Pagan Holiday for November 13th, 2009

 

Friday, November 13th, 2009

 

Whoo hoo!!!! It’s Friday the 13th!

 

Friday belongs to Frigga or Venus—Goddess of love and transformation.

Friday is a great day to deal with matters or magical workings concerning:

Family life, friendship, growth, harmony, love, romance, passion.

Friday belongs to the planet Venus and the element of fire.

 

November 13th is the day of:

The Roman festival of Epulum Jovis

also…

Rome celebrated a festival honoring Feronia on this day as well.

~~

Egyptians honor Isis again today.

&

the Runic half month of Nyd begins.

 

 

Lots Going on in Rome Today!

 

 

Today they would hold a Festival of Epulum Jovis which was a formal banquet in Capitola where the members of the Senate and Magistrates of Rome would attend.  The banquet was in honor of Jupiter, Juno, & Minerva.

Now while they were doing that, there was another festival going on that honored Feronia. She just happens to be the Goddess of flowers and of the pleasures of youth.

Now if you lived in Rome and wanted to drop off an offering of flowers and the seasons first fruits for Feronia, you would simple trot on over the the foot of Mount Soracte in Etruria because that’s where it was.

 

Today in Egypt, we are not done with Isis yet!

Now remember Isis started her journey yesterday searching for the body of her brother/husband Osiris. Well, today, we give Isis the chance to mourn and grieve for him.

 

 

Runes, Runes, Runes!

 

Today begins the Runic half month of Nyd. That means, we need to get it together and do our Winter preparations.

 

 

Well folks, that’s it for today. I was too lazy to grab links for further reading because I have a kid that was up all night sick. So, with that being said…my lazy ol’ butt leaves with all of the above—wishing you a fabulous Friday the 13th!
