Thirteen

One and three are 4; nothing is unlucky about the number 13. three and one or one and three; it adds up to 4, when reduced to a singular digit. Numerology reveals the truth about things and four is a healthy number. The mystery of 13, is that so much can be conjured, in the human imagination. four is power; four corners of the Earth have four angels, to watch over them. Four leaf clovers are lucky; the power of fortune, is a strong faith that manifests. four branches complete the circle of the celtic cross; all crosses are four-limbed. Four aspects, are the colors on the medicine wheel; offering healing, to those who comprehend its gifts. Four is wholeness; one and three, three and one; four is the offspring of the 13. Divide it by twos and see the a duality of all revealed.

Thank you. I was playing with numerology one evening and thought about how the number 13 really doesn't deserve it's bad reputation.

Interesting, in the Chinese Culture 4 represents death and the number 8 is good luck and means long life. I much prefer your perspective.

Thank you. My perspective is a spiritual one, which I share with many Native American beliefs.

I LOVE numerology. I am curious why the first line says one and three are five. The rest of it made sense to me though. Are you a four? it is one that is a bit incompatible with my 5 and 7, but I have many friends that are 4's! The number of the folks who are fair and square!!
