This months astrology packs a punch & over this next few days we have Pluto retrograde ending, Mars moving in to Scorpio, a new moon eclipse in libra & Friday 13th ✨🌙
It’s sure to stir up some emotions in everyone so we thought we would share some history on Friday 13th from the Pagan belief & guidance on what you can do this coming new moon in Libra 🙌🏼
Liking or honouring the 13th isn’t restricted to modern day pagans, it’s been in our history for quite sometime. In many pre-Christian cultures Friday is linked to a day of worship. In many pagan societies it’s the day to receive blessings from the gods. Many pagan cultures chose this 6th day of the week (Friday) to celebrate and honour their gods/ goddesses for the gifts they had received in the days prior and to petition their chosen deity for favour in the days of the coming week.
Egyptians believe life was a quest for spiritual ascension. This journey walks through 13 levels. The first 12 in this life and after transition, the thirteenth in the eternal afterlife. The number 13 in this case symbolizes death as a glorious and desirable transformation.
In China the number 13 is associated with good fortune and not bad luck. It holds the same distinction in Italy, and it’s Friday the 17th that’s considered to be the bad luck day there.
While the mainstream Western World runs in fear from Friday the 13th, many pagans should shed those made up connotations and revel in the day as one to be celebrated with joy and excitement. It’s a time to let go of the old that maybe holding you back and welcome in the new. It’s a day to honour the Divine (whatever that is to you) and connect with spirit for progress, and positive transformation. It’s a good day to create new ritual tools, such as carving a new wand, fashioning a new broom or even simply cleaning off your altar and re-organizing your supply closet.
