Originally I was going to make a simple list of 13 ways to celebrate Friday The 13th, but one I started rolling, I realized there was a lot more I wanted to share, if only some interesting facts about the history, culture, and contrast with other cultures around this Uncustomary Day! So strap in and enjoy these 50 ways to celebrate Friday The 13th. That said, I love Friday The 13th! A lot of people, Pagans specifically, have been taking Friday the 13th back and instead of viewing it as bad, looking at it as an opportunity for good luck, fortune, and prosperity! Even 12 months in a year or the 12 astrological signs! Before the general patriarchal society we know, the number 13 was actually a number that celebrated women and goddesses (specifically Shiva)! But think about it, as we shift, when 12 seems to be the end or “whole” completion of something, wouldn’t 13 be the odd (wo)man out? The thirteenth wheel so to speak? It’s scary because it’s unknown! Couple that with Friday, a day we’ve been told is when bad shit goes down (see numbers 33-38 for more information on this), and it becomes a preconceived notion that it’s a scary, unlucky day perfect storm combo! 12 inches in a foot or 12 eggs in a dozen. Truthfully, we have a lot of 12’s in our world (especially the USA culture).
It’s mostly a Western/USA tradition that emerged maybe more recently than you might expect! Happy Friday The 13th! There is a lot of interesting history behind the history of this unusual holiday and observance.
