13 is the number to the portal of the dead [ghosts] and sets them free and 7 is lucky because in the christian religion it showed the surrvival of the devil [6] and since 7 is after 6 [devil #] it is considered lucky

No, it’s not unlucky. Had you been a slave owner/trader it would have been a terrible thing. The number 13 is considered unlucky b/c the 13th amendment abolished slavery and a way of life for many people who profited from the ownership of slaves. In many other cultures the number 13 is actually a lucky number. It’s just been drilled into us that it’s unlucky and passed down from generation to generation.
I’m not 100% sure about the number 7 other than the fact that it’s in the Bible..Revelations makes a lot of references to the number 7 repeatedly. Also, the book of Genesis, references the number 7. That’s how many days it took GOD to create the world and everything in it.

There are many explanations. One explanation is that the number 13 brings bad luck because there were 13 people present at “The Last Supper” in the Bible. Another story comes from Norse mythology. One of the nastiest Norse gods, “Loki”, crashed a party at “Valhalla.” Valhalla was the “banquet hall of the gods.” There were 12 guests present at the hall until Loki arrived. With the mean-spirited Norse god as the 13th guest, the affair turned grim. The story goes that “Balder”, “the god of light, joy, and reconciliation”, died when Loki tricked Balder’s
sightless brother Hod into throwing mistletoe at him. Just like Kryptonite to Superman, Mistletoe, you see, was the only thing on earth that could kill Balder.
The famous mystery writer Agatha Christie (1890-1976) actually capitalized on the superstition that surrounds the number 13 when she penned 13 short stories and put them in a book titled, “The Thirteen Problems” in 1933. Each story featured her busybody sleuth, “Miss Jane Marple.” Christie did it again when she wrote the mystery, “Thirteen at Dinner”, which starred Peter Ustinov and Faye Dunaway. It hit the movie screen in 1985.
Whether 13 is actually an unlucky number or not will forever remain a mystery. There are many truths about the number 13, though. For example, it is a prime number. That means that it is only divisible -without there being a remainder- by the number 1 and itself. It is also a “Fibonacci Number.” A Fibonaci Number can be defined as “a number that is the sum of the two preceding numbers.” If you begin with 0 and 1, the sequence would run 0,1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34,45,79, and so on.

Why is seven lucky? We are not entirely certain - but we did find many special sevens : from the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World … to seven days of the week.
Seven more sevens:
� Pythagoreans called it the perfect number, 3 and 4, the triangle and the square, the perfect figures.
� Seven ancient planets - the sun was the greatest planet of the ancient seven and next to the sun, the moon, changing in all its splendour every seventh day. Seven visible planets and luminaries (Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn).
� Books …The Seven Pillars of Wisdom by T E Lawrence, Enid Blyton’s Secret Seven series … Stephen Covey’s Seven Habits of Highly Effective People … Reiki and the Seven Chakras …
� Seven Deadly Sins.
� The Trumpton fire brigade. (Pugh, Pugh, Barney, Magrew, Cuthburt, Dibble and Grub)
� Seven Seas
� In Chinese culture, the seventh day of the first moon of the lunar year is known as Human’s Day to be celebrated as the universal birthday of all human beings.
