The Mystical Number Seven

http://newage.about.com/religion/newage/gi/dynamic/offsite.htm?site=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.themystica.com%2Fmystica%2Farticles%2Fm%2Fmystical_number_seven.html

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Perhaps the numeral seven is considered the most mystical of all numbers because it is the one number which cannot be divided evenly into the circle. This is always a dividend as the following chart illustrates:

CIRCLE DIVISOR = DIVIDEND

360/1 = 360
360/2 = 180
360/3 = 120
360/4 = 90
360/5 = 72
360/6 = 60
360/7 = 51.428571
360/8 = 45
360/9 = 40

Further references to the numeral seven:

The dividend from the division of the circle by the number seven is intriguingly close to the outer angle of the Great Pyramid: 51 degrees and 51 minutes.

The mystical nature of Pi: The number 22 is considered symbolic of a complete circle, or the circle, because this is reflected by the twenty-two letters in the Hebrew alphabet, the twenty-two keys in the Major Arcana of the Tarot (Keys 1 - 21, plus the Fool) and indicating the full circle of experience. The function 22/7, one cycle of human experience divided by the spiritual Seven or Divinity within. This function is the value of Pi; or, the closet to it as can be expressed in whole digits. The discovery of Pi was a significant breakthrough in mathematics because its value is the relationship between the circumference of a circle and its radius and diameter; Pi presented humankind with a formula by which these things might be easily measured. A.G.H.

thought this would come in VERY handy in the future,
