when words fail me, which is often, I paint. When words work for me and are available on time, I am surprised.

Pagan Holy Day

Friday: Viernes(Sp.)- the day of the week attributed and dedicated to the Goddess Venus- the Goddess of love and beauty.
13: The kabbalistic numeral representing the fool moon, or full moon, whatever you want to call it. 13 is also the tarot equivalent to Scorpio and Death, which is also rebirth. Death of the old ways brings birth to the new, whether through thought, action or physical death and renewal. The Day of the dead is in the realm of Scorpio, where the veils of the here and there come down.
Naughty sexy goddess, on the intensity of rebirth and intuition and the luna-see of the fool moon. What's so darned unlucky about this Friday the thirteenth? Nothing you prude, go out and have some fun. Please do not throw salt over your left shoulder. The left side is associated with the yin, intuitive and feminine aspects. To throw salt over the left shoulder is a practice derived from the Judeo-Christian fears of sensuality and the feminine aspects. One is literally throwing salt in the eyes of the Goddess when doing so; salt of the Earth(masculine)
Arrrghhh!
