Today, Friday, September 13 is considered as one of the most unlucky days on earth. The day is so superstitious that many believers around the world would not take on their daily chores like flying and even traveling by on-road or air.
Surprisingly, these beliefs are widely worshipped by the western countries, a very ironical idea keeping in mind that they have always accused Africans to be so superstitious.
Horror movies have been named after this day and research also tells us that there is an increase of accidents on Friday the 13th. But, where did all of this come from? 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. The day was also considered a very powerful time to manifest, honor creativity and to celebrate beauty, wisdom and nourishment of the soul.
