Lucky Sevens

The number seven has long been considered special across many cultures and spiritual traditions.

• In the Christian Bible, the seventh day is the day of rest after creation, and the number seven often carries a sense of completion or wholeness.

• In Islam, pilgrims walk around the Kaaba seven times during the pilgrimage to Mecca.

• In Judaism and Islam, the idea of seven heavens appears in sacred tradition.

• In Hindu cosmology, some traditions describe seven higher worlds and seven lower worlds.

• In Buddhist tradition, the newborn Buddha is said to have taken seven steps.

Seven also appears again and again in everyday life:

• Seven days in a week

• Seven notes in a Western musical scale

• Seven colors often named in a rainbow

• Seven seas

• Seven wonders of the world

Over time, the number seven has come to symbolize luck, completeness, mystery, and meaning.

Seven also feels right at home in Taos. At nearly 7,000 feet above sea level, even the landscape seems to nod toward the Lucky 7.

For Taos Rocks, the number seven is more than a lucky number. It is a little tribute to Roger Absten, to whom Taos Rocks is dedicated — a person who lived life with community in his heart every day.

When you find a Lucky 7 Taos rock, you’re finding a piece of Roger’s story, and you’re invited to carry a little luck, joy, and wonder forward.
