Suffering from Triskaidekaphobia?
Friday the 13th was a potent symbolic date in the Middle Ages and the superstition remains widespread in Britain, Ireland, the United States, Australasia and parts of continental Europe.
Prof Hutton says the superstition is rapidly weakening and few people nowadays give it much thought but he added: "Having said that whenever I have flown the Atlantic on a Friday the 13th I notice the plane is much emptier."
He says: "Human beings have always tried to come to terms with fate and try to be predictive.
"Of course the law of averages says there is nothing in it and there is no reason why one day should be luckier than another."
But if you suffer from triskaidekaphobia -- fear of the number 13 -- 1998 is a bad year. There were Friday the 13ths in February and March and another one is due in November.

Numbers. The occult. All neutral unless acted upon in a particular manner. It is HOW you use the number and not the other way around.
As for me, the only unlucky thing about Friday the 13th is that it didn't come on Thursday the 12th.

I think Friday the 13th is a wonderful day. When I was a kid the local theatre (now an insurance claim processing center) would have all night scary movie festivals. The police chief lifted curfew and kids packed the theatre for a dozen horror films in a row for the price of one, interspersed with some old B&W serial. So for me, Friday the 13th always meant monster movies and Milk Duds, as did Halloween. Having both the same month! Sweet!

The superstition of the 13 being undesirable success is going t the time of the Christ. Supposedly, there have been the 12 Apostles and Christ, 13 on the final Supper. surprisingly, the Jewish custom carry 13 as an extremely fortunate huge type. A boy will become a guy on his thirteenth birthday, and so on. The Hebrew numbering proper directly to the meaning of the phrases the numbers create. it quite is properly-known because of fact the Gemetria. The huge type 13 is composed of two Hebrew letters, gimel and yod. Eighteen is chet yod, which makes the artwork chiam (existence).
