 At the Edge: The Nine Sisters and the Axis Mundi
Now, while it is ultimately a representation of the entire cosmos, the world-mill has a specific affinity with the axis mundi, the notional centre of the earth, which is analogous to the celestial axis, the point about which the sky rotates.
The idea that nine is the cosmic tripartition multiplied by itself is attractive, as it stresses the notion of the cosmos as a self-contained and complete structure, accomplished by the interaction of the social and physical totalities.
It must also be recognised that early cosmologists almost certainly tended to limit themselves to those phenomena that could be observed, or those that could be inferred from existing and accepted patterns; and that magical or significant numbers were primordially derived from the observation of nature rather than from ponderous mathematical abstractions.
