About this product
Some questions deserve a slow instrument. Set this wheel on the desk, turn the inner disc against its faint, satisfying friction, and watch a name become a number.
It is a volvelle, the device of rotating paper discs that medieval and Renaissance makers used to reckon calendars, tides and the motions of the stars, turned here to a gentler purpose. An outer wheel printed with the alphabet and an inner wheel printed with the numbers one through nine are joined at the center by a brass eyelet, die-cut from heavy board and riveted by hand, so they turn with a little resistance rather than spinning loose.
Numerology assigns a number to every letter, and by old custom a name summed and reduced to one digit carries something of a person's character. The wheel follows the Pythagorean system rather than the older Chaldean order; the booklet notes the choice for anyone who would rather reckon by hand.
Details
- Size: 18 centimeters across
- Materials: stiff pasteboard, brass eyelet
- Printing: matte, litho-printed in a single warm charcoal ink
- Includes: a booklet giving the traditional character of each number
How to use
Turn the inner wheel to line each letter against its number, note them in turn, then add them and reduce until one digit remains. The booklet gives its traditional character.
A handsome thing to leave out on a desk, waiting for the next name.
