How many of you cringed when you noticed that today is Friday the 13th? I’ll be honest, I always get excited when Friday the 13th comes. When I started working on Daily Magick today I got so excited when I realized today was Friday the 13th. Friday the 13th always is a lucky day for me and I almost always have something amazing happen. Let me tell you why and how you can make it the same for you.
Many of you are familiar with the horror movie Friday the 13th. I must confess, I’ve not watched that one, and don’t foresee it anytime soon in my future. For those of you who may not be familiar with the movie, it’s a horror film that came out in America around 1980. I do like scary movies, those that have to do with spirits, paranormal activity etc, but I tend to shy away from gory ones.
I found an absolutely fantastic article called Why Friday the 13th is Unlucky. They did an amazing job going through the history and superstitions of this date and why the number 13 and Friday are considered unlucky. Rather than reinvent the wheel, I’ll give you a moment to go check it out.
Ready? If you weren’t nervous about this date before maybe you are now? I’m just playing.
Let’s break this down a bit using Numerology. Does anyone know what the 13th card of tarot is?
The Death Card. Perfect. While seen as an ominous card by many, this card is really representative of change. So while in the beginning, when I was just learning to read tarot, I use to cringe when it came up, I now have developed a relationship with this card knowing that it’s going to bring about some much-needed change for whomever I am reading for. In numerology, the number 13 stands for change and transformation. Most people are afraid of change. However, often, change can bring about good things as well. In order to move forward, we must have change right?
So along with all the hype, negative associations and such about Friday the 13th, I have one basic theory. If you believe this day is unlucky it will be.
It makes sense right? How many of you know about the Law of Attraction? The energy you put out there is the energy that you are going to attract. If you believe you are going to have the most unlucky day tomorrow I’ll give you one guess what’s going to happen. Have you ever started out a day rough and then said that the rest of your day would be awful and it was? Next time you’re having a rough day, take a deep breath and reset your day. Tell yourself that was the challenge for the day and now that you’ve successfully completed it the rest of the day will be easy. It’s kinda crazy how well this works.
So let’s try it out. Today I want you to tell yourself that Friday the 13th is a lucky day for you. This is something I’ve been doing for years, I honestly think I started it in middle school to be different. Power of intention. You have the power to make this a lucky day for yourself. Try it out You may never see Friday the 13th the same again.
Much Love and Many Blessings,
