I MEAN BASICALLY!!!!! 🎃🎃🎃 TAG A FRIEND WHO NEEDS 2 KNOW⁣ ⁣ ALSO! here’s a little history on friday the 13th for all my nerdy occulty bbs (excerpt from my article published in @allure aug 2018):⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ “Historians believe superstition surrounding the number 13 began in the 17th century, though they can't identify one singular event that sparked its bad reputation. It wasn't until the 20th century, however, that the number 13's infamy exploded — fueled, perhaps not surprisingly, by a work of fiction. In 1907, businessman and author Thomas Lawson published a novel entitled Friday, the Thirteenth about a rogue broker who chose that date to destroy the stock market.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Subsequently, the concept of "unlucky number 13" entered the zeitgeist, and by 1910, the term triskaidekaphobia, which means "fear of the number 13," was coined by a pioneering psychologist, further perpetuating the superstition. The myth about the number's unlucky attributes continued to build throughout the 20th century, and in 1980, its place in the collective conscious — along with its connection to Friday — was solidified by the slasher film Friday the 13th.” ⁣ ⁣ #astrology #astrologymemes #astromemes #fridaythe13th #lindsaylohan #meangirls #fullmoon #geminifullmoon #sagittariusseason
