"When you believe in things that you don't
understand, then you suffer - superstition ain't the way!" Today being
Friday the 13th, a day considered unlucky by many all around the
world is in fact a superstition & an obvious psychological notion. There
are many who would disagree & consider it a lucky day.
It's very interesting that the only day of the week
named in honor of a female or woman (Goddess) is Friday, named in honor of the
pagan goddess Freya or Frigg. Both the day and the number were associated with
the Great Goddesses, and therefore, regarded as the sacred essence of luck and
good fortune. Thirteen is certainly the most essentially female number. When
Chinese women make offerings of moon cakes, there are sure to be 13 on the
platter. Thirteen is the number of blood, fertility and lunar potency. 13 is
the lucky number of the Great Goddess.
In many indigenous traditions, the
number 13 is considered to have auspicious meaning and to bring blessings and
happiness. To these cultures the number 13 has spiritual significance and often
holds prominence in ritual art, ceremonial songs, time and placement.
Jews around the world still begin the observance of
the Sabbath at sunset on Friday evenings when they invite in the Sabbath Bride.
Friday is the Sabbath in the Islamic world. Friday the 13th is ultimately the
celebration of the lives and loves of Lady Luck.
In
closing, if you believe that Friday the 13th is an unlucky day, chances are you
will attract unto yourself negative experiences and on the other hand, if you
believe that Friday the 13th is a lucky day, perhaps you will attract unto
yourself positive experiences. We get back what we send out in thought and
feeling.
