- NEW!
by flizzera on September 1st, 2004
We have a heptagon as one of our winning logo images because seven is the lucky winning number in some traditional games of chance. We like the septilateral shape and, just for fun, have gone heptamerous in our design. Win one of our main prizes and you will be in seventh heaven!
Why is seven lucky? We are not entirely certain - but we did find many special sevens : from the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World ... to seven days of the week.
Seven more sevens:
• Pythagoreans called it the perfect number, 3 and 4, the triangle and the square, the perfect figures.
• Seven ancient planets - the sun was the greatest planet of the ancient seven and next to the sun, the moon, changing in all its splendour every seventh day. Seven visible planets and luminaries (Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn).
• Books ...The Seven Pillars of Wisdom by T E Lawrence, Enid Blyton's Secret Seven series ... Stephen Covey's Seven Habits of Highly Effective People ... Reiki and the Seven Chakras ...
• Seven Deadly Sins.
• The Trumpton fire brigade. (Pugh, Pugh, Barney, Magrew, Cuthburt, Dibble and Grub)
• Seven Seas
• In Chinese culture, the seventh day of the first moon of the lunar year is known as Human's Day to be celebrated as the universal birthday of all human beings.

Have you ever feared that someone would put a hex upon you? What method did you suspect? What religion did that person practice?
