWO (2): Above all else, you want harmony no matter what it takes. You can't tolerate conflict and thus, don't want to lead. You want peace and to be supportive. You are useful as a negotiator or arbitrator because you are sensitive to others and can make them feel good about themselves. You can speak the truth in a manner that causes one to feel supported instead of demoralized. In matters of the heart and friendship, giving is what you do best, sometimes too much so. Your appreciation of others can make you forget about yourself! Criticism can hurt you to the very core. Always happier paired than alone, you are the most devoted companion.
Daniel scratches his chin and then raised his hand, "Professor, if this is 100% accurate, Now I know why I hate conflicts." he said smiling while looking at the textbook.

So, when you add all three names, your Destiny Number is actually a four, which means that you're going to leave your mark in life, a legacy if you will. Clearly you've already begun 'keeping order and decorum' by completing your prefect duties so well. This seems to suggest that we should expect great things from you, Mr. Carden. I'll be waiting to see what those things are." Flashing a warm encouraging smile, Macadrian departed for the next student.
Wow. There he was trying to get everything perfect and impress Miss Shackleton.. when he'd gone and done it WRONG! His mistake was stupid too. BLEH! So his Destiny Number was actually a four.. okie dokie. The Head Boy flushed at his stupidness, but that smile he recieved.. and were does compliments? Yup, they made him feel all better again. Siiigh.
"I'll get my Soul Number done good and right, ma'am," Clifford nodded with a grin as quickly, he leaned over his parchment. Alrighty then.

Pssh, he hoped he'd gotten it right this time.. and he hoped seven was NICE.
Quote:
SEVEN (7): You are an emotional hermit and rarely show your feelings. You may even prefer your own thoughts to the company of another. You prefer solitude, the lure of silence, and peace. In matters of the heart and friendship, your thoughts will probably be kept secret, as will your beliefs and eccentric lifestyle. You pair best with another 7 soul - another sensitive person, often in possession of highly developed skills of perception.
A frown formed on Clifford's forehead the more he read. "WHAAA?" He thought out loud, nose wrinkling. "Emotional hermit!?" Baah, Evangeline's had sounded WAY better than his. Sniffle. "Professor, I think I must've added it up wrong again!" Baah.

Helena quickly wrote on her paper the necessary information:
Quote:

ANNETTE
AEE
1+5+5 = 11/2
CRAWLEY

1+5 = 6
2+2+6 = 10
1+0 = 1
Glancing over her work, Helena had a question before she proceeded to look up the information on her given soul number. Her pale hand rose in the air. Professor? I was wondering if its of any significance that my first and middle names both add up to a master number?

"Grrr." Miles gritted his teeth once he had ead only the first sentence. Seriosuly, this textbook was SO mean to him! Why him? Sigh. He continued to read as it told him he liked his own thoughts rather than the company of others, and how he was all secretive an stuff. "Hmm. Well it's right about the sensitive, unfortunately." Miles mumbled. And then he read that he's best paried with another 7 soul. He glanced up at Vannie, hopefully she was a 7 too. PLEEAAASE! | |
