The 13th Day of every month was declared the day
for women all over the world to
celebrate themselves.

Why?

Various sources
suggest
the number 13 was purposely vilified or feared
(triskaidekaphobia) by the founders of patriarchal
religions in the early days of western civilization
because it represented femininity. Under patriarchal
rule, women are controlled, suppressed, exploited
and dehumanized. E.g. using the woman’s body as a
sex object to sell everything from cars, to alcohol, to
shaving cream.

Thirteen had been revered in matrifocial cultures,
allegedly, because it corresponded to the number of
lunar (menstrual) cycles in a year (13 x 28 = 364
days). The Lunar calendar is believed to be the first
measurement of time. This 13- month calendar was
later replaced by the solar calendar (12 months).

The 13th day of every
month should be a reminder of our sacredness, our
divinity and our power to positively affect the future
of humanity by nurturing, honoring, and valuing
ourselves to better mold and shape our youth.
