Every now and again, a Friday happens to be day 13 of any given month. Friggatriskaidekaphobia is what it is called when somebody is really scared of the day, although there isn’t a reason for the fear to exist. Black cats might scratch you or shed on your carpet but are harmless other than that. You will find a lot of people who sincerely believe in numerous superstitions. The word for being scared of Friday the 13th is Friggatriskaidekaphobia. Saying Jason Voorhees in the mirror three times won’t bring a fictional character into your home.
What are we talking about again?
You say the word “fri-gah-tri-sk-eye-de-kah-fo-bia.” Being scared of Friday the thirteenth is called Portmanteau. Triskaidekaphobia is the fear of the number 13, and friggaphobia is the fear of Friday. Put them together and also you have Friggatriskaidekaphobia. Witches and Friday go together. The German/Norse goddess Frigga, or Freya, got the day of the week named for her, as Freya-day. The day arguably could possibly be associated with witches simply because it was named for a female deity, but sexism within the ancient world is a topic for an additional time. Triskaidekaphobia is what we call someone scared of thirteen. The word “tri” is the number three, “deka” is 10, you get the idea.
Does anything happen on Friday the 13th?
The short is no. No would be the long answer too. Nothing has ever been seen happening on Friday the thirteenth that was out of place, besides all the friggatriskaidekaphobia, or individuals getting the “heebie-jeebies”. If anything were actually to happen on Friday the thirteenth, somebody would have noticed by now and written it down. Even if there were more accidents happening Friday the thirteenth, more factors would have to be accounted for besides the day like the fact that more individuals like to drink on Fridays.
Making the day with no meaning have a little bit of fun
Superstitions like Friggatriskaidekaphobia are harmless. There are nevertheless superstitions that exist as tradition today. Because theaters don’t want to be cursed, they refer to “MacBeth” as “the Scottish play” since it is supposed to be a cursed play. Watch a scary movie with your family or friends, and use this as an excuse to have some fun. You may want to make an effort to keep away from Crystal Lake though.
