Friday the 13th and effects on divine feminine. Also 1 Cimi (death)

The origin of Friday the 13th is the remembrance of the day when the Vatican betrayed the secret society the Knights Templar who later became what is known today as the Freemasons. The french crown owed a great deal of debt to the Templars who instituted the modern system of debt plus interest. When he realized that he had a debt no honest king could pay, King Phillip the Fair conspired with the Vatican and captured the leader of the Templars, Jacques DeMolay, and burned him at the stake on Friday Oct 13th, 1307.
Other Western legends hold the superstition to the last supper of Christ, a Friday with Jesus and his twelve apostles.
Certainly an archetypal power can arise from the fears of a collective psyche, but to acknowledge such a superstition, one would have to also believe that the Gregorian Calendar is something more than a device to measure time, and that it is not. Moreover, it imprisons the mind to accept that linear time has no underlying waves of evolution, and simply stagnates our race to be confined in a trap of illusion to time and matter.
Allow me for a moment to debunk this myth, and show a special connection to today's Friday the 13th of the Gregorian Calendar to the sacred Mayan Calendar, the Tzolkin's date of 1 Cimi, or 1 Death. I would also like to mention the effects that recognizing the superstition has on separating the Devine Feminine energy from our world. I can't imagine any of my gal friends believing that female energy is disrupted by a silly superstition, but it is something I truly believe. (I also believe zero of my gal friends read this blog.)
Today's glyph in the Tzolkin Cycle is Cimi or death and it happens to be the first day of the 13 count trecena. This might not make much sense to those unfamiliar with the sacred Mayan calendar, but it does not matter. For a great resource and to calculate you birth glyph and trecena number, this is a great site here. Cimi is a special glyph and the people who I know in my life that are Cimi's are very intriguing, mysterious, special and downright cool. It means Death, but death to us was much different than death to the Mayans and ancients of the East. Death is the end of a cycle, a beginning to the unknown. Those born on this glyph were thought to posses a special energy of mystique and often became mid wives or shamans. Cimi meant "Closed in Death" in the ancient text, and because today it falls on the 1st day of the 13 day trecena, a good astrological forecast of the Mayan calendar would be to let go of the things we cannot control, things like death, and embrace the change into a new realm of thought and ideas. There was no need for the Mayans to fear death, they embraced it, and the transition it would lead to their souls. They did not grasp to the thought of holding onto life of their bodies, crops, ideas about wealth or love, and the civilization they built on the calendar proves that.
Do not let the spooky movies or ingrained thoughts from the patriarchal Vatican tether your plans of Friday the 13th. Let go, move on, change, and grow today, with Cimi as your guide to a new light.
I will continue to offer more light on the execution of the divine feminine from the patrarcical society we live in articles to come, but because today is special to us trapped in a Gregorian calendar, I'll make a brief take on the number 13 and how it is used to destroy the female energy in which it represents. The 13 cycle lunar calendar that ancients followed in accord with a solar agricultural cycle appears over and over again to today's archaeologist. The star gazers of Neolithic Stonehenge were obsessed with the 13 times per year between full moons, which correlated exactly to the same amount of time between menstrual cycles of females. The Sun has been regarded as the masculine archetype, the moon as the feminine. From around 2000 BC until today, the lunar (and therefore feminine) aspect of spirituality has been systematically destroyed. Calendars arose honoring the Sun, the masculine, and as I will explain later, even became a solar abstraction enslaving our consciousness to the illusion of time. Author Robin Heath tells in Sun, Moon and Stonehenge the fairy tale of Sleeping Beauty, originally called Briar Rose. In the tale, the king plans to invite 13 wise women from the land to celebrate the birth of his daughter. He only has twelve golden plates, and when the 13th wise woman appears, she is super duper mad. She curses the king and his court sending them to a long and deep sleep. The story offers a "Prophetic warning of what automatically will happen when the feminine, and hence lunar, qualities are neglected." 12(months relate to solar masculinity, 13 is "Very much connected to the moon and hence to matters matriarchal and the old Goddess religions." This cutting off of the feminine qualities of spirituality begot witch hunts and continues today in our modern times. Over and over again, the Solar aspect of 12 defiles the sacred number 13 from everything to being unlucky day, to not having a 13th floor in our modern rational world skyscrapers. Sorry that this is so wild, but do you see what I'm getting at? Defaming 13 = destruction of the power of the sacred feminine. I can go on and on, and believe me, I will soon. By a collective consciousness giving Friday the 13th the power of doom and unluckiness, you give power to the MAN and take from the woman. Fuck the MAN!
