Julia Seton (also Kapp and Sears; 1862–1950) was an American physician, lecturer and author.[1][2][3] After graduating from medical school and working as a physician, Seton modernized the concept of "the Science of Names and Numbers" to what is referred to today as numerology, and it is through her work that numerology became known by the general public.[4] She was friends with Sarah Balliett who created the modern style of numerology.[4]
Seton's work represented a million and a half people, of whom 6,000-8,000 were confessed believers.[1] She asserted that "New Thought was a religion", and she was its self-appointed high-priestess. According to Seton, New Thought was a product of the twentieth century thought and need and it had its birth in human experience and human enfoldment.[5] Seton served the president of the New Thought School, Boston, Massachusetts, Brockton, Massachusetts, Brooklyn, New York, and Manhattan, New York.[6] In 1905, she founded the New Civilization Church,[7] in Santa Monica, California.[8]
