13 – th1rt33n. This number means different things to different people. To some it brings bad luck, to others it as a number of good fortune. The thirteenth card in some Tarot decks is the Death. The number 13 is also thought to represent rebellion, in particular against God (who is symbolically represented by the number 31). In medieval England the standard fee of the hangman was 13 pence - a shilling and a penny. In the occult science of numerology it is said that, “He who understands the number 13 will be given power and dominion. It is a number of upheaval and destruction; a symbol of power which, if wrongly used, will wreak havoc and destruction upon itself.” It is an honoured number in many countries throughout the world. There are 13 occurrences of the quantity 13 in the design of the Great Pyramid of Gizeh in Egypt, the largest stone edifice ever built. In the Indian Pantheon there are 13 Buddhas. The mystical discs that surmount Indian and Chinese pagodas are 13 in number. Enshrined in the Temple of Atsuta in Japan is a sacred sword with 13 objects of mystery forming its hilt. And 13 was the sacred number of the ancient Mexicans – they had 13 snake gods. Of course, many are aware of the number of people attending the original Nazarene Last Supper….
And for those of you who are American? Starting with the 13 colonies, the first national flag had 13 stars, and even today it still has 13 stripes. On the green side of the dollar bill there are 13 steps in the pyramid of the Great Seal. The motto above the pyramid, which reads “Annuit Coeptis,” has 13 letters; the eagle on the right side has a ribbon in its beak that bears the motto “E pluribus unum,” which contains 13 letters. The eagle has 13 tail feathers, and on its breast there is a shield of 13 stripes. In one talon the eagle holds 13 arrows, and in the other an olive branch with 13 leaves and 13 berries. Over the eagle’s head are 13 stars that form the six-pointed “Star of David.”
However, th1rt33n is also a musical project headed by Jon Zero. The name was chosen because it looks and sounds good, the varying meanings of the number 13 just adds extra interest. I hope the music will cover many territories and will involve a broad spectrum of people. th1rt33n is an open book…and we shall fill it.
