Before patriarchal times, Friday the 13th was considered the day of the Goddess. 🌀 It was considered a day to worship the Divine Feminine that lives in us all and to honour the cycles of creation, death and rebirth, connecting something new emerging and something old slipping away. 🌹
In pagan times, Fridays were a day of celebration and 13 was a sacred number as it corresponded to the 13 yearly moon and menstrual cycles that occur each year. It was considered the day of Venus and Freya, the goddesses of sensuality and love and it was a day to embrace all that is sensual, sexual, and creative within us. The number itself holds the meaning of death and rebirth, creation, fertility and blood - all of which represent elements of the feminine. 🩸
A woman was considered to embody divine and magical powers when she was menstruating, and was regarded by all for her wisdom and ability to offer intuitive and psychic messages... It was only when society became more patriarchal that women were made to feel ashamed when they were having their bleeds and to ignore their amazing potential to create and hold space for new life. ❤️
In 1487 free thinking and Divine Feminine Energy was suppressed and labeled witchcraft by Heinrich Kramer who went forth to burn many healers on the stake due to forced ignorance and a hatred for powerful female leaders. This attitude has helped to contribute to the idea that Friday the 13th is an unlucky day. 🧙🏼♀️
Friday the 13th is actually a spiritual day of enlightenment divine feminine energy and healing that should be sacred instead of hated!
