1932 Book of Numbers: Numerology, Astrology, Herbalism, Occult, Magic, Metaphysical Cheiro's

There are over 55 billion pages on the web, and you landed on this book. Maybe you were meant to. A very rare, genuine, date-stamped 1932 (double-edition) edition, now 94 years old and in very good condition (the only 1932 currently listed by any institution). I must note that the front cover has a scratch; however, the covers and spine remains in good condition, and the pages are excellent.

This volume includes two books bound together and is an enlarged revision. Please note that this is not one of the later redos from 1936, 1968, 1977, 1979, 1988, or a modern release; this is the original 1932.

Provenance: Original sold by Wendel & Holmes Ltd, London. It still retains its original bookstore label inside the front cover.

Here are just "some" of the subjects discussed: occult science, numerology, herbalism, planetary influence on herbs, the sacred book, metaphysics, planetary numbers, the Creator, the Cabala, divination, angels, spiritual numbers, your birth numbers, the Bible and numbers, the Seal of Solomon, the divisions of the Zodiac, the hidden meanings of numbers, the seven heavens, thrones, seals, churches, and spirits, the Hindu Bible, the sacred number, mysticism, the divine mind, destiny, the magical numbers, the Egyptian magicians, and more.

"Life is but the child of Mystery—we know not its origin or end. We see "as in a glass darkly" the threads of Destiny weaving the known and the unknown—and we wonder why. We feel there is Design in all things—but it is only in looking back on the past that the wonders of "the pattern" become manifest."

"It is this desire for knowledge implanted in the mind of humanity that places mankind above the animal creation and makes men and women as 'gods' in their desire to know." We are told that Solomon, the King, asked for Wisdom as the greatest gift God could give him. In the ancient Hebrew of the Book of Solomon, we can yet read his inspiring words: I thank Thee, O Great Creator of the Universe, that Thou has taught me the secrets of the Planets, that I mayst know the Times and Seasons of Things, the secrets of men's hearts, their thoughts, nature of their being. Thou gavest unto me this knowledge, which is the foundation of all my Wisdom. It is these self-same "Secrets of the Planets" that I have endeavored to teach in these pages."

"These ancient people, together with the Chaldean, were the absolute masters of the occult or hidden meaning of numbers in their application to time and their relation to human life. When examining such questions, we must not forget that the Chaldeans and Hindus discovered what is known as the precession of the Equinoxes."

This is a genuine and exceptionally rare 1932 printing—the "Star Book" edition. This is the revised and expanded edition of Cheiro's seminal work on numerology, combining the full scope of his teachings into a single, comprehensive volume. It stands apart from the later redos of 1936 onward, the abridged editions of the 1960s–1980s, or modern facsimiles; this is the mature expression of the text as it existed in the final years of Cheiro's life (he passed in 1936), preserving the depth and expansions he added to the original Chaldean revelations.

The overall condition of this book is very good, especially for a book printed over half a decade before the Second World War. The covers and spine have some normal shelf wear but remain in good condition. The pages are naturally age-toned.

"For years, we have marveled at the magic of the Far East. We have been amazed by the forecasts and prophecies that have proven true.
Yet these prophecies are not guesses—they are based on a science, a formula that has been learned and proven for thousands of years by the most extraordinary wise men. Numerology- the science of numbers, the key to fate and the future, a secret jealously guarded by all who knew it. Cheiro, the mastermind behind civilized nations, spent a lifetime studying these occult secrets and has explained them in "The Book of Numbers," thereby proving their importance and meaning. What has fate in store for you, as shown in names, addresses, and important dates in your life? What future did destiny outline in setting the exact date of your birth, in influencing your parents to assign your name, or your friends to change it with a "nickname"? What are your lucky days and unlucky ones? Cheiro explains the meanings and methods of these mysterious forces with proofs and testimonials from the world's most famous men and women. He was called to the Vatican by Pope Leo XIII, predicted the exact year Cardinal Sarto would succeed him, and has convinced Rulers, Presidents, and Prelates."

The overall condition of this book is good, especially considering it is now 94 years old. It has some typical shelf wear and age, but has been remarkably well-preserved.
