Triana Iglesias Instagram – A mini summary of Friday 13th:
In pre-patriarchal times, a woman’s menstruation was seen as a time of wisdom and magical power, while ovulation was celebrated as her ability to create life. With the rise of patriarchy came shame and suppression. Women were taught to deny their incredible potential to create and hold space for new life. This shift contributed to Friday the 13th being labeled as an unlucky day.
Before this, Friday the 13th was a day to honor the Goddess, the divine feminine energy that resides within us all. It was a day to celebrate the cycles of life: creation, death, and rebirth. This sacred day was filled with power and used for manifestation, as well as celebrating beauty, wisdom, love, and nourishment for the soul.
Sara Jenks beautifully wrote:
“Centuries ago, there was a slow and torturous erasure of the Sacred Feminine. They brainwashed people into thinking that the most sacred day was the unluckiest day. They brainwashed people into thinking that witches are evil, even though the root of the word means ‘wise one’ and refers to those who are in tune with the Earth. They brainwashed us to believe that the female Christ, Mary Magdalene, was a whore, and Mother Mary was a pious virgin, instead of one of the most powerful priestesses that has ever lived. The list goes on and on.”
Friday, named after goddess Freya (or Frigg), is associated with Venus, a symbol of feminine energy. Venus is ruled by the planet of love, beauty, pleasure, harmony, creativity, and magnetism. Venus reminds us to find balance through rest, play, beauty, sensuality, and creativity, encouraging us to open ourselves to our receptive feminine power.
The number 13 is also deeply connected to the feminine. It mirrors the 13 lunar cycles in a year and the natural cycles of a woman. When aligned with the moon, a woman’s cycle flows with menstruation during the new moon (death) and ovulation during the full moon (rebirth). This cycle reflects the rhythm of life. The balance between endings and new beginnings.
Blessed Friday 13th. Honor the Divine Feminine energy that resides within each of us. 🌹
