Tom
A Kabbalistic Synopsis
Ta'am(teth, Ayin, Mem)
Tom is a great guy and is particularly popular with kids. If he doesn't have any of his own, he may work well as a teacher or a child care worker. His main appeal with children is his wonderful imagination, which unlike most adults, is a fresh and unencumbered as a child's! Tom's innocent enjoyment of the world is indicated by the fact that his name's value reduces to 22, which is the number of the Fool card in tarot. The Fools is a very complex card, but in terms of name analysis it suggests a creative and optimistic person whose only real problem is being too ready to believe that everything will turn out fine. Consequently, devastation may follow on the few occasions when it doesn't. Tom may possibly make a career for himself as an entertainer. He certainly has the charisma that is needed, as well as a good ability to laugh at himself.
The Runic Interpretation
(Mannaz, Othila, Teiwaz)
With the Othila rune of separation in his name, Tom will seem different from the beginning. Mannaz teaches us about love for our fellow man, and Tom has the heart of a humanitarian. Being able to see the big picture is one of the attributes of the Mannaz rune of the self. Tom may become an idealist working for a global cause, or he might go into biotechnology or open a health food store. With the Teiwaz warrior energy, Tom might funnel his vision of a better tomorrow into helping erase poverty or ignorance. Whatever path he chooses, he's able to elicit followers because people are attracted to Tom's sincerity.
The Numerological Interpretation
Children are important to Tom. He is a man who can identify with their imaginative world and their innocence. Tom is always working to improve his creative potential, and this goal carries over into his interactions with people in his environment. This is why it is easy to see that Tom makes a wonderful teacher or guidance counselor. He is very good with his hands, and can be most productive in work that requires a fine sense of manual dexterity, patience and calm. His family is the center of his life, and it is easy for him to establish a loving and cooperative relationship with the right partner.
