Tomorrow is Friday the 13th, a day that has long been associated with bad luck. However, what many people may not realize is that this day is deeply intertwined with the goddess Freya.
In actuality, Friday represents "Frey-day" or Frigg-day, a day dedicated to the celebration of Freya and her male counterpart, Frey. This tradition is also echoed in other days of the week, such as Odin's day (Wednesday, or "Onsdag" in Swedish) and Thor's day (Thursday, or "Torsdag" in Swedish).
Freya, a prominent figure in Norse mythology, is the goddess of fertility, love, abundance, and prosperity. She is a symbol of feminine strength and power, and her influence extends to the cycles of life, including birth and death.
The number 13, often viewed with superstition, carries profound symbolism. In numerology, it embodies the energy of rebirth, transformation, and upheaval. It signifies the completion of one cycle and the beginning of another. Just as there are 12 to 13 full moons in a year, women may experience approximately 12 to 13 menstrual cycles annually, highlighting the connection between the lunar and feminine cycles.
So, while Friday the 13th may be linked to superstitions about bad luck, it also offers a unique opportunity to celebrate the powerful and nurturing energy of the goddess Freya, as well as the cycles of transformation and renewal symbolized by the number 13. It's a day that invites us to explore the deeper meanings and connections that often lie hidden beneath the surface of superstitions and fears.
I invite you to turn this day into a worship of the feminine, and if you are a woman, maybe you can dress more feminine, wear red or gold clothes as these are symboles for Freya. Let your hair out and take some time for self care and worship your feminine acpects.
