[dumbasspersonalitydisorder]

the fuckteenth is a beautiful concept but unfortunately false; october 13, 1307 is the date the king of france ordered the deaths of the knights templar so he could erase his debt (they were western europe's bank) and it was a friday

Is it true that Friday the 13th was a celebration for Freyja before the Christians started associating it with Satan?

So Friday the 13th wasn't really a thing until the 19th century, and it happened just because both Friday and 13 were considered unlucky.

So no.

Drawing Norse connections here is tenuous. There is a story involving Loki that some use to theorize as a reason that 13 might be unlucky -- but that's just a hypothesis, with no more weight than the one that suggests it's unlucky because of Judas being the 13th guest at the last supper.

Which considering how widespread the idea that the number 13 being unlucky is, the Norse origin seems even less likely. And Friday in English is named for Frigg, not Freyja. Some argue that they're the same goddess, but that's not commonly agreed on. In any case, Friday in other languages in cultures that also see Friday the 13th as unlucky have completely unrelated root words.

And frankly that's not even tackling the subject of what calendar pre-Christian Norse and Germanic tribes were using in the first place.

This is one of those "Neopagans want to feel persecuted" stories that's been around for a long time, but has less support than a a cooked spaghetti bridge.

20 Fanfic Author Questions

Thank you for the tags, @mobiusismycomfortcharacter, @loki-is-my-kink-awakening, and @andthekitchensinkao3!

1. How many works on AO3? 133

2. Total AO3 Word Count? 599,669 words

3. Top 5 fics by Word Count

I didn’t want to answer by kudos because apparently some people twist themselves into knots to justify not leaving kudos.

Happiness is a Long Shot (YGO DM)

76,801 words Bakura Ryou/Marik Ishtar, Yami Bakura/Marik Ishtar, Bakura Ryou/Yami Marik, Bakura Ryou/Yami Bakura, Bakura Ryou/Yami Bakura/Marik Ishtar, Yami Bakura/Yami Marik, Bakura Ryou/Yami Bakura/Marik Ishtar/Yami Marik, Marik Ishtar/Yami Marik, Bakura Ryou/Marik Ishtar/Yami Marik, Bakura Ryou/Yami Bakura/Yami Malik, Yami Bakura/Marik Ishtar/Yami Marik Rated E Darkness spreads across the stone, bound by the candlelight. The veil between their world and the Shadow Realm tears quietly until only a column of pitch black indicates their success. Tightening his jaw, Marik thrusts the Millennium Rod into the shadows. The golden scepter disappears into the darkness, a lifeline thrown to the lifeless. Sometimes a long shot is the only shot you have.

I Won’t Lead and You Won’t Follow (Loki (TV 2021))

35,371 words Loki/Mobius M. Mobius Rated E “Not all treasure is silver and gold, mate.” - Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl Mobius M. Mobius, captain of the flagship of the Timely Ventures Association, has been tasked with retrieving the TVA’s treasure. To find it, he recruits the best pirate he knows - the one who has eluded him for years: Captain Loki Laufeyson.

Let Me Drown (Twisted Wonderland)

34,162 words Azul Ashengrotto/Vil Schoenheit, Rook Hunt/Vil Schoenheit, Rook Hunt/Jade Leech Rated M Vil sets his sights on Azul, much to Rook’s and Jade’s and Floyd’s dismay. Things are going wonderfully for the new power couple on campus. Vil has everything he wanted and Azul is feeling confident in a way he’s never felt before. Even Jade and Rook have taken the opportunity to get to know each other better. Everything is perfect. Until it isn’t. Lies don’t make for a solid foundation for a relationship, after all.

It’s a Love Story (Loki (TV 2021))

28,555 words Loki/Mobius M. Mobius Rated E It’s a love story: a story about Loki learning to love himself, to love Mobius, and to believe himself worthy of being loved by Mobius in return. “Is that going to be a problem, Father Laufeyson? That I’m gay?” The question was an obvious one; not even all of his own parish had accepted the Church’s revised approach to homosexuality. Most assumed anyone within the Church, especially those in the priesthood, felt the same. The response fell easily from Loki’s tongue. Words he’d heard himself all his life. Words he’d told himself in his most self-loathing moments. “God loves all His children.” A new reverend, a Father Mobius, comes to town and upends everything Father Laufeyson believes about himself.

Dirty Sexy Money (YGO DM)

25,146 words Yami Bakura/Marik Ishtar, Bakura Ryou/Yami Marik, Rishid Ishtar | Odion Ishtar/Kujaku Mai | Mai Valentine Rated E The Ishtar brothers run Domino’s most exclusive strip club, Min Saboten. When the Bakura brothers come for amateur night - one to dance and one to thieve - they end up finding themselves in debt to the Ishtars. Having no choice but to work for the Ishtars, will Ryou and Bakura break under the pressure? Or will they flourish in the seedy side of Domino - and maybe find love too? (Part of the 2018 YGO Big Bang Challenge)

4. What fandoms do you write for? Final Fantasy XV (49); Loki (TV 2021) (40); Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters (Anime & Manga) (28); Yu-Gi-Oh! Series (26); Marvel Cinematic Universe (13); The Avengers (Marvel Movies) (6); Marvel (6); Black Veil Brides (Band) (3); Thor (Movies) (3); Twisted-Wonderland (Video Game) (2); Yu-Gi-Oh the Abridged Series (2); Deadpool (Movieverse) (1); Real Person Fiction (1); Kuroshitsuji | Black Butler (1); Iron Man (Movies) (1); Wretched and Divine: The Story of the Wild Ones - Black Veil Brides (Album) (1)

5. Do you respond to comments? Yes, though sometimes I slack off and can be very delayed in my replies!

6. Angstiest Ending? Probably I Can’t Fight This Feeling Anymore because to quote Schmendrick: “There are no happy endings because nothing ends.”

7. Fic with the Happiest Ending? Maybe Love Me As I Am?

8. Do you get hate? Once! Because I watched the English dub of an anime which uses male pronouns for a character. The only source for fan-knowledge of this same character being trans is one interview with the creator in a language I don’t speak. So because it was how I consumed the source material, I used male pronouns for that character, tagged it, and warned in the author’s note to be safe. And I still got hate for erasing a trans character. This is where my “Want me to write in the way you specifically want? Pay me and you cannot afford me.” stance arises.

9. Do you write smut? When do I not?

10. Do you write crossovers? No but I have roleplayed them.

11. Ever had a fic stolen? Yesssssss. Budapest Dance was reposted on Wattpad in January 2018 without my permission. Do you know how heartbreaking it was to see people leaving whatever passes for kudos on Wattpad and lovely comments on MY fic when I had a total of TWO comments on my AO3 post at the time? This person had copied a bunch of MCU fics and reposted them to Wattpad without permission. I commented and said I didn’t give permission for them to repost my work and was told I should be “flattered” that my fic was worthy of being stolen. So. I reported them to Wattpad, sourced all the original fics, let those authors know that their fics had also been stolen and told them how to report if they wanted, and got the account banned from Wattpad.

12. Have you ever had a fic translated? No and no one’s ever asked.

13. Have you ever co-written a fic? No. I talked about it with someone once but it never panned out. I’ve always been more inclined to just roleplay, I guess.

14. All time favourite ship? I refuse to pick. My top five ships by number of fics: Loki/Mobius M. Mobius (32); Gladiolus Amicitia/Ignis Scientia (18); Yami Bakura/Marik Ishtar (17); Noctis Lucis Caelum/Ignis Scientia (14); Bakura Ryou/Yami Marik (10)

15. WIPs you want to finish but doubt you ever will? Oh. Absolute, my Loki Season 2 fic. Wretched Divinity, because it’s been so long and honestly, I’m halfway thinking of filing off the serial numbers on that one and reworking it.

16. Writing strengths? Making people cry.

17. Writing Weaknesses? Writing things people want to read.

18. Thoughts on mixed language dialogue? I don’t quite know what this means.

19. First fandom you wrote for? The first one I posted to AO3 was MCU (Clintasha). The first one I ever tried my hand at was Gundam Wing.

20. Favourite fic you’ve ever written? Another hard choice! I mean, I’ve been posting on AO3 for almost 13 years.

I’m going with the following:

It’s a Love Story (linked above) because I went into a trance writing it and, based on the comments, it has meant so much to others.

Relativity because I do love writing things from Loki’s POV and it was a challenge to write a chapter weekly without writing myself into a corner as the Loki Season 1 episodes came out.

Beltane’s Fires because I loved the world building I did with that one.

Tagging @seaofolives @hauntedcoyote and anyone else who wants to complete this one!

Jersey Devil - Day 64

Race: Wilder

Alignment: Dark-Neutral

JULY THE FOURTH WHAT THE FUCK IS A KILOMETER RAHHH 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🦅🦅🔥, 2024

Happy Fourth of July, everybody! The day we get to celebrate imperialism and colonialism! In celebration of this day of fireworks and an utter lack of sleep, why not have an American demon of the day? Today, we're taking a close look at another cryptid, and another one near and dear to my heart- a creature so bizarre that it makes anybody's possible sightings of it feel like fairy tales, and a cryptid that truly embodies the idea of cryptozoology just being modern mythology. Today's Demon of the Day is none other than the Jersey Devil!

A lot has been said about this bizarre creature, a cryptid so esoteric yet infamous that even finding a common consensus on how it looks is difficult- most descriptions depict it as a bipedal creature with hooves and bat-wings, most commonly with a goat or horse's head, but most of the time it's seen as a 'you know it when you see it' kind of deal. This bizarre appearance adds on to just how strange the Jersey Devil is in-and-of-itself, however, and in order to get into that, we need to explore its folklore.

And how strange that folklore is. As the most common backstory goes, the Jersey Devil originated as the child of one "Mrs. Leeds," a woman who was distraught about having so many children. Having given birth to twelve, she cried before her thirteenth, "Let it be the devil!" Just as it was conceived, her thirteenth child came out not as a human, but instead a small, inhuman demon who promptly spread its wings and flew out of the hospital. Since then, several stories have circulated about the devil, whether it be sightings, raidings, or attacks from it in the dead of night. Even today, in spite of this myth originating in 1909, and the supposed birth of the devil being during 1735, belief in this cryptid is still prevalent throughout New Jersey.

Something that stuck out to me, however, is the prevalence of the number 13. In a lot of western culture, 13 is considered an unlucky number- there's a reason that Friday the 13th is seen as an unlucky day, after all, and it's commonly believed that it all originates from, what else, but Christianity. As a commonly cited tale goes, the reasoning for the association with 13 and bad luck has to do with the last supper in the Bible, wherein Judas was the thirteenth to arrive at the dinner table, and this was also the case in Norse mythology, wherein Loki is the thirteenth guest to arrive at the banquets of the Æsir. This, alongside the fact that the Jersey Devil was the thirteenth child of Mrs. Leeds, gives light to the idea that it was born of, quite literally, the devil's luck.

Now then, in SMT, there're not many appearances of the Jersey Devil, but the few we have do give it a nice look. While its appearance is the same as usual for most depictions of the Devil, I feel like the odd, almost horror-like artstyle used by the artist makes it look just as surreal as it should be for such a strange story. It's a shame that it's so uncommon in the series, only appearing in Soul Hackers!

Have a good fourth of July everyone, and remember, keep your burgers safe, or else the Jersey Devil might come down and swoop them up!

Friday the 13th

I wouldn't be much of a blog about folklore and superstition if I didn't take Friday the 13th into account, now would I? I also wouldn't be much of a tumblr blog if I didn't acknowledge one of tumblr's mini-holidays. So what makes Friday, especially the 13th one, so special and just how did it all get started?

Let's start with the number 13 since that's fish in a barrel. Or is it? For instance a lot of us were always taught that the number thirteen was considered unlucky because that's the number of disciples that sat down with Jesus for his Last Supper and obviously that didn't end well. In fact, in Victorian times, having thirteen dinner guests was believed to be courting death for you or someone else at the table.

On an interesting aside note, there was apparently a club in the late 1800s, started by a man named William Fowler that used to meet for dinner on the 13th night of every month to sit down to a thirteen course meal in room number 13 of the club Fowler owned. After they walked underneath a ladder to get to the table of course. Four US presidents, including our hearty Teddy R, were members at one time or another. The club was simply called, what else? The Thirteen Club.

There might be more to the number thirteen's public image than just a divine dinner gone horribly wrong however. Or - more than one divine dinner gone horribly wrong. Tradition has it that in Norse mythology, Loki became the thirteenth dinner guest to show up at the feast where he would then go on to trick Baldr's blind brother Hodr into killing him. Baldr's death was seen as the beginning of the end for the Norse gods.

Thirteen is also the victim of being the sibling immediately following the 'golden child' of numbers, 12. In some circles, the number 12 is considered the perfect number. There were 12 loyal disciples of Jesus, 12 tribes of Israel, 12 gods of Olympus, 12 labors of Hercules and 12 months in a year. What can you be after following such sheer popularity but unpopular?

The Code of Hammurabi, the oldest recorded set of laws, skips law number 13. Most historians chalk that up to clerical error but its enough to make others speculate.

Friday though is usually seen as a good thing, at least in our modern world where it marks the last day of work before a weekend of freedom for both workers and school children. There's even a chain restaurant named TGIF, the positivity associated with Friday is so ingrained. Friday, going back to our Norse myths, was also considered 'Frigga's day', an extremely lucky day to get married on since it was the day dedicated to the goddess of homes and families. By itself, Friday seems a perfectly fine day, even one with good associations.

Slip it back just a bit however and we're right back to the Last Supper and the subsequent 'Good Friday' and a crucifixion. Friday's bad timing doesn't stop there either. In some Christian traditions, Friday is also the day that Adam and Eve ate the fruit that got them booted from Eden; its the day that Cain killed Abel; its the first day of Noah's flood and its also the day the Temple of Solomon fell. None of those have actual dates in the Bible, much less weekdays assigned to them, but the tradition persists. By itself, Friday might squeak by but when you add a 13 on the end, suddenly its not getting off so easily anymore.

What might have helped seal the deal about Friday the 13th, in at least the European conscious , happened in 1307, when King Philip IV of France had the Knights Templar, one of the most powerful, wide-spread and well-known military organizations of the time, rounded up, tortured and put to death. The date? October the 13th.

It was a Friday.

All 20 + the wildcard of “how much of a literature nerd are they” for Loki

( @izunias-meme-hole )

Oh boy you got it! Fun fun here we goooo

1- Favourites thing(s) about this character?

Genderqueer! Parent of fun horrors whom he loves dearly! Mischievous fun! Inspires devoted love in someone (Sigyn) despite being disliked and abandoned by the rest of the world! God of stories meta fun! Trickster with a good heart!

2- What song(s) remind you of this character?

The Poet and the Muse by Old Gods of Asgard! Banger song and changing fate vibes wrapped up in a spooky weird story

3- Do you like this character?

No. I LOVE HIMMMMM

4- Would you write about this character?

Absolutely I do need to don’t I

5- What do you not like about this character?

That media doesn’t often portray him with his kids 😔 also don’t like it as much when he’s portrayed as being too on the evil side, I like him to be sympathetic or at least to have a bit of nuance

6- Favourite thing this character has said?

I’ll go with comics Loki specifically for this one, also I’m cheating and treating an extended monologue as one ‘thing’

7- What do you like most about this character?

TRICKSTER TROPEEEEEEE

8- Do you think this character is underrated or overrated?

Hm idk. All versions of Loki deserve ALL the love and praise and attention. I think comics Loki is decently popular? He is…rated ig lol. Myth Loki tho? Underrated gem

9- What’s your favourite headcanon(s) for this character?

Oh I’m realizing I haven’t actually heard many other people’s headcanons about him. I’ll make one up rn instead hmmm…he plays a musical instrument of some kind, something nice and bard-y that can be sat with and played by a campfire. Guitar? Nonono wait LYRE he plays the lyre get it it’s perfect

10- Who do you like to ship with this character? (If you do of course) Is it another character from the cast or is it an OC?

I’ve never really shipped him with anyone tbh, buddy needs to get himself some friends who love him unconditionally so he has a support system before that happens. I volunteer

11- Who do you not like to ship with this character?

Uhhh hmm idk shipping slips my mind more often than not, I have to be reminded romance can exist lmao but yeah ig I don’t really like shipping marvel him with Sylvie. Or Verity, haven’t seen it but I’m sure people do, for the reasons listed above^ I do adore their friendship tho it is so special to me

12- Have you read any fics about this character? (if it’s not an OC)? Can you recommend anything good?

I HAVENT STILLLLL 😭😭😭 that said if anyone seeing this has one to recommend do share 👀

I still haven’t written for him either 😔 he is in my head constantly tho in many Scenarios they have just not reached the concrete stage

14- What outfit would you really like to see this character wear? Or what’s your favourite outfit of theirs?

Aoa Loki god of stories has always been my favorite look for him but if I had to change anything it would be to add more of the fur, give him some Genesis-level fancy boots, give him longer hair with maybe a little braid or two that he put in there fiddling with his hair while bored, and then unleash him upon the world

15- Favourite line of theirs?

I think this is a duplicate question so I’ll go with a different version of him now, how about Twilight of the Gods Loki? This scene destroyed me

16- What do you think would improve this character? Like, character-arc wise?

I am so so bad at criticism, uhhh in general let him have his kids and let him go a little quirky crazy while still being sympathetic

17- Have you ever had a crush on this character…?

Crush? No. Squish? Yeah. Gender envy? Absolutely all the time

18- What’s something you associate this character with? E.g. a certain colour, object or scenery?

Winter for sure. And campfires. Snowball fights

19- What would the show/book/movie be like if this character wasn’t present? (if it’s not an OC)

:((((( I WOULD CRY. AND IT WOULD HAVE THE LIGHT AND JOY TAKEN OUT OF IT

20- Contrary wise, if this character is an OC, how does their presence change the story?

HIS PRESENCE CATERS TO ME AND MAKES ME HAPPY :) also adds wonderful solace and acceptance and representation of people who like to be a little weird and end up outsiders

Wildcard- how much of a literature nerd are they?

Massive nerd. Literature anarchist, will say anything is literature and he’s right. If he was in a stuffy high literature class in some university he would write his term paper on a comic book or a video game or something, and he constantly references any type of storytelling medium. Can pull references and examples from random stories out of nowhere from the most obscure books/movies/video games/etc

[n-honor-flying-w-u]

*Naenia, "she who harbors death". The meaning of this indicates that she is meant to be the embodiment of death, directly associated with death or her presence itself means nothing good. Vampires are immediately plunged into "a fate worse than death" once she takes their True Names.

-Current malnomen of Queen Faustina. Having a malnomen indicates that she might have been a curse-bearer. Did she show any signs of uncontrollable bloodthirstiness before Ruthven and Co. tried to get rid of her? In that case, has her own True Name been interfered with in some way. If so, who tampered with it? And lastly, will she be cured? It appears to have been centuries since her malnomen manifested.

Faustina is the first vampire of the Crimson Moon, as Luna is the only vampire of the Blue Moon. She is probably - and this is just speculation on my part - as old as the Babel Incident. In other words, thousands of years old, and currently not of sound mind. She is incredibly dangerous, manifesting Chloe's malnomen within seconds. Her curse is something unique we have never seen before. The moment Faustina re-emerges, we see that the vampires are overwhelmed, struggling to stay on her feet because of her power. Or rather, the power of her essence. It was implied in Chapter 13 that her initial body is still in Carbunculus Castle. Is the mysterious entity who stole Luna's True Name the same person who has interfered with Faustina's own? As someone has stated before, they have yet to appear but would have to be extremely powerful. The panel with her and the Shapeless One shows her as an adult vampire, therefore I want to assume that sometime during her reign she became a curse-bearer or was cursed by someone or something before she could no longer appear to the public.

The Shapeless One was noted to be the vampire who stayed longest at her side, serving her. So perhaps he has an idea of what happened to her and the events leading up to it. Additionally, as of the latest chapters, he has a lot of knowledge.

Maybe by the end of the story we will find out what exactly is behind Faustina's curse, what are the events leading up to her becoming Naenia and nearly being assassinated by Ruthven and Company (the Beastias?). And there is another noteworthy point - Noe notes that Faustina and Luna look alike, and why that might be so. This is clearly important - it was done on purpose. The way it's set up, you can tell it's significant.

Afterword: the few people who are aware of the Queen's condition are Ruthven, Beastia Loki, probably Veronica as well, Luca (however a brief amount). I don't think Jeanne is, though.

[bugwolfsstuff]

I’ve always low-key (haha) had the headcanon that Narfi went to Valhalla because he fought back against Vali to try to get him to be sane again and that he’s just on a different floor than Floor 19

This headcanon is also usually accompanied by a scene of Sam and Alex trying to find any other children of Loki in Valhalla to form a support group and finding just this scared like 13 year old carbon copy of Loki who just wants to be left alone

Just thought I’d share bc I saw your trials of Loki au and the angst multiplied

Oooooh i love this!

I usually headcanon that they're either in Helhiem with Hel or (because according to Google Viking bodies were burned to help elevate spirits to their afterlife) their souls are kinda stuck in the chains.

But the amount of angst potential we have with your idea.

Cus Narfi being in Valhalla implies a few things. Either there was some reason a Valkryie at Narfi and Vali's death. Or the Aesir themselves decided to add salt to the wound to Loki because with Narfi being in valhalla means that he's gonna have to be on the other side in Ragnarok.

Also i feel like he'd just hate Sam cus shes a Valkryie. He probably hates all Valkryies with their association to Odin but the fact that one is his sister—his own blood is on the side that tore his family to shreds enrages him. He sees her as a traitor.

Oh and Alex is cool to him I guess lol

Also them trying to tell him that Loki is evil and him not listening to any of it.

Imagine if he joined the wedding crashing in Hammer of Thor. The amount of emotional damage it would cause to almost everyone involved.

The history of Friday The 13th

"The Death of Balder," by Danish painter Christoffer Wilhelm Eckersberg, depicts a scene from Norse mythology. Balder (son of Odin) lies dead after being struck by a mistletoe spear thrown by Hödr, his blind brother. Hödr had been tricked by Loki, who can be seen behind him, stifling his laughter.

-

Friday the 13th has long been considered a day of bad luck, evil omens, and general misfortune in the Western world. Its influence is so widespread that one of the most well-known horror film franchises is named after the ominous day. From Norse mythology to The Canterbury Tales, let's embark on a brief journey to find out what happened to make this day so terrifying.

THE NUMBER 13

In Magic and Superstitions (1968), the author Douglas Hill recounts a Norse myth about the death of Balder. As 12 of the Norse gods host a dinner party in Valhalla, Loki (the god of mischief, trickery, and deception), who was not invited, arrives as the 13th guest. The gods are entertaining themselves by watching Hödr throw various weapons at Baldr, who is impervious to any injury. Balder's mother, the goddess Frigg, had previously made every weapon and object on Earth swear an oath to never hurt her son, after a prophetic dream in which she foresaw his death. She had, however, left out a small tree, the mistletoe, thinking it too young and unimportant for an oath to be demanded of it. Loki, who knew of this weakness, fashioned a spear from the mistletoe tree and tricked the blind Hödr into throwing it at Balder. To the horror of every god present, except for Loki, the mistletoe spear went right through Balder, killing him.

However, in the Prose Edda (the 13th-century Icelandic text considered the most complete source of our current knowledge on Norse mythology), where the story originally appears, no mention is made of either 12 gods being present or Loki being the 13th to arrive.

There are also similar Christian associations to the number 13: the tale of the Last Supper comes to mind, with Judas being thought by many to have been the 13th person to sit at the table. The Bible, however, does not mention the order in which the apostles sat.

FRIDAY AND MISFORTUNE

Friday is considered to be a day of evil portents and misfortune by some historical sources. In A Dictionary of Superstitions (1996), authors Moria Tatem and Iona Opie say Friday was long considered an unlucky day in which one should not begin journeys or start new projects, as evidenced by lines such as "and on a Friday fell all this misfortune" which are present in Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales, written during the late 14th century.

Some have argued, however, that the line actually refers to the irony of the misfortune in question having happened to the protagonist - who is called a devotee of the goddess Venus - on a Friday, the day associated with the goddess in medieval astrology.

FRIDAY THE 13TH

Direct association of Friday and the number 13 seem to have popped up in sources around the mid-1800s, such as in the 1834 play Les Finesses des Gribouilles, in which a character states that being "born on a Friday, December 13th", was the source of all their misfortunes. The association is then popularized through the 20th century, possibly starting with the novel Friday, the Thirteenth (1907) by T. W. Lawson, culminating in the creation of one the most popular horror franchises of all time - Jason's hockey mask becoming one of the most recognizable icons in film and pop culture.

- Opie, I., & Tatem, M. (1996). A Dictionary of Superstitions Hill, D. (1968). Magic and Superstitions Household, P. (2013). I seek unlucky Fridays in Chaucer and find none. Things that have interested me. https://peterhousehold.blogspot.com/2013/01/chaucer.html

[ladynyx-worship]

The reason why I worship or devote the day I choose to Lady Nyx

Thursdays- I was going through the days of the week thinking about which should be spent as a devotional days for her.

I thought Monday meaning moon day was inaccurate while yes the moon is present at night it isn’t always and I thought that day could fit another deity while Lady Nyx worked with another.

Tuesday just didn’t seem like a right fit, I had no other reason but it did not feeling right. Wednesday also didn’t fit her, Wednesday is the middle of the week and just didn’t seem right.

Something was telling me Thursday it was near the end which I felt was fitting, it was also before the last day of the work week which allowed me to look forwards to something.

Friday seemed nice aswell but it’s often associated with scarier things or bad luck during current times, and that day seemed to be more tailored to Aphrodite so I wanted to keep it open for her or Loki.

Saturday just seemed like a wrong fit, something could work better then this day. And Sunday was not chosen because it is meant for the sun, something that ended the night and is more fit for a sun deity.

21- I wanted to give offerings on one day of a month as well for each deity I worship, so I could be put in a routine. I choose the 21st because I was born on the 21st day of a month. Since once I have enough experience I’m going to become a devote of Lady Nyx I thought I should spend a special day to me worshiping her and giving her an offering.

Sorry for the late post I ended up being busy this entire day and just got back on the internet. If your wondering on if I have a offering day to any other deities I do, the 13 for Loki. I still should ask if that’s fine but I think it should be.
