Seven

A highly mystical number, seven represents mankind’s connection to the divine. It is the union of four with three, the manifest world joined to the holy trinity, and therefore the path to God. This has made the number considerably important to mages, alchemists and would-be wizards throughout history. Seven is often found underlying grand schemes of existence – days of the week, wonders of the ancient world, pillars of wisdom, deadly sins, rays of creation, levels of hell, colours of the rainbow, musical notes, even Shakespeare’s ages of man. It is internationally associated with integration, synthesis and the larger scheme of the universe. In Buddhism, the seven steps correspond to mastering time and space; in Hinduism, the seven primary chakras mark the ascent from the earthly to the divine.
