8:
Infinity on side
Number of electrons in full atom nucleus
Atomic number of oxygen
NOW there are 8 planets (don't know if this counts)
tarot cart #8 is strength
In the middle ages, 8 was the number of "unmoving" stars in the sky, and symbolized the perfectioning of incoming planetary energy
Lucky in Chinese culture


That's what I found intriguing. There were some things about other religions and some more recent stuffs, but these seemed plausible.

Apologies, iamcool. You did point out the 8 beforehand. Chalk my oversight up to me trying to get through 7 pages of posts as quickly as possible so that I could contribute.

That probably means I should remove that special program I have that turns all your posts into pictures of dancing penguins then, huh? :)

Anyhow....back on topic... how 'bout them magic numbers?

Lurker noticed Gemma said the family disappeared when she was 8, which, as she's 19, would have been a little more than 11 years ago-- possibly meaning that Bree's time is coming up, and that posisbly the ceremony is done every 12 years, or something to that effect.

Someone also pointed out Tachy's 112 bowling score, which could have some significance, since she brought it up again in The Human Ransom.

There might be other theories, but those are the only ones I really remember. :P
Yeah, I'm quote myself. I'm lazy.

Bree even made a video about poor Pluto not being a planet anymore, didn't she? That should count as another 8.

I don't think that gets to count as an 8, just because this note is coming from Tachyon, who is clearly looking at the bigger picture of the Order than Bree is. Just my opinion, though.

Theta is the 8th letter, Mu is the 12th. So that's one more 12, but the 8 = ?.

12 months in a year
its february now
8 months from now is october
isnt crowleys birthday in october?

He was born on the 12th of October in fact-- which was originally the 8th month in the Julian calender that started in March, and "octo" obviously means 8...


Although, if Tachyon knew he was born on the 12th, she would know he was born in October...
but that whole aspect of it could just not mean anything.

That could totally be something.

I don't think it was ever said that the ceremony would be in October. They just alluded to October 12 (with no indication of what it would mean), and we all knew it was Aleister Crowley's birthday, so we then assumed it would be the ceremony.
