Women living in a natural environment tend to have their menses during a full moon. A twenty-eight day menstruation cycle is most typical, so a woman usually has 13 menses in a year.

Maya had an entirely different relationship to the number 13, actually revering it at as the Key to Time itself. This is because of their relationship with the moon - 13 in every year.
Several successful athletes have worn the number 13. Dan Marino, an American football player known for passing more yards than any other quarterback in NFL history, wore the number 13. Another athlete Wilt Chamberlain wore the number 13 on his jersey throughout his NBA career. Also, FIBA rules require a player to wear the number in international competitions (only numbers from 4 to 15 could be worn, and as there are 12 players, one must wear 13); Chris Mullin, who wore #20 in college and #17 in the NBA, wore #13 for both (1984 and 1992) of his Olympic appearances. Shaquille O'Neal wore #13 in 1996, Tim Duncan wore #13 in 2004. And Mats Sundin wears 13 in NHL. Alex Rodriguez also wears 13 for the New York Yankees

The pyramid on the left has thirteen layers, not including the eye at the top. Above the head of the eagle on the right, there is a constellation of thirteen pentagonal stars, arranged in the shape of a Seal of Solomon. There are thirteen leaves on the olive branch in his right talon, and thirteen “Jonathan arrows”, as they’re called, in his right. There are thirteen horizontal divisions on the eagle’s shield, and thirteen vertical ones. The motto “E Pluribus Unum”, written on the banner in his beak, contains thirteen letters. So too does the motto “Annuit Coeptis”, written above the pyramid on the left. Furthermore, if you add the number of letters in “Novus Ordo Seclorum” and “MDCCLXXVI” (“1776” in Roman numerals) written below the pyramid, you get 26, or two sets of thirteen. On the front of the bill, at the base of the portrait of George Washington, on each side there are eight leaves and five berries, indicating another two sets of thirteen. There are also thirteen stars on the chevron on the seal of the Treasury Department that is featured to the right of Washington, overlaying the word “ONE.”
Clearly these allusions to the number thirteen are no accident. This truth is compounded by the letters in permanently featured words on the front of the dollar bill (that is, words not contingent upon any changing circumstance, such as the name of the US Treasurer). These words include: “FEDERAL RESERVE NOTE”; “THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA”; THIS NOTE IS LEGAL TENDER FOR ALL DEBTS PUBLIC AND PRIVATE”; “WASHINGTON, D.C.”; “ONE”; “TREASURER OF THE UNITED STATES”; “SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY”; “ONE DOLLAR; and “WASHINGTON.” The total number of letters in these words is 169, or 13 squared.
Returning to the back of the bill, there would appear to be exactly thirteen examples of the use of the number 13 there. But in order for this to be correct, you have to count “IN GOD WE TRUST.” Of course, there are only twelve letters in this phrase, but occupying the same space in the center on the back of the bill is the word “ONE”, implying that we should add 1 to this sum and make 13. This leads us to the thirteenth example of the use of 13 on the back of the bill. There are twelve occurrences of the number “1” or the written word “one”, unless you count the Latin word “unum”, meaning “one”, used once, which makes 13 in all.
13 is also associated with rebellion and in regards to rebellion America founded on great ethics and principles was in rebellion to the monarchist Britain. Thomas Jefferson affirmed that individuals have a right to rebel against tyranny. His motto was "Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God. The bible associated the number 13 in regards to rebellion and deems it as a bad thing, and deems only unquestioning obedience and blind faith to be a good positive thing, and since I have a positive experience with spirituality I do not believe that to be representative of the true God THE ALL or anything good as a whole.
Sometimes I think something that has value and or can be really useful symbolically or whatever in some way we are made to be superstitious of it so we stay away from it, or it is deemed "evil" etc, so certain others stay away form it. If someone is trying to scare you or use fear tactics on you then ask WHY? what do they have to gain form it? What is their agenda?
Unfortunately peoples strong beliefs can make something a self fulfilling prophecy, because what you focus on can manifest through the law of attraction.. If you convinced enough people the number two was “unlucky” then people would manage to find the evidence LOL.
