Ancient Numerology

A number is a symbol that expresses an idea, an abstraction. Many scientists agree that there is the distinct possibility of knowledge used by the mind held in abstract form. These figures represent a language of communication. Humankind expresses thoughts through language, based on numerical symbolism.

Carl Jung said that the number preceded the mind, and soon discovered a human, not invented one, or words to that effect. In his view, the numbers are probably the most primitive element of order in mind and subconsciously used as an organising factor. The Pythagoreans of course, believed that all things are numbers and their constituents are components of all things.

As we travel down the centuries, the truth is that the implied power of some numbers was elevated above others. In different cultures, some numbers are esteemed as most sacred, while other characters were considered to possess sorrowful, dangerous or plain deadly implications.

Thus, the numbers 3, 4, 5, 7, 10, 12, 40, 70 and 100 were deemed sacred by many ancient peoples, the most enigmatic among them being the number 3. Perhaps the underlying reason for this was that a number of the significant religions in the world were based on a holy trinity, such as Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva in the Hindu faith whose mantra is “Aum”, the Egyptians worshipped a Trinity of Osiris, Horus and Isis, Sumeria’s Triad of the Great Gods: Anu, Elil and Ea [Sky, Earth and Water] and the Christians with the Father, Son and Holy Spirit [Ghost].
Indeed, Aristotle wrote in Greece in the Fourth Century BC: ‘All things are three, and thrice is all: and let us use this number in the worship of the gods; for, as the Pythagoreans say, everything and all things are bounded by threes, for the end, the middle and the beginning have this number in everything, and these compose the number of the Trinity’.

In Greece they were Zeus, Poseidon and Adonis. The Phoenicians worshipped Ulomus, Ulosuros and Eliun. Rome worshipped Jupiter, Neptune and Pluto. Among Germanic nations they were named Wodan, Thor and Fricco. In terms of the Celts, one source states, ‘…..the ancient heathen deities of the pagan Irish: Criosan, Biosena, and Seeva, or Sheeva.’

Within the Hindu Vedas, the numbers 3, 7, 21, 55, 77 and 99 are regarded as sacred. Number 99 is revered by the Arabs, because of their faith in God’s 99 names. The Persians worshiped 3 and 7, the Greeks and Romans believed that numbers 3, 9 and 12 had magical powers, while the Celts preferred the 3 and 9, and the Slavs 3, 9 and 7.

The knowledge that the ancient magicians attributed to the first ten numbers is both fascinating and intuitive.

One – is a number closest to God, logical one would say. The Egyptians in their hymns offered to Amon Ra declared that he was the ‘single’ or ‘only one’. For the Pythagoreans the number ‘one’ is an expression of the Supreme God, an invisible and all ecompassing entity. The Koran also says that, ‘God – there is one God.’ In astrology, it is a unit represented by the Sun.
Two – the perfect number, a symbol of duality, as well as man and woman. For some it is a sign of matter and the source of evil. However, the ancients, by contrast, often viewed it as a protective symbol. The Egyptians, for example, attributed a lucky charm to the shape of two fingers. In astrology, this number equates to the moon.
Three – is the number that symbolises life, birth and death. This is the sign of the Epiphany (Holy Trinity). Like modern religions, which acknowledge and reflect the ancient triad of deities in Babylonia for instance, Anu, Ea and Bel and in Egypt – Isis, Horus and Osiris. Here again, in classical mythology, the number three is encountered several times: the three Graces, three Harpies and three Gorgons, the three Furies. There were three kings who brought gifts to Jesus, and the three components of man – body, mind, and soul. In astrology, the number 3 corresponds to Jupiter.
Four – in Egypt, it signified the number of the four quarters of the earth and was symbolised by the four sons of Horus, as well as representing the four cardinal directions. In the Bible there are mentions of the four Evangelists, the four beasts in Ezekiel, 4 anchors, 4 horns, 4 elements. Tetragrammaton, the Hebrew name of God transliterated in four letters as YHWH or JHVH and articulated as Yahwehor Jehovah. In astrological terms, this number corresponds to Uranus.
Five – the ancient magicians saw this as the number of happiness and holiness. In the Bible, it is noted that God’s altar was five cubits long, and the same width. Victim of the world included five rams, goats and lambs. There were five foolish virgins and the same wise. The Pentacle of Solomon, or pentagram, is composed of five rays, depicting a man with outstretched hands and legs. In terms of human physiology there are the five physical senses, the skull consists of five bones, coupled with the hands and feet with five toes. In astrology the number five relates to Mercury.
Six – is regarded by many as a member of what are viewed as the ideal numbers, since the world was created in six days. So much light shed by the six-pointed Star of David, where each point symbolises one of the days of creation. Number of the Beast – 666 – in the past was attributed to specific individuals or groups. Is under the control of Venus (under its influence, and therefore receives a dove and a symbol of the United Nations).
Seven – The most mystical number. Manifestations of which are so commonly found in magic, and in religion that it is impossible to mention them all, almost invisible yet symbolic of much: the seven heavens, the planets, Pillars of Wisdom, grains spike, days, weeks, sacraments, deadly sins, the hills of Rome, the colours of the spectrum, the archangels , notes and the seven ages of man. In astrology, the number seven corresponds to Neptune.
Eight – a number that represents the two worlds: the material and spiritual. Meaning sorrow and limitation of anything, which the ancients believed accompanied death and relates to rock. In addition, it is a symbol of justice as a blindfolded woman, who holds a sword in one hand, the edge upwards, and in the other – the balance. The Jews recognise the rite of circumcision on the eighth day after birth. There were 8 sects of the Pharisees. Noah was the eighth descendant of Adam. Occultists often include three eights to Jesus as the judge and the comforter of the world. This number is the opposite number of the beast of the Apocalypse (666). It is subject to Saturn.
Nine – is not just another mystical number. Perhaps the most interesting feature is it that when it is multiplied by any other number and the digits of the result are added together the result is always a nine. It is considered a symbol of spiritual perfection. It symbolises life and its struggles and success in the end and is indispensable. Most significant is that the period of pregnancy in women lasts for nine months. This number has secret meanings representing as it does greatest secrets of the occult. Nine expresses the indestructibility of matter and in this sense is a universal symbol of the underlying cause. In astrological terms it is controlled by Mars.
Ten – The number of changes, being and nothingness. The symbolic is the fact that 10 consists of one and zero, one – a symbol of God’s existence, and zero represents the unmanifested matter, nothingness. Hebrews revered 10 as one of the secret numbers of God. Ten Commandments were 10 and 10 spheres of the Kabbalistic Tree of Life. This number is associated with the Earth.

The symbolism of numbers swirls around us like pollen. People across the world have greatest of faith in the meaning of numbers because it was ever thus, knowledge handed down from antiquity to the present day. The numbers not only help reveal the nature of humankind, but the natural world and events around them, used as protection against unwanted troubles in amulets and to foretell the future.
