Friday the 13th! Bad Valentine’s Eve Day – Love vs Anti-Love?…Whatever…just #LoveYourself!
We have all had our share of bad Valentine’s Day memories (ok, I have….at least) Today Valentine’s Eve, the 13th Day of February falls on what many consider to be the unluckiest day of the year! For our 13th Blog post in #FebruaryMonthOfLove – we are getting some inspiration from some unlucky superstitions and some past Bad LOVE dates on Friday the 13th.
If you are one of those who hides at home on Feb 13th, and stays in bed paralyzed by fear you have the phobia friggatriskaidekaphobia. Frigga from the name of the Norse goddess for whom Friday is named, and triskaidekaphobia, or fear of the number thirteen. Here are some of the popular myths and superstitions surrounding the day:
- If you cut your hair on Friday the 13th, someone in your family will die.
- If a funeral procession passes you on Friday the 13th, you will be the next to die.
- Do not start a trip on Friday or you will encounter misfortune.
- If you break a mirror on Friday the 13th, you will have seven years of bad luck.
- A child born on Friday the 13th will be unlucky for life.
- Ships that set sail on a Friday will have bad luck.
- If you walk under a ladder or if a black cat crosses you on Friday the 13th, you will have bad luck.
Not really any Love Spells happening with any of these supersitions are there. We think it’s interesting to remember that on this Day in 2009 The famous Bad Valentine’s Day Episode went on Air. Liz Lemon (Tina Fey ) and dashing Dr. Baird (Jon Hamm of madMen Fame) have a Horrible First Date on Valentine’s Day, meanwhile Elisa and Jack attend a Valentine’s Church service and find a McFlurry coupon in the collection plate. Believing it is a sign from God because both Elisa and Jack love theMcDonald’s dessert. they end up spending Valentine’s Day together at a McDonald’s.\
