FOUR, NUMBER
This is a number significant of system and order;
and so there are to be found in the universe and soul many
arrangements in sets of fours, which sets have relations in
correspondence with each other and binding them together.
“They that venerate the number Four do not ill to teach that by
reason of this number every body has its origin. The number four,
after having carried Nature forward up to completing a body and
producing double bulk and resistance has yet left it deficient in
the most important article (Olympus)." PLUTARCH, On the E at Delphi,
§ 13.
This statement is to indicate that the number four applies rather to
the natural order of things, the quaternary, and does not include
the spiritual (Olympus).
"Four is symbolic of the world, and nature, and of man by nature." -
J. GARNIER, The Worship of the Dead, p. 220.
