The story

In the early 20th century, L. Dow Balliett wrote the books that turned scattered numerology into a complete, teachable system. Her key contribution was making the concept of the Life Path — the number derived from the date of birth — the axis of the personal reading.

That number is today the starting point of almost all English-language numerology and the basis of the Life Path Molino calculates first in your map.
