A word about numerology:
In
TRANCE, numerology weaves throughout the plot. Numerology is the study of numbers, and how their power, or "vibrations", help define our personalities, futures, and life paths. During this party, our guest authors will have their numbers "done" using the Chaldean system of numerology. (This is the system used by the characters in TRANCE.)
The number values assigned to each letter under the Chaldean system are slightly different than the number values assigned under the more common Pythagorean system. For one, the number nine is held sacred by the Chaldeans. Therefore, no letter is assigned to the number nine.
Also, under the Pythagorean system, all number readings are "reduced" to single digits. The Chaldeans believed that double digit, or "compound" number values were important as well, and so they have been included in the numerological readings.
And now, without further ado... let's Party!
