Product Description
Numbers permeate every aspect of our lives; very little happens without a basic ability to manipulate the simple whole numbers we all take for granted. gorgeously illustrated with old engravings as well as contemporary imagery, Sacred Number introduces basic counting systems; significant numbers from major religious texts; the importance of astronomy, geometry, and music to number quality; how numbers affect architecture. Lundy explains why the ideas of Pythagoras still resonate, and she profiles each number from one to ten to show its distinct qualities: why, for example, the golden section is associated with five, and seven with the Virgin Mary.
Reader Reviews
This little book taught me even more about the sacred qualities of numbers than I ever would have imagined! I've studied various numerological systems such as The Enneagram (Helen Palmer is best) and numerology along with crystal studies. I was shocked to see the Enneagram structure in it! This book has a bunch to offer who look for quality over just quantity. We've become too numbed to our mathematics and quantifications. Time to see through a different lens. Highly recommended!
