The Truth About Friday 13th, Celebrate the Day of The Goddess & Friday, Venus Day: Reclaiming the Sacred Feminine
Friday the 13th has long been misunderstood, labeled with fear and superstition to suppress its true power. In reality, this day is deeply sacred, offering a potent opportunity to reconnect with the divine feminine, honor the cycles of nature, and reclaim the creative, intuitive, and sensual energies that are our birthright.
Whether you're observing Friday the 13th or simply embracing Fridays as Venus Day, these rituals and practices are designed to honor the sacred feminine and the rhythms of life.
The Sacred Significance of Friday the 13th
The Power of 13
The number 13 is intimately tied to the feminine and the natural world:
13 Moon Cycles: Each year, the moon moves through 13 phases, mirroring the cycles of menstruation.
Sacred Leadership: Ancient priestess traditions honored 12 in a group with the 13th as the leader, representing unity and divine guidance.
Sacred Calendars: Cultures like the Mayans and Cherokees celebrated 13 moons, and Venus's celestial movements create a 13-petaled rose every 8 years. Between each Equinox and solstice there is 13 weeks.
This sacred number has been misunderstood and feared, a distortion meant to disconnect us from its feminine wisdom.
The Magic of Fridays
Fridays are ruled by Venus, the planet of love, beauty, and abundance, and linked to Freya, the Norse goddess of fertility, magic, and sensuality. Together, Venus and Freya remind us to embrace pleasure, creativity, and connection as sacred acts.
In ancient times, Friday the 13th was revered as a day for ritual and renewal—a time to honor life’s cycles, the power of the womb, and the wild feminine. By reclaiming these traditions, we call back our energy, restore balance, and dissolve fear-based distortions.
Honoring the Womb and Divine Wisdom:
The 13th Rite of the Munay-Ki, known as the Rite of the Womb, is a powerful blessing that honors the creative portal of life within us. This sacred rite heals and empowers us, reclaiming the wisdom and strength of the feminine.
Reclaiming a Distorted Legacy:
The association of Friday the 13th with misfortune was a deliberate distortion created during the suppression of the sacred feminine. In 1487, Heinrich Kramer’s The Hammer of Witches vilified women who were healers, wise women, and seers. Millions were persecuted as witches simply for practicing natural healing, honoring their intuition, and embracing their sensuality.
The patriarchal erasure of divine feminine wisdom further extended to figures like Mary Magdalene, one of the most powerful embodiments of the priestess, whose true essence was reduced to false narratives.
The Divine Feminine and Earthly Connection:
The cycles of nature—birth, growth, decay, and renewal—mirror the wisdom of the divine feminine. Friday the 13th invites us to celebrate these cycles, aligning with the rhythms of the earth and moon.
Sacred Creativity and Healing Energy:
Friday’s Venusian energy inspires us to embrace our creative gifts, tuning into our receptivity to birth art, music, beauty, and healing into the world. This energy is essential in times of transformation, helping us bring balance and harmony to a wounded world.
Combine all of this energy, and you have a truly sacred day—a day for reclaiming the wisdom, magic, and power of the feminine.
Here in Avalon, the mystical energy of the sacred feminine feels especially potent as these aligned dates guide us toward reflection, renewal, and rebirth.
The world needs all the healers, lovers, and wise women to come out of the shadows now more than ever.
Rituals to Honor the Sacred Feminine
Create a Feminine Altar
Dedicate a space to the divine feminine. Adorn it with candles, flowers, crystals, and symbols of goddesses like Venus, Freya, or Gaia. Light a candle and express gratitude for the sacred feminine energy within you.
Water Rituals
Water is a sacred symbol of the feminine. Take a ritual bath with rose petals, salts, or essential oils, visualizing the water cleansing you of old energy and renewing your spirit.
Journaling as Reflection
Write about your connection to the feminine, your creative power, or your intentions for renewal. Journaling allows you to deepen your awareness and heal through introspection.
Dance and Movement
Awaken your Shakti energy through dance. Play music that inspires you, move freely, and let your body express itself without inhibition.
Artistic Creation
Engage in creative acts like painting, writing, singing, or crafting. Creation is a sacred feminine act, honoring life’s beauty and your own inner muse.
Embracing Venus Day: Honoring Pleasure and Beauty
Every Friday is Venus Day, a time to celebrate love, abundance, and beauty. Here are ways to connect with Venus energy:
1. Indulge Your Senses
Venus invites us to enjoy life’s simple pleasures. Eat mindfully, wear your favorite scent, and surround yourself with beauty, like fresh flowers or soft lighting.
2. Practice Self-Care
Treat yourself to a luxurious skincare routine, wear something that makes you feel beautiful, or enjoy a creative ritual like a bath or a facial steam.
3. Positive Affirmations
Look in the mirror and affirm your beauty, worth, and creativity. Repeat statements like:
"I am worthy of love and abundance."
"I radiate beauty and joy."
"I honor the cycles of life within me."
4. Dance and Sensuality
Move your body in ways that feel joyful and sensual. Dancing, especially moving your hips, awakens your life force and connects you to feminine energy.
5. Creativity as Worship
Engage in creative acts as an offering to Venus—paint, write, cook, or sing. Let your imagination flow freely, honoring the divine feminine within.
Reclaiming the Legacy of the Feminine
Historically, Friday the 13th and the sacred feminine have been distorted by fear-based propaganda. The vilification of women healers, intuitive wisdom, and sensuality sought to suppress feminine power. This extends to figures like Mary Magdalene, whose legacy as a priestess and teacher was reduced to false narratives.
By reclaiming these days and rituals, we challenge those distortions, honor our intuitive power, and step into collective healing. Calling back our energy isn’t just personal—it’s an act of liberation for all who have been disconnected from the sacred feminine.
The Sacred Feminine and Spiritual Liberation
The divine feminine teaches us to honor the cycles of life—birth, growth, decay, and renewal. Through rituals and self-care, we reconnect with these rhythms, embrace transformation, and reclaim our sacred power.
As I write this from Glastonbury, the mystical land of Avalon, I feel deeply connected to this energy. The alignment of Friday the 13th with these sacred lands and the approach of the winter solstice reminds me of the beauty and power in remembering our divine feminine roots.
The world needs healers, lovers, and creators now more than ever. By celebrating Friday the 13th and Venus Day, we honor the wisdom and rituals that have sustained humanity for generations.
Let’s reclaim these days.
