Well, I knew this was coming, and I was hoping that I'd have something really good to say on entry number Nine... it seems auspicious, considering. My own 'destiny number' is 9... in a cycle, the number 9 can mean the final stage of something, or the end of an era. However, this also indicates that the beginning of something new is right around the corner... Alpha and Omega, if you will, and the number of 'Universal Influence.'
Nine is more than interesting, mathematically speaking... and the number nine is 'significant' in so many ways... I'm going to make the Ninth Entry about the number Nine. Oh, right... I almost forgot... 'Morris' the finicky cat eats 'Nine Lives' food... only. Only the best, since we 'are what we eat,' isn't that right my buffet-driven friends? Goodness only knows what's been up in there... but I digress.
Of all the single digit numbers, nine (9) may be the most profound. Composed of three trinities (3 times 3 equals 9), nine represents the principles of the sacred Triad taken to their utmost expression. The Chaldeans believed 9 to be sacred, and kept it apart in their numerology from the other numbers. Nine has been and in some cases still is considered thrice sacred and represents perfection, balance, order -- in effect, the supreme superlative.

(9/22/9) A late addition to the marvelous world of Nines is a three-dimensional magic... double tetrahedron (or star tetrahedron). See, for example, the forum thread at 09/09/09.
In Numerology, the positive characteristics of nine (9) are selflessness, fulfillment, completion, universality, universal understanding, interrelatedness, compassion, idealism tolerance, forgiveness, generosity, benevolence, humanitarianism, emotionalism, and justice. Nine is also associated with accomplished artists and thinkers who are inspired by universal truths. Simultaneously, 9 can represent negative characteristics, from selfishness to extravagance to vulgarity -- essentially the opposites of the positive characteristics.
In the base 10 system, where all numbers are represented by ten distinct forms (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9), nine is the final number. As such, it becomes a limit, a bound, or the ultimate attainment. The Greeks called “nine” the horizon, where the Ennead, or the nothing/void lay beyond. Expressions such as “a cat has nine lives”, a “cat-o’-nine-tails”, “the whole nine yards”, “cloud nine”, “dressed to the nines”, “a stitch in time saves nine”, and “possession is nine point (or nine-tenths) of the law” are all variations of the concept of the ninth level being the nth degree, the highest level, or the maximum possibility.
Ancient and modern traditions are replete with ninefold symbolism. The Norse God Odin, ruler of the 9 Norse worlds, hung 9 days on the world axis or Yggdrasil tree to win the secrets of wisdom for mankind. In Scandinavia, 9 day fertility feasts were held every 9 years. There were 9 Norse giantesses, who strode 9 paces at a time and lived at the edge of the sea and land. The city of Troy in Homer’s Iliad and Oddessey was besieged for 9 years, while Odysseus wandered for 9 more years in trying to return home. The Greek goddess, Demeter, was depicted with 9 ears of wheat and searched 9 days for her daughter Persephone. The birth of Apollo and Artemis by Leto took 9 days and nights. The Greeks also honored 9 muses, while the Egyptians honored a company of 9 “gods” or neteru. Egyptian pharaohs, meanwhile, were often symbolized by 9 bows. Celtic traditions talk of 9 Celtic maidens and 9 virgins attending Bridget, while the sacred Beltane fire rites were attended by a cycle of 9 groups of 9 men. Aztec, Mayan, and Native American myths describe 9 cosmic levels (four above, earth, and four below). As the most auspicious number of celestial power in ancient Chinese, 9 became the rule in 9 great social laws, 9 classes of officials, 9 sacred rites, and 9-story pagodas. The festival of the “double yang” was held on the 9th hour of the 9th day of the 9th month. In Christian symbolism, there are 9 orders of angelic choirs in 9 circles of heaven and 9 orders of devils within 9 rings of hell -- possibly accounting for the fact that it took 9 days for Lucifer and his angels to fall from heaven. And speaking of fallen angels and/or hell, there are 9 justices of the United States Supreme Court!
There were 9 Gods of the Sabines (an ancient tribe of Italy): Aeneas, Bacchus, Esculapius, Fides, Fortuna, Hercules, Romulus, Santa, and Vesta. Medieval theology listed 9 orders of Angels, i.e., Seraphim, Cherubim, Thrones, Dominions, Virtues, Powers, Principalities, Archangels, and Angels; 9 Stones: Sapphire, Emerald, Carbuncle, Beryl, Onyx, Chrysolite, Jasper, Topaz, and Sardis; and 9 Beatitudes. In heraldry, there are 9 accepted places on the shield that signify the heralidic arms. There are even 9 Worthies, famous individuals comparable to the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World: Alexander (the Great), Hector, Julius Caesar, Joshua, David, Judas Maccabaeus, King Arthur, Charlemagne, and Godfrey of Bouillon. [See Clovis I to Godfroi and Crusades and Secret Societies.] There are even 9 magnitudes of the Richter Earthquake Scale (the latter theoretically possible but has never occured during human history -- it would amount to probably four times the intensity of the 1964 Alaskan earthquake).

Nine gates... and thrice sacred... just as Hermes was known by the appellation of 'Trismegistus,' - thrice great. He was obviously also a 'Nine.' Now, this is all very interesting, for those who like to 'play the numbers,' from the same website:
There is a proliferation of 9’s which keep cropping up in the 360 degree circle -- as well as 3’s and 6’s, the natural components of 9. This is particularly true when we apply the tool of reduction from Numerology. For example, 666 can be reduced to 6+6+6=18, and 1+8=9. Any number can be similarly reduced (although, repeated numbers such as 22 or 55 are often referred to as “Master Numbers” and are not always automatically reduced by numerologists). The numbers in the table above, for example, reduce in the manner of: 360=9; 180=9; 120=3; 90=9; 72=9; 60=6; 45=9; 40=4; 36=9, and 30=3. Notice that the only number not 3, 6, or 9 is 4 (but was derived from dividing 360 by 90)!
But notice something even more curious. Both quotients of 7 and 11 yield a series of repeating numbers which numerologically reduce to 9, i.e. 1+4+2+8+5+7=27; and 2+7=9. At the same time, the missing numbers in the 7-sequence are 3, 6, and 9!
The singular importance of the divisors 7 and 11 has been pointed out by Michael Glickman [1]. In addition, Michael Schneider [2] has pointed out that any digit divided by 9 yields a repeating sequence of only one number: For example:
Number Divided by 7 Divided by 9
1 0.142857 142857... 0.11111111111...
2 0.2857 142857 14... 0.22222222222...
3 0.42857 142857 1... 0.33333333333...
4 0.57 142857 1428... 0.44444444444...
5 0.7 142857 14285... 0.55555555555...
6 0.857 142857 142... 0.66666666666...
7 1.0000000000000... 0.77777777777...
8 1.142857 142857... 0.88888888888...
9 1.2857 142857 14... 0.99999999999... *
[* One reader, who shall remain nameless, has pointed out that 9 divided by 9 equals 1 -- and not 0.999999999...! However the Wonders of Math might suggest otherwise.]
An astounding result is that any number other than a multiple of 7 will result in the same 142857 sequence as a quotient when being divided by 7! This explains why 7 was considered sacred by the ancients -- along with the number 12; 7 being the terrestrial holy number and 12 the heavenly holy number.
And speaking of 'master numbers,' nine finds its way into those, too...
The quotients of 11, 22, 33, 44... always yield a two-digit number (e.g. 27, 63, 90, 81...) which all reduce to 9 [which, incidentally also works whatever the number being divided]. The remaining quotients have longer repeating sequences, but incredibly the sequences still reduce to 9! For example, the sums of the underlying sequences for 17 and 34 yield 72/9; for 19 and 38, 81/9; 23 and 46 yield 99/9; 29 and 58 yield 126/9, and 31 and 62 give 54/9. Simultaneously, we note that 17 has a (17-1) 16 digit sequence, 19 an (19-1) 18 digit sequence, 23 a (23-1) 22 digit sequence, and 29 a (29-1) 28 digit sequence. Plus which, in all of the sequences listed above -- with the exception of 31 -- the first half of the sequences, when added to the last half of the sequences, yield 9999999... It is probably relevant that 30 yields a 15 digit sequence, where two of the sequences raise the sequence total to 30 -- and continue the previous sequential sizes in some not totally clear fashion...
And for those enamored with Richard Hoagland’s observation that numerous very important events have been occurring on July 20th on various years -- including the first lunar landing, the Priore de Sion (1000 year old secret society) coming out of the closet, the Clementine Mission diversion to Mars, etceteras, etceteras. We might point out that July 20th is often written 7-20... which -- you’ll never believe this -- reduces to 9.
And so, as we complete (what was orginally) the 9th page of this tome at the 9th hour on the 9th day of March 2001, we bid you all a... Well... You know... Completion.
Very interesting, that last bit, wouldn't you say? And, Well... I think I do 'know'...
