Some General Comments and Illustrations of the Septenary Law
“In the series of basic numbers, one to ten, seven alone is neither a product of others nor a producer of others; It is a prime itself, and if you multiply it by anything else you overshoot ten and are outside the series.”
1. Nature delights in seven.” There is a seven day week. On the seventh day God ended the work of creation, and “He blessed it and sanctified it.”
2. Seven is classed as prosperous by Heydon, and it is generally so regarded.
3. Seven is an entirely religious number, and as much has been esteemed by the ancients. It represents the triumph of Spirit over Matter.
4. The 7th Path in the Sepher Yetzirah is that of Occult Intelligence and represents the combination of faith and Intellect.
5. In the Highest Sphere – 7 is the 7 – lettered name of God.
6. In the Sphere of Intellect 7 there are 7 of these Angels before the throne of God – (Gabriel, Michael, Haniel, Raphael, Camael, Zadkiel, Zaphiel).
7. In the Heavenly Sphere 7 includes the 5 planets, the Sun and the Moon.

THE LIFECYCLE OF SEVEN - J.E.Adetoro
Each of us is governed by seven cycles of 52 days from the day we were born. We can thus divide the year into 7 periods of 52 days each.
1st Cycle: is the best time to advance your personal interest, with others who can influence to help you in business, employment, partnerships, loans, investments.
2nd Cycle: Also 52 days excellent for moving about or moving goods in lines of business, good for public performances and lectures. Do not borrow or lend money during this cycle.
3rd Cycle: 52 days – a period which requires good judgement especially. A good time to expand effort to build up health or business. It is favourable for women to appeal to men for favours. Avoid arguments.
4th Cycle: 52 days period good for mental and spiritual efforts and stimulation. Imagination is charged – good period to deal with literary people. Good for study and for giving information. Not for marriage, buying business or land.
5th Cycle: 52 days. A good period for expansion and increase of prosperity. Good time for legal activity, money, profession and business. Good for planning new business.
6th Cycle: This is a period of rest, relaxation and amusement. Good time for artistic, literary, aesthetic improvement and a good time to seek for.
7th Cycle: Is the most crucial period of your yearly cycle. It is also the last cycle before your personal year starts. Do not begin something new, let your intuition guide you.
Note: that each period or cycle tends to overlap. Be careful to give good judgement on the first two and last two days of each cycle. Besides the cycles in the year, there is a seven year cycle in each person’s life.

'The Number, Seven (7)' By J.E. Adetoro
It was in 1974 when I was reviewing a number of perso
nal matters that I first became more than casually conscious of the definite relationship of numbers to human beings, their activities and other realms of existence. In general parlance, one talks of a “lucky” number or “lucky” day.
Over the years I had formed the habit of designing and printing my own Christmas and New Year Cards. I wanted something more original and more personal for the end of 1974, which was a very significant year for me. It was the year at the end of which I had completed seven years and seven months service as a Federal Commissioner.
I was curious to know if I had more associations with the number SEVEN and it was this curiosity which introduced me to the study of numerology and biorhythm. I came across some interesting facts, and statements. For example, ‘White Eagle states, “This mystical number “seven” is fundamental not only to man’s own body his temple but to the entire universe. There are seven Rays of life and have their being. At the end of each Ray is one of the great masters of the Wisdom, and behind these are the angels and archangels around the throne of God.
From each Ray comes forth again seven, and from each again yet another seven so that behind and within the veil of physical life manifestation reveal more than a casual relationship with the number seven.”
My own first name – EYITAYO – has 7 letters and my family name ADETORO also contains 7 letters. Although my baptismal name – JOSEPH – has 6 and not 7 letters, I like to point out that Joseph in the Bible is the psychic dreamer of the 7 fat and 7 lean cows that predicted the historical Egyptian cycle of seven years of abundance which were followed by seven years of famine. Joseph is also singled out by his coat of many colours. It is of course to be presumed that Joseph’s coat has the seven colours of the rainbow.
And on further reflection I was able to map out many more personal associations with the number 7. for example, I was born in 1933 – 7 years to the end of the decade. I began my formal education in “kindergarten” class in 1939 in my 7th year. Two years of “Kindergarten” were followed by five years in the primary school to complete another 7 years cycle.
For 6 calender or 7 academic years I attended the solitary provincial Middle School at Okene in what is now Kwara State and at the Northern Regional Government’s only Secondary educational institution, which from its foundation as Katsina Higher College in 1922 had metamorphosed 6 times before settling down as Barewa College, Zaria.
My personal cycle of seven rolls on when I add my three years as a foundation student at the Nigerian College of Arts, Science and Technology in Zaria, at the University College, Ibadan and the one year at Oxford University before taking my first job. My fourth cycle of educational sevens is made up of four years as the senior English master and Vice-Principal of Kiriji Memorial College, Igbajo (now in Oyo State) followed with another stretch of three years of post graduate studies at the University of Birmingham and the University of Alberta in Canada.
There are numerous other incidents and occasions that I have consciously and subconsciously attracted to the number 7. For example on resuming full work at the University of Lagos after a period of seven years and seven months with the military Government, I was caught up in the retirement and dismissal tornado of 1975.
On calculation I found to my great pique that I was retired after lecturing for an additional 7 months since my resumption on a full time basis. And that great change took place approximately 7 weeks before my 42nd birthday – and 42 is of course 7 x 6. My luck of educational sevens ran out when I subtracted 42 from 65 years – the statutory retirement age for University teachers.
It was during the early years of my enforced retirement that I stumbled intuitively on most of the statistical evidence which enabled me to share the views of White Eagle and Veral Stanley Adler that: “The number (7) rules many of the processes of growth on earth.” But the word “seven” refers not only to one thing repeated seven times, but also to a cycle of days, weeks or ages, during which a function, manifestation human, terrestrial, or cosmic is consummated, and returns on higher spiral, with the additional characteristics molded into it during the “sevening” period, to the status quo ante.”
