《Numbers: Their Occult Power and Mystic Virtue》數字的神秘象徵 (Occult Power of Numbers)William Wynn Westcott (1890)
The Monad being esteemed the Father of number is the reason for the universal prejudice in favour of Odd Numbers over Even ones which are but copies of the first even number the Duad, or universal Ivlotlier ; the father being more esteemed than the mother, for " Might." Odd numbers were given to the greater Gods, and even ones to the inferior and terrestrial deities.
