June
2008 Friday the 13th
The
most "Feared" And Haunted Day
Of 2008!
2008 has
only one Friday the 13th this year and it
is in June. So does this have any haunted
or paranormal significance? In Necromancy
it is a day dedicated for me to contact
real ghosts, Spirits and sometimes demons
and get as many predictions of the future
I can! Many wiccan covens meet this night.
as do those that hold seance's and Bone
Conjurers.
I personally
have celebrated this day as a special day
of the dead for many years. In my feelings
and belief a special year is one that has
one Friday the 13th and on Friday the 17th.
I use tto celebrate the day when I lved
in Marshall, Texas by shattering mirrors,
and looking for black cats and ladders.
Call me crazy but one should seize the day!
Any other time of the year I could not stand
people breaking mirrors.
Friday the
13th is considered a day of bad luck in
English-, French- and Portuguese-speaking
countries around the world, as well as in
Austria, Germany, Estonia, Finland, The
Netherlands, Belgium, Republic of Ireland,
Poland, Bulgaria, Denmark, Iceland, Sweden,
Norway, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Slovenia,
and even the Philippines .
Similar superstitions exist in some other
traditions. In Greece, Romania and Spanish-speaking
countries, for example, it is Tuesday the
13th that is considered unlucky. In Italy
it is Friday the 17th which occurs in October
only this year.
Many ghost hunting groups, Mediums, Psychics
and Paranormal investigators go out knowing
this is the day you will be in contact with
the dead weither you want to or not. June
13 is the 164th day of the year (165th in
leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. There
are 201 days remaining until the end of
the year.

The American Necromancer
Friday
The 13th
IS
TODAY ONE OF THE MOST GHOST HAUNTED DAYS
OF THE YEAR
Friday
the 13th
The
veil is lifted between the worlds on a
Friday the 13th.
Ghost and all that is
evil is brought forth to haunt the world.
From New Orleans to Haiti this day is
feared! New Orleans Voodooist hold this
day very holy in some secret society's.
This is the day that the most evil of
Ghede are released when some fool stumbles
upon the Gate
of Guinee.
Also
See: Voodoo Cemetery
Gates Of Guinee
In some cultures, Friday
is considered unlucky, especially regarding
Friday the 13th. This is particularly
so in maritime circles; perhaps the most
enduring sailing superstition is that
it is unlucky to begin a voyage on a Friday.
In one story a Royal Navy ship (HMS Friday)
was laid down on a Friday, launched on
a Friday, captained by a Captain Friday,
and was never heard of again. As told
by comedian Dave Allen on the BBC in the
1970s, however, this superstition is not
universal, notably in Scottish Gaelic
culture:
"Though Friday
has always been held an unlucky day in
many Christian countries, still in the
Hebrides it is supposed that it is a lucky
day for sowing the seed. Good Friday in
particular is a favorite day for potato
planting—even strict Roman Catholics
make a point of planting a bucketful on
that day. Probably the idea is that as
the Resurrection followed the Crucifixion,
and Burial so too in the case of the seed,
and after death will come life."
(Reference: Dwelly’s [Scottish]
Gaelic Dictionary (1911): Di-haoine) The
use of the Gregorian calendar and its
leap year system, results in a small statistical
anomaly, that the 13th of any month is
slightly more likely to fall on a Friday
than any of the other seven days.
Chronomancy
is divination of the best time to do something,
determination of lucky and unlucky days,
especially popular in ancient China.
Chronomancy stems from
the word chronos (meaning time), and it
is generally a fictional and sensational
school of magic. Although the school is
based on quantum physics and certain scientific
theories, there is no concrete evidence
of the perfected use of time manipulation.
The most historically known human that
has been believed to possess the powers
of chronomancy is Saint Germaine, a philosopher,
alchemist, and spiritualist. He has been
believed to transcend time by reincarnation
and eternal youth.
Many Paranormal Investigators
will often tell you "More Ghost Photos"
will happen on a Friday 13th then any
others. Certain Cities ghosts become more
active on this day also. New Orleans,
Owensboro, Kentucky, Miami, Hollywood,
and New York. I think from questioning
ghost the best answer is that they so
believed this when they were alive that
they made it the day when all the dead
remember to come back and haunt the living.
The same follows very true with a February
29th.
Many Satanic cults hold
special initian rituals into the Unlucky
13 Club, In Galveston, Texas a local Satanist
says an unspoke old tradition is to find
a new woman to be the human altar they
practice their Black Mass on. And allow
neophytes to move up the ranks. This year
80 more new Satanist were baptized into
the Religion alone. And 200 more have
put in an application to join.
The Voodoo cults of
Galveston plan a Hurricane ritual to ward
off any impending storms ahead. This year
is the 11th Hurricane Protection Voodoo
Ceremony that will be performed in a quiet
Galveston suburban neighborhood this year.
This particular Voodoo ritual has been
done each time a hurricane forms in the
Atlantic or Gulf of Mexico and is to summon
the protection of the spirit world against
each hurricane individually. Each time
there is a hurricane we perform the hurricane
ritual at a moments notice. Each year
it is practiced with special prayers and
chants to their Vodoun, the Loa Agwe.
The personification of the ocean, and
the patron of sailors and fishermen.
Rituals for Agwe, (Agoue) are held near
the bay, and offerings to him are floated
on hand made rafts or small boats. Agwe
is associated with the catholic St. Ulrich.
The two of my favorite events I attended
last year were The hurricane Blessing
and Voodoo Hoodoo Head washing ceremonies
at Galveston, Bay held at midnight. The
Hurricane Ritual will be held on Friday
the 13th this year near the strand.
Just
Silly Superstitions?
Before the 19th century,
though the number 13 was considered unlucky,
and Friday was considered unlucky, there
was no link between them. The first documented
mention of a "Friday the 13th"
is generally listed as occurring in the
early 1900s.
The name Friday comes
from the Old English frigedæg, meaning
the day of Frige the Anglo-Saxon form
of Frigg, the Germanic goddess of beauty.
In most Germanic languages it is named
after Freyja—such as Freitag in
Modern German, vrijdag in Dutch, fredag
in Swedish, Norwegian, and Danish—but
Freyja and Frigg are frequently identified
with each other. The word for Friday in
most Romance languages is derived from
the name of Venus such as vendredi in
French, venerdì in Italian, viernes
in Spanish, and vineri in Romanian. In
Hindi, Friday is Shukravar, named for
Shukra, the Sanskrit name of the planet
Venus. Russian uses an ordinal number
for this day of the week-- piatnítsa,
meaning "fifth." Similarly,
the Portuguese is sexta-feira.
In Japan, Friday is
Kin-Youbi: "Gold Day" or "money
day", and in many Asian cultures,
as in The US, paydays are on Fridays.
After the United States
acquired Alaska from Russia in 1867, Friday
October 6 was immediately followed by
Friday October 18, adjusting to the adoption
of the 1582 Gregorian calendar changes
by the British colonies in 1752, and the
shifting of the International Date Line.
Prior to that change, Alaska began Russia's
day, with the date line following the
partially-defined border between Russian
Alaska and British North America, including
the colony of British Columbia.
The Jewish Sabbath begins
at sunset on Friday and lasts until sunset
on Saturday.
In Christianity Good
Friday is the Friday before Easter. It
commemorates the crucifixion of Jesus.
Some Catholics and Prayer
Book Anglicans will refrain from eating
the meat of warm blooded animals on Fridays,
and will often choose fish instead.
Quakers traditionally
refer to Friday as "Sixth Day"
eschewing the pagan origins of the name.
In Slavic countries, it is called "Fifth
Day" (Polish piatek, Russian piatnitsa)
In Islam, Friday is
the day of public worship in mosques (see
Friday prayers). In some Islamic countries,
the week begins on Sunday and ends on
Saturday, just as the Jewish and Christian
week. In most other Islamic countries,
such as Saudi Arabia and Iraq, the week
begins on Saturday and ends on Friday.
In most countries with
a five-day work week, Friday is the last
workday before the weekend and is, therefore,
viewed as a cause for celebration or relief.
In some offices, employees are allowed
to wear less formal attire on Fridays,
known as Casual Friday or Dress-Down Friday.
In the Spanish-speaking
world, it is Tuesday the 13th (as well
as Tuesdays in general) that brings bad
luck; a proverb runs En martes, ni te
cases ni te embarques, ni de tu familia
te apartes. (on Tuesday, neither get married
nor start a journey, or separate yourself
from your family).
However, documentation
aside, many popular stories exist about
the origin of the concept:
The Last Supper, with
stories that Judas was the thirteenth
guest, and that the Crucifixion of Jesus
occurred on Good Friday.
That the biblical Eve offered the fruit
to Adam on a Friday, and that the slaying
of Abel happened on a Friday (though the
Bible does not identify the days of the
week when these events occurred). Many
believe that Satan and the horde ofdevil's
or fallen angels fell from grace on Friday.
That it started on Friday, October 13,
1307, the date that many Knights Templar
were simultaneously arrested in France,
by agents of King Philip IV.
However, historically, there is no true
date that the Friday the 13th superstition
can be linked to.
In the case of Greece,
Tuesday, April 13, 1204 was the date that
Constantinople was sacked by the crusaders
of the fourth crusade. The first ever
fall of the richest then Christian city,
and the looting that followed, allegedly
gave Tuesday 13 its bad meaning. Ironically
enough, Constantinople fell for the second
time in its history on Tuesday, May 29,
1453, to the Ottoman Turks, a date that
puts an end to the Byzantine empire, and
to Greek sovereignty for several centuries,
and therefore reinforcing Tuesday as an
unlucky day in the Greek world.
Bad
Luck There are many things to avoid on
Friday The 13th
The number 13 (many
buildings were built without a designated
13th floor when numbering their floors
for this reason, skipping from the 12th
floor to the 14th floor)
The number 4 (in China, the word's pronunciation
in Mandarin and Cantonese is similar to
"si", which means death. A similar
belief is present in Japan and Korea.)
A black cat crossing one's path (the opposite
belief prevails in Great Britain and parts
of Ireland)
Stepping on a crack (doing so would cause
your mother's back to break; rhymed as
"step on a crack, break your mother's
back")
Stepping on a line in pavement or floor
cover (similar to above, rhymed as "step
on a line, you'll break your spine")
Breaking a mirror (seven years of bad
luck)
Spilling over salt (dates to when salt
was more precious than gold, if one spilt
some it was believed to mean that a demon
was trying to steal one's salt, but by
appeasing it with a little salt over the
left shoulder, the demon would leave)
Putting a hat on a bed
Opening an umbrella indoors
Killing a ladybug/ladybird
Killing a spider in one's home
Walking underneath a ladder (when being
hanged, the condemned man would often
be made to pass underneath a ladder before
climbing it and onto the gallows)
Replying "thank you" to someone
wishing good luck
Picking up a penny face-down (can be avoided
by giving the penny away)
Putting shoes on a table. In the UK, this
is considered to bring extremely bad luck,
traditionally the death of a person in
the house. This is sometimes specified
to only be unlucky when new shoes are
put on a table
In the British Navy it was traditionally
considered unlucky to have a woman on
board ship, although this may be a more
practical matter. Having a naked woman
on a ship was considered good luck, however.
Among sailors it is considered unlucky
to kill a porpoise or an albatross (see
The Rime of the Ancient Mariner where
the title character is cursed for killing
this bird)
Among sailors it is considered bad luck
to have anything blue aboard
It is also considered very bad luck to
launch a ship on a Friday
When launching a ship by breaking a bottle
on its hull, a failure of the bottle to
break is considered bad luck.
Saying "good luck", especially
to an actor going onstage (the preferred
expression is: Break a leg)
In theaters, "Macbeth" must
not be uttered by anyone unless it is
necessary to the show. For example, if
the company is performing Shakespeare's
Macbeth, one says "the Scottish Play"
and refers to the characters as "Mackers"
and "Lady Makers"
Sinistrality (being left-handed)
Seeing one magpie
A bird flies into one's window (a person
in the family will die today, or has died
last night). In some variants, it is believed
to only be bad luck if the bird dies.
Using a Ouija board; it is believed by
some to attract bad spirits
In Japan and China putting chopsticks
upright in rice is considered very bad
luck (since it resembles the incense used
in offerings to the dead)
In some areas it is believed to be bad
luck to kill a mockingbird; this becomes
a part (albeit not a large part) of the
story To Kill a Mockingbird, as well as
inspiring the title.
Cutting your nails at night
Turning a horse shoe upside down is said
in Britain to drain the good luck from
it and bring about bad luck: in Italy,
horse shoes are turned upside down explicitly
to contain the good luck they bring
Avoiding eye contact when toasting with
another person
Shaking your leg while sitting
Saying 'rabbit' on the Isle of Portland
Saying "Bloody Mary" (you will
supposedly see the queen, Bloody Mary,
covered in blood
In Russia if you sit on a table top, one
of your relatives will die
Paraskevidekatriaphobia
As the word itself suggests, superstitions
concerning Friday the 13th combine two
distinct bad-luck assocaitions - fear
of the number 13 (Triskaidekaphobia),
and the day Friday. The combination of
these two elements creates the hybrid
monster of extreme unluckiness that is
'Friday the 13th'.

Each Gregorian 400-year
cycle contains 146,097 days (365 * 400 =
146,000 normal days plus 97 leap days),
146,097 / 7 = 20,871 weeks, and 400 * 12
= 4,800 months. Thus, each cycle contains
the same pattern of days of the week (and
thus the same pattern of Fridays the 13th),
but no day of the month up to the 28th can
occur the same number of times on each day
of the week (because 4,800 is not divisible
by 7). The 13th day of the month is slightly
more likely to be a Friday than any other
day of the week.
On average, there is a Friday the
13th once every 212.35 (212 and 241/688)
days.
