The Magic of Friday the 13th

friday 13thToday is Friday the 13th and a Full Moon!

You will hear most everyone today talking about their fears and how they dread Friday the 13th … add the Full Moon on top of it and people go frantic! I’ll just stand to the side and shake my head. What is there to fear? Do any of them have a legitimate reason to be afraid of the number 13? How about the moon? Do they really have reason to fear the moon?

Let start with the moon… particularly the full moon because that is the moon most feared. What does the Full Moon actually do? Well from where I stood on my deck last night, it provided a glowing light in what could have been a very dark place. We will leave out the magical parts because “most” don’t understand that anyway… they are just afraid of a large mass in the night sky that is turned in such a way that it reflects the most sunlight it possibly can on it’s surface for the month.  Yep… real scary! Run for your lives!

Now lets look at the number 13. There are a lot of stories from olden times that contribute to the superstitions but that was the past. It already happened and for whoever it effected back then.. yep that was pretty unlucky but the number itself wasn’t the cause of the bad luck.. the cause was created by the people who committed the violent acts.

Number 13 = made from the number 1 which is a symbol of new beginnings and the number 3 which symbolizes creativity, communication, compassion and manifestation. Wow when you break it down, the number 13 looks pretty darn amazing!

So tell me now…. what is there to fear?

Here’s a bit magic I found today, on Friday the 13th with the full moon overhead:

I’ve been outside singing to the fairies this morning hunting four leaf clovers and taking photos in the rain…  Most will just want to stay inside when it rains, saying how yucky it is … but me… I think the rain is beautiful! I found 16 four leaf clovers this morning and captured some beautiful pictures with my camera. Have a look at the rain that everyone else avoided. (click on the gallery for best viewing)

Missing Details

4 leaf cloverOkay, so here’s a little lesson learned for me today!

I am taking in the morning as I step outside the back door of the office and notice the clover are growing really tall. A four leaf clover stands out there all on it’s own waving hello to me. I, with my camera in hand, focus upon the clover and take a couple of good shots. I then reach down and pull up the clover to add to my collection and continue to search to see if I can find any more. I ended up finding 12 more four leaf clovers. I go back inside … sit down at my computer and reach around to take the sd card from my camera to download the photos. Heavy sigh…. the sd card is already in my computer… meaning that  it was never even in my camera and that photo opp with the four leaf clover that I already plucked from the Earth is now gone!

Had I paid better attention to the finer details … I wouldn’t have had to go back out in search of another clover. You see, every time I snapped a photo a little message popped up on the screen telling me no card was inside… but me being so focused on the four leaf clover and what I would blog about to use it as the main subject…. I didn’t even “SEE” that message!

Sometimes we cause ourselves extra work simply because we didn’t take the time to check ALL the details.
