Ah magic….don’t you think there should be more of it in our lives?

There is a history of interest in numerology and magic in the Arab world. The number 5 has always had special significance and powers because it is linked to the hand of Fatima and the 5 fingers. The numbers 3, 7, 9 and their multiples are also believed to have magical properties. (The magic square – a set of numbers placed so that the sum is the same, no matter if numbers are added horizontally, vertically or diagonally – is sometimes used to heal the sick or protect wearers from the evil eye. I often see silver rings with magic squares in the Marrakech souks.)

So I was thinking….that there should be magic room numbers at Peacock Pavilions. In addition to our own pavilion, there will be 2 guest pavilions with a total of 5 guestrooms. I thought it might be charming (and magical!) to dispense with room numbers 1, 2 and 4 altogether…….and only have rooms 3, 5, 7, 9, and 35. Or rooms 5, 7, 15, 21, and 27… It seems to me that on a magical holiday, magical room numbers are only appropriate.

Hmm…What do you think?

(oh, eeek, I better cut this out before you become convinced that I am going to greet you at the gate of Peacock Pavilions wearing a star covered cape, a tall pointy hat, and waving a sequin-covered wand…)
