What influence did Pythagoras have on Numerology?
Pythagoras arguably made the greatest individual contribution to the development of numerology in the West. After many years of research, he established his School of Mysteries, where the study of numbers, astronomy (which then included astrology) and geometry (including sacred geometry) were at the heart of the curriculum. Because his approach was eclectic, the Pythagorean legacy embraces wisdom from a spectrum of sources that were presented in a way that would appeal to the emergent scientific mind. Almost every contemporary western treatment of Numerology owes something to Pythagoras.
