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 honor the
cycles of creation and death and rebirth. Before
Friday the 13th became associated with bad
luck and the horror movie franchise that refuses
to die, it used to be considered a powerful day
for celebrating feminine energy.

Both Friday and the number 13 have been

twisted to carry negative connotations, FOLLOW HHR ON TWITTER
according to Gina Spriggs, a North Carolina-based futurist and holistic intuitive she blames

patriarchal religions for this. One myth typically associated with the number 13, she explains,
indicates someone dies within a year after eating at a table with 12 other people. This stems
from the Last Supperyou know, the painting of Jesus eating with the 12 Apostles. Well, the
painting got its name because Jesus Christ died shortly after.
