The number nine represents generosity, love, and magic. Partners are like two halves of an orange; they frequently comprehend each other without words and appear to be reading their thoughts aloud. In such a connection, loved ones share shared goals and strive for spiritual growth together. The number nine is associated with success, happiness, and peace. In mythology, Zeus created man out of earth, blood, and bone as a punishment for men who had fallen asleep during his wars. The gods sent them all to sleep for a hundred years, but when they woke up, men were still sleeping, so they killed another sleeper, Dreamless Sleep, to wake people up. This is how blood became liquid gold and bone becomes ivory. In religion, God is often described as a "9th-level deity" because he/she/it is considered perfect in every way and has no equal. Judaism's Shekhina (feminine singular form of the word "God") is thought to exist within everything that exists and to have a hand in creating most things, but it is usually depicted as a dollop of perfumed oil or a puff of smoke because humans cannot see or feel it directly. Society views someone as important or powerful as a "kingmaker" or "queen maker". Because of this, many games and social rituals involve some sort of royal marriage where one person is chosen to marry the king or queen.
