It was while digging through the digital archives of painter and art historian Katherine Dreier (via Yale's rare book collection) that I came across the name-changing key that was used by Aso-Neith Cochran, whom I just wrote about in the new Philosophical Research Society Journal. I began calculating the birthdate numerology alongside the names that Cochran gave many of her students, including well known artists and musicians, as well as numerologists who would subsequently teach her system. Some figures, like guitarist Vahdah Olcott-Bickford, may not have studied directly with Asoneith, but the calculations nevertheless align as they shared the same correspondences that Asoneith was working with. Without getting too deep into the details, "Mother Cochran," as Dreier addressed her, numerologically devised new names for her students, such that the numerical day of their birth matched the numerology of their first name according to three triads (1-5-7, 2-4-8, 3-6-9). I find it helpful and engaging to see these faces constellated and with direct reference to the archival name-key.
