Mine too. I'm a pantheist. I feel that the infinity sign...8 on its side is a pretty good symbol of the Divine. I think that 8 just the way it is, is a pretty good symbol of the Divine.

What path do you follow?

Interesting link. Note that the number 8 on it's side is the symbol of infinite. It is above The Magician's head in tarot. Another site that I think you might find of interest (or maybe not) http://jesus8880.com/

The number 8 is represented by the colors pink and rose. 8's gemstones are rose quartz and pearl. Flowers associated with the number are pink roses and pink carnations.

In the teachings of Discordianism one learns of the Law of Eights, which says basically that everything is either a multiple of eight, can be divided by eight or is somehow related to the number eight, up to the ingenuity of the individual investigating.

The Law of Eights is NEVER wrong.

Djehuty. Because in His creation myth, He has His Ogdoad, four pairs of deities, male and female, snake and frog headed, that represented the creative forces. So yeah, eight and Djehuty.

^ That explains it better than I can. Djehuty just wanted me to mention Him.
