Hey there Spirit friends! Yes, I know Friday the 13th happened a few weeks ago and I’ve been meaning to post about it so here we are in a rewind… Most associate it as being negative or bad luck kinda like those full moons of ours but in reality, it is NOT a bad day at all. 13 doesn’t have to be unlucky so I am here today to share the positives because that’s what it’s all about. First off, it is a time to honor the feminine within. You guys too…. Let’s stop doing and going and just BE for a bit. We need those times as well, all of us. We can honor the sacredness within and spend time reflecting, meditating, or in stillness. Let’s get into the particulars…

There are 13 Moon cycles and women ( on average) menstruate 13 times a year. This part isn’t for the guys here of course but let’s be supportive of our counterparts fellas! It is a time for emotions to be released but WILL affect us all in many ways. When I taught little kids, I could so tell when the full moon was coming. About a week before, they would start acting a little different and weird unlike their “norm.” The relatively good kids would be acting up or just exhibiting strange behavior. Us teachers knew that full moon was looming. I used to see it with our pets back in the day and still will. They exhibit something unlike typical behavior with laying down in a new spot and for our cat, she runs around all crazy! Sometimes it’s quite subtle but I can just tell. The energy and feeling around are very different. This last one literally wiped me out and I took a few naps on the weekend which I haven’t in a while. Guess I needed rest and when it’s coming, I need grounding more as well. In olden days, when time for a woman’s cycle, it was revered as she connected to her body and what it means to birth something new. Sometimes, that could even be in sync with the moon or even ovulation. Mine used to be all over the place but now I sorta match up. Maybe it’s part of my process? The Moon has the YIN energy of the feminine pulling us in to honor a slow down time of inner strength and tranquility but some just focus on that number of 13. Friday the 13th can also connect with full moons and our beliefs around both need a new positive expression instead of all that bad luck drama.

We are conditioned to believe all those ancient stories of the past with superstitions attached. We need to get deprogrammed people…. It’s not to be feared just because we were taught that it came from witches, bad spells, and black magic. Nope, not at all. It all goes back to the Bible and mythology with the stories of unlucky 13.  There is much in our history books we buy into and just accept without looking at all sides. Egyptians and astrologists considered 13 to be very lucky as did one of my Grandmas. There are 13 rungs on a ladder which leads to the soul or so those in Egypt believed. Look up the spiritual meanings on 1 and a 3 to see how it connects for you. I’m telling ya, it’s beautiful stuff! We all associate 13 with those teen years and some parents fear those. I get it, believe me on that BUT it’s also about entering a new phase or transition of a different beginning. Despite emotions, we need to see how it all gets played out and want to watch our kids grow. Numerology also classifies 13 with it being connected to the seasons. Each one last 13 weeks, how about that?

Friday comes from Old English and is associated with Venus who was the goddess of love, hence the correlation to women. It is a day of the Goddess so celebrate YOU as a woman but don’t worry guys, you get your days too. Pray or meditate to those Divine Feminine forces in your life whether they be Mother Mary, ancient goddesses, or even your own deceased women in the spirit world. Let’s all not just expect gloom and doom with a Friday the 13th or even when those full moons come around. If you expect the worst, you’ll get it. Sure, your emotional state may be slightly off as the Moon is also affected by the ocean tides whether one believes that or not. We just need to find practices that will work for us and keep at it. Be prepared and maybe next time, you won’t get too fearful. More on fear next week…

Well, friends those are just a few stories of how we look at Friday the 13th and how we should look at it from NOW on. You can still believe in the negative but if you try to focus on the good, you’ll receive so much more.  I hope you’ll honor that divine feminine part of you during those times and it doesn’t mean what you think it means. Go within, trust your intuitive self and just stop doing so much during those times. If you are a spiritual person, you’ll know what I mean here. It may hit you hard depending on what’s going on with your life or maybe you’ll just get a sense that something is a little “off.” Either way, spend some time doing something less active and being quiet for a little while. It will help to balance those energies. Try some techniques on your own and if stuck, reach out for ideas!

I hope this has served or at least educated you in a different way about those old outdated ways of looking at Friday the 13th friends. Do what works for you and respect that time. It can work in your favor if you allow the goodness to reach you instead of what you were taught. I wish you well on this journey and keep going to discover your inner gifts to give to the world.

~~~ Next week, I will be exploring FEAR in a new way with how it can be our friend. What? Yep, you read that right…. Until then, stay tuned and stay true Spirit Friends! *** It may be a day late because of the Labor day Holiday here in the U.S. so wait and see!!! ***
