Why seven? Beats me--but seven comes up an awful lot in both metaphysics and folklore. But I think those seven cover all the bases. And polytheism fits in too, when you look at say, old Greek myths--many of their gods reflect a single one of the seven faces.

The marionette thing--that would be level one--read the Book of Job for a perfect example.
