  • Date of: 29.01.2024

Nowadays, it is believed that the most powerful and effective conspiracies are those that were passed down from mouth to mouth and have a long history, as well as the magic of clairvoyant people. Clairvoyant Anastasia, Vanga, Matrona of Moscow - all these people made a certain contribution to the magical “craft” and left ordinary people a legacy that can be used to solve various problems and attract various benefits.

In this article we will look at rituals for health, attractiveness and beauty. By the way, these conspiracies can be used by both women and men.

Execution Rules

It is difficult to argue with the fact that the effectiveness and efficiency of the ritual depends on how it is performed. Effectiveness can be achieved only under one condition - to follow exactly all the requirements described in the ritual. There is no need to change or think about anything, modify or change anything, just do it as described.

Rite of beauty

Beauty for both men and women often becomes a guarantee that a person will be popular and in demand among the opposite sex. And this is partly true, because beauty gives self-confidence, determination and other qualities necessary for a fulfilling life. That is why there are special conspiracies that help a person become more beautiful.

This ritual is carried out over a certain period - from the first to the last day of the waxing moon. You can't miss a single day. Execution time: early morning, immediately after waking up.

When you wake up in the morning, go straight to the mirror, preferably a full-length one. But, in extreme cases, it will fit up to the waist. There should be no one in the room except you. Looking at the reflection in the mirror, repeat the words seven times:

“In a truthful mirror, in a pure mirror, I, servant of God/servant of God (name), look.
I see an unknown beauty in him, an attractive person who is dear to those around him!
As the moon grows in the sky, so will my beauty increase.
And as the moon wanes, my beauty will take hold! Amen!"

After reading the words, you can go wash your face and do other things. If after the first month it seems to you that you have not achieved the desired results, then you can repeat the ritual in the next lunar cycle.

Conspiracies of this type begin to work immediately after execution, and the first results can be seen within a few weeks. A very important condition is faith in the result.

Numerology. Number magic. Magic numbers game.

NUMEROLOGY is an esoteric science about the influence of numbers on fate, akin to astrology and palmistry.

Since ancient times, numbers have played an important and multifaceted role in human life. It is not surprising that they have always attracted close attention from the mind. Ancient people attributed special, supernatural properties to numbers; almost every religion has its own “sacred numbers”. Some numbers promised happiness and success, others could cause a blow of fate, some favored travelers and warriors, others sacred mysteries. The ancient Indians, Egyptians, and Chaldeans were recognized experts in the use of numbers. The secrets of their teachings were trusted only to a narrow circle of initiates.
According to the “Book of Creation,” one of the main esoteric works of the teachings of the ancient Jews - Kabbalah, the world was created through numbers and sounds (or numbers and letters). “Explore all things with the help of numbers, penetrate into this mystery and reflect,” it says. Having comprehended the wisdom of numbers, you yourself will become wise.” The authorship of this work is attributed to the biblical patriarch Enoch; among the Egyptians he bears the name Toga, and among the Greeks - Hermes.
The founder of the European theory of numbers was Pythagoras. He is credited with saying: “The world is built on the power of numbers.” In his school, knowledge of the properties of numbers was the first step on the path to esoteric knowledge. Pythagoras’s book “The Sacred Word” has not survived, but we are introduced to the principles set out in it by the works of his followers - Philolaus, Archytas, Plato, Aristotle, Porphyry.
Echoes of ancient teachings about numbers can be found in the cultural heritage of almost any nation. For example, the famous researcher of primitive rock art of the Sahara, Henri Lot, in his book “To the Other Tassili” mentions: “Among the African shepherd tribe Fulbe, the number 7 symbolizes the unity of the whole, combining the masculine principle - 3 with the feminine principle - 4.” During the Renaissance, interest in ancient teachings, including numbers, arose. In 1533, Cornelius Agrippa published Occult Philosophy, containing a description of the magical properties of numbers. Occultists of the 18th and 19th centuries, among whom Eliphas Levi, Theodore Lab, Doctor Papus, and Aébarrol should be highlighted, devoted entire works to the study of the properties of numbers, interpretations of the Book of Creation and other Kabbalistic writings.
The ancient philosophy of numbers is also highly appreciated by modern scientists (see, for example, V.V. Nalimov’s book “Spontaneity of Consciousness”). The founders of three astrological schools in Moscow also paid serious attention to numerology. The largest work is “The Kabbalah of Numbers” by Absalom the Podvodny. “Numerology” Sergei Vronsky is written more popularly. Publications from the school of Pavel Glob are “Arithmetic of Fate” and “The Meanings of Numbers.”
The most authoritative modern specialist was Count Louis Gamon, better known by his nickname Cairo, who for a long time served as W. Churchill's adviser on occult issues. His main merit was the development of a doctrine applicable in everyday life, which he set forth in the “Book of Numbers.” According to the views of Kabbalists, numbers are formless entities present in all things and phenomena. “Each number has a certain power, which the number or symbol for designating the number expresses not only quantitatively. These forces lie in the occult connections between the relations of things and principles in nature, the expressions of which they are,” writes C. Agrippa. Any thing consists of essence, form and name, and the name is an important link between essence and form: it is thanks to it that essence plus form form a thing. A name is the result of a certain combination of letters through which it has a numerical meaning and is thus an expression of the properties of one of the numbers.
To modern people, the influence of numbers is more understandable from the point of view of psychoanalysis. Each number, primarily simple, is associated with certain images that are fixed in the subconscious. Each such image is in harmony with a certain type of activity, character traits, etc. For example, the number 1 evokes in a person’s mind the image of something individual: a lonely person, a separate building, a tree, the Sun in the sky. These images are associated with the beginning of any activity, with creative, individual work, with a penchant for leadership. 2nd images of a married couple, an arrow having a beginning and an end, a balance beam, a crescent moon; 3 - triangle, family of three; 4 - square, four cardinal directions; 5 - pentagon, star, pentagram - magic sign, etc. Since human thinking is figurative, when learning to count, each number forms a corresponding image in the mind. When a person encounters numbers in his activity, areas corresponding to the images of these numbers are activated in his consciousness. The reverse process is also possible: a certain image that has arisen in a person’s consciousness activates areas of the subconscious with images corresponding to the same numerical value. If someone has the same name, date of birth, place of residence, etc., as another person, then this will cause a predisposition in their relationship, most often favorable.
The main thing for a person, according to Louis Gamon, is the number of birth. To develop its properties, you should increase the concentration on it, i.e. live in houses and apartments whose numbers are in harmony with the number of birth, choose the appropriate name, the same applies to all dates, numbers and names encountered in life. The name of the city and place should be considered and applied as a wider octave of harmony; the number of your house or apartment - as more intimate, personal; the number of a date or day of the week - as more immediate, directly related to events, and the number of birth or name in relation to oneself - as more individual, relating to feelings, love, affection and home life.
If the birth number is not favorable, then you can concentrate, for example, on the number of the name or zodiac sign. To determine the numerical value of a name or any word, add the values ​​of the numbers corresponding to each letter:
A-1, B-2, C-3, O-7, P-8, D-4, Q-1, E-5, R-2, F-8, S-3, G-3, T- 4, N-5, U-6, I-1, V-6, J-1, W-6, K-2, X-5, L-3, Y-1, M-4, N-5, Z-7
In Russian transcription:
A-1, R-2, B-2, C-3, B-6, T-4, D-3, U-6, D-4, F-8, E-5, X-5, F- 1, Ts-3, Z-7, Ch-8, I-1, Sh-8, Y-1, Shch-2, K-2, J-0, L-3, Y-1, M-4, L-1, N-5, E-4, O-7, Yu-7, P-8, Y-2
Zodiac signs:
Aries - 9, Libra - 6, Taurus - 6, Scorpio - 9, Gemini - 5, Sagittarius - 3, Cancer - 2 and 7, Capricorn - 8, Leo - 1 and 4, Aquarius - 4 and 8, Virgo - 5, Pisces - 3 and 7.
In Cancer 2 is more pronounced than 7; in Leo - 1 than 4; in Aquarius - 4 than 8; in Pisces - 7 than 3.
At the beginning of each sign, Louis Gamon allocates 7 days, considering that the days of these periods have the properties of two neighboring signs. Days of the week: Sunday - 1 and 4, Monday - 2 and 7, Tuesday - 9, Wednesday - 5, Thursday - 3, Friday - 6, Saturday - 8.
Any composite number belongs to the series of one of the singular ones. To determine this, perform a “theosophical root extraction”: add up the numbers used to write the number, repeat if necessary until you get a single number. For example, 176 corresponds to
Numbers and place of residence
Any person can determine how favorable the city, town or area where he intends to settle will be for him. Everyone can easily detect the presence of their birth number in the name of a city or locality.
Work through the name of a city or locality letter by letter, assigning to each of them the numerical value of the letters of the Mystic Alphabet. Place these numbers under each of the city's letters; added together they give the number of this city. Continue adding until only one number remains, which will be the single number corresponding to the name of your city.
If this single number corresponds to your birth number, then the name of this city, town or locality is in agreement with your personality. This effect will be further enhanced if the person's name number also agrees with the area number. Number one people will easily find that the cities listed below are best suited for them to live permanently.
Let's work, for example, on the name of the city of Manchester: MANCHESTER 4+1+5+3+5+5+3+4+5+2=37=1.
Other cities giving 1: Birmingham, Boston, New York. People of numbers 1-4 and 2-7 have much more choice than those born under the signs of other numbers, since these numbers are interchangeable.
Number 2 people can choose any city whose final singular number is any number from the above series, but they will be especially successful if the name of the city gives their own number 2, for example: Leeds, Plymouth, Norwich, Brighton.
Number 3 people can choose Dublin, Moscow, Melbourne, Nottingham, Avonport or Bradford.
Number 4 people can live in London, Quebec, Montreal, Salisbury.
Number 5 people can choose Portsmouth, Chicago, Vienna. But, since 5 is the only number that is harmonious with any other number, people of number 5 can afford not to be particularly scrupulous in choosing their place of residence, since they are almost as harmoniously in harmony with any city in which they live, regardless of the number of this city.
Number 6 people can live in Liverpool, Paris, Louvre, Oxford.
Number 7 people can choose Hollywood, Calcutta, Preston or any other city from the series of numbers 1, 2, 4, 7.
Number 8 people can live in Belfast, Glasgow, Bombay. But not all people with numbers 4 and 8 should strengthen the influence of these numbers, living under the sign of their amazing fatality, but choose a city with a numerical value of 1, 3, 5, 6, etc.
Number 9 people can settle in Berlin, Rome,
Toronto. As noted above, people of numbers 3, 6 and 9 sympathize with each other and likewise they can choose any city or town whose number gives 3, 6 or 9, almost as well as if they chose a city with only one, " their own,” individual number.
Note. Please note that titles and names in this book are analyzed in English sound. For a Russian person, the Russian pronunciation of words is harmonious, for example: MOSCOW 4+7+3+2+6+1=23=5, and the English sound (Meskoyu) corresponds to 3, as indicated above.

People of numbers 4 and 8, if they have any musical ability or inclination for music at all, gravitate towards the organ and are often excellent choral singers, but in their music there are always melancholic notes in the background, religious fervor or fanaticism.
Due to the magnetic rays emitted by number 9 people, their presence often irritates people born under signs of numbers other than 1, 3, 5 and 6. People born under other numbers are very often nervous or uncomfortable in the presence of people numbers 9.

Number 1
The number 1 in occultism symbolizes the Sun. This Beginning is what all the other nine numbers were created with. The basis of all numbers is one, the basis of all life is one. This number represents everything creative, individual and positive.
Individuals born under the “birth number” 1 or one of its series have principles in their work that make their work creative, strictly individual, very definite in their views. As a result, they are more or less persistent (stubborn) and decisive in everything they undertake. This applies to all men and women born under the 1st sign (1st, 10th, 19th, 28th of any month), but this is especially true if they happen to be born between July 21st and 21-28 August, during the period of the Zodiac, called the “house of the Sun,” or between March 21 and April 21-28, when the Sun enters the vernal equinox and is considered exalted or full of strength during this period. That is why people born under the number 1 during these periods should have the qualities of this number, expressed in a particularly strong form.
Number 1 people are ambitious, they do not like restrictions, they always try to get to the top, no matter what their profession or occupation is. They want to become leaders, “the boss,” and as leaders they maintain their authority, “put” themselves and know how to make their subordinates look at themselves with respect. People of number 1 should try to implement their plans (the most important) and ideas on all days corresponding to their number (1st, 10th, 19th, 28th of any month, but especially during the periods from July 21 to 28 August and from March 21 to April 28).
Outside of their numbers, number 1 people get along well with people born under the signs 2, 4 and 7, and especially those born during the strong periods mentioned above. The days of the week most favorable for people with number 1 are Sunday and Monday, especially if one of their numbers falls on this day, such as the 1st, 10th, 19th, 28th, and a few less - alternating them numbers 2, 4 and 7. The most suitable colors for number 1 people are all shades of gold, yellow and bronze to golden brown. Precious stones - topaz, amber, yellow diamonds and all stones of the same colors. If possible, these people should wear a piece of amber on their body.
Born under number 1: Alexander the Great, Bismarck, Calvin, Danton, Goethe, Nansen, Edgar Allan Poe, Brigitte Bardot, Zhukov, Makarenko.
Number 2
The number 2 symbolizes the Moon. The Moon has feminine signs of the Sun, and thanks to this, people of number 1 and number 2 get along well with each other, despite the fact that they, as a rule, have very opposite characters.
Number 2 people are gentle, kind, imaginative, impressionable, artistic and romantic by nature. Like number 1 people, they are very inventive, but not very strong at bringing their ideas to life. The fundamental properties of their character belong much more to the spiritual than to the physical sphere. These are those who were born on the 2nd, 11th, 20th, or 29th of any month, but their characteristic qualities are especially strong if they were born between June 20 and July 20-27, i.e. . during the period called the “house of the Moon.”
Number 2 people should strive to implement their main plans and ideas on those days whose numbers are in harmony with their own: preference should be given to numbers such as 2, 11, 20 or 29, and the period from June 20 to 20-27 is especially favorable July.
The days of the week that are the happiest or luckiest for them are Sunday, Monday and Friday (Friday is favorable because it is ruled by Venus). This is especially true if a number falls on that day that is harmonious with 2, as well as with 1, 4 and 7.
The main mistake that number 2 people should beware of is self-exhaustion, working without rest, remaining in a state of unsettledness and indecision, lack of perspective in their plans and ideas, and lack of self-confidence. They are very prone to hypersensitivity, too easily falling into despondency, despair and melancholy, unless they are in a happy environment. As lucky colors, they should be all shades of green, from the darkest to the lightest, light green, as well as cream and white. They should avoid all dark colors, especially black, purple and dark red. Lucky stones for them are pearls, moonstone, all pale green stones, and they should carry a piece of jade (agate) with them, preferably directly on their body.
Born under the number 2: Ednsson, Musset, Ibsen, Sophia Loren, Bing Crosby.
Number 3
The number 3 in symbolism is associated with Jupiter, the planet that plays the most important role both in astrology and in all systems of numerology. This is the beginning of what can be defined as one of the main lines of force that runs through all multiples of 3.
People with a 3 as their birth number were born on the 3rd, 12th, 21st or 30th of any month, but the number 3 especially increases its influence in the so-called “period 3”, from February 19th to 20th. March 27 and from November 21 to December 20-27.
Number 3 people, like number 1 people, are very ambitious. They are never satisfied if they occupy a subordinate position. Their goal is to rise in the world, to achieve control and power over others. Nevertheless, they are excellent at following orders and love order and discipline in everything. They readily obey orders themselves, but also insist that their commands be followed. Number 3 people often reach the highest levels in any profession or field in which they find themselves. They often occupy a dominant position in the army or navy, in governments, and especially in positions requiring trust and responsibility, because extremely conscientious in performing their duties.
A frequent mistake of these people is their commitment to dictatorship, the desire to establish their own laws, and their insistence on implementing their own ideas. That is why they often make many enemies, although they themselves are not prone to quarrels. Number 3 people are exceptionally proud, do not like to be in debt, strive for independence and are irritated by the slightest restrictions.
They are advised to carry out their plans on days that are in harmony with their own number, such as the 3rd, 12th, 21st or 30th of each month, but especially when these dates fall in the “period of 3.” The luckiest days of the week for them are . Tuesday,.-, Thursday -and Friday, Thursday are the most significant. These days are especially favorable if a number giving 3 falls on them, and also slightly less favorable if the numbers 6, 9, etc. fall on them.
Number 3 people are in greatest harmony with people born under their own number 3, or under numbers 6 and 9. As lucky ones, their colors should be violet or purple, shades of mauve. Some smear of this color should always be with them, as well as in the room in which they live. All shades of blue, crimson and pink are also favorable for them, but these are still secondary colors for number 3 people. Their lucky stone is amethyst. They should always have it with them and, if possible, wear it on their body.
Born under the number 3: Lincoln, Churchill, Kipling, Darwin, Mark Twain, Mendelssohn, Voltaire, Peter 1, Stalin.
Number 4
The number 4 symbolizes the planet Uranus. Uranus is believed to be associated with the Sun, which corresponds to the number 1, and in occultism the symbol for Uranus is written as "4-1". People of number 4 have a special character that distinguishes them from everyone else. It seems that they view all things and events from the opposite point of view. During discussions, they always strive to take the opposite position; some kind of opposition always forms around them. By doing this, they make a large number of hidden enemies who constantly act against them.
It is quite natural for them to begin to consider the things or events proposed to them from a point of view that is opposite to those around them. They instinctively rebel against all rules and regulations and, if they cannot act in their own way, upend the order of things even in public and state spheres. They often rebel against official authorities and establish new orders and rules, both in personal and public life. They are drawn to reforms of all kinds and, being very stable in their views, they are very difficult to make concessions and agreements.
Number 4 people include anyone born on the 4th, 13th, 22nd or 31st of any month. Their inherent individuality is especially clearly expressed if they were born in the zodiac period of the “Sun and Moon,” namely between June 21 and July 20-27 (Lunar period) and from July 21 to the end of August (Sun period). It cannot be said that people of number 4 find friends easily. But most of all they are attracted to people born under the signs of the numbers 1, 2, 7 and 8. They are rarely as successful in business and endeavors as people born under the signs of other numbers. As a rule, they are more or less indifferent in matters of accumulation of fortunes. If they do get money, they usually surprise everyone with the way they use it and the benefits they get from it.
They should try to carry out their plans and ideas on those days to which their number corresponds, namely the 4th, 13th, 22nd or 31st of each month, but especially if these days fall during their “strong” days. period": from June 21 to July 20-27 and from July 21 to the end of August. The days of the week are the happiest, “luckiest” for them - Saturday, Sunday and Monday, especially if these days fall on “their” number or what one of those harmonious with it - 1, 2 or 7.
The main disadvantage of these people is that they are overly tense and overly sensitive. They are easily vulnerable in their feelings and tend to feel lonely and abandoned, almost always falling into despondency and melancholy if they do not achieve success. As a rule, they have very few true friends, but in relation to the few that they do have, they are very loyal and attached. However, they tend to take the side of the loser in all issues and disputes in which they themselves participate.
As lucky colors they should wear so-called “half shades” or half tones, as well as “electro” colors. Electric blue and all shades of gray suit them best. Their lucky stone is sapphire, light or dark, they should wear it directly on their body.
Born under the number 4: Byron, Faraday, Bacon, Daudet, Conan Doyle, Kant, Schubert, Wagner.
Number 5
The number 5 in occultism symbolizes the planet Mercury and in all its characteristics it is changeable, fickle, and mobile. Number 5 people include those who were born on the 5th, 14th, 23rd of any month, but their characteristics are especially pronounced if they were born in the so-called “period 5” - from May 21 to 20-27 nurse or from August 21 to September 20-27.
Number 5 people easily make friends and get along well with people born under the gender signs of almost all other numbers, but their best friends are those born under their own number 5. Number 5 people are constantly in a state of spiritual tension. They live on nerves and seem to be looking for reasons to get excited. They are quick in thoughts and decisions, impulsive in their actions, hate any lengthy and painstaking work, and it is quite natural for them to strive to “make their money quickly.” They have a keen sense of money, which is made through ingenuity and new ideas. They are born gamblers, stock speculators and, as a rule, are always ready to take risks in all matters they undertake.
These people have an amazingly flexible character. From the heaviest blows they recover surprisingly quickly, nothing seems to be able to weigh them down for a long time. Like their symbol - mercury, which Mercury represents, the blows of Fate leave no marks on their character. If they are good people, they will remain the same, if they are bad, all the sermons in the world will not have the slightest influence on them.

Number 8
The number 8 in occultism symbolizes the planet Saturn. This number affects all people born on the 8th, 17th or 26th of any month, but this influence is especially strong if they were born between December 21 and January 19-26, the period called the "house of Saturn" (positive), or from January 19 to February 19-26, the period also called the “house of Saturn” (negative).
In their lives, they are often doomed to misunderstanding from others and, perhaps, that is why in their souls they feel terrible loneliness. These are people with a deep nature, subject to strong experiences, who have a strong, pronounced individuality. As a rule, they play a fairly prominent role on the stage of life, but this role usually has a fatal connotation; often such people are instruments of Fate in relation to others.
If they become involved in any religion, they reach the point of excess and fanaticism in their zeal. In any such case, they try to make way for their idea, despite any objections and opposition. By doing all this they usually make cruel and ruthless enemies. They often seem to be cold, inexpressive people, although in reality they have tender, loving hearts, responsive not only to the suffering of loved ones, but also to all the oppressed and oppressed. But they hide their feelings, allowing people to judge them as they please. Number 8 people are either big lucky people or bitter losers; in their case, there seems to be no middle ground. If they are ambitious, they try to manifest themselves in public life or in government positions and often achieve a fairly high position, but this costs them great expense. From a generally accepted point of view, eight is not at all the lucky number under which one should wish to be born, tx. Number 8 people very often experience undeserved blows of fate, thorns, sorrows and humiliation.
Lucky colors for people born under the 8 sign are all shades of taupe, black, navy blue and purple. If number 8 people dress in light colors, they look awkward, awkward, as if something is wrong with them. The number 8 is the number of Saturn, so Saturday is their most important day. Due to the fact that the number 4 influences Sunday and, in a secondary way, Monday, people of the number 8 consider Sunday and Monday to be their important days, in addition to Saturday.
Number 8 people should try to carry out their plans and goals on those days on which “their” number falls, for example the 8th, 17th or 26th of any month, but especially if these dates fall in the “period of eight”, namely from December 21 to January 19-26 and from January 19 to February 19-26, and also if they fall on Saturday, Sunday, Monday. The days corresponding to the number 4 alternating with 8 are also favorable, i.e. 4th, 13th and 22nd of every month. Lucky stones for number 8 people are amethyst and dark sapphire, black pearls and black diamonds. If possible, they should wear one of these stones on their body. Eight is a number that is difficult to explain. It represents two worlds - spiritual or material and, even externally, if you pay attention, the number eight looks like two circles touching each other. Eight is made up of two equal numbers 4 and 4. Since ancient times, the number 8 has been associated with the symbol of the inevitability of Fate, both in relation to the lives of individuals and entire nations. In astrology, the number 8 symbolizes the planet Saturn, which is also called the planet of Destiny.
One side of the nature of this number represents upheaval, revolution, anarchy, capriciousness, instability and eccentricities of all kinds. The other side represents philosophical thinking, a strong inclination towards the occult sciences, religious devotion, focus on purpose, zeal, zeal in any endeavor to which one devotes oneself, and a fatalistic perspective coloring all actions.
All people whose lives are in some way connected with the number 8 clearly feel that they are “different”, that they are not like other people. At heart they are lonely, they are not understood, and they very early reap the fruits of “gratitude” for the many good deeds they have done. After death, they are often eulogized, their work praised, their memory paid tribute. At a lower level, they usually come into conflict with human justice and end their lives tragically. At a higher level, they carry their incomprehensible motives throughout their lives and reveal the tragedy of their souls only before Divine Justice.
The difference by which one should judge which of the two classes a person of number 8 falls into should be sought by the similarity of their “vanishing numbers.” If they are completely suppressed by the constantly recurring number 8 in the most basic moments of their life, or some equally strong number like 1, 3, 6, etc. from their series does not level out to one degree or another the consequences of the events that happened under the sign 8 and other numbers from the same series.
If this is the reason, then we can be sure that through the long series of reincarnations through which they have passed, they have already paid in one of the previous states and are now on the way to the highest, where Divine Justice will give them their well-deserved reward. Or, on the contrary, we will find that the person is completely dominated by the number 8, constantly appearing on the scene at important moments, or instead of 8, the equally fatal number 4. In this case, we can be sure that we are witnessing one of those strange jokes Fates with such possibilities that the occurrence of tragedies along the path of life becomes quite probable.

These people have courage and make excellent soldiers, fighters and leaders in any cause to which they devote themselves.

Recommendations for those born under the signs of the numbers 4 and 8
People born under the sign of 4 or 8 need to avoid the numbers 4 and 8 by all means, namely, not to live in houses and apartments under the signs of these numbers, not to choose armor that gives them, if these numbers do not bring them good luck. A briefly formulated rule that people of numbers 4 and 8 should adhere to in this case is: “Never increase the power of these numbers.” Consequently, these people should not follow the rule established for those born in the signs of other numbers, but on the contrary - they should do the opposite.
Since they cannot change their birth numbers, they can change the number of their name and make it give another lucky number. It is desirable that this be one of the numbers with stable strong vibrations, such as 1, 3, 5 or 6. Having firmly and definitely set on this path and finally decided that from now on they will be represented by a new number given by their name, in relation to this new number, you should adhere to the rule stated above, namely: think of yourself as this number, try to feel one with it, plan all important things for the dates that this number gives.
Having done all this, persistently and persistently continuing to do so, people of number 4 or 8 will avoid the unfavorable qualities of “bad luck” that appear and will become almost as lucky as the rest.

However, one should not expect that the results of such a change will be felt within a few days, as is typical for many impatient people. Be patient a little, and after a reasonable period of time you will see pronounced changes in your favor as a result of your actions.

In many mystical traditions, the magic of numbers is the basis and foundation for the alchemical Great Work. Each number is a sacred secret of existence, containing the universal principles of the universe. Anyone who has learned the sacred meaning of numbers becomes able to operate with reality, turning lead into gold.

The magic of numbers is the basis of most esoteric and magical systems. Each number, from one to nine, contains ancient archetypal images, which the ancients personalized in the images of gods and identified with the forces of nature and the qualities of the elements.

The one for whom the magic of numbers revealed its most hidden depths mastered enormous power, with the help of which it was possible to both create and destroy. Therefore, deep magical knowledge was kept secret and protected from the eyes of the uninitiated. Today, in the age of computer technology, you can find almost anything if you want. But this did not make knowledge more accessible than it was before.

Now seekers have a new task on the path of knowledge - to separate the important from the unimportant, the true from the false, the wheat from the chaff. Among the terabytes of information, you need to learn to find what is worthy of attention and be able to cut off what leads astray.

When studying the magic of numbers, it is worth remembering that everything in the world is relative, and much depends on the starting point. There are many number systems in the world, such as:

  • 2-ary – used in programming and consisting of zeros and ones;
  • 10-digit - a modern system of numbers from 0 to 9;
  • 12-digit - used in modern calendar and astrological systems;
  • 16-teric - calendar system of the ancient Slavs;
  • 22-fold - Tarot system - Egyptian tradition;
  • The 24-digit system of Runes is a Scandinavian tradition.

In this article we will talk about the nine-fold system of numbers, the magical knowledge of which was brought to Europe by the great Initiate - Pythagoras of Samos. Each symbol in this system: from 1 to 9 is not an empty quantitative designation, but a hypostasis of the Great God. And just as the Trees of Life flow from each other, forming a hierarchy of worlds, so the numbers of the numerological series flow from each other, symbolizing the flow of the divine principles of the universe.

Number 0

Zero has no numerological value. By itself, without other numbers nearby, it is abstract and symbolizes the eternity of the cyclical processes of the Universe. From zero everything appears and everything falls to zero.

Symbolic image of the number “0”. A snake biting its own tail; Black hole; World egg.

Symbolic correspondences of the number 0:

  • a point is like a hole;
  • a snake biting its own tail;
  • world egg.

In the philosophy of numbers, zero is a state of being bordering on non-existence; existence merged with non-existence.

Just as the embryo contains the potential for development of a still-born being, so the entire world, not yet created and not yet manifested, is contained in the zero. Therefore, counting in numerology begins not from zero, but from one. Unity is the first principle of the revealed world and the beginning of all things.

Meaning of number 1

Unit is a symbol of Supreme Unity, indivisibility and integrity of the Divine principle. The meaning of number 1 is God, the Great Father. This number contains creative creative energy, through which the Higher Consciousness creates the world.

The esoteric meaning of one is the active masculine principle. It carries within itself a life-giving force, rushing, like a light wave, at the maximum possible speed across the expanses of the Universe.

Another meaning of the number 1 is the action of the Holy Spirit, spiritualizing and all-pervading. In the magic of numbers, one is the essence of active action and the principle of existence, contained in constant movement.

Manadala is a symbol of the integrity and unity of the universe

The meaning of the number 1 is revealed in the mythological image of Atman-Brahman, which represents the light of awareness, beyond divisions and suffering. The philosophical concept of this number is pure spirit, outside of time and space. Pythagoras compared the unit with the Great Monad - the image of the world soul.

Number 1 symbols:

  • ray – the principle of perpetual motion;
  • the rod is a symbol of power;
  • phallic symbol - masculinity;
  • mandala – symbol of the Pofiogrean Monad;
  • dot - like the beginning of something.

The astrological meaning of number 1 is the Sun. Being the center of the planetary system, the Sun is the source of life and a necessary condition for the development of the entire organic world. In the structure of the human psyche, the Sun controls a person’s personality and is responsible for his individuality and self-expression.

Positive qualities of the Sun number 1:

  • royalty;
  • pride;
  • nobility;
  • strength and power;
  • valor;
  • championship;
  • unselfishness;
  • generosity.

In the explicit world, one does not occur in its pure form. Everything material is a reflection. And absolute unity exists only in the consciousness of Brahman himself - the Father and Cause of the entire Universe. What a person can operate with is spirit, already mixed with matter.

The Sun is the physical manifestation of the archetypal qualities of the unit

It is worth understanding that the magic of number 1 is the magic of solar energy in all aspects of its manifestation, both positive and negative. After all, the Sun, which gives life, is also capable of incinerating with its rays. Thus, in Egyptian myths there are two sides of the sun. Ra, the father and patron of all humanity, angry with people, turns his fiery eye into the fierce lioness Sekhmet, who in her rage destroys rebellious lawbreakers.

The principle of one is contained in every expression of will and aspiration. But a broken measure in the use of the magic of number 1 will lead to a shift of positive aspects to extremes. Moving away from the “golden mean” makes the positive aspects disharmonious, and the Sun manifests its scorching nature.

Negative qualities of the Sun and number 1:

  • anger;
  • arrogance;
  • tendency to violence;
  • pride;
  • lust for power;
  • egocentrism;
  • impulsiveness.

Meaning of number 2

Number 2 symbols:

  • woman mother;
  • lunar crescent;
  • vessel or bowl.

Two corresponds to the astrological sign of the Moon - the planet reflecting the light of the Sun. Pythagoras called the number 2 the Divine Spouse, which represents nature, and not only earthly, but also, invisible to us, cosmic.

Positive qualities of the Moon and number 2:

  • motherhood;
  • insight;
  • softness;
  • depth;

In ancient Greek mythology, the number two corresponds to the goddess of fertility Demeter in the form of Mother Earth. In the Christian tradition, this archetype is represented by the Mother of God, who gave birth to a divine child.

The magic of number 2 is the magic of astral forms. But in contrast to the eternal existence of Consciousness, any form will one day turn into dust, therefore the entire material world is imaginary. Only the One Spirit is immortal. Forgetting about this, consciousness plunges into illusion. And then the Moon begins to show its shadow side in the character of the individual.

Negative qualities of the Moon and number 2:

  • emotional instability;
  • moodiness;
  • unreliability;
  • impermanence;
  • variability;
  • tendency to go into the world of illusions;

Symbolic image of the dark aspect of the Moon and the number 2 in the image of the goddess Hecate

Meaning of number 3

Three is a sacred symbol, both in the magic of numbers and in other esoteric systems. Number 3 is a sign of the Universe at all levels of reality.

The triad is also present in the structure of the human essence: in the trinity of spirit, soul and body.

Number 3 symbols:

  • Slavic Triglav;
  • Christian Trinity;
  • symbol of Tao.

In the magic of numbers, the principle of trinity is a continuation and addition of the law of duality. Opposites are simultaneously in opposition and in unity, which is reflected in the sacred symbol of Tao.

The principle of trinity is the law of the structure of everything that appears. Only through three points can a plane be drawn. Triangle is the first figure in geometry. And the presence of three dimensions is necessary for the existence of space. Three primary colors form the entire spectrum of colors.

Symbols of the trinity of the universe. Symbol of Tao. The Holy Trinity. Slavic Triglav.

The meaning of the number 8

Eight is a sign of infinity and a reflection of the highest law, from which no one can escape. This is an inevitable transition, a change of poles, a change.

The number 8 in mythological images represents the aspect of destruction. In the magic of numbers, eight is compared with Saturn - the god of time and the patron saint of old age. In ancient Roman mythology, Saturn was depicted as an old man devouring children.

Symbols for the number 8:

  • Infinity sign;
  • eight-pointed star;
  • eight-pointed cross.

Number 8 is a symbol of cyclicality and completeness of the universe

In the magic of numbers, 8 is a sign of inevitability. Archetypally, the image of the number 8 is death and transformation. On the other hand, 8 is a symbol of the infinity of the cycle of rebirth. And death is only a transition point, destruction in the name of new creation.

Positive qualities of Saturn and number 8:

  • revival;
  • justice;
  • following the law;

Eight symbolizes the beginning of a new cycle after consciousness goes beyond the number 7. This number is the designation of a new octave of the musical staff, a repetition of events at a new level of existence.

The intersection point in the symbol of the number 8 is the value of restored equilibrium. This is the point of retribution, karma and transition from one state to another. It is also a symbol of realization, achievement and embodiment.

The meaning of the number 8 lies in a harmonious relationship with the law. Anyone who lives according to the laws is protected by the planet of this number - Saturn, the god of time. Saturn in the magic of numbers carries the meaning of restrictions. This is a force that restrains movement, sets boundaries, and aims to bring order to chaos.

Negative qualities of Saturn and number 8:

  • cold;
  • gloominess;
  • loneliness;

  • gloominess.

The harsh god Saturn, devouring children with attributes: a scythe and an hourglass

The meaning of the number 9

The magic of number 9 is enormous strength and power. Being the last digit of the numerological series, it includes the qualities of all previous digits. This symbol is patronized by Mars, the god of war and destruction.

Number 9 is the archetype of a strong warlike man, a king-commander who leads his people to expand their borders. If Saturn is a silent reminder of time and the inevitable but smooth manifestation of its laws, then Mars is development and transformation through rapid destruction and purification.

Symbols of the number 9:

  • 9 Muses of Pythagoras;
  • 9 months pregnant;
  • an eight-pointed star centered in the middle.

In the magic of numbers, nine, whose patron is Mars, is associated with the element of fire and its properties. Fiery energy gives incredible will and desire for action. This is the archetype of a disruptive force that incinerates everything in its path to victory.

Mars - god of war and destruction

Positive qualities of Mars and number 9:

  • courage;
  • spiritual wisdom;
  • integrity of perception;
  • enlightenment;
  • energy;
  • spirit of victory;
  • progress.

Nine consists of three triads, which symbolizes the completion of the cycle, fullness and limitation. After 9 comes the number 10, which is a unit of a new order. The further path is possible only through the destruction of borders. So in this symbol the law of transformation is manifested.

The magic of number 9 is the magic of final achievement and accomplishment. In esotericism, it is a symbol of the constancy and integrity of the system, the principle of cyclical events.

Negative qualities of Mars and number 9:

  • hot temper;
  • uncontrollable anger;
  • dispersion of energy;
  • aggression;
  • cruelty;
  • disobedience.

The next number after nine is ten or one in a new round of evolution. The secret meaning of this number lies in the mystical symbol of Tetraxis, denoting the harmony and universality of nature. If nine is the number of integrity of understanding, then ten is a designation of the integrity of the system itself. The symbol 10 is the closure of the cyclic circle. The snake bites its own tail and the end turns into a new beginning.

“Math can be entertaining, mathematical tricks can be impressive, and the relationships that numbers enter into can be bizarre. Numbers don't rule the world, but they show how the world is run."

Johann Goethe

Introduction.
In time immemorial, having learned to count, people learned the measure of quantity - number. Peering at the combinations of numbers, they saw with amazement that the numbers had some kind of independent life, amazing and full of mystery; secrets inexplicable and therefore mysterious and meaningful... Sacred, magical, enigmatic, mysterious, perfect... From ancient times and in our time, many people believed and believe in lucky and unlucky numbers. For example, they are afraid of the numbers 13 and 12, they believe in luck 3 and 11. Many other mystical numbers are known. The essence of number superstitions and number mysticism is that individual numbers are assigned a mystical, supernatural, mysterious meaning. The inspirers of all superstitions without exception are ministers of different religions, since the basis of superstitions is the belief in the existence of mysterious connections between things and phenomena that are inaccessible to people’s understanding.

Since ancient times, numbers have played an important and multifaceted role in human life. It is not surprising that they have always attracted close attention from the mind. Ancient people attributed special, supernatural properties to numbers; almost every religion has its own “sacred numbers”. Some numbers promised happiness and success, others could cause a blow of fate, some favored travelers and warriors, others sacred mysteries. The ancient Indians, Egyptians, and Chaldeans were recognized experts in the use of numbers. The secrets of their teachings were trusted only to a narrow circle of initiates.

The founder of the European theory of numbers was Pythagoras. He is credited with saying, “The world is built on the power of numbers.” In his school, knowledge of the properties of numbers was the first step on the path to esoteric knowledge. Pythagoras’s book “The Sacred Word” has not survived, but we are introduced to the principles set out in it by the works of his followers - Philolaus, Archytas, Plato, Aristotle, Porphyry. Belief in lucky and unlucky numbers dates back to the days when counting began. People did not have common numbers for all objects, but there were different designations for each number depending on what they were counting: one count was for stones, another for fish, etc. Only gradually did people become capable of abstracting numerical concepts from concrete things. This led to the number being attributed a magical meaning; it was represented as some kind of mysterious spirit that could bring happiness or misfortune.

Ancient people considered sacred all the numbers that closed their number system. Such magic numbers were three, seven, thirteen, forty, etc. Ancient people, using quantitative assessment of everything that surrounded them, noticed the inexplicable power of the influence of certain numbers on various events in their lives. They attributed everything incomprehensible to magic, and this impact of evaluation on natural phenomena, on man himself, began to be called “the magic of numbers”: some brought good luck, success, others - troubles, blows of fate. Also, the ancient man was sure that fate was appointed from above, and no matter what he did, it was impossible to change it. More than two thousand years will pass and the French writer Balzac, the Russian Tsar Nicholas II and other famous people of our time will be just as sure of this. Honore de Balzac believed, just like the ancient people once did, that for each person all the troubles destined for him, as well as their character, are determined and calculated. But how was it possible to find out how many troubles and how many happy days were destined for each person in his life? Curiosity pushed people to search for a single universal law of numbers.

In the minds of Pythagoras, the founder of the “theory of numbers,” numbers completely ruled the world: they were closely associated with geometric figures, predetermined the fate of a person, guided his life, brought him good luck or misfortune, “certain sets of numbers were justice, soul, reason, opportunity, and accordingly, everything else could also be expressed in numbers.”

Magic series of numbers.

Number 1: The number of purpose, which manifests itself in the form of aggressiveness and ambition - everything that begins with "A", the first letter of the alphabet.
Number 2: The number is the antithesis of extremes such as day and night. It stands for balance and contrast, and maintains stability by mixing positive and negative qualities.

Number 3: Three appeared so often in signs and beliefs that it continued to haunt the minds of scientists in the future

Mysterious number three!

In Rus', the number 3 has always been special. Three heroes, three wishes, kingdom far away, etc.

In the cultural tradition of all peoples of the world, the troika occupies a place of honor. Why? It lies at the basis of the universe: since ancient times, people have universally recognized its trinity, composed of the Heavenly Earth and the Underworld.

The French say: “Where there are two, there will be three.” But the Chinese say something else: “If you repeat a good speech three times, even dogs will become disgusted.”

Well, how many folk expressions can we remember that use the number three? About the fact that you can get lost in three pines, but with a song you can travel across three seas - probably everyone remembers. And about the fact that they have been waiting for three years for what was promised. And God, as you know, loves the trinity. It is not clear how one can cry like crazy, or bend over backwards, or lie like crazy, but, nevertheless, these expressions have existed for many centuries, without losing popularity in popular speech. And how many folklore sources tell about three desires, three attempts, three trials, three brothers, sisters, fairies, heroes, dragons and three heads... No matter how they consider it: sacred, divine, magical, and happy. This is how the British, French, Italians, Russians treat him, and Hindus, Arabs, Turks and other peoples revere him.

Three is a heavenly number symbolizing the soul. This is the number of luck.
In Christianity: Holy Trinity: Father, Son and Holy Spirit; unity of body and soul in man and the Church. Three hypostases are the dogma of the Trinity, which is a distinctive feature of Christianity from Islam and Judaism. Therefore, the number "3" is the sacred number of Christianity. In Kabbalah, the three symbolizes understanding, as well as the trinity of the masculine and feminine principles and the mutual understanding that unites them. In Hinduism - Trimurti, the triple power of creation, destruction and preservation; various triplets of deities; The moon chariot has three wheels. In Japan, the Three Treasures are a mirror, a sword and a gem; truth, courage and compassion. In the Chinese character “wan” (three horizontal lines connected by a vertical one), which means the word “prince”, the upper horizontal line symbolizes the sky, the bottom - the earth, the middle - the person who, on behalf of the sky, rules the earth.
"Three" is humanity's favorite number.

"Three" is a symbol of the soul.

A special number, both in ancient times and in modern science, is considered number π (pi)- a mathematical constant expressing the ratio of the circumference of a circle to the length of its diameter, an irrational number. The value of this number cannot be expressed as a fraction; its decimal representation never ends and is not periodic.

In many traditions π (pi) was considered a sacred number. The ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter continues indefinitely, without a single repetition, which means that all other numbers are contained within this infinite chain of numbers. IN π (pi)- the entire chronicle of our life, consisting of a set of figures and numbers. And if we convert these numbers into letters, we get all existing words, in all possible combinations - the entire history of our lives. Number π (pi) - 3.1415926…

Number 4: Means stability and strength, represented by a square - the sides of space, the seasons and the elements of the elements (fire, earth, water, air). This is the most primitive number.

Number 5: Symbolizes taking risks, reaching your final outcome through travel and experience. The lack of stability in it can lead to uncertainty, but, on the other hand, this number is also the most unpredictable.
Number 6: Symbol of reliability. It is a perfect number that is divisible by both an even number (2) and an odd number (3), thus combining the elements of each.
Number 7: Mentioned in the Old and New Testaments 700 (!) times. In the Islamic tradition, there are seven brides and seven lands, seven gates of heaven and seven steps of hell, seven prophets (Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, David, Jesus, Muhammad). During the Hajj to Mecca, pilgrims must circumambulate the sacred stone of the Kaaba seven times. The soul of the deceased spends seven days near the grave. On the seventh day, the newborn receives a name. Seven is one of the most amazing numbers.
Mysterious number seven!

No matter how they consider it: sacred, divine, magical, and happy. Seven is a spiritual number, a sacred number. According to the Holy Scriptures, seven is a perfect number. It rules time and space. All peoples of the world paid special attention to the number seven.
In Egypt, seven is a symbol of eternal life, the number of the god Osiris. According to legends, at the seventh hour of the night the boat of Ra sails to the Serpent Apophis, the dead man passes through seven halls and seven doors to get to Amerti. In addition, seven is a symbol of creation (as in Christianity). The great Sumerian king Lugulannemundu, who reigned in 2500 BC. e., built a temple to the goddess Nintu in his city of Adab. The temple had seven gates and seven doors, and when it was completed it was consecrated seven times with the sacrifice of seven bulls and sheep.
In Ancient Greece, seven was the symbol of Apollo. Apollo was born on the seventh day of the month, his lyre had seven strings. In legends you can find seven Hesperides, seven circles of hell, seven gates, seven daughters of Astarte, seven Cyclopes, seven children of Niobe, seven pipes of the flute of Pan, etc. For seven days Yeshua and the Israelites walked around the walls of Jericho with seven priests who carried seven trumpets, and on the seventh day they walked around the city seven times and on the seventh time they shouted and the walls collapsed and they destroyed the city. In Ancient Babylon, people observed seven moving planets in the sky that supposedly revolved around the Earth: the Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus and Saturn.
Seven is the most mysterious and supernatural number; it is the most important in magic. According to tradition, the seventh son of the seventh father has magical powers. One confirmation of the divinity of the number 7 is the discovery made by Ivan Panin. The essence of the discovery is that in the original text of the Bible, consisting of the Old Testament, dictated in Hebrew, and the New Testament, dictated in Greek, the number 7 is incomprehensibly encoded in every word and in every letter, as, indeed, it is encoded and throughout our entire universe. Let us remember, for example, that: a lunar month is equal to 28 days (7x4), white sunlight consists of 7 colors, a musical octave consists of 7 full tones, the human pregnancy period lasts 280 days (7x40), seven days of the creation of the Universe, seven holy virgins , the seven senses in humans..

Seven seals, seven bowls of wrath, seven golden candlesticks, seven heads of the beast,

seven colors of the rainbow, seven notes, seven heroes, seven dwarfs, seven days of the week, seven winds, seven Pillars of Wisdom, behind seven mountains, seven spans of space in the forehead, seven Fridays a week, seven, seven, seven...Seven deadly sins: Anger. Greed. Envy. Gluttony. Lust. Pride. Laziness. Rome is built on seven hills.

There are seven days in a week. The spectrum consists of seven primary colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet. In music there are seven tones (notes) of the scale. Everyone knows the seven wonders of the world: the Temple of Artemis in Ephesus, the mausoleum in Halicarnassus, Olympian Zeus by the ancient Greek sculptor Phidias, the Colossus of Rhodes, the lighthouse in Alexandria,

Egyptian pyramids and Sphinx,Hanging Gardens of Babylon in Babylon .

In the Middle Ages, playing cards had a “seven-devil” that beat all other cards. The saying “the wicked witch seven” meant a grumpy spouse.

The “septenary” nature of the world was manifested, as they thought, in seven ages of human life: infancy - up to 7x1 = 7 years; adolescence - up to 7x2 = 14 years; youth – 7x 3 = 21 years; young man – up to 7x4 = 28 years; man – up to 7x7= 49 years; elderly man – up to 7 x 8 = 56 years.

Remember the proverbs and sayings with the number seven... (“seven do not wait for one,” “seven troubles have one answer,” “seven spans in the forehead,” etc.) In addition to the well-known ones, you can also remember these: “And the righteous man falls seven times a day ”, an experienced person “he ate from seven ovens”, “who is what, the people see through seven walls”, “a fox will lead seven wolves”, “rather than send seven, it’s better to visit it yourself”, “with seven roads there are eight streets.”

The question involuntarily arises: how to explain such a long-standing and widespread veneration of this number? The most convincing explanation was given by psychologist D. Miller. The researchers conducted various experiments. A blindfolded person, for example, was asked to determine by ear the pitch of the sound he heard from the speaker. When a person heard two or three different sounds, he never confused them. When subjects were asked to rate four sounds of different tones, they sometimes made mistakes. And at five and six, mistakes became frequent. Repeated experiments have shown that a person is able to distinguish no more than seven different tones. Another experiment. The person was shown a piece of paper with dots marked on them. If there were no more than seven dots on the paper, he immediately named the correct number without counting. When there were more dots, errors began. Psychologists called the number seven “object of attention.” There is no longer an instantaneous grasp behind it. “Apparently,” Miller believes, “our body has some kind of limit that limits our abilities and ... is determined by the very structure of our nervous system.” It turns out that long before the ancients deified the number seven, this number was good known to people. It reflected the property of their brain, its “throughput.” So, what does the ancient science of numerology say about the meaning of the number 7. Seven - symbolizes mystery, as well as the study of the unknown and invisible. Astrologers think of seven as a perfect number. According to popular belief, the seventh son of the seventh son is endowed with incredible magical powers. Seven unites the integrity of 1 with the ideality of 6 and forms its own symmetry, making it truly a psychic number. Seven is the number of luck, the most magical and sacred number, personifying wisdom, holiness and secret knowledge. This line of inconsistency can be continued. Here are such personality traits as diligence and a poetic soul, a penchant for analytical thinking and strong intuition, rich imagination, a lively, vivid imagination. Seven is a sign of nature's interest in human development. Composers and musicians, writers and poets, philosophers and hermits, thinkers and hermits are born and raised with this number. Their inspiration requires solitude and loneliness. This is their need and their element. With the number 7 they become bright personalities, people of worldwide renown. Seven conceals the ability to direct talent into the field of science, into the world of art or philosophy, into religious activity. But the success of their activities largely depends on a deep analysis of the results of what has already been achieved and on real planning for their future. Seven is a symbol of everything mysterious and magical; it is the most interesting and most mysterious number. Owners of 7 are talented, emotional and inquisitive, have a good sense of humor and a penchant for invention.

Number 8: Number of material success. It means reliability brought to perfection, as it is represented by a double square. Divided in half, it has equal parts (4 and 4). If it is further divided, then the parts will also be equal (2, 2, 2, 2), showing a fourfold equilibrium.
Number 9: The number of universal success, the largest of all elementary numbers. It unites the characteristics of an entire group, making it a controlling factor if fully developed. Like three times the number 3, nine turns instability into aspiration.

Number 11: Number 11 is called a mystical number because its owners have a special sensitivity to vibrations and can see spirits and ghosts. It's part of their fantasy-prone nature; They often like to create personal rituals for everything they do - to attract attention and evoke a variety of feelings in others. Traditional Western correspondences for the number 11: mission, inspiration, inventiveness, mysticism, spirituality, romance, artistry, energy, enthusiasm, Divine love.

Number 12: Particular importance is attached to the number 12 - it plays a large role in astrology, in calculating time and for the calendar. The change of seasons is easily calculated by full moons. The round Moon appears in the sky 12 times until the circle of seasons closes. Based on these observations, our ancestors divided the year. The day is also divided into 2 parts of 12 hours each. And the Sun takes 12 months to complete its annual journey. The number 12 appears to represent the basic principle of the Universe.

Number 13: And now about another number - 13, the “devil's dozen”. The origin of this superstition is similar to the origin of many other superstitions, once born from the imagination of our ancestors. For some people, there is no scarier day than Friday the Thirteenth. And, it seems, adults, modern people, but continue to live under the rule of superstition - on this day, they especially diligently spit and throw scattered salt over their left shoulder, not paying attention to those standing behind them, or walk around black cats a kilometer away, so , just in case. Scientists have even come up with an unpronounceable name for the fear of Friday the thirteenth - paraskavidekatriaphobia. It is impossible to say exactly how and when exactly this superstition appeared. Long before the twentieth century, the number 13 was considered unlucky, Friday was also considered an unlucky day, but there was no connection between them. There are several versions of the origin of the concept of “Friday the Thirteenth”. The most popular one connects this event with the Last Supper, in which thirteen people took part - Jesus, 12 of his disciples, the thirteenth of whom was Judas. There is no reason to consider Friday the thirteenth a lucky or unlucky day, just as there is no reason to consider the number itself good or bad. For example, the number thirteen in Kabbalah and among the ancient Mayans was considered very favorable, and the S-13 submarine was the luckiest in the Baltic Fleet during the Great Patriotic War. The media also fuels superstitious fear among people by focusing on the date of an event that would not be noticed if it happened on any other day. Good and bad things happen regardless of the day of the calendar, but if a person wants to believe that his life depends on something - on numbers, dates, days of the week - then he will definitely become dependent on the problems that he invents and creates for himself.

What do the numbers “promise” and what do we have?

A person does not determine his date of birth. As it turned out, so be it. Astrologers are sure that, on the contrary, the date of birth determines what a person should be and how he should live. When drawing up horoscopes, they necessarily take it into account, and connect all their calculations and predictions with it.

So I decided to find information about what a person born on the 3rd, 11th, and 13th might be like. How numbers can influence a person's destiny.

Born on the 3rd:

The ruling planet of number 3 is Mars. Mars endows its wards with a sharp, lively and dynamic character.

Advantages. People born under the auspices of the troika are very active, never sit in one place, and have a constant thirst for activity. “Troikas” are characterized by excellent analytical skills. They never repeat their mistakes twice, know how to draw the right conclusions from negative situations, and do not stop failures.
“Troikas” are very sociable, open, and, as a rule, brilliantly educated - people are interested in him. Flaws. The main scourge of “threes” is the inability to concentrate on one thing. They are interested in everything, they grasp at everything, but do not bring anything to the end. The openness and sociability of “threes” sometimes results in talkativeness and intrigue. Trusting secrets to “troikas” can be quite dangerous. Another feature of “threes” is extreme gullibility, bordering on naivety. But the most dangerous vice of “threes” is laziness.

Born on the 11th:

11 is a mystical number ruled by the fictitious planet Proserpina. In Roman mythology, Proserpine is the goddess of fertility and the underworld. From the point of view of numerology, 11 is a complex number consisting of two units, as if enhancing their effect. On the other hand, the sum of two ones is already two. A transformation occurs, which is reflected in the character of the owner of the number 11 in the date of birth. Advantages. People ruled by the number 11 have very strong psychic abilities. They know how to influence the world around them and change it. Representatives of this number are prone to clear analysis. They can crush everything, take it apart into the smallest details, and from them construct something qualitatively new. Among these people there are often psychics and clairvoyants. But particular success awaits them in those areas where the ability to think analytically, foresight and foresight are valued. Flaws. Sometimes the “two units” are characterized by excessive pettiness and love for detail. In some cases, “two units” are capable of overwhelming others with their strong psyche, which is why people may experience discomfort and even fear when communicating with them.

Born on the 13th:

The number 13 is a difficult number. He is considered unlucky, but this is incorrect and based on prejudice. Numbers 1 and 3 are very strong and mean career success. They are practical, good planners and carry out their plans energetically and systematically. They are smart, creative, and have very definite views. Independent, proud, pays debts quickly. Emotional characteristics. The emotional life of the number 13 is complex and difficult. Internally, such people crave encouragement, and they need someone who can give it to them. They need to be pushed all the time. Harmonious relationships. Number 13 is a very complex partner and requires a partner who has the qualities of many different people. First of all, they need support and confidence. High spiritual qualities, efficiency and devotion make them outstanding people, they will always feel good. Flaws. The main drawback of the number 13 is extreme pessimism. This can negate all his positive qualities.

Conclusion.

Having studied the literature and analyzed the data on numbers, it is impossible to make an unambiguous conclusion which number is happier than 7 or 13. On other days, both good and bad events also occur, but a person always tries to connect this with something supernatural. People strive to surround themselves on all sides with signs of the influence of numbers.

Among the mysteries, a special place is occupied by the mysteries of numbers, their origin and influence on people. We encounter numbers at every step; they accompany us from birth to our last days. We cannot imagine our life without them. What role do they play in our destiny?

Superstitions associated with numbers are perhaps one of the most enduring and widespread. A person who does not believe in any omens will still knock on the table three times, “so as not to jinx it,” or spit over his shoulder three times. Many people have “their”, that is, favorite number, and they almost seriously believe that it brings them luck. Our current superstitions are echoes of ancient ideas about the mystical power of numbers. In tribes where counting was limited to two or three, everything that was associated with counting objects exceeding two or three was equivalent to the concept of “many” or “darkness.” That which could not be counted was, as it were, beyond the limits of reason, and was mysterious, endowed with supernatural properties, and was considered sacred. A special science of numbers was even invented - numerology. Numerology has its roots in ancient times - primitive tribes used numbers. Consciously or unconsciously, people obey her: an odd number of flowers in a bouquet, a service for six or twelve people, repeat three times. Number magic is reflected in superstitions: in many countries there are no planes with tail number 13, there is no floor with the number “13”, there is no 13th room in hotels, etc.

Numerology was part of the secret knowledge of the most educated and enlightened elite of ancient states: Egyptian priests, Assyrian magicians, Indian Brahmins. The priests of ancient Memphis argued: “The science of numbers and the art of will are the two keys of magic, they open all the doors of the universe.” Numbers were especially revered in Ancient Greece.

Pythagoras' positions

The main provisions of the current version of Western numerology were developed in the 6th century BC. e. the ancient Greek philosopher and mathematician Pythagoras, who combined the mathematical systems of the Arabs, Druids, Phoenicians and Egyptians with the sciences of human nature. Pythagoras was born around 580 BC. e., traveled a lot in Egypt, Chaldea and other countries and, upon returning, founded a special philosophical society in southern Italy. In this society, or Pythagorean school, the sciences were studied, especially arithmetic, geometry and astronomy, and important discoveries were made.

“Numbers rule the world,” said Pythagoras. The Pythagoreans believed in the mystical life of numbers and believed that behind every object there was always a certain number. Numbers, like spirits, bring with them good and evil, happiness and unhappiness to people. You just need to know which of them are good and which are evil. Pythagoras, expounding this mysterious science to his students, said that the extent to which a person is familiar with the magical properties of numbers, the extent to which he knows how to use them, the extent to which he has control over his destiny. The Pythagoreans placed one above others. The whole world supposedly came from her, she is the beginning of all things, the universe, the gods themselves. The deuce brings with it love, marriage, and at the same time it is a symbol of the impermanent. Perfection was identified with three. It seemed extraordinary because it was the sum of the previous numbers. The number six was considered amazing, since it was obtained as a result of adding or multiplying all numbers that are divisible by 6. Six is ​​divisible by 1, 2, 3, and if you add or multiply these numbers, you get 6 again. Neither one different number.


Pythagorean theory

Pythagoras, his students and followers reduced all numbers to numbers from 1 to 9 inclusive, since they are the initial numbers from which all others can be obtained (this in itself is no longer credible, since in the binary number system, for example, such There is only one digit; in hexadecimal, on the contrary, it is fifteen). Various systems have been developed to reduce large numbers into elementary ones. The simplest and most popular method of obtaining these digits from numbers is to add all the digits of that number, then, if 10 or more are formed, add these digits as well. This process is continued until the elementary number from 1 to 9 is obtained (in some versions of numerological calculations, the two-digit numbers 11 and 22, also called the dominant ones, are not reduced to single digits). Any numbers can be subjected to such “analysis”: date of birth, telephone number, apartment number, and so on.

Numerological analysis of words

Numerological analysis of words, for example, a name, is also possible. The fact that a name distinguishes a person from other people serves as a basis for believing that it contains the individuality of a person. If a name is analyzed according to traditional rules, it will reveal character and destiny. To do this, tables are compiled where each letter of the name and birthday corresponds to a certain number. The sum obtained by adding these numbers is converted into a single-digit number from 1 to 9, which is considered the essence of the name. That is, certain character traits “correspond” to it and the fate of a person is determined by them.

Of course, neither horoscopes, nor the secrets of one’s birthday and name, nor the ill-fated numbers three, seven and others can influence the fate, character and activity of a person who believes in his abilities. But these and similar factors create additional emotions in a superstitious person, which in one case add energy and strength to him, give him greater confidence in achieving the goal obtained, bring some joy, but in another - suppress the will, cause a feeling of fear, apprehension, uncertainty and the futility of struggling with life's adversities.

Number meanings
In fairy tales and myths of many peoples, the numbers 3, 7, and 12 are widely used.

Number three

The superstitions that arose around the number three date back to a time when our ancestors could not count beyond three. In many religions this number is considered sacred.

In the ancient world, we are faced with three faces or three hypostases of female mythological characters (three graces, mountains, gorgons, erinyes). In Buddhism, the understanding of knowledge is perceived as trikaya (“threeness”). In addition, there is the symbol of the three jewels (tritarna) and the three signs of Buddhism - trilakshna.

On this basis, in the Christian religion, the idea of ​​the Holy Trinity is built - one God, appearing in three persons (hypostases): God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit, and almost all church rites and rituals are performed: the three-fingered folding of the fingers of the right hands with the sign of the cross, threefold immersion during the sacrament of baptism, threefold kissing at meetings and partings. On the third day after death, the soul leaves the body. The number three is a symbol of three Christian virtues: faith, hope and love. To protect the deceased from evil spirits, three candles are lit at his head.

There are many similar examples in other religious teachings. And not only in them. The number three is one of the most popular in folklore. Remember: a man has three sons or a king has three daughters, three tasks of fairy-tale heroes, three heads for a serpent, three heroes go to distant lands to a distant kingdom.

People say: “God loves the Trinity,” “Without the Trinity, a house cannot be built,” “The Trinity of fingers makes a cross.” And “damned” is a person who is cursed by all earthly and heavenly powers. A good worker works for three, a mighty tree has three girths, you can get lost in three pines, and you can lie about three boxes; misfortune or illness can bend into three deaths, but from fear threefold in the eyes.

The magic of the number seven

The number seven has been endowed with magical properties since ancient times. Why? But because the ancients saw in it a reflection of many phenomena of the world. In Ancient Babylon, people observed seven moving planets in the sky that supposedly revolved around the Earth: the Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus and Saturn. The Babylonians deified them and believed that the seven gods who settled on the planets controlled the destinies of people and nations. The origin of the seven-day week of the lunar month is apparently connected with the number of these celestial bodies. Since the Moon is visible in the sky for 28 days, this period was divided into four phases of seven days. For Arabs, Assyrians, and Jews, this number was an oath. “As strong as seven” is the French oath. The number seven appears frequently in the Bible (seven days of creation, seven sacraments, seven deadly sins). For a long time, only seven metals were recognized in alchemy. There were seven wonders of the world known on earth.

This figure occupies a large place in the mythology of the Ancient world. Atlas, who supported the firmament with his shoulders, had seven daughters - the Pleiades, whom Zeus turned into constellations; Odysseus was held captive by the nymph Calypso for 7 years. The underground river Styx flows seven times around hell, which in turn is divided into seven regions. The Babylonians have a kingdom surrounded by seven walls. According to Islam, there are seven heavens above us, and everyone pleasing to God goes to the seventh heaven of bliss, and the earth rests on seven oxen. The Hindus began the custom of giving seven elephants for good luck. Lent lasts seven weeks for Christians. The Bible talks about seven lamps of fire, seven bowls of God's wrath, seven angels, seven seals, seven years of plenty and seven years of famine. Setting sail during the global flood, Noah took into his ark seven pairs of clean and two pairs of unclean animals... In the Middle Ages, playing cards had a “seven-devil” that beat all other cards. The saying “the wicked witch seven” meant a grumpy spouse.

The “septenary” nature of the world was manifested, as they thought, in seven ages of human life: infancy - up to 7x1 = 7 years; adolescence - up to 7x2 = 14 years; youth - 7x 3 = 21 years; young man - up to 7x4 = 28 years; man - up to 7x7 = 49 years; elderly man - up to 7 x 8 = 56 years.

Echoes of the veneration of the seven have reached our time. Let's remember, for example, seven notes, seven colors of the rainbow. Remember the proverbs and sayings with the number seven... (“seven do not wait for one,” “seven troubles have one answer,” “seven spans in the forehead,” etc.) In addition to the well-known ones, you can also remember these: “And the righteous man falls seven times a day ”, an experienced person “he ate from seven ovens”, “people see who they are through seven walls”, “a fox will lead seven wolves”, “rather than send seven, it’s better to visit it yourself”, “with seven roads there are eight streets”. The Kazakhs have a saying: “Buried in the seventh depth of the earth,” used when talking about something that is too secret, inaccessible (in the sense that you can’t get to the bottom of it).

The question involuntarily arises: how to explain such a long-standing and widespread veneration of this number? The most convincing explanation was given by psychologist D. Miller. The researchers conducted various experiments. A blindfolded person, for example, was asked to determine by ear the pitch of the sound he heard from the speaker. When a person heard two or three different sounds, he never confused them. When subjects were asked to rate four sounds of different tones, they sometimes made mistakes. And at five and six, mistakes became frequent. Repeated experiments have shown that a person is able to distinguish no more than seven different tones.

Another experiment. The person was shown a piece of paper with dots marked on them. If there were no more than seven dots on the paper, he immediately named the correct number without counting. When there were more dots, errors began. Psychologists called the number seven “object of attention.” There is no longer an instantaneous grasp behind it. “Apparently,” Miller believes, “our body has some kind of limit that limits our abilities and ... is determined by the very structure of our nervous system.”

It turns out that long before the ancients deified the number seven, this number was well known to people. It reflected the property of their brain, its “throughput.”

So, what does the ancient science of numerology say about the meaning of the number 7?

7 - symbolizes mystery, as well as the study of the unknown and invisible. Astrologers think of seven as a perfect number. According to popular belief, the seventh son of the seventh son is endowed with incredible magical powers. Seven unites the integrity of 1 with the ideality of 6 and forms its own symmetry, making it truly a psychic number.

Seven is the number of luck, the most magical and sacred number, personifying wisdom, holiness and secret knowledge. This line of inconsistency can be continued. Here are such personality traits as diligence and a poetic soul, a penchant for analytical thinking and strong intuition, rich imagination, a lively, vivid imagination. 7 is a sign of nature's interest in human development. Composers and musicians, writers and poets, philosophers and hermits, thinkers and hermits are born and raised with this number. Their inspiration requires solitude and loneliness. This is their need and their element. With the number 7 they become bright personalities, people of worldwide renown. 7 conceals the ability to direct talent into the field of science, into the world of art or philosophy, into religious activity. But the success of their activities largely depends on a deep analysis of the results of what has already been achieved and on real planning for their future. 7 is a symbol of everything mysterious and magical, this is the most interesting and most mysterious number. Owners of 7 are talented, emotional and inquisitive, have a good sense of humor and a penchant for invention.


Baker's dozen

In English, 13 is often called “the baker’s dozen.” The origin of this name is due to the fact that in the Middle Ages, bakers, fearing the harsh penalties in force at that time for deceiving customers (up to cutting off a hand), usually added an extra bun to every dozen so as not to accidentally make a mistake.

In many European cities there are no houses, floors, or apartments numbered 13. This number is skipped when numbering seats on airplanes and buses, in auditoriums and train carriages. You won’t see this terrible number above the door of a hospital room... Why?

Yes, because everyone knows: according to ancient popular belief, the number 13 has long been called the devil’s dozen and is believed to bring misfortune. And if it falls on a Friday, then definitely expect trouble! If Monday is a “hard day,” then Friday is far from the most favorite day of the week among all peoples. Unknown forces can bring people a lot of trouble on this fateful day, because all the worst things that are individually in Friday and the number 13, when combined, are doubled. This date is called “the day of Satan” because of its ominous unpredictability. Fear of Friday the 13th is called paraskavedekatriaphobia or friggatriskaidekaphobia.

This is not a joke or an empty superstition at all. For example, in such a reputable publication as the British Medical Journal, it has been noted more than once that on Fridays, and especially the 13th, surgeons try not to schedule planned operations, because they know that the risk of failure on this day doubles! This unique phenomenon has hardly been studied by official medicine, but it exists.

By the way, the opinion that only people of simple origin believe in such prejudices is not entirely true. Even geniuses often feared this day. Goethe, for example, tried to spend this day in bed. Napoleon did not fight any battles, and Bismarck did not sign any documents. The writer Gabriele D. Annunzio in 1913 dated all his letters to 1912+1. And the composer Schoenberg, himself born on the 13th, spent the entire day of July 13, 1951, on Friday, under the covers, shaking with fear. Fifteen minutes before midnight, his wife said he had little left to be afraid of. But it all ended even earlier: Schoenberg barely raised his head, squeezed out the word “harmony” and died. Time of death - 23.47, 13 minutes to midnight.

The number of such examples is inexhaustible. Many people today believe in an unlucky day and support this belief with irrefutable facts. The German Automobile Club recently published its own data from many years of recording road accidents. You can explain this with anything and question it, but according to German traffic cops, on every Black Friday the number of road accidents increases by almost 60%!

If you ask the opinion of police officers from other departments, they will definitely say that on Fridays there are more thefts, robberies and murders than on other days of the week, and on Black Fridays the number of criminal acts increases even more. The number of suicides and plane crashes is also increasing significantly.

Moreover, the irrational fear of Friday and the number 13 is international. Muslims consider Friday the worst day to start any journey. To this day, most Western travel companies prefer to adhere to this golden rule: they never send tourists on trips and cruises on Fridays, and even more so on the 13th.

But not everyone is in awe of the onset of a “rainy day.” The Soviet poet Mark Lisyansky, for example, wrote this wonderful poem:

As for anyone, but for me thirteen
Lucky and generous number.
I don’t believe in omens, but I must admit,
I've always been lucky with the number thirteen.
I'll start with the fact that I became a man,
According to my calendar,
In the thirteenth year
At the beginning of the century, January 13th.
When I was thirteen I fell in love for the first time
My first teacher.
I was lucky in this difficult world
He slept on the grass and drank water from rivers.
As a child, I lived in apartment number thirteen,
I went to school number thirteen.
From a lived-in sunny paradise
I have climbed into utter hell more than once.
I died on the twelfth of May,
On the thirteenth of May I was resurrected.
Friends, I'm wearing a lucky shirt,
Lucky number come soon!
It's a pity I only have one daughter,
And we need thirteen daughters.
And there is only one life. And you need to be friends with her,
And after spring, celebrate spring.
It would be nice to have thirteen lives,
Thank you for one for now!

There are also those who protest against this sign. The ship was called “Friday” because, contrary to all superstitions, it was laid down on the day of the same name. A man named Pyatnitser was appointed captain of this vessel. The British Admiralty did all this with the sole purpose of demonstrating the absurdity and absurdity of the superstition firmly rooted in the Royal Navy, according to which Friday is an unlucky day for a sailor. On Friday, “Friday” went on a test voyage and disappeared without a trace along with Pyatnitser and the entire crew. As if she sank into the water.

At the end of the last century, “Club 13” was organized in London, whose members decided to fight stupid superstitions. On January 13, 1894, they gathered at 13 tables of 13 people each in a large restaurant, in room No. 13. For complete happiness, one person was still missing - the 13th at one table. A note of apology was soon delivered: “My courage failed me at the last moment,” wrote Mr. George R. Sims. Thus the first attempt to overcome the “black” number failed.

Daredevils are still trying to challenge “Black Fridays” and other symbols of misfortune. In the state of Philadelphia, several very wealthy people were determined to show that they were far from prejudices and superstitions. They united in a club, which they ironically called “Friday the 13th.” Every 13th day of the month, thirteen people gather in room 13 of a local hotel, tempting fate and challenging it. On these days, lavish dinners are held, and then everyone enthusiastically commits various follies - breaking mirrors to smithereens, opening umbrellas in rooms (this is considered a bad omen), scattering handfuls of salt, releasing black cats from their cages, and committing similar follies.

By the way, many nations have a belief: “Do not gather thirteen at one table,” because in this case one of them will leave this mortal world before the end of the year. In the Russian version, this is reflected in the proverb: “The thirteenth guest is under the table.” There was even a profession for the “fourteenth guest,” who was invited to the meeting specifically to avoid the unlucky number.

Where did the belief in the fatality of Friday and the number 13 come from?

There is a belief that “discrimination” has its roots in Scripture. One popular explanation is the Last Supper, of which the thirteenth member was the traitor Judas. Many Christians claim that Christ was crucified on the 13th. Some biblical scholars believe that Eve tempted Adam to eat the forbidden fruit on Friday. And finally, it is believed that Cain killed Abel just on Friday the 13th. In ancient Rome, witches gathered in groups of 12 people. The 13th was believed to be the devil. Another version comes from the Middle Ages: supposedly 12 witches organized covens together with Satan. Modern scientists are still looking for an explanation for this phenomenon. Thomas Fensler, a mathematician at the University of Delaware, concluded that the negative reputation of the number 13 is due to its position after 12. The fact is that numerologists consider 12 to be a truly perfect number. There are 12 months in a year, there are 12 signs of the zodiac, 12 gods on Olympus, 12 labors of Hercules, 12 tribes of Israel and 12 disciples of Christ... The number 13 violates this perfection. The scientist also believes that the fear of the 13th also comes from the Scandinavian myth about the 12 gods who feasted on Valhalla. They were joined by the 13th uninvited guest - the evil Loki. Once at the feast, he made sure that the blind god of darkness, Hoder, killed the god of joy, Balder the Handsome, with an arrow. Balder died, and the whole earth became dark.

However, there is no exact historical date that would be officially identified as the origin of superstition. There are many versions about the origin of this concept. For example, this one. Friday, October 13, 1066 was the last day of the reign of the Saxon king Harold ΙΙ. On this day, William offered to cede the crown to Harold, but Harold rejected the offer. The Battle of Hastings occurred the next day. Harold was killed and William took control of England.

Or this version, voiced, for example, in Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code. It is said that King Philip IV the Fair arrested and executed most of the Knights Templar. Their arrest was organized on one day, and that day was Friday, October 13, 1307. This event gave rise to the legend of Unlucky Friday the 13th.

Some independent experts involved in the study of anomalous phenomena believe that it was not for nothing that humanity has been afraid of certain days of the week since ancient times. The fact is that calendars, in their deepest essence, reflect not only the countdown of time, but also carry certain information about the cyclicity of the so-called “voltage peaks” of invisible forces in the universe, which are inextricably linked with the Earth’s noosphere. Even the legendary fortuneteller Spurinna urged Caesar to be wary of certain days. Perhaps, if he had listened and not appeared in the Senate then, the tension would have subsided, and the conspiracy against him would have crumbled on its own, since the peak of the tension of negative energy would have passed.

Fear of the “devil's dozen” is a fairly common phenomenon. It is even included in the classification of neuroses called triscadekaphobia (fear of the number 13). According to some estimates, in the US alone, on one such day, the economy suffers damage of 800-900 million dollars - due to canceled flights and imperfect transactions. Friday the 13th affects between 17 and 21 million people in the United States. Symptoms of the disease range from mild anxiety to large-scale panic, causing people to sometimes completely change their business decision, schedule, or even refuse to work that day. The practical cure for fear of the 13th is very simple - focus on the pleasant things that sometimes happen on this day, and not dwell on the failures. Folklore of different nations offers other cures: climb to the top of a mountain or skyscraper and burn all your holey socks there. Or, standing on your head, eat a piece of cartilage. What to do - choose for yourself.
