⭐ Reader reviews
Reader rating
Miranda Lundy’s 'Sacred Number' offers a compelling exploration of numerical symbolism that bridges the gap between dry mathematics and spiritual inquiry. The book successfully illuminates fascinating structures like gnomons and magic squares, alongside ancient wisdom regarding cosmic numbers. However, it does NOT suit readers seeking rigorous academic proof or complex mathematical derivations; this is a work of esoteric interpretation, not technical study. It is best appreciated by those interested in the aesthetic and symbolic rather than the analytical. While some may find the scope limited to twelve, the accessible tone makes it a delightful addition to any shelf dedicated to sacred texts and occult studies.
