This process of adding numbers together to better understand their significance
is a practice much used in ceremonial magick, but seemingly forgotten in the
natural magick of Wicca & Paganism. It was, however, part of the Magick of
Pagan Europe because the practice of repeating a charm once, then twice,
then three times (a total of 6) is still a part of many old European Spells.
The number six is symbolized by the six-pointed star, among other things.
