Friday the 13th it is! These are few and far between but I think I’d like to keep it that way. In honor of this freaky day I’d like to bring you ~ Fun Freaky Finds for Freaky Feature Friday! Did you get all that? Unusual items and maybe even a little spooky!
Friday the Thirteenth is known to those superstition types to be a day of bad luck. There are many notions as to how the 13th became so freaky ranging from old calendars to witchcraft. Some believe in numerology where the number twelve is considered the number of completeness. This is shown to be true by the twelve months of the year, twelve signs of the Zodiac, twelve hours on a clock, and even twelve Apostles of Jesus. This makes the number thirteen irregular. Other opinions are that Jesus died on a Friday and their were thirteen people at the Last Supper. As taken from Wikipedia:
The actual origin of the superstition, though, appears also to be a tale in Norse mythology. Friday is named for Frigga, the free-spirited goddess of love and fertility. When Norse and Germanic tribes converted to Christianity, Frigga was banished in shame to a mountaintop and labeled a witch. It was believed that every Friday, the spiteful goddess convened a meeting with eleven other witches, plus the devil — a gathering of thirteen — and plotted ill turns of fate for the coming week. For many centuries in Scandinavia, Friday was known as “Witches’ Sabbath.”[11]
Now, I’m not going to argue where it originated from but, I can tell you that Wikipedia also states that between 17 and 21 million people in the US are affected by this day. Whether they change daily routines, avoid taking flights, or just don’t get out of bed all together (my vote, just to sleep in) people are afraid that bad things are likely to happen to them on this day.
It is even estimated that between $800-$900 million is lost on this day! WOW!! Now that I would say…is Scary. You’re shopping doesn’t have to end however, if you are superstitious there is always the ‘bookmark tab’ to save your finds and come back Saturday morning and make your purchases then. Problem Solved!
Our items might not be Halloween Scary but, I think they are odd and unusual… a few maybe just not something you’d look for or even come across often.
