If you are the seventh son of a seventh son you will be a vampire in some folklore. There are the seven seas.
It is important in astronomy as there are severn heavenly bodies visable to the naked eye (Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn and the Sun).
It is also the largest number of sticks (or other cylindrical objects) that can be tied into a bundle such that the shape of the bundle remains fixed. This may have led to the number being viewed with mystical significance by ancient man.
Also there are seven deadly sins and it is the number of heads that the beast of revelations has.
