Numbers Are They Holy Or Magical? Options

As anyone will tell you numerology is an important part of magic here is what confuses me.

Do Catholics not accept the significance of magical numbers or do they think them evil like they do magic in general?

This is because some of the main magical numbers in use are 3 7 13 and these crop up in the bible and the significance of some of them is emphasised.

for instance

3 = the holy trinity, wise men
7 = the days of creation + the arch angels
13 = the number of apostles and jesus

are these numbers of a holy nature or a magical nature? or both?

can someone please tell me why numbers became so embedded in magic and why the number 15 is assosciated with ishtar.

i had thought the number 2 more linked to her because in love there are two people, and in war there are two sides. if you could give any reason why certain gods are given certain numbers i would be very much grateful.

thank you

Back in ancient times, people were nowhere near as educated as we are nowadays. Numbers held a certain fascination for them.


Mathematics was seen as a "mysterious" science. As such, they ascribed mystical properties to certain numbers. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blablabla.gif)
