Happy Saturday the 14th!

Happy Saturday the 14th!

Whew! We made it through another Friday the thirteenth! I hope you managed to hide from bad luck and dire deeds. I sure did. To tell the truth, I have no particular opinion or fear about thirteen or Friday or Friday the thirteenth, though I do find a lot of irony associated with the avoidance of thirteen. For example, buildings with more than 13 floors don’t call the 13th floor the 13th floor,…

Another Friday the Thirteenth

Another Friday the 13th has arrived. But how it it acquire its bad luck reputation. Theories...

It happens at least once and at most three times a year. Any month that starts on a Sunday, like this month, will have one. Another Friday the 13th. The fear of Friday the 13th is called friggatriskaidekaphobia. Frigga, meaning “Friday” and triskaideka for 13 and the Greek phóbos for phobia or “fear”. The word itself isn’t ancient – it was derived in 1911 and first appeared in a mainstream…

13 Things to Do On Friday the 13th

Celebrate Friday the 13th With a Friend

Friday the 13th is one of those days you either think is kind of fun or you fear in some way. There are friends who believe the day is bad luck. But I believe it’s just another day, one that you can use to celebrate a good time with friends. Plus, the cultural lore around the holiday is quirky and interesting.

Why Is Friday the 13th a Big Deal?

There is no real evidence that bad things happen on Friday the 13th more than any other day. Some folks attribute the belief that Friday the 13th is unlucky with the lore surrounding the number 13, and the superstitions that follow it, which have really only taken hold in this latest century. Some believe the bad luck of that number is associated with the betrayal of Jesus and others think it might have come from a book published in 1907. The book, Friday the Thirteenth, sold lots of copies and was made into a movie, so it seems that people were willing to belief the myth that the day would eventually represent.

There is even an official name for the fear of Friday the 13th called friggatriskaidekaphobia, which is a combination of the derivatives of the name Friday and the fear of the number thirteen. It is estimated that between 17 to 21 million people fear the day, or at least claim to.

Forget Superstitions! Celebrate Friday the 13th

This can be a day you turn into harmless fun for you and your friends. Make it a positive. First, find out when Friday the 13th falls. Some years have more than one occurence, so you could use some of the following suggestions for one of the dates and do the rest of them on the next date, or just completely change it up. No matter when this fateful day falls in any given year, it at least kicks off a weekend. You could do a theme night (horror movie marathon anyone?), or just use the day to tell a few friends you’re thinking about them. Most of all, have fun with it.

In keeping with the theme of this day, I’ve given you thirteen (13) ideas for ways to celebrate. Most of these are inexpensive and take virtually no planning or time so they’ll be easy to do.

Call up a friend and ask if you can pick up a few items for them (like maybe, thirteen or so) from the grocery store on your way home from work.

Write an “I’m grateful you’re my friend” message on their Facebook wall. Or, in keeping with the theme here, write on thirteen different friend’s walls.

Bake a batch of thirteen cookies and drop them off at a friend’s house.

Write a note to a friend and include thirteen things you love about them.

Make a friend a baker’s dozen of their favorite cupcakes.

Play some Friday the 13th games.

Meet them at the coffee shop and find out how lucky you both are.

Invite friends over for a Friday the 13th movie marathon.

Learn more about feng shui together, by taking a class or just hitting up the information available at your local bookstore. Feng shui is believed to help you attract more luck in your life.

Have a Friday the 13th theme party, complete with black cupcakes, spooky decorations, and punch. Just for fun, try to figure out whether you have Triskaidekaphobia or Paraskevidekatriaphobia.

Change up the traditional thoughts about Friday the 13th and enlist a friend to help you develop a lucky attitude. Make a list of things you could do together, like take a class on being positive or building your self-esteem.

Adopt a black cat.

Buy a friend lunch and ask them what they feel has been the luckiest moment of their life.

10/13

I suppose I should mention

in passing that it is Friday

the 13th, and show off my

knowledge of the word…

paraskevidekatriaphobia

(though I will admit that all

I know, year to year, is that

the word exists…I have to

google it every year since

I only use it once every 212.35

days, on this day of all days…

(thank’s again google) as a kind

of celebration of how silly

we humans are…a word for

everything. Or in this case

three. The one I have seen

and used before is the much

more pronounceable (and

memorable) triskaidekaphobia…

though that misses out the

whole Friday thing, so I suppose

paraskevidekatriaphobia

or it’s alternative which is

equally unpronounceable,

friggatriskaidekaphobia…

are to be preferred by the

pedantic among us…which,

considering what I am writing

probably includes me. And,

while I am not superstitious

enough to really have a fear,

I do have to deal with a touch

of extra anxiety when I first

realize the coincidence of

date and day of week that

is Friday the 13th. I will

forget it in a moment. As

soon as I am done here.

Or at least I hope so. I would

not want to carry the load

of friggatriskaidekaphobia

around with me all day, or

paraskevidekatriaphobia

either.

Friday the 13th

There are two words for the fear of Friday the 13th: friggatriskaidekaphobia (from Frigga, the Norse goddess for whom "Friday" is named in English and triskaidekaphobia meaning fear of the number thirteen), or paraskevidekatriaphobia (from the Greek words Paraskeví meaning "Friday"), and dekatreís meaning "thirteen").

Friday 13th January and my own Superstitions for this time of year!

So how was your Friday the 13th, I hope it went off without any snags, accidents or panic attacks. Friday the 13th has not one but two unwieldy terms to describe it—paraskavedekatriaphobia and friggatriskaidekaphobia—  supposedly the unlucky day. Although my unluckiest day of the year so far kicked in on the evening of Thursday the 12th of January – so I seemed to be planning ahead when it came…

#perlesjournal Happy Friday the 13th. Do you have friggatriskaidekaphobia or paraskavedekatriaphobia - fear of Friday the Thirteenth? Or just triskaidekaphobia - fear of the number thirteen? You’re not alone.  It’s not so much a fear these days as a superstition handed down through the generations. No one knows exactly why 13 or Friday the 13th particularly is unlucky.  In numerology, the number twelve is considered the number of completeness. Consider the things that come in twelves: months in a year; hours in a day; tribes of Israel, apostles (Judas was the 13th).  Thirteen obviously throws off the whole and bad things happen. Historically, 13th Street and 13th Avenue were often omitted in street numbering; the 13th floor is still skipped in many tall buildings.*  As if the not naming a floor 13 belies the fact that it is 13 carrying another label is somehow safer. Personally, I have adopted it as a pseudo holiday.  I don my all black attire, patted my black cat (for the 18 years of her life) on the way out the door and wish everyone a Happy Friday the 13th. * Note: The Otis Elevator Company reports that 80 to 90% of the elevators it has installed in skyscrapers and large hotels do not have a 13th floor button. #fridaythe13th #superstition #perlesaerie #blackcat #elevator https://www.instagram.com/p/CnXo4-hP9C0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Do you suffer from friggatriskaidekaphobia? That is, a morbid, irrational fear of Friday the 13th?

If so, you’re not the only one – apparently, President Franklin D. Roosevelt also suffered from it, avoiding travel on the 13th day of any month, and never hosting 13 guests at a meal.

So where does the superstition around Friday the 13th come from? Well, there are a number of theories as to where this relatively modern superstition comes from. Full Article: http://www.winknews.com/2018/04/13/whats-behind-friday-13th-superstition/
