Some Special Numbers for me

0 (Zero)
The Void, The Goddess, the Unmanifest. The "Number" out of which everything comes. It's called "The Fool" because it obey its own mysterious, unknowable rules and is not subject to analysis. (Although we can and do theorize about it). It's the Great Mother, the Void, which lies beyond Alpha and Omega; Original Mind.

1
Every Creation; Ultimate Power, God, Uniqueness; the Manifest ; the gods; Cosmic Consciousness; Archetypal world; Reason. Fire. Number of the individual and the unique. One is the impossible beginning of everything coming out of the void. As in music, it bears the stress: ONE-two-three...

2
The Fall; Opposition; Good & Evil; Dissention. The number of division and opposition, analysis and separation; Darkness and light; Good and Evil. Mystery.

3
Evolution; Space; Unanimity, Unity, the ALL, multiplication, Synthesis, construction. Abundance, fruitfulness. The template in the mind. 3 also is the emblem of infinity.

4
Manifestation: the Elements, Earth. Number of physical reality, completing the foundations of things. Practicality. The Authority to be. Command. Mercy.

7
The Totality of Creation; Earth's escape velocity (M. P. S.); Will; Classical Planets; musical tones; the inferior power zones; Colors in the spectrum; Opportunity (because man develops by 7 year periods). Number of overcoming, victory, accomplishment. Perfect harmony. The Virgin, symbol of eternal rather than created things.

9
Eternity; Yesod; Endings, echatology; Number of Muses; In the I Ching, 9 is the number of Yang. Number of absolute completion, perfection and wisdom. Since the ennead is the final limitation, it is the acceptance of solitude and the beginning of the inward journey to the Infinite.

10
(1 + 2 + 3 + 4) The Tetractys; This is the number of new beginnings based on harmonious conclusions to previous activities. It is the individual, unique power as it appears in harmonious context with the many other uniquenesses of the world.

13
Arachne, the spider. The scale of the highest feminine unity; easily transformed to secondary masculine ideas by any male component; or, the unity resulting from love. Death; Lunar Zodiac; beginning of adolescence; Moons of Jupiter. Orbits in solar system (including Vulcan, Isis and Osiris). Thirteen is also the basic Mayan unit of change (13 days to a week) and the number of months in the Newtime calendar. Number of Death and Metamorphosis -- as the old life completes, a new life must begin. This is the practical side or physics of metaphysics. From 13 to 20 may be likened to the stages of an LSD experience in which the Ego dies and must be totally disintegrated. Then at 20 is reborn and at 21, the Ego is deliberately re-shaped into a new individual that fits ideally into the world.

14
Temperance or Art, it is, the physical means by which one is able to manipulate and balance the world.

15
The Devil. The number of illusion -- it's the shadow cast by beauty and love. Since it has to do with darkness as an illusion, the Devil is called Lucifer, the light-bearer. (The holder of the torch is himself in the darkness.)

21
Mystic number of Tiphareth; 3 x 7. The World (as it is built back up in a better way).

32
Number of gravity increase acceleration (32 feet per second per second); Paths of the Qabalah.

131
Khabs, Enthroned, Exorcist, Explosion, Forbidden, Love is the Law, Passionate, Protect, Supreme, Universe, Hospitality, Conjunction.
