Friday the 13th

They say Friday the 13th is the luckiest day for Pagans and Witches! Pretty creepy because as far as i know, for this year 2009, we barely had 3 friday the 13th’s and I suppose this one is the last (Nov 13, 2009 – Friday).

But anyways, did you know that Friday is named after the Goddess Frigga, who blesses marriage and fertility. The number 13 has many associations with luck and good fortune in pre-Christian or non-Christian cultures. From the Chinese
to the Egyptians, and stretching as far back in time to the 27,000
year old prehistoric carving of the Venus of Laussel, the number 13
has been important.

I would like to share to you this Quote, related to the topic of this post:

“Lucky people generate their own good fortune via four basic
principles. They are skilled at creating and noticing chance
opportunities, make lucky decisions by listening to their intuition,
create self-fulfilling prophesies via positive expectation, and adopt
a resilient attitude that transform bad luck into good.” – Richard
Wiseman

Also today, I came accross over reading a article Yahoo! News and wanted it to share with you, title of the article is Friday the 13th phobia? You have plenty of company.

I also found this information’s and might interest you. hehe.

Celebrate Friday the 13th by:

Petting a black cat! Cats are sacred to Frigga, after whom Friday is named.
Getting a “bakers’ dozen” (13) donuts or bagels in honor of the sacred round “holed stones”, the psychic gateways of the British Isles. Share with your co-workers or friends!
Kiss your spouse 13 times to gain the blessings of Frigga, goddess of marriage.

describing the unique God, has the numerological value of 13 according to the Gematria system, The ancient Maya used the number 13 in the development of their
calendrical science which served as the basis of their cosmology as
well. The 13:20 ratio expresses the frequencies and cycles of
Creation, now scientifically verifiable through the latest discoveries about the classical period Mayan Calendar.
