Lucky Number Seven

Why aren’t there eight days of the week? Why aren’t there nine deadly sins?

Seven is said to be a sacred number in all cultures and traditions.

From the sublime to the ridiculous, there are:

● Seven ages of man
● Seven colours of the rainbow,
● Seven wonders of the ancient world
● Seven gates of hell
● Seven primary chakras
● Seven Christian sacraments
● Seven Sisters (the Pleiades)
● Seven dwarfs

And many other magnificent sevens too numerous to list in this post.

The Hebrew word for Seven comes from the root of a word that means complete.
Ancient Egyptians saw the number 7 as a symbol of Eternal Life.

Seven is also said to symbolise the universe. It represents the Collective Mind and Universal Love. It is associated with feelings and instincts.

It is seen as a symbol of spiritual perfection.

Apparently when asked to think of a number between 1 and 10, most people think of the number 7.
