In episode 155 of the Magick & Alchemy podcast, hosts Kate Belew and Kristin Lisenby delve into the realm of sacred numbers. In this conversation, two word witches consider numerical languages, the branches of numerology, and the origin of Angel Numbers. They contemplate the mystery cult of Pythagoras, math as a form of poetry, and numbers as ‘entities, archetypes, and symbols.’
