Chaos magick's chaosphere has eight points. I have no idea what the eight points correspond to: Liber Kaos goes into the eight colors of color magick as well, so I guess there's some overlap. 8 in the Rider-Waite tarot is Strength, which Arthur Ed Waite reversed with 11, Justice.
8 has associations with non-universalism, being one short of 9, which is the complete number, the number of man (see Secret Teachings of All Ages by Manly P. Hall). 11 is both one bigger than 10, which is Kabbalistically "Kingdom", and also generically associated with angels.
The reversal of 8 and 11, strength and justice, universalism and non-universalism has thus always bothered me. In my second game concept I had Peter the chaos magick dragon, but also there were 8 main dragon philosophers. I have no idea what I'm talking about, I'm babbling, sorry
