Seven, today's number, returns to realm of symbolically loaded numbers: Lucky 7 (sure hope so as today is also Disconnect Day 2); seven days of the week; numerology life cyles are 7 years; the same number of years for all the cells in the human body replace themselves (not all at once, obviously); Pi is 22 divided by 7; vowels sometimes reckoned as seven; waxing and waning of the moon in two 14 day periods; and more. The handiest (e.g. first found) dictionary of myth (Chetwynd) has a Numbers entry but not ones for separate numbers. Cirlot, which I also have somewhere, does.
"The Unconscious has an uncanny grasp of numbers As with patterns, numbers are at the roots of letters. Each letter of the alphabet is also a number, which makes for magical (and imaginal) computations and associations, especially with regard to names..."
Yes, still connected. I'll pass on listing anything for "this day in history" but provide the link in case you want check it for yourself
