Many people, perhaps without knowing why, consider Friday the 13th to be an unlucky day. From another perspective, Friday the 13th can be seen as an auspicious and sacred day that honors the divine feminine rising on Earth and within all of us.
I sense a powerful opportunity here and now to reclaim Friday the 13th as a time to honor the Divine Feminine, the Divine Mother God, to experience vibrant oneness, unity and love with the One Stream that is Divine Mother God Consciousness Shakti and Light.
Why Friday the 13th?
There is a very strong correlation between Friday the 13th and the divine feminine.
There are 13 menstrual cycles throughout the year, and on average, a woman experiences 13 periods per year.
The Moon itself represents feminine energy and is connected to and can influence the emotions and sensitivities of humanity.

In ancient times, bleeding women were thought to be deeply connected to the Goddess and to have direct access to the magical powers of intuition and the power of regeneration, and ovulating women were revered for their body's ability to produce new life.
If a woman's menstrual cycle is synchronized with the moon (which it more or less was in modern times and before the advent of artificial lighting), she bleeds during the new moon (representing death) and ovulates during the full moon (rebirth). The midpoint of this cycle? Day 13 (transition).
The number 13 has strong spiritual, yin and feminine energy. In patriarchal times, feminine energy was often feared and perceptions of women were distorted. In my opinion, this is the basis of the superstitions surrounding the number 13 and why Friday the 13th is often considered inauspicious, if not outright feared.
We are primarily taught to fear feminine power as destructive, dangerous and evil, not as divine, but these are just programs that can be updated or transformed.
Rather than seeing 13 as an unlucky number, I see it as carrying a powerful divine feminine energy. It is the number of the divine mother, woman, goddess, and of transition, death and rebirth, fertility, blood, power, and life.
Why is Friday the 13th so feared?
Upon investigation, no one knows or agrees on exactly why 13 is considered unlucky, but there are a few theories about its origins.
One theory is that the superstition surrounding the number 13 has to do with the fact that Jesus had 13 disciples at the Last Supper, the night before his death on Good Friday, with Mary Magdalene being the 13th apostle.
Another story is from Norse mythology, where 12 gods gathered for a banquet. The mischievous god Loki arrived as an uninvited guest and gathered 13 of them. Loki killed Balder (the son of Odin and Frigg), and the whole world was plunged into darkness, the earth was filled with mourning, and the day became unlucky and unlucky.
But what's really interesting is that there are also ancient records showing that 13 was actually considered a good, lucky number.
For example, the Egyptians considered 13 to be a lucky number and represented the 13 rungs of a ladder leading to the soul's spiritual perfection.
In astrology, 13 is associated with times of transition, death and rebirth. This may be one of the reasons why 13 is feared, as humans have a tendency to fear and resist change. However, death and rebirth are natural stages of life. A good example of this is when a child turns 13. It's the death of childhood, childhood ends, but it also means the teenage years begin.
In numerology, the number 13 represents upheaval – the destruction of the old and the beginning of a new cycle. Each season lasts for 13 weeks.
Why Friday?
Another layer of symbolism for this date, and insight into its spiritual meaning, can be found in the origin of the name Friday.
The name Friday is of Old English origin and literally means “Frigg's day.”
Frigg is the Norse goddess of love, fertility and motherhood. She is often identified with Freyja, the goddess of beauty, fertility, sex and war.
Friday is also associated with Venus.
Friday is a great day to relax and surrender to the flow of feminine creativity, beauty, and receptivity.
Friday the 13th and the Divine Feminine
It is said that in pre-patriarchal times, Friday the 13th was not feared, but rather revered and celebrated as a Goddess Day – a day to honor, celebrate and sanctify the divine feminine within each of us and to respect the cycle of life, death and rebirth that we all experience.
Friday the 13th holds wisdom if you allow it. It is a powerful day to plant the seed of intention in the womb of the Infinite Divine Mother. It is a powerful time to celebrate the power of the feminine and the wisdom, beauty and challenges that each of us faces on our journey as souls.
Do you treat Friday the 13th as a sacred day?

It is by no means an inauspicious day, but rather a Goddess day, connected with the Goddesses Venus, Mary Magdalene (the 13th disciple) and Freyja, a day to celebrate life and honour the divine feminine energy that is within and around us all.
