Friday the 13th

Paraskevidekatriaphobia has developed over the last two centuries, but has not been directly connected to any particular origin. Those who feel that Fridays are not lucky and 13 is unlucky have deemed Friday the 13th a particularly bad day, while others look at it as a day of good fortune.

Were the knights templar killed on Friday the 13th?

Asked by Wiki User

The Poor Fellow-Soldiers of the Temple of Solomon or The Knights Templar, were a militant branch of the clergy, tasked with support and protection of Christian pilgrims in the Holy land during the crusades. They were also the Bankers for said pilgrims, having a system where one could deposit funds with one group of Templars and withdraw those funds (less a handling fee) from any other group of Templars. The Templars gained wealth as the Church showered blessings and money on the order; but with the wealth came power and stories of corruption. The French monarch King Phillip IV and Pope Clement V together set up an elaborate plan to completely destroy the Templars, sending out secret, sealed orders across Christendom to be opened and immediately acted upon at a set date. It is said that the date was believed to be Friday the 13th. On 13 October 1307, Philip IV ordered the arrest of the entire order of Knights Templar in France, and had their possessions confiscated. This act served as one of several origins of the superstition which regards Friday the 13th as an unlucky day. Those member who were not killed outright were taken into custody and charged with heresy. They were tortured to obtain confessions of sacrilegious practices, including heresy and witchcraft, and sent to the flames en mass. These admissions were later retracted as being forced admissions. The leader of the Templars, Jacques de Molay, was executed on 18 March 1314, by which time the Templars had been virtually hunted out of existence. Their lands, funds, and other properties reverted to the crown, and some say the king shared these with the church.

Can Friday the 13th fall in consecutive months?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It last happened in 1998. The only time this phenomenon can ever occur is in a February-March pairing in a non-leap year. Calendars repeat themselves in intervals of 6, 11, 12, and 28 years; 2009 and 1998 happen to match up in an 11-year cycle. However, even not knowing that you can use the provided virtual calendar website to step back through the years to manually determine the most-recently occurring instance of this Friday the 13th pairing. Just use the navigation links to go back or forward in time.

Incidentally, it will happen again in 2015.

Because that is the date when Jason Vorhees died and became evil in the movie / show series, "Friday the 13th". So I guess people are just scared of the day which is why they believe it to be bad luck.

Fear of Friday the thirteenth?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

According to some experts, the belief that Friday the 13th is a particularly unlucky day is a modern amalgamation of two older superstitions: that thirteen is an unlucky number and that Friday is an unlucky day. It is not an ancient superstition, and it does not refer to any particular historical Friday the 13th. In numerology, the number twelve is considered the number of completeness, as reflected in the twelve months of the year, twelve signs of the zodiac, twelve hours of the clock, twelve tribes of Israel, twelve Apostles of Jesus, twelve gods of Olympus, etc. Whereas the number thirteen was considered irregular, transgressing this completeness. There is also a superstition, thought by some to derive from the Last Supper or a Norse myth, that having thirteen people seated at a table will result in the death of one of the diners. Friday has been considered an unlucky day at least since the 14th century's The Canterbury Tales, and many other professions have regarded Friday as an unlucky day to undertake journeys or begin new projects. Black Friday has been associated with stock market crashes and other disasters since the 1800s. Despite the reputation of the two separated elements, there is no evidence for a "Friday the 13th" superstition before the 19th century, and folklore historians state that Friday the 13th was a convergence of the superstitions about "Friday" and "13". The earliest known reference in English occurs in an 1869 biography of Gioachino Rossini: [Rossini] was surrounded to the last by admiring and affectionate friends; and if it be true that, like so many other Italians, he regarded Friday as an unlucky day, and thirteen as an unlucky number, it is remarkable that on Friday, the 13th of November, he died. Though the superstition developed relatively recently, much older origins are often claimed for it, most notably in the 2003 novel The Da Vinci Code, which declares that the superstition began with the arrest of the Knights Templar on Friday 13 October 1307. This is a modern-day invention. As discussed in one serious account: No one has been able to document the existence of such beliefs prior to the 19th century. If people who lived before the late 1800s perceived Friday the 13th as a day of special misfortune, no evidence has been found to prove it. As a result, some scholars are now convinced the stigma is a thoroughly modern phenomenon exacerbated by 20th-century media hype. Going back a hundred years, Friday the 13th doesn't even merit a mention in E. Cobham Brewer's voluminous 1898 edition of the Dictionary of Phrase and Fable, though one does find entries for "Friday, an Unlucky Day" and "Thirteen Unlucky." When the date of ill fate finally does make an appearance in later editions of the text, it is without extravagant claims as to the superstition's historicity or longevity.

No. 13 is actually the "traditional" number of the members of a coven. Also Friday is named after the Goddess Fria. Though there are exceptions to this, many Witches actually don't believe in bad-luck, but rather follow the belief in Karmatic principles.

What is the myth of the 13Th floor?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The Number Thirteen is considered very unlucky, mostly in the US. Many buildings won't have a thirteenth floor and will skip to 14. Like this, 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 14. Also, never change your bed on Friday's, it will bring you bad dreams. If you have thirteen letters in your name you will have Devil's Luck. ( Example: Jack the Ripper )

Is Friday the thirteenth really just a superstision?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes. Think of the many bad things that have happened to you and in history. Very few were on a Friday the 13th. Bad things can happen on any date. Think of all of the Friday the 13ths you have lived through. How many of them have just been very ordinary normal days? The vast majority of them. A Friday the 13th is no worse or better than any other day and date.

How can you summon a spirit?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

You can perform a Seance to communicate with the ghost, which basically means you have to have the ability of Necromancy.

Answer

First we have to establish just what a ghost is. Would it surprised you to know that there are a number of ghosts who appear in different forms. Let us first discuss the ghost which Satan conjures up. These are evil spirits which enter the body of a person who desires to serve Satan. Their bodies may be inhabited by the spirit of an evil spirit who resides with Satan.
Others are Ghost or spirits who are worthy people who have passed on, but are given some assignment to visit the earth, either to do the will of their father in Heaven by causing some calamity to warn the people, or who are to give some message to some living person.
There are three ways in which you can tell where these ghosts come from. A ghost, if from Satan, when asked to shake their hand your hand will pass through theirs. A righteous ghost will refuse but give their massage, while the other will be a resurrected being and so you will feel their hand.
Spirits can be asked to visit with you if your reason warrents it and God or Satan sanction it.


Another Answer:

Within the depths of our minds are all the spirits one could wish for. They are the archetypes that represent various desires, fears and actions. One can use a black mirror in the dark to distort ones reflection into becoming one of these archetype spirits.
