I doubt the date had anything to do with it, but I left work early, just to come home and cry. Gawd I hate my fucking sensitive side.

Friday the 13th is just another day for me, i don't put any stock in super stitions, or beliefs, or what ever you want to call them.

Jacques de Molay the last Grand Master of the Templars was burned on the stake in october 1314 friday the 13th. He cursed the king and the pope they would meet God within the year. The King and pope both died, within the year. Hence friday the 13th is cursed forever.... muahahahahahaha

Actually, today was Purple Up! Day around here - a day to show support for the children of military families. I forgot to wear purple though, because I suck.

I'm superstitious in the positive way. Don't need any more fear in my life, so I make it work for me w/positive beliefs/affirmations.

he was executed in 1314. BUT the date was the 18th, not the 13th. A History of the Inquisition of the Middle Ages Vol. III by Henry Charles Lea, p. 325 he was arrested 7 years earlier on friday, october 13th.

Jesus was betrayed by the 13th to arrive at the last supper, Judas, on what the church considers "Good Friday." Friday has been considered a bad luck day since at least the 14th century--the Canterbury Tales mentions it, and many professions consider it a bad day to begin a journey (not to mention the Black Friday crash). In numerology, 12 is a number of completeness, and 13 steps off again. As above, 13 was an unlucky number for a dinner party--go 12 or 14. Put Friday and 13 together--a double whammy. Interestingly, if you're born on Friday the 13th, it's then a lucky day for you. In Italy, the 17th is considered an unlucky day. I don't know why.

Still other sources speculate that the number 13 may have been purposely vilified by the founders of patriarchal religions in the early days of western civilization because it represented femininity. Thirteen had been revered in prehistoric goddess-worshiping cultures, we are told, because it corresponded to the number of lunar (menstrual) cycles in a year (13 x 28 = 364 days). The "Earth Mother of Laussel," for example — a 27,000-year-old carving found near the Lascaux caves in France often cited as an icon of matriarchal spirituality — depicts a female figure holding a crescent-shaped horn bearing 13 notches. As the solar calendar triumphed over the lunar with the rise of male-dominated civilization, it is surmised, so did the "perfect" number 12 over the "imperfect" number 13, thereafter considered anathema.

K. ::curtseys:: you are quite welcome! there are a number of conflicting sources, but the majority are in accord as to the year of death as he cursed both the king and the pope who died the same year. at least that is what i have read, record-keeping in the middle ages was horrid, because all they had were cheap Tandy computers from Radio Hovel, as bill gates would be busy advising the russian tsars until 1916 or so.
