Good Full Moon Friday the 13th! (video)

Friday is a happy day in the West, the end of the work week. Full moons are the most beautiful moons of the moonth: each month gets only one. What?

There are 13 months in a year. How? A week is seven days (7), a month has four weeks (4). 7x4=28. There are 13 months in a year (13), which has 365 days. 13x28=364. 364+Day Zero=365.

The Human Calculator Calendar has 365 days divided into 13 months of 28 days each and the first day of the year is the Zero Day. The 13 months are numbered 0-12. Every month has 4 weeks. Every date falls on the same day of the week every month (Scott Flansburg).

Pomona, Harvest Goddess

Just ask the creator (rediscoverer) of the Human Calculator Calendar, Scott Flansburg, "the Human Calculator."

But the Catholic Church with its world headquarters in the Vatican in the world's smallest country, the Holy See at the center of the former capital of the world/the Roman Empire wants us to be very afraid of 13 and the moon, the earth's natural timekeeper.

What if every month went back to having exactly 28 days, and every one of those days fell on the same day of the week, like every month beginning on a Monday, for example? That's how it was meant to be, and we can have it again.

Let's end the "fear of thirteen," triskaidekaphobia, a phobia inculcated in us by a corrupt priestly ruling caste, the modern Brahmins. Moreover, let's end the "fear of Friday the thirteenth," paraskevidekatriaphobia. Let's celebrate our Moon (Luna, Soma, Chandra), the weekend, and 13!

Earth's moon is an artificial satellite placed there.

In Buddhism the moon, Soma, is revered as a deity. It is the basis of the "sabbath" day, the uposatha or "lunar observance day" when

• Buddhists go vegetarian,
• observe the Eight Precepts,
• meditate in earnest, and
• stay overnight at the temple listening to Dharma talks and sutras and meditation instructions.

It's a weekly occurrence that at least gets observed once a month on the full moon and special holidays.

Think of the moon as a big clock face. Anyone can see what time of the month it is and what day of the month by its phases -- full, half, quarter, or new. It is constantly and unfailingly guiding us through the dark, chasing the sun in a circle above us as old maps show. We've been shown a whole other unbelievable story of what's really going on in front of us.

This is the Harvest Moon, closest to the autumnal equinox, the beginning of the fall season. Another one will not fall on a Friday the 13th until 2049, so enjoy the special micromoon in its brilliance tonight.
