In Gematria the Hebrew word 'v'ahavta' (love) has a value of 13, as does the word 'echad' (one). Both words represent key concepts in Jewish thought. The Zohar, an important Kabbalistic work, speaks of the 13 Qualities of Compassion and the 13 petalled rose. Maimonides defined 13 Principles of faith. There are 13 months in the lunar year and the Hebrew calendar is a lunar one. My Hebrew name has a gematria of 13. I was 13 when I began reading Tarot.
I was aware of some of these associations prior to the dream but not all. I hope to blog more about Gematria going forward.
