What Is The Spiritual Significance of Friday the 13th before patriarchal times

1. Friday the 13th A New Beginning

Origin of Friday13th Superstitions: Before patriarchal times, Friday the 13th was considered the day of the Goddess.

Friday the 13th day of the goddess 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.

Friday the 13th was also considered a very powerful day to manifest, honor creativity, and celebrate beauty, wisdom, and nourishment of the soul.

2. Friday is Venus Day

And we all know that Venus is the epitome of feminine energy.

Her energy joins us at the end of the week to honor the days gone by and to remind us that it is important to rest, relax and play. As a society, we all look forward to Venus day, and we all naturally find ourselves unwinding and relaxing in her comforting energy.

Friday is the perfect day to embrace Venus-like energy and focus on creativity, beauty, and sensuality.

Venus energy also encourages us to tune into our receptive female energy in order to stimulate our –

• Creativity
• Bring art, music, and healing into the world.

3. 13 is the Number of Death and Rebirth

Number 13 also holds an extremely potent feminine energy and is considered to be the number of –

• Death and rebirth
• Creation
• Fertility
• Blood

This is because we have 13 Moon cycles every year and the average female also experiences 13 periods per year.

If a woman’s periods are in sync with the cycle of the Moon, she will shed her lining on the New Moon and ovulate on the Full Moon.

On average the 13th falls in the middle of the Moon cycle and represents that midway point between death and rebirth. The midway point between the New Moon, where a woman is shedding (the death), and the Full Moon, where the woman is ovulating (rebirth).

4. Friday The 13th Meaning for Women

Before patriarchal times, when a woman was bleeding she was considered to embody divine and magical powers. She was worshipped by all for her wisdom and ability to offer intuitive and psychic messages.

When she was ovulating, she was considered to be at the height of her power and was celebrated for her ability to receive, hold and create new life.

It was only when society became more patriarchal that women were made to feel shame when they were having their periods and to ignore their amazing potential to create and hold space for a new life.

This attitude has helped to contribute to the idea that Friday the 13th is an unlucky day.

Spiritual Significance of Friday the 13th after patriarchal times

1. Friday 13th Meaning – Feminine Power

The lunar calendar is also made up of 13 months, which further supports 13 as holding feminine power.

The Moon is also representative of feminine energy and helps us to understand and deal with our emotions and sensitivities.

In the astrology chart, the Moon not only governs our emotions but also our potential and how we choose to express ourselves through life. In fact, for many people understanding their Moon sign can often help to bring more awareness than their Sun sign.

2. Friday the 13th Holds Creativity Power

Bringing Friday and the number 13 together, you can see that Friday the 13th is in fact, a very powerful day for feminine energy and creativity.

It is also an extremely powerful time of death and rebirth as it represents that mid-point in the cycle between something new emerging and something old slipping away.

Friday 13th has often been held in high regard by women and the pagan community, and many rituals and spells are often conducted on this day in order to make the most of this beautiful energy.

This has also helped to contribute to the fear surrounding Friday the 13th, as it was an important day for many who worshipped the cycles of nature (often referred to as witchcraft).

We all have feminine energy in us, so Friday the 13th is not just for women. It is a day for all of us to honor or own abilities to create and receive energy from the world around us.

3. Friday the 13th is Not an Unlucky Day

Friday the 13th is the day of the Goddess and is a beautiful day for creating and celebrating life. It is a beautiful day for getting in tune with your emotions and sensitivities and giving thanks to the beautiful Goddess that lives in us all.
