Happy Friday the 13th!
Every Friday is Venus Day, the day of the Goddess.
13 is a powerful number (many reasons listed at the bottom of this message) connected to the power of the Goddess as women cycle just like the moon, 13 times in a year based on lunar and ancient calendar systems before Gregorian was established.
So you put them together (Friday + 13), and get a whole lotta magick!
Because Friday the 13th is a day that is connected to the power of the Goddess, it is a day to revere and celebrate the Divine Feminine.
13 is a number connected to spiritual growth and transformation, connected to the cycles of life, death and rebirth.
However... that's not what they want us to think!
The number 13 and Friday the 13th was distorted as an unlucky number/day where it is really the absolute opposite. So, we have to understand why that is....
There has been a war waged on women's power, bodies and sexuality for millennia to suppress Feminine Power and wisdom.. To keep women small.
A society that has taught us to be afraid of the dark... That moonblood is dirty and our bodies are shameful. That women should fear getting wrinkles and grey hairs. That aging is not beautiful. That crones are old hags.
For millennia, women were silenced, hunted and killed for using their oracular gifts. For gathering together with other women to pray and heal, using the power of the elements, medicines of the earth and their wombs wisdom.
It's no wonder why so many women have a hard time speaking their truth, feel a block in their throat chakra, dim their light and play small, and are afraid of their own power within them.
The Witch Wound is ancestral. It is connected cross-culturally. And as women are connected to all women through our wombs, the Witch Wound is a wound we all carry to some degree. Some of us may even have remembrances of being persecuted in past lives.
Even the word 'witch' has been distorted and resonates with a frequency that is not pure of its essence as a witch is a woman who works with the unseen realms using the power of the elements within and all around her. She who lives in alignment with the moon and stars, working with healing plants of the earth, and with communing with that which is intangible.
So this Friday the 13th is your day to come out of the broom closet and wave your witch flag high, perhaps gather in sisterhood and do something "witchy"!
In our upcoming Lunar Womb Goddess 8 week journey that begins on September 25th I am guiding women through, we journey in the season of the witch together and through Witches New Year (Samhain - Halloween). We work to dismantle the societal and cultural beliefs engrained in us and unravel and heal the Witch Wounds present. We work to shed fears of stepping into our feminine power, reclaim our sexuality and the power of our moonblood and step into our magical gifts, worthiness and inner truth; living in accordance to our wombs knowing!
Feeling called to join us and reclaim your feminine power and ancient wisdom?
