Is four an important number to Earth cults? I thought it was six, like the
sides of a cube....

Four weeks is of course (more or less) the menstruational cycle. (At least I
suppose it is a four week cycle in Glorantha.)
In RW it is often connected to the month/moon, which it can hardlly be in
Glorantha, with it's eight week seasons and seven day moon cycle. Is there
anything it else it could be connected to?
I would think that some sort of four week cycle is important in Esrolia, and
perhaps for Earth cults in other places.
