《Numbers: Their Occult Power and Mystic Virtue》數字的神秘象徵 (Occult Power of Numbers)William Wynn Westcott (1890)
John Heydon tells us that 8 Events befall the Damned, and that there are 8 rewards of the Blessed. The number 8 is sacred to Dionysos, who was born at the 8th month : the isle of Naxos was dedicated to him and it was granted to the women of Naxos, that their children born in the 8th month should live, whereas it is usual for such to die, although those born in either the 7th or the 9th month are usually reared.
