So is today 🔪or 🍀?
Yeah, it’s Friday the 13th👇
Long before it was feared, the number 13 was considered powerful.
In folk magic and witchcraft traditions, 13 symbolizes crossing thresholds, bending fate, and working with unseen forces.
Witches don’t fear the 13th; we work with it.
🖤 Folklore teaches that odd numbers carry magic, and 13 is the most mystical of them all
🖤 It’s a number tied to liminal moments, endings that become beginnings
🖤 In many magical traditions, days that feel “unsettling” are actually potent for spellwork, luck work, and intention-setting
And in Tarot?
🃏 Card XIII is Death, not misfortune, but transformation, shedding skins, and NECESSARY change.
The fear of Friday the 13th came later, 🔪🔪🔪 🫣 layered on by superstition, religion, and eventually pop culture. But witches remember the older meaning.
✨ A lucky day for bold magic
✨ A lucky day to release what’s stale
✨ A lucky day to trust change
Because in witchcraft, luck favors those ready to embrace the uncomfortable and the much-needed change. Be the change, friends 🖤

What superstition do you secretly love or totally refuse to believe?
