The 13: the quintessential unlucky number
This time I am going to talk about four numbers with a negative meaning.
The number thirteen
Expanding on what Loreto already said, thirteen is considered a unlucky number in our culture (although the truth is that I like it and I know other people who do too) because there were thirteen who were at the Last Supper, including Judas, the traitor. That is why it is a number rejected by Christianity just like eleven. There are also thirteen witches in a coven and chapter thirteen of the Apocalypse announces the arrival of the antichrist.
Although not negative for all cultures: in the Maya, thirteen is the base unit that governs the sacred calendar of 260 units and for Native Americans it is the Goddess, Mother of all creation.
Something very curious, the tattoo with the number 13 was used by the Mexican mafias of the north to identify themselves, and the 14 in the mafias of the south.
The number 88, 14 and 18
1488
Surely it will have surprised some that he includes these numbers among the cursed ones. What a lot of people don't know is that 88 symbolizes Heil Hitler (the salute to Hitler) since H is the eighth letter of the alphabet (88 = HH). The number 18 corresponds to Hitler's initials (18 = Adolf Hitler)
El number 14 it is a Nazi symbol because there were fourteen words uttered by David Lane, a white supremacist leader: "We must ensure the existence of our people and a future for white children." Member of the Ku Klux Klan founded "The Order", a group whose purpose was to free the Aryan race from Jewish power and for which they did not hesitate to commit numerous crimes.

Convicted of murder and robbery, he died in prison from which he wrote articles and books in which he defended the white supremacy, the need to eliminate those who were not, as well as their hatred towards white people who did not think alike and which were published in various media as well as in an editorial called 14 Palabras.
El 14 and the 88 They also appear together on numerous occasions, so if you see it tattooed you already know what it means and who you are in front of.
