When the name of Antichrist is known its gematria will doubtless be found to be the number 666. This may be the most famous number in the Bible, but it is by no means the only number to be found therein. Number in Scripture provides a complete and exhaustive synopsis of the spiritual significance of every number found in the Bible. This classic reference book on biblical numerology is one of the most famous and helpful reference books on numerology ever written. E. W.  ETHELBERT WILLIAM] BULLINGER (1837-1913) was a Vicar of the Church of England, a Biblical scholar, and dispensationalist theologian. Educated at King's College, London, he was a recognized scholar in the field of biblical languages. In 1881, the Archbishop of Canterbury granted him an honorary Doctor of Divinity degree in recognition of his biblical scholarship. Bullinger also wrote the notes and appendixes of The Companion Bible and is the author of numerous other works including Commentary on Revelation, Great Cloud of Witnesses, and How to Enjoy the Bible.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49569142997265,"sku":"GOR006630722","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51038420271377,"sku":"NIN9781596054509","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1596054506.jpg?v=1751213508"},{"product_id":"early-british-trackways-book-alfred-watkins-9781596054691","title":"Early British Trackways","description":"These¬-if ancient-seem to be invariably on (not merely alongside) a ley, and in many cases are at the crossing of two leys, thus appropriating the sighting point to a new use. -from Churches Were the significant sites of ancient Britain deliberately aligned along an invisible web of power? Or is it a mere coincidence that so many locations associated with worship and arcane knowledge are situated in unique spatial relationship to one another? Self-taught photographer and anthropologist Alfred Watkins was the first to discover the ley lines apparently connecting the churches, megaliths, earthen mounds, holy wells, and other places of power in Britain, and he published his results in this 1922 book. Though he offers no extraordinary explanation of their meaning-except, perhaps, that the leys represent ancient trade routes-others have associated ley lines with UFOs, crop circles, dowsing, and other paranormal phenomena. Long out of print, this foundational work is a vital resource for students of the supernatural. British photographer and amateur archaeologist ALFRED WATKINS (1855-1935) was a fellow of the Royal Photographic Society and served as president of the Woolhope Naturalists' Field Club in 1919.

If no such system existed, it would be impossible to prove the geometrical relations of thought. But this is done daily by those who make use of numbers for purposes of divination. -from Chapter I: Geometrical Relations of Thought Originally published in two volumes in 1913, this classic of the art of numerology builds upon the work of the ancient Greeks, Aryans, and Egyptians to describe the dramatic effect that numbers exert upon the world all around us. Part I introduces numerological theories and practices, including how to read others' thoughts through numbers, predict and influence success and failure, and understand chance events. Part I explores the geometry of nature and how it affects us, numbers that sway human will, and much more. For practitioners of the paranormal arts and those interested in the history of science and pseudoscience, this is a fascinating and essential book.

In the 13th century, Italian mystic Guido Bonatus set down in writing his 146 considerations, or guides for interpreting astrological signs. In 1675, British astrologers Henry Coley and William Lilly published a translated version of Bonatus, along with a selection of oracular advice from Jerom Cardan of Milan in the same volume. And then, in 1886, William C. Eldon Serjeant, fellow of the British Theosophical Society, republished that 1675 work and added his own notes and preface. The layers of history in this work-which is still used by astrologers today-makes it a particularly curious document of the medieval, Renaissance, and Victorian eras all at once.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51305181937937,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51305184166161,"sku":"NIN9781596053335","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/159605333X.jpg?v=1751245541"},{"product_id":"book-of-dreams-and-ghosts-book-andrew-lang-9781596054073","title":"The Book of Dreams and Ghosts","description":"A bocan was not the only inhabitant of the spirit-world that Donald Ban encountered during his lifetime.
