Hello, ghouls of the underworld! đź‘»
Today is Friday and Rebecca Black surely knows it, as do we all. But so does my buddy Jason, hehe.
There are many reasons people consider Friday the 13th unlucky. Some say it’s because Judas was the thirteenth guest at the Last Supper (if Jesus is your jam, by the way, I’ve got a few posts about him from Holy Week to his birth and life, just saying).
Others claim one of the Templars cursed this day, since it was when their order was arrested for their supposed “little felonies.” Ever since, the day’s had a bit of a dark shadow. (If you’re into that lore, I also wrote a piece about the Templars, Levi, Crowley and Baphomet, check it out 👀).
As for me? I don’t know, I just hope I don’t run into Jason Voorhees and his humongous machete, or end up as the thirteenth guest anywhere. No offense to Jesus, of course. I just try to make the best of what I have and stay open to good things.
It’s also a funny time (the day before Valentine’s) when the pressure of romance and commercial expectations can make people feel weird. But really, don’t sweat it. Love day is a recent tradition anyway. What matters most is spending time, with ourselves or our loved ones, and making the day ours.
So whether that means cooking that special meal you’ve been postponing, baking that sweet treat you’ve been craving, or simply resting in good company, treat yourself kindly.
Maybe I am a little cheesy: just a simple woman trying to bake something delicious, decompress, and chill with her favorite people.
Wishing you the best and all the warmth in the world. Stay safe and sane. Goodness knows we all need that more than ever.
Godspeed
