Friday the 13th is considered the unluckiest day of the year with many believing it to bring an abundance of misfortune.
The history of superstition surrounding it has been long-standing and believed to have originated from the story of the Last Supper, which saw Judas Iscariot – known to be Jesus’ betrayer – the 13th person to join Christ and his disciples at the table.
Fear of Friday 13th can also be traced back to King Philip IV of France arresting hundreds of Knights Templar on in the 13th day in October 1307.
An important milestone in the history of the Friday the 13th legend in particular (not just the number 13) occurred in 1907, with the publication of the novel Friday, the Thirteenth written by Thomas William Lawson.
The book told the story of a stockbroker who plays on superstitions about the date to create chaos on Wall Street, and make a killing on the market.
The horror movie Friday the 13th, released in 1980, introduced the world to a hockey mask-wearing killer named Jason, and is perhaps the best-known example of the famous superstition in pop culture history. The movie spawned multiple sequels, as well as comic books, novellas, video games, related merchandise and countless terrifying costumes.
Use these witch life hacks to keep your Friday the Thirteenth interesting:
(THIS LIST IS LAUGHABLE AND PURELY JUST FOR FUN!)
1. Before taking fashion risks, eat red meat rare and howl at the moon the day before.
2. To predict whether or not you’ll make your appointment, cuddle a cat and see how it reacts. If it squirms, you’ll be late. If it purrs, you’re good.
3. When faced with a difficult decision, rip up a tissue and throw the scraps high in the air. The time they take to fall to the ground is the time you have to complete your decision.
4. To ensure your plane arrives or leaves on time, buy a drink when you get to the airport. Seltzer or cocktail, it makes no difference, as long as it comes in a cold glass. Take a napkin and rip it into five strips and arrange it around your drink like a pentagon. Whisper your arrival time into your drink, toast whomever sold you the beverage, and take a sip.
5. For shopping success, bow slightly to every mannequin to ensure your clothes look as nice at home as they do in the store.
6. To ensure 100% book satisfaction, hold books close to your ears to see if they make any noise. Read only the ones that do.
7. If stuck in a waiting room, open a magazine to seven random pages and blindly point around each page for seven random words. This is your command to follow for the day.
8. For dinner parties, avoid mirrors on days you have a friends over, and they will help clean up after.
9. To get her back for what she said last time, think bad thoughts every time you smile at your frenemy to leave her slightly discomfited without knowing why.
10. Write a list of reasons why you and your partner should get a pet, then paint white over it and use the paper to make their birthday card.
11. Place your warm coffee cup against your forehead and think of volcanoes so that it stays nice and warm the whole time you drink.
12. Whisper good things about yourself over each ingredient as you bake a cake for your boss to ensure that promotion.
13. On Friday the 13th, print out this list and reread on days of strife. Every numbered item will change except this one.
