I Was Born into Numbers
While most kids learned from teachers,
I was learning from energy itself - absorbing ancient wisdom, numerology, and esoteric truths at home.
The hum of digits, dreams, and destiny became the language of my upbringing, the rhythm of how I came to know the universe.
My father, the founder of Double Red Publishing, lived and breathed the world of numbers, horoscopes, and dream books.
In our home, these weren’t merely tools of trade - they were sacred language, the rhythm our lives moved to, and the stars that guided our way.
He was a numerologist - a philosopher of frequency - who believed the universe speaks through pattern and vibration.
Our home overflowed with dream books, yearly lottery almanacs, horoscope star scrolls, lucky rabbit’s feet, and mojo bags for money drawing and jinx removing. Mystical and esoteric knowledge wasn’t just studied - it was lived.
We also sold tarot decks and other divination tools, which fascinated me from a young age.
I would spend hours tracing the symbols, colors, and archetypes - not realizing that this early introduction to divination would shape the foundation of my spiritual path.
The Farmer’s Almanac sat beside tarot cards and astrology charts - all part of my father’s daily ritual of aligning with universal timing.
I didn’t realize it then, but I was growing up in a living classroom of mysticism and esoteric history - a home where energy and destiny intertwined.
My father taught me that numbers aren’t random - they are the divine signatures of vibration itself.
Numerology & Energetic Vibrations
Numerology is the study of the Law of Vibration - a sacred science developed so that humanity might gain a deeper knowledge of itself, release limitation, and move toward the full realization of divine potential.
Ancient scientists and philosophers perfected this method of interpreting the soul’s psychic vibrations.
Through numerology, we record and translate these vibrations into numerical values - each number carrying its own frequency, rhythm, and spiritual signature.
The universe loves to guide us through numerical synchronicities - gentle reminders that vibration, energy, and frequency are the very essence of life.
Modern science now echoes what the ancients always knew: everything is vibration.
From a grain of sand to a distant star, from the hum of a whale to the pulse of your own heartbeat - all life moves in resonance with divine energy.
Every vibration is unique and measurable, and when expressed in numbers, reveals patterns of harmony and meaning.
This is the science of numbers - a living dialogue between the seen and unseen, matter and spirit.
All vibration flows from the threefold divine current - Life, Intelligence, and Love - the sacred trinity of creation.
Science has already uncovered the vibrations of light, color, sound, and electricity, but the mystic knows these same currents form the subtle fields around us: the aura, synchronicities, and the sacred geometry of our experiences.
The Legacy of Dream Books & the Street-Numbers Tradition
For generations, people have sought meaning in dreams and numbers.
From Harlem’s street-numbers game of the early 1900s to the modern lottery, players have used symbols, visions, and intuition to divine what numbers might “come out.”
Dream books, almanacs, and number dictionaries became cultural icons - bridging spirituality, folklore, and the mathematics of luck.
Titles such as The Three Wise Men Almanac, Red Devil Numbers Almanac, and Grandpa’s Almanac translated dreams like black cat, river, or snake into digit combinations believed to carry prophetic resonance.
They combined numerology, astrology, and folk magic into accessible guides for anyone seeking a little cosmic insight at the corner store.
What makes this history deeply personal is that these very dream books are now part of my own lineage.
The company my father created - Double Red Publishing - still publishes and distributes these classic titles today, one of the few remaining publishers keeping this tradition alive.
Carrying this legacy forward feels like both inheritance and devotion.
I grew up surrounded by presses, ink, and pages filled with planetary tables and sacred numbers.
Now I steward that tradition, honoring my father’s belief that numbers are more than chance — they’re frequency made visible.
Street Numbers, Dreams & Divine Mathematics
Before the state lottery ever existed, there was the numbers - a game of chance, intuition, and belief that lived in the heartbeat of communities.
It was more than gambling; it was economy, ritual, and hope - especially for Black families who were shut out of traditional systems of wealth and opportunity.
The street-numbers game, often called policy, began in Harlem in the early 1900s, where entrepreneurs and dreamers created a system rooted in community and mathematics.
Numbers were chosen from dreams, symbols, and intuition - a spiritual code of daily life.
People played numbers that came to them in sleep, through songs on the radio, or from street signs that caught their eye - trusting the universe to speak in digits.
From Harlem, the tradition traveled through the Great Migration to cities like Detroit, Chicago, and Pittsburgh, becoming woven into Black culture and independence.
In these neighborhoods, the numbers business built an underground economy of self-determination.
Bookies, runners, and bankers - often women - circulated money within their communities.
They paid rent, funded churches, covered medical bills, and sent children to college.
Writers like Bridgett M. Davis tell stories of women such as her mother, Fannie Davis, who ran numbers in Detroit for more than three decades - creating stability, dignity, and opportunity when few doors were open.
For many, the daily ritual of “playing the number” was more than a bet - it was communion.
Dreams, intuition, and memory met in a simple act of belief - translating the unseen into the measurable.
People would flip through dream books like The Three Wise Men Almanac or Red Devil Dream Book, finding the numbers for a snake, a wedding, or a conversation with a loved one who’d passed.
It was divination in plain sight - the collective imagination at work.
And that’s where my story threads in.
My father - a numerologist and publisher - helped keep that sacred lineage alive through Double Red Publishing, the company behind many of those dream books and almanacs still in circulation today.
The press didn’t just print paper; it carried forward a culture - the belief that destiny speaks in symbols, that numbers are prayers in code.
Growing up, I didn’t just see ledgers and ink - I saw faith made tangible, hope made numeric.
Even now, when I shuffle a tarot deck or feel into the vibration of a healing session, I can hear that rhythm - the pulse of belief, probability, and divine pattern.
The numbers taught me early what I still know to be true:
the universe is mathematical and mystical all at once - and sometimes, the divine speaks through digits.
From Numerology to Divination & Energy Healing
Growing up surrounded by numbers shaped how I came to understand energy, intuition, and the rhythm of life itself.
To me, everything - emotion, light, sound, and thought - is vibration.
Just as certain numbers harmonize while others create tension, our energetic fields can resonate or fall out of tune.
Tarot became the next evolution of my learning - a language of archetypes, symbols, and stories that mirrors the subconscious mind.
It taught me how to listen between the lines of energy - to read not only cards, but the subtle shifts within the human spirit.
When I began exploring Reiki, Sekhem, and other forms of energy healing, I instantly recognized the same universal pattern: frequency seeking balance.
Healing became another form of numerology and divination - an alignment of body, mind, and soul with the larger rhythm of creation.
Sekhem – The Egyptian Current of Divine Power
Sekhem, the “power of powers,” descends from the temples of ancient Egypt and the energy of the lioness goddess Sekhmet - the fierce healer whose solar fire transforms and renews.
During my own healing journey, as I searched for natural ways to restore balance, I was called to Egypt through meditation.
Synchronicities appeared everywhere - dreams, symbols, even song lyrics - guiding me to study Sekhem energy healing.
It felt as if Spirit were breadcrumbing me back to an ancestral current already pulsing in my lineage.
Where Reiki is soft and flowing, Sekhem often feels radiant and catalytic - a golden current awakening deep remembrance within the soul.
Energy, Alignment & Spiritual Coaching
Today, my work weaves together the legacy of Double Red Publishing, the mysticism of numerology, the symbolism of tarot, and the practice of energy healing into one holistic path.
As a Certified Spiritual Life Coach, I help others uncover their unique energetic blueprint - teaching them how to listen to intuition, regulate emotion, and return to alignment through awareness and self-reflection.
I see clients not just as physical beings but as living equations of light - patterns of energy and consciousness constantly seeking resonance.
When I guide a healing, tarot reading, or coaching session, I still feel my father’s influence - his voice reminding me that numbers never lie and that the universe speaks fluently in frequency.
To honor that truth is to live in alignment - to see that the same force that governs a heartbeat governs the stars, the lottery, the tarot spread, and the pulse of love itself.
Final Reflection
Energy, numbers, and intuition are all languages of the same Source.
Whether through a healing session, a tarot spread, or a dream book, what we’re truly doing is aligning with possibility.
The universe is a field of living vibration and each of us, a note within its eternal song.
When we learn to listen, we don’t just predict our future - we participate in it.
