About this number
Two and four come to 6, the number Cheasley tied to home, friendship and hospitality. The compound points the other way in Sepharial's 1911 list, which reads traveling, exile and inconstancy for the sum of a name. Put side by side, the digit stays at home and the full figure wanders off, a contradiction nobody in these books tries to resolve.
Westcott has two very different notes. As arithmetic, 24 is superabundant, because its parts add to more than the whole. As lore, he calls it an evil number referring to Cain. Clement lists the day with the 6th and 15th among the Sixes and gives it A minor.
