We consider ourselves sensible logical people yet in tall buildings there is no 13th floor! The elevator goes from 12th floor to 14th floor as if there wasn`t a number 13! People dread when Friday the 13th comes round, expecting disaster. Fear of the number 13 is called trikaidekaphobia but how did this superstition begin? Not that long ago, before Christianity became popular, folk followed natures cycles and paid heed to the 13 moons of the year. They celebrated Summer & Winter Solstice, Spring & Autumn Equinox and all the other celebrations of nature. It was a way of life that honoured Mother Nature, the feminine. When priests came along and wanted to persuade people to give up the indigenous customs, they began to make up stories about the number 13 saying it was bad luck. The old superstition about not having 13 people sat at a dinner table comes from the last supper where Jesus was betrayed. Mostly though, the priest cast consisted exclusively of men and they wanted the people to worship the masculine. In fact it was Pope Gregory who invented the Gregorian calendar, the one we use today . When people began to adapt to the Popes way of measuring time, the old customs of living by natural cycles was forgotten. A little bit of propaganda from the Vatican certainly helped and since then the number 13 has had a bad name. The number 13 is a special number, it is not unlucky or lucky it is simply powerful. King Arthur had 12 knights (12+1=13) In many religions 13 is the age initiation ( Jewish, Native American) In music there are 13 notes in a scale. 13 moon calendars has existed amongst the Druids, Hindus, Buddhists and Native Americans. The U.S.A. Was founded with 13 states. Coven have 13 members Arguably there are 13 astrological signs not 12, Ophiuchus being the 13th. The thirteenth moon of the year is the moon of the turtle and people born on `Cosmic` days are connected to this totem. The turtle represents `slow but sure`. Remember the story or the Tortoise and the Hare? The tortoise won the race through slow but sureness. This connects to number thirteen people and their `transcend through endurance` destiny. see Turtle Moon for more info
