When you hear “Friday the 13th,” your mind might jump to bad luck, broken mirrors, and spooky superstitions. But what if we told you this day has been unfairly maligned—and that it’s actually a powerful, feminine, and auspicious time?
Let’s clear the fog around Friday the 13th and reveal the magic beneath the myth.
🌕 A Sacred Day of the Divine Feminine
Before patriarchal systems rebranded Friday the 13th as a day of doom, it was associated with the sacred, the lunar, and the divine feminine. Here’s why:
- Friday is named after Frigg (or Freya), the Norse goddess of love, beauty, fertility, and magic. She was revered—not feared.
- The number 13 corresponds to the number of lunar cycles in a year and is intimately tied to the menstrual cycle—a natural rhythm of intuition, renewal, and creation.
Together, Friday the 13th once honored the goddess, the moon, and the mysteries of feminine energy. No bad luck here—just beauty and depth.
🔮 Tarot, Cycles, and the Power of 13
In tarot, the 13th card of the Major Arcana is Death—but don’t let that spook you. The Death card is one of the most powerful in the deck: a symbol of transformation, rebirth, and the opportunity to shed old skins to make space for something greater.
Friday the 13th invites us to step into that energy—to release what no longer serves us and open our hearts to new magic.

- Light a candle and speak aloud something you're ready to let go of—and something you're calling in.
- Anoint yourself with your favorite scent or oil as a way of blessing your body and intuition.
- Wear or carry something with the number 13—a reminder that this number is sacred, not scary.
