ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Do numbers have a spiritual language — or do we simply project meaning onto them?
In Part 2 of our number symbolism series, we explore the mysterious meanings humans have given to numbers across cultures and traditions — from the Bible’s 7, 12, and 40, to Gematria and Kabbalah, the sacred 108 in Hinduism and Buddhism, Chinese number symbolism and the I Ching, and even the philosophical origins of zero.
Then we turn to Tarot, exploring how numbers 0–10 connect with — and sometimes differ from — ancient systems of symbolism, and what the court cards add to the story.
Discover why numbers are such powerful symbols, why different civilizations sometimes gave the same numbers sacred meanings, and how you can use number symbolism as a tool for reflection rather than a set of rigid rules.
✨ This is Part 2 of our Number Symbolism series.
Listen to Part 1 for the science, history, and deeper story behind 666.
