When using numbers in spells, work out what number/s suit your magickal working, and then work out what you can do to incorporate that number into your spell/ritual. For example if you were doing a protection spell, you might use the number 7. There are many ways you can use the number 7 in your spell. You might like to chant a line 7 times, you could dance around the circle 7 times. You could do the spell at 7:00 on the 7th day of the week on the 7th day of the month, in the 7th month of the year. (if you want to do a powerful spell to protect you for a year, until the next year). Or you
could incorporate a few things together, such as the Pentagram (which symbolises
protection too). So you could draw a pentagram out on the ground
with salt (also a protection and purification symbol), and place a candle
at each of the 5 points of the star, and two in the centre. Or you
could place the candles in a circle, and sprinkle protection herbs around
each candle.
