✳ tarot correspondence: 1. the magician
The number 66 in the Neapolitan grimace is represented by the spinsters. The spinster is a single woman of advanced age; mostly with an idea of withered femininity and a bitchy mood. This term was used in the past, but today the much more politically correct term single is used.
In the past, not finding a husband and therefore becoming a spinster was a real calamity. For some, not getting married was due to particular causes such as raising a brother or looking after a sick parent, while for others it was their own will or the fact of not finding the right man.
In current usage the term spinster refers only, and mostly in a joking or derogatory tone, to unmarried women a little advanced in years.
Let's see what it means to dream 'e ddoie zetelle. Dreaming of a spinster can have multiple meanings and consequently gives rise to different interpretations.
Dreaming of being a spinster represents one of the greatest fears for women, in fact, the atavistic sense of shame arising from the social conventions of the past remains and, if she is not accompanied by a man in real life, it is very probable that seeing herself in the shoes of a spinster fears a life of emotional solitude.
If the dreamer sees herself as a spinster but on the altar, then this negative vision will soon be denied and the course of daily existence will undergo a sudden, usually positive turn.
As we know, the spinsters in the Neapolitan grimace are represented by the number 66, but if, in a dream, they appear naked, the corresponding number will be 7.
Old maids and old age make 50, in church 1 and if they are knitting we have 10.
In the tarot
In cartomancy we don't find any card that can be associated with the figure of a spinster. The number 66 is associated with the figure of a spinster.
She is a woman who according to popular tradition is advanced in years but has no husband.
Rude attitudes are often associated with this woman. To be more precise, the double number 66 does not indicate one, but 2 spinsters.
At this point it is legitimate to ask where this association was born and how it was fueled.
In general 6 is considered the number of woman, of femininity and also of female sexual pleasure.
However, the association of 2 digits 6 distorts this meaning and indicates two women who, having not found a husband, appear bitter and grumpy, even from a sexual point of view.
The acidity of these women would be connected to the fact that, having never been loved, these women are vicious, also because they have not been able to experience the joy of motherhood.
In a broad sense, 66 can be used to indicate two women intent on talking or gossiping.
At this point we understand in which cases it is possible to bet on the number 66.
It is certainly the right number to rely on if a couple of spinsters appears in our dreams, but it is also the number to rely on if you dream that someone judges our behavior or our relationship in an acid and bad way.
Other interpretations of the number 66
The grimace is not the only one that can help us read and interpret the number 66.
According to a symbolic approach, for example, the number 66 indicates an important diminution of the divine plan, closely connected to the fact that man often tends to rely exclusively on intelligence and reason, neglecting or betraying the religious or spiritual inclinations that could somehow give different nuances to one's life, thoughts and actions.
Then there are a series of situations that refer to this issue in a more or less intentional way.
On Easter Island, for example, there are 600 giant stone states, which measure 66 feet each (66 feet correspond to about 20 meters). Sixty-six were also the years that Hezekiah had when she, in the company of Ptolemy, had left Egypt.
On the purely numerological front, however, it may be interesting to note how by adding the numbers from 1 to 66, the number 2,211 is obtained, a divine number which, according to some esoteric texts, would represent the image of God in the temple.
There are also 66 geostationary satellite orbits that allow you to identify any point on the surface of our planet.
66 can also be an angelic number. It frequently occurs in situations of tiredness, whether physical or mental.
Through this number, our angel wants to invite us to recover our strength by leaving aside unnecessary worries and dedicating more time to spirituality.
In this way, in fact, you have the opportunity to get back in touch with your essence and to better perceive the message that our angel wants to leave us.
