Tomorrow at 11:30 a.m. which is also Friday, the 13th, we have a full moon. No doubt many of us have been feeling out of sorts.

This
Full Moon is about communication, attitude, and our sense of
adventure. Something has been
building inside of us, and now is
the time when the energy of the cosmos fairly demands that we let
it out. Over the next two weeks, we will discover what this
means for us. For now, we can't sit on our feelings.
We need to express them.
The
Full Moon illuminates this conflict between logic and
intuition/faith.
With the Moon full and bright in the sky, symbolic "illumination"
occurs in our own lives. However, these new feelings and
revelations are emotional ones, as there is a sense of emotions
bursting forth into our consciousness. It's time to express
ourselves, and to let things out of our systems. Of course, we
might want to exercise some care while doing so, knowing that
what is coming out of us is fresh, unrefined, and not particularly rational as
yet.

...many have a full understanding of the significance of
this day. It has been suggested that Friday has been considered an
unlucky day because, according to Christian scripture and tradition,
Jesus was crucified on a Friday.
The actual origin of the superstition, though, appears also to be a
tale in Norse mythology. Friday is named for Frigga, the free-spirited
goddess of love and fertility. When Norse and Germanic tribes converted
to Christianity, Frigga was banished in shame to a mountaintop and
labeled a witch. It was believed that every Friday, the spiteful goddess
convened a meeting with eleven other witches, plus the devil — a
gathering of thirteen — and plotted ill turns of fate for the coming
week.
For many centuries in Scandinavia, Friday was known as “Witches’
Sabbath.” with Friday the 13th having an even deeper more sinister
significance.
In fact Friday the 13th can be a very lucky day. Friday is also
associated with Venus, the Roman Goddess of love, beauty and fertility
and Friday is viewed by many pagans as the best day to perform any magic
relating to Venus’ areas of expertise: love, fertility and beauty.
The number 13 has been a magical number since the the Ancient
Egyptians first depicted the Ladder to Eternal Life. They believed that
there were twelve steps on the ladder to eternal life and knowledge and
to take the thirteenth step meant going through death into everlasting
life. Thirteen, for the Egyptians, was associated with immortality.
The number 13 in the Coperos religion (small culture in brazil) is
like a God number. All coperos must know that this number can save the
humankind. In Sikhism, the number 13 is considered a special number since 13 is tera in Punjabi, which also means “yours” (as in, “I am yours, O Lord”).
There are other significances of the number 13; There are thirteen
Moon cycles in a year, the ancient Lunar calendar had 13 months, a
traditional coven has 13 members, Romans require 13 guests be present at
weddings, in the Hebrew faith age 13 is considered to be an adult,
there are 13 players on a rugby team and there are 13 cards of each suit
in a deck of cards.
