13 is a unifying vibration, no longer to be feared, but to be embraced and understood.
How 13 can Change the World.
30 Jan 
In ancient cultures, the number 13 represented femininity.
The number 13 corresponded to the number of lunar cycles in a year.
The imposition of the Gregorian calendar by a patriarchal church, diminished the power of the feminine in more ways than one, for, as we know, the 13 lunar cycles are aligned with the 13 menstrual cycles of the woman.
As the Gregorian calendar was imposed, so the number 13 became associated with superstition and bad luck.
However, in reclaiming our knowledge of the Divine Feminine, we begin to see that 13 is a number that is very relevant and powerful as we awaken our consciousness.
The 13th Baktun signalled the end of the Mayan Long Count Calendar.
We are in the 13th year of the second millennium of the Gregorian calendar.
13 is regarded by some ancient cultures that can be found today, in Brazil, as a number that represents God.
I refer to the Coperos religion and the culture that keeps it alive.
In India, the number 13 is referred to as ‘Terah,’ meaning, your’s. Terah represents Karma in the spiritual sense and the fact that all belongs to the Divine.
Last June, 2012, there was a momentous Venus transit, as Venus moved across the face of the sun.
Many believe that this signified the return of the Divine Feminine and have felt strangely energized and empowered since that time.
There is a compelling desire among many to re-establish our connection with the Earth.
This year of 2013 is more than just symbolic in the re-establishing of our relationship to the Earth…it is manifesting in the hearts and minds of many.
It is worth re-calling the importance of 13 in the Christian religion, at the very beginning… for it was Christ who was the unifier, the one who joined the 12 disciples to make 13.
13 is a unifying vibration, no longer to be feared, but to be embraced and understood.

Magical Driftwood and Happy Cats
As the weekend draws in, the clock tells me it’s time to make dinner and settle in for the evening…it’s Friday evening!
The day has been wet and grey and much of my work has taken place in and around the cottage.
Days like today are welcome though, as it allows a little bit of a slow-down and a time for reflection and making plans.
I have decided to tile the kitchen floor, using broken tiles from the local tile shop, Carrick Tiles.
It is a long task, but the best approach is to a little each day and try not to work too long, as this can inhibit the desire to return to the task the following day!
Missy has kept warm beside the stove. This is the longest period of time without a visit to the vet.
It appears that keeping really warm by the stove eases her symptoms.
Doesn’t she look well?
Some friends visited last weekend and Nick brought me this lovely mirror he made using driftwood. There is something so beautiful about driftwood.
Even the scent of this wood evokes the ocean.
It is magical to live this close to the Atlantic Ocean…about a 45 minute drive to Rosses Point.
I’m happy to tell you all that the “We Will Not Comply” petition now has over 4,200 signatures…not bad for a mere 8 days. If you would like to add your name then here’s the link…
