Why is Friday the 13th considered unlucky? Relive the tradition on this myth-busting day

Everyone knows that Friday the 13th is considered unlucky. But when and how did it enter the collective consciousness? Occasionally, the 13th of the month falls on a Friday and you find yourself experiencing Friday the 13th. For skeptics and deniers, this may be laughable, but for believers, walking on eggshells is how they live all day. But what does Friday the 13th really represent? How does everyone sarcastically or literally call it an “unfortunate” overlap? Let’s learn about some ancient legends. For now, the exact origins of Friday the 13th cannot be 100 percent certain. But it seems that this legend has crossed many oceans and eras and still shines today. The unlucky nature of the number 13 was first understood by Charles Panati in his book Extraordinary Origins of Everyday Things. Legend has it that Loki, the god of mischief, broke into Asgard’s majestic Valhalla during a banquet. This caused the number of participants to number 13. Kill him. This domino effect spread to Europe, and the energy of the number 13 was reflected in one of the most difficult passages in the Bible. The crucial Last Supper was held on Thursday (now called Maundy, in reference to the Last Supper). The 13th guest who arrived was none other than Judas Iscariot, the disciple who ultimately betrayed Jesus. The next day, on Friday, Jesus was crucified. 13 may be a little “unlucky,” but what about Friday? In mythological terms, Friday does not rank high among the “lucky” days of the week. A report from CNN (CNN) presents a series of shockingly inappropriate events, all of which occurred on Fridays. Whether it was Adam and Eve eating the forbidden fruit, Cain murdering his brother Abel, or even the destruction of Solomon’s temple – it all happened on a Friday. The myth soon entered literary heritage, further cementing Friday the 13th’s dubious reputation. The first known book to breathe fictional life into the subject was Thomas William Lawson’s Friday the 13th. First published in 1907, the book traces the cunning dealings of a New York City stockbroker who exploited the anxieties surrounding the date to his own advantage. When it comes to the films, it’s not just about focusing on the 12-film Friday the 13th series. The first film was released in 1980, but the paranoia and excitement of this horror film left a lasting legacy that lives on today. It’s a matter of perception If there’s one thing the parallel narratives in retellings of myths around the world have shown, it’s that there are always two (or more) sides to a coin. For example, in pagan cultures, Friday is associated with the nurturing of feminine energy. In fact, many believe that the fifth working day coined as “Friday” actually refers to the goddess Frigga, whose sphere was love, marriage, and motherhood. Similar revered associations can be traced to the goddess Freya, whose spheres were love, fertility, and war. From a mythological perspective,This reverence is what gives Friday a more optimistic tone. Not only that, the power of the number 13 is reflected in thematic art as well. Take for example the “Venus of Laussel” displayed at the Aquitaine Museum in Bordeaux, France. The 18.11-inch-long limestone figure of a nude woman is still considered a powerful symbol of fertility. In the video, the woman can be seen holding her pregnant belly while holding a corner on which 13 lines are inscribed. Looking at more modern times, is there a greater 13 mascot than Taylor Swift? In fact, the pop icon even addressed this very issue in an interview with Jay Leno in 2009. She said, “I was born on the 13th. I turned 13 on Friday the 13th. My first album went gold in 13 weeks. My first number one song had a 13-second intro. Good thing. Though many may laugh at the anxiety that comes with Friday the 13th, for some the day can be really tough. Consider paraskevidecatriaphobia, which is actually a reference to Friday the 13th. No matter how you feel about this date, we hope it works well for you! Malini Avasthi, a folk singer of Goswami Tulsidas, whose classics include Ramcharitmanas and Sant Kabir, is my all-time favourite poetess among modern poets, though there are many poets I admire, but Suryakant Tripathi’s Nirala remains my favourite for its wide-ranging themes – romanticism, bonding between people, relationships, rain, weather, nature, etc. I have sung his poems including “Veenavadni His songs include “Vaasni Var De”, “Main Todi Patthar”, “Shakti Basant Aaya”, “Badal Re Ji Tarse”, “Barson Mere Aangan” etc. He was a brave and true poet and his Shakti Puja of Ram is also a classic and revered association that can be traced back to the goddess Freya, whose sphere mythologically is love, fertility and war. This reverence in itself brings a more optimistic color to Friday, for example, the power of the number 13 is also reflected in the theme art, “Venus of Lauselle”, displayed in the museum of Bordeaux, France. The 18.11-inch long limestone figure of a nude woman is still considered a powerful symbol of fertility. In the film, the woman can be seen cradling her pregnant belly and holding a horn, which has 13 lines carved in the corners. In modern times, is there a mascot greater than Taylor Swift? In fact, the pop icon even talked about this in an interview with Jay Leno in 2009: “I was born on the 13th. I turned 13 on Friday the 13th. My first album went gold in 13 weeks. It’s a 13-second introduction, while many people might laugh at the anxiety that comes with this day, for some people it can be really tough when it comes to paraskevidecatriaphobia, which is really what the 13th is all about.
