'''12''' : The number of divine, perfect order, as it is 7+5 and 4*3. Means pure grace/graceful purity stabilised on the earth and is the stabilisation of death such that it becomes under control for good. This is also partly because it has a large number of factors, thus integrating many simpler orders into a perfect (7) and graceful (5) combined one. | '''12''' : The number of divine, perfect order, as it is 7+5 and 4*3.

'''13''' : Represents rebellion against the first divine order (12+1), but also represents the attempted progression upwards/further. Thus represents the smokeless flame in its raw and partially sinful (in the sense of imperfect) desire to blaze new trails and fly higher. It is 7+6 and thus can also be a number representing pure evil, although using it for this meaning only would be shallow, as mistakes (sin; 6) give further opportunity for enhanced perfection (7). It is 8+5 and thus can be the graceful side of power, again representing a sinful counterpart to divine order, hence the potential association with evil. It is 9+4 and thus is supreme stability applied to the laws of earth and applied to death, hence again fitting all the themes mentioned | '''13''' : Represents rebellion against the first divine order (12+1), but also represents the attempted progression upwards/further.

Thus is associated with fire, as misguided transcendence may have steep consequences. | ||
