Numerology: The Complete Guide: Volume 1: The Personality Reading

Wealth of knowledge and a great reference.

--This book is one of a two volume set. I highly recommend that one buys both. However, if you can only buy one the volume 1 is a must.Numerology : The Complete Guide (Volume 1) by Matthew O. GoodwinI cannot emphasize how strongly I feel that this book can help you in life.I am an IT professional by trade and I am an Intuitive Counselor in my spare time. I use the knowledge gleened from this book daily.You're still not impressed? I have been using this book's information since the 1980's when I first discovered this. I did life calculations on all of my close family and friends. I was amazed. This was better than any astology chart ever made for them. ACCURATE and USEFUL!As a parent, I have saved myself some anguish by guiding my children into their strengths rather than fighting them into a weakness. An example is I have a child with strong 7's and no 3's. (7's are analytical and 3's are creative) She excells at geology and gardening and all things nature bound but cried after a couple of months in music lessons. She was better in music after having her relate the notes to mathmatical function so that she could "figure" them out.You can tell if your boss is a team player by the location of his "2" traits. (2's being teamwork tendencies)I could go on and on but you are probably reading this to determine if you should purchase or even just read this volume. THIS IS A MUST FOR ALL LIFE'S PATHS.This volume cover the general gifts you have received based on the name you were given and then use and your birthdate. It can show you how you change when you have a name change (i.e., a woman marries and takes her husband's name or John calls himself Skip in certain situations).If you would like to plot your life out similar to an astrological life reading, you will need volume 2 by Matthew Goodwin.Numerology : The Complete Guide (Volume 2) by Matthew O. GoodwinI had used this book and its accompanying Volume 1 since the 1980's. For you trying to decide whether to purchase this, my nearly 20 years of experience with this volume is not as effective as my pointing to solid facts:My grandmother is in her 90's so she has had a lot of life lived to this point. I could take her chart, from following the directions in this book, and match it chronologically to major milestones in her life.One such example is that her year 1961 change from 6's and 2's to straight 1's. For the novice, 6's are love and balance traits, 2's are teamwork traits, 1's are independence traits. So what happened in 1961 you might ask... Her loving companion and husband, my grandfather died shy of turning 52. She has been single ever since.I could named hundreds of examples from calculating life readings from this book, but this is simple example to which all can relate.I highly recommend this book and, if you can get it, Volume 1 is must have! Matthew Goodwin truly has made some very valuable tools with his two volume on Numerology.

Very good book but definitely not for a total beginner - because it's an encyclopedia that focuses on creating a numerology chart using various techniques to analyze and breakdown the important and supporting numbers for the individual. Very ideal book for advanced beginners and more serious numerologists who are interested in interpreting a chart in totality. I have not had a chance to get the second volume as it seems to be out of print but I do recommend it for those who do many readings and looking to finet une their analytical skills.

Having done numerology now for many years, I must agree with all previous reviewers. This 2 volume set is the clearest written, most thorough and complete guide to the subject of numerology. It is the book I most refer to when doing readings, and it covers all aspects of the subject.The only drawback the 2 books present to an aspiring numerologist is, paradoxically, its strength: being such a complete guide to the subject, there may a tendency to rotely follow the examples given, neglecting your own intuition when doing a reading. Of course, it is important to "read what the numbers say," but the overall tone of a reading must also come from a connection to source energy through your own intuition. But this is really a trivial point in comparison to the excellence of Mr. Goodwin's work.The 2 volume set comes complete with tables and descriptions for every part of a reading, and Mr. Goodwin has many sample readings which will get you started.Without question, this 2 volume set is the best description of the subject you can find, and should be required reading for any numerologist.

Great content and continues to act as a reference guide to refer to on the matter

Big information, possible it's for to work more deaply for simple things. The volume is bige for beginers, but the information it's realy for beginers who want to know more in detail.

This is a manual I used more than 10 years ago to teach myself Numerology. It is old school so to speak and presented in the purest form. The concepts taught today I find to be less than reliable. Although this is high quality and straight truth it is now out of date because it was written in the 90's so with the turn of the century more information is now available like the Master Number 33 is now in play. This book will give you the basics in what I deem correct terms. However it is NOT user friendly and is far from an "easy read". In fact, I was commissioned to write a manual describing the techniques in an "easier to understand way". I used this guide as my frame of reference. So, bottom line, if you want to learn or want to enhance your knowledge of Numerology then this is a must have manual.

If you’re seriously interested in numerology, you should try to get this book.
