Today, we greet another magical Friday the 13th. This is a date long misunderstood, wrapped in superstition and fear. However, the truth is that this day was once revered as a powerful celebration of the Divine Feminine... of lunar wisdom, sacred cycles, intuition, and inner knowing. (Read more of my thoughts on this day here and here.)
In a world that feels increasingly divided, heavy, and disconnected… we are being called back into balance. I know so many people in my Country are craving unity, and the Earth is crying out for restoration. Beloved, it begins with us - in our homes, hearts, and relationships.
Friday the 13th is not a curse... It’s a blessing.
It's a portal.
It's a powerful pause.
It’s a chance to reclaim softness without weakness. To choose compassion without collapsing. To honor the feminine energies of nurturing, collaboration, intuition, and healing, in ALL beings.
Let’s rewrite the narrative around this day together.
Here are ways you can honor the sacredness of Friday the 13th:
Light a Candle for Balance
Choose two candles - one representing the masculine (sun/fire) and one the feminine (moon/water). As you light them, set an intention to bring harmony into your own being and your relationships.
Create a Divine Feminine Altar
Gather symbols of softness and strength: flowers, shells, moonstones, images of women you admire, or items from nature. Let this be a visual prayer for healing.
Have a Sacred Conversation at Home
Invite your family or close circle to talk about what balance means. Ask questions like: How can each of us honor both strength and softness, structure and flow, action and rest?
Play Music that Heals
Curate a playlist of songs by women who inspire you. Let their voices guide you back to your heart and your power. (Need ideas? I’ve got a list!)
Write a Love Letter to the Feminine
In yourself, in your lineage, in your community. What do you want to honor, reclaim, or heal?
Connect with the Moon Tonight
Even if you can't see her, the moon is always with us. Step outside, close your eyes, and breathe. Ask what she wants you to remember today. Scroll through the blog and invest time preparing one of the sacred rituals...
Beloved, healing starts with us.
We don’t have to wait for the world to change.
We are the ones who start the ripple.
When we reclaim the sacred, we change the narrative.
So today, on this beautiful Friday the 13th, let’s soften.
Let’s remember.
Let’s heal.
Let’s call in wholeness for ourselves, our homes, and the collective.
Blessed Friday the 13th, Sacred One.
May your day be full of love, ritual, and remembrance.
Wrapping you in so much love,
D
