..."we've got the Eight of Cups. Now you'll notice that the strength card is an eight card. This Eight of Cups is an eight card.

Eight is my favorite number. It's been my favorite number since I was four. I didn't know why it was my favorite number when I was four.  All I know is that I thought about [this].when I was four. I [can] even remember where I was standing when I decided this. I was in the on the back patio of this house that I used to live in with my folks, one of the first houses that they had and and I was looking out towards the backyard. I was thinking "Oh well. I'm four. I need to have a favorite number. What is that? I guess it should be four, but I don't like four. So I think I'm going to make my favorite number eight."

I really like eight and eight has been my favorite number ever since. I know I've said this a few times but it's very important to me. Eight. And, as it turns out, eight is also considered to be (and in particularly in Chinese numerology) eight is the ultimate Good Fortune”…

"7 is generally considered the luckiest number. Not in all cultures or traditions, but it shows up the most often across the spectrum. That's why we have the phrase...lucky number 7, and why seven comes up often in the way we mark and count important life elements and aspects."

"Ellie, since you mentioned 8 being good fortune,  I couldn't help but be intrigued by my birth date, 8/13. So I have 13, traditionally considered an unlucky number, paired with 8. Lucky 8. I have, actually,  always thought of 13 as a wonderful number, although misunderstood.  Anyway, lovely and interesting reading here. Thanks Elliie. ❤"

"Hi Ellie!  My son was born on 8-8-88, even though his due date was closer to 7-8-88, I was induced on 8-4-88, and he finally had to be removed forcibly via C-section.  So definitely my favorite number! 

Also, I am so happy that I have your book.  It is really helping me along in my Tarot journey!"

Here's some information about Avril Haines
from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avril_Haines
'Avril Danica Haines (born August 27, 1969) is an American lawyer currently serving as the director of national intelligence in the Biden administration.[1] She is the first woman to serve in this role."...

This example alludes to comments such as this one in the comment section for a YouTube video short published by Jennifer Lisa Vest who is an African American/Indigenous psychic::
@fedgirl7318 Dec. 20, 2024
"The Director of National Intelligence, Avril Haines is supposed to release her report on election interference 45 days after the election, which falls on December 20th. ****

"#8 meanings: “because of its shape is associated with the two interlacing serpents of the caduceus signifying the pattern of movement of creative energy. .. eg, kundalini.. Nearly all symbols having the shape of the eight convey the idea of evolution, i.e., the transmission of the force of one cycle or form into the next higher expression -eight is the number of evolution and is connected with the spiral motion of cycles. It symbolizes regeneration and the entrance into a new state or condition of the soul - … the number eight is the perfect symbol of balance or cause-and-effect..” mostly from Edgar Cayce"

"@EllieDreamsDownUnder , I'm a new subscriber. I look forward to watching and reading comments in your past and future videos. I feel compelled to share that 8 is also my number. I'm an African American woman. (I'm mentioning my race because it factors into the story I'm telling.) I was told that I was born "around midnight" on December 16th. Although those numbers add up to a 7, it seems that I've always preferred the  number 8 to number 7. When I was in college, I was a member of an afro-centric organization which at one point in time had a ritual that included the leader's wife giving each individual member their own special number. I was given the number 8. Fast  forward to about two years later. At that time (55 years ago) I moved to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, a city that I had never been before and where I knew no one. Shortly after I moved there, feeling lonely, I went for a walk. When I was returning to the house where I was temporarily staying, I saw a group of children playing outside. As I walked past them,  one little girl called out to me  "Hello, soul sister #8". I stopped in my tracks and asked her why she had said that. She may have been shy because she ran into her house, but the other children talked to me. That meant a great deal to me then and now. I believe that experience presaged my involvement with children's play (such as collecting children's rhymes/cheers, founding/leading children's sessions in my area for the performances of rhymes and cheers among other projects) that has been part of my life's work and interests.

I also want to note that I've gravitated most strongly to a certain formation  of 8: "1+7" rather than to other formations of the number 8. The numbers in my original screen name reflect this, but when I got locked out of my account or for some other reason, and had to create another screen name and added another 1 at the end of number 17. In spite of the numbers in my screen name adding up to number 9, I still prefer #8.

Thanks again,  Elle. Ase

*"Ase" is a Yoruba language Nigerian word for that "represents the power that makes things happen and produces change. In African American culture "Ase" is very much like the saying "More Power to you". "
