Numbers... The magickal properties of the numbers listed below are a compilation of info I've obtained from several sources including:  Scott Cunningham's Wicca, A Guide for the Solitary Practitioner and Nancy Garen's Tarot Made Easy.  For double digit numbers, add the individual numbers together until you get a single digit then read the property of that number.  
(Example-  17 would be 1 + 7 = 8.  Look up number 8 to find the meaning of 17.)
