Wheel of Being
World of the Numbers...
 The ancient people..being that they were not near as advanced as we are today looked at the world totally different from us...but also we have to remember that even though they did not have all the modern technologies we have, they did have many other special gifts..and some of the ancients were very advanced....
We have all heard stories of Atlantis, and other mythical communities like Lumeria who were so advanced that they misused the abilities and gifts they had and were ultimately destroyed...
The ancient Celtic people, like others of the day, also had wonderful abilities and gifts...
In their daily lives numbers played a big role...they did not look at the world the way we do today and they were so close to nature that they watched what was around them with much enjoyment...
The Irish of ancient times used numbers in their daily lives to represent important properties.... these I'm going to show you and then tell you what the wheel of being means today....
Aon (i:n): The number one is symbolic of being...it represents spiritual unity...
Dó (de): Two is the echo, reflection, conflict and counterpoise. It indicates passage of time.
Tri (t'r'i): This is, three, the first formal magical number. It indicates a sense of completion and unity.
Ceathair (k'aher'): As with other cultures, the Irish used four to symbolize the earth and terrestial space.
Cúig (ku:g'): Universally, five is the symbol of man. It is the four limbs plus the head and the four fingers plus the thumb.
Sé (s'e): Six is the number of ambivalence and equilibrium. It is also the second of the cycle of 3...2x3=6
Seacht (s'axt): Seven in universal thought represents "perfect order," a complete period or cycle
Ocht (ó:xt): Eight, in universal symbolism, signifies the infinite.
Naoi (ni:): Nine is the most magical number in Irish symbology. The number nine was completeness. It is the triple of the 3.
Deich (d'ex'): Ten is the symbol of abstract creativity.
Aon Deag (i:n deg'): Universally, eleven is considered a number of transition, excess and conflict
Dó deag (deg'): The Irish viewed the number 12 as the number of preparation for what may be difficult times ahead.
Tri (t'r'i' deg'): True, 13 is a symbol of being prepared for difficult times, but it is not the end. It is the state of being prepared, of having all actions taken. It is completion and the willing acceptance of what lies ahead.
The Wheel of Being is an ancient symbol that interconnected the four elements or powers with a fifth, called the balance...
So in honour of the ancients, I have created the Wheel of Being. It will be the home of my trilogies in shadows...so anything in multiples will be here...
Each new shadow that is a magical group will join this clan...
The first being....Sirens of the Seas...so come and join the ancients...
