5 Ways You Can Honor Your Divine Feminine This Friday The 13th

Friday the 13th is not actually an unlucky day. In fact, it’s a day to honor and empower the Divine Feminine. Here’s how:

Work on self-acceptance.

Self-love and self-acceptance do not come easy. There’s doubt, anxiety, shame, and lack of self-forgiveness and self-compassion that weigh heavy on us, making it hard to fully love and accept ourselves for who we are. If you want to honor your Divine Feminine, you must embrace your strengths and your vulnerabilities. Speak kind, loving words to yourself in the mirror. Nurture yourself. Give yourself grace.

Connect with nature.

Some people are more in tune with nature than others, and if you want to become one of those people, then go spend time outside. Sit in silence and listen to the wind. Touch grass. Dip your toes in the ocean. Take up gardening. All of these are great rituals and ways to connect with the feminine energy of Mother Nature.

Engage in creative expression.

Expressing yourself through any artistic medium–painting, writing, dancing, sculpting, making music–are great ways to honor the Divine Feminine. By nurturing this creativity, you’re making space for yourself, your dreams, your heart, your vulnerabilities, and your imagination.

Be mindful and manifest.

This Friday the 13th falls on the day before the New Moon in Libra. Libras are ruled by Venus, the planet of love, sex, and beauty. New Moons are a great time to manifest and visualize what you want in life and love (with a partner and with yourself). Be mindful of what you’re manifesting and remember to be present.

Get educated.

Learn about goddess traditions, myths, and legends from different cultures. Explore sacred texts that honor the Divine Femininity, the moon, the womb, and goddess figures. Support women’s causes and empowerment initiatives. Read up on what it means to tap into your Dark Feminine power and how you can hold space for every part of who you are.
