I look at numerology readings the same way I look at Myers-Briggs &#8220;readings&#8221; &#8212; and I know of churches who use Myers-Briggs tests in their classes, so probably not any supernatural there. The only supernatural in numerology is what <em>you<\/em> place there. If the number 3 means Expansion (by common acceptance), then where does the supernatural come into play? <em>(Spoiler: It doesn&#8217;t.)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Bible says don&#8217;t talk to the dead &#8212; numerology doesn&#8217;t even glance that way. And the Bible says not to do fortune-telling. Numerology doesn&#8217;t do that any more than someone knowing that walking through a busy intersection without looking will be a bad thing &#8212; that&#8217;s not furtune-telling. Could someone say they&#8217;re going to tell a fortune with numerology? Yep. But I also know of a guy who tells fortunes by looking at belly buttons. That doesn&#8217;t mean you should cut yours out because it&#8217;s of the occult.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Lo Shu Deck<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"263\" src=\"https:\/\/jayjennings.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/LoShuDeck-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-949\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jayjennings.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/LoShuDeck-1.jpg 400w, https:\/\/jayjennings.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/LoShuDeck-1-300x197.jpg 300w, https:\/\/jayjennings.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/LoShuDeck-1-195x128.jpg 195w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The deck is comprised of 25 cards showing the number meanings and arrow meanings in a Lo Shu magic square reading. (Plus, a few miscellaneous cards.) I created the deck as a set of flash cards to help me remember what the numbers and patterns of Lo Shu mean, and then realized they could actually be used as part of the reading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And that meant a person could start giving readings much sooner than normal, because the cards act kind of alike a &#8220;cheat sheet&#8221; for remembering what things mean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over the summer I mentioned the deck a couple places and sold a dozen or so &#8212; now I&#8217;m gearing up to try and do a decent size launch and get the word out there. Hoping for a launch the last part of November, 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;ve had a lot of fun giving readings to people &#8212; and have even done a bunch via video since things aren&#8217;t really back to normal yet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Many moons ago I hinted about a new product I was coming out with.
