Abstract

The number 13 reminds us of the "other," that which is mysterious, beyond reason, unknown, and only suggested through myth. The number 13 is mystical because it marks such a significant point in the counting of things; therefore it is with 13 that the realm of the unknown starts - the realm where things must be counted to be valued.
