Today is Friday the 13th…but have no fear! The negative associations with this day are purely patriarchal constructs. In pre-patriarchal times, both Friday and the number 13 had associations with the Divine Feminine. There are 13 lunar cycles in a year, and the moon is associated with both feminine energy and psychic abilities. I can tell you that a lot more people recall their dreams around the full moon, as well. The word Friday is derived from ‘dies Veneris’ in Latin, which means ‘Day of Venus’. Venus is the Goddess of love, beauty, and all things Divine Feminine. So let’s turn this date around and celebrate the Divine Feminine within! No matter your gender, we all have all the energies within us, so celebrate the love and beauty within yourself as well as in others.
