Origins and Myths


Friday the thirteenth is considered the unluckiest of days in many superstitions, unless you were born on Friday the thirteenth in which case it is your lucky day.

The fear of Friday the 13th is called paraskavedekatriaphobia or paraskevidekatriaphobia, a specialized form of triskaidekaphobia, a phobia (fear) of the number thirteen.

Origins

The origins of Friday superstitions are many. One of the best known is that Eve tempted Adam with the apple on a Friday. Tradition also has it that the Flood in the Bible, the confusion at the Tower of Babel.

The origins of the Friday the 13th superstition have also been linked to the fact there were 13 people at the last supper of Jesus, who was traditionally crucified on Good Friday, but it probably originated only in medieval times.

It has also been linked to the fact that a lunisolar calendar must have 13 months in some years, while the solar Gregorian calendar and lunar Islamic calendar always have 12 months in a year.

Norse Legend

Another suggestion is that the belief originated in a Norse myth about twelve gods having a feast in Valhalla. The mischievous Loki gatecrashed the party as an uninvited 13th guest and arranged for Hod, the blind god of darkness, to shoot Baldur, the god of joy and gladness, with a mistletoe-tipped arrow. Baldur was killed and the Earth was plunged into darkness and mourning as a result.

Friday' was named after Frigg (or Frigga), the Norse goddess of marriage.

Later she was confused with the goddess of love, Freya, who in turn became identified with Friday. When the Norsemen and Germanic tribes became Christians, Freya was supposed to have been banished to the mountains as a witch. Friday came to be called 'witches' Sabbath. It was believed that on this day, each week, twelve witches and the Devil met - thirteen evil spirits in all.


France - Knights Templar


Some also say that the arrest of Jaques de Molay, Grand Master of the Knights Templar, and 60 of his senior knights on Friday, October 13, 1307 by King Philip IV of France is the origin of this superstition. That day thousands of Templars were arrested and subsequently tortured. They then 'confessed' and were executed. From that day on, Friday the 13th was considered by followers of the Templars as an evil and unlucky day.

As the story goes .... King Philip IV of France was known as an uncommonly handsome man. He was called Philip le Bel, the Beautiful, an ironic epithet for a king of Gothic pitilessness. Because of the French king's constant financial problems, relations between Paris and Rome had degenerated into a ludicrous state.

King Philip IV had exhausted all the usual medieval methods for balancing the books. He had stolen property, arrested all the Jews, and devalued his currency. As a last resort, he tried to tax the church.

CONTINUED:

On September 14 he mass-mailed a set of sealed orders to every bailiff, seneschal, deputy and officer in his kingdom. The functionaries were forbidden under penalty of death to open the papers before Thursday night, October 12. The following Friday morning, alert to their secret instructions, armies of officials slipped out of their barracks. By sundown nearly all the Knights Templar throughout France were in jails. One estimate puts the arrests at two thousand, another as high as five thousand. Only twenty escaped.

The initial charges were vague - "A bitter thing, a lamentable thing, a thing horrible to think of and terrible to hear, a detestable crime, an execrable evil, an abominable act, a repulsive disgrace, a thing almost inhuman, indeed alien to all humanity, has, thanks to the reports of several trustworthy persons, reached our ear, smiting us grievously and causing us to tremble with the utmost horror."

What followed was so foul, according to folklore, that Templar sympathizers cursed the day itself, condemning it as evil - Friday the thirteenth - whose reputation never recovered.

Bible - Numbers

The Bible is often considered a book of numbers. In the Bible the numbers 7, 12 and 40 appear throughout the Old and New Testaments.

The number 12 is considered a lucky number. 12=1+2=3=physical reality - Also 12 Around 1

As a result, the number which follows 12 was thought to be evil.

The number 13 is probably the most common of all superstitions.

Buildings avoid numbering the 13th floor. Airplanes avoid the 13th aisle. And most common of all, Friday the 13th is considered a bad luck day.

The number 13=4=4th dimension or linear time - Numerology

Psychologists believe that Friday the 13th will become a day of bad luck if people focus on the day because people will create their own bad luck by paying attention to the superstition.

Feeding energy into anything - especially a superstition - can cause manifestation of the event - as the consciousness grids are reacting.

Remember the grids and the universe are mathematical. They respond to geometry - numbers - the primary language of the Universe.

When many people believe that an event is negative - dark - evil - based on a date - or number or sequence of numbers - this can cause disruptions in the grid harmonics - and cause the event to happen.

It is not unlike believing that a curse has been put on you - or your family - or someone you know.

The more you believe that it is real - the more you will create that reality in the grids.

You maybe simply looking for the drama of events linked to a specific superstition.

If you do not play within the parimeters of that energy - you won't even give it a second thought.

You can tune into the frequency of the superstition - fear - and experience the strength of it.

If you believe that everytime there is a Friday the 13th - something bad will befall you - then you will manifest an event of that type.

As far as digits go - they do have meaning as they are creational. It would follow that some digits are triggers - some are lucky - and some will signify the polarity - negative energies!

In ancient civilizations - Egyptian, Sumerian, Assyrian, Hebrew, Christian - people believed in Magic - the power of the Magician to caste a spell - the power of the Gods to create, etc. Much of it was all based on control by fear!

We have seen the tricks - the illusions - the magic - the clown - in all of the cultures we have looked at in recent months. It is in the program. Number 4 - the final trick! The main event for the trickster - or he just part of the illusion.
