Angel Numbers
Angel numbers are a group of numbers consisting of repeating digits, which is considered a conceptual part of numerology. Believed by some individuals to be a way through which angels communicate with people. This spiritual or mystical concept does not have empirical support or scientific backing but is widely popular among various spiritual communities. According to proponents, each number carries a unique vibrational energy and meaning, through which angels convey messages.[1]
Concept
Angel numbers are sequences of numbers that individuals notice recurrently in their daily lives.[2] The concept connects with the belief in numerology.[3] Some adherents believe that these numbers aren't random but intentional messages from angelic beings meant to provide guidance, reassurance, or warnings.[1]

Reception and criticism
While angel numbers are embraced within certain spiritual communities, there is skepticism and criticism from others. Critics argue that the phenomenon can be explained through psychological concepts like confirmation bias and apophenia - perceiving patterns in random data.[citation needed] There is also concern that relying on angel numbers for decision-making can lead to avoidance of personal responsibility and reliance on pseudoscientific beliefs.[citation needed] However, the belief has also been noted as "benign or even comforting to some."[6]
In popular culture
