Body language is a form of mental and physical ability of human non-verbal communication, which consists of body posture, gestures, facial expressions, and eye movements. Humans send and interpret such signals almost entirely subconsciously.
Body language may provide clues as to the attitude or state of mind of a person. People who show their body language to you can reveal their feelings. The technique of "reading" body language to know if someone loves me or loves me not the position of the feet is used frequently.
Loves me or Loves me not can be indicated through the position of the person's feet. If the toes are pointed directly toward you that person is planted in your life. If one foot is positioned to the left or right, that person wants to leave your personal space.
FRIDAY 13th: - The superstition might be rooted in mythology. Friday is named after Frigga, who is the goddess of love and fertility. When Christianity took over Northern Europe, this female deity was labelled a witch and banished to a mountaintop. It was believed that every Friday, to get revenge, the goddess got together with eleven other witches and the devil to plan wicked things for humans. In fact, for centuries, Friday was nicknamed The Witch’s Sabbath by Scandinavians. In fact, the root of the world Friday comes from Freya – the name of the good goddess turned evil. There is a rare phenomenon of Lucky Energy that lies hidden behind FRIDAY THE 13th, and it is going to last for an entire 52 days.
Most people agree that FRIDAY THE 13th emits a particular kind of magnetism which can trigger “miraculous” events, especially as far as wins at games and finding true love are concerned.
This is a very special time, when you can see hundreds of people who are in very difficult straits (emotional problems, family conflicts, financial difficulties and others) experience a surprising and rapid change in their lives, often in less than 30 days.
Superstition - Friday, subjected to Venus, is widely held to be unlucky and a day when evil influences are at work - especially if it happens to be the thirteen day of the month. A day when anything that can go wrong will go wrong.
The day that Eve offered the apple to Adam in the Garden of Eden, Friday is favoured for the holding of witches' covens and was formerly the customary day for hangings.
Accidents are more frequent on Fridays (though visits to the doctors are not advised), and clothes made on this day will not fit. Projects or trips begun on Friday will not prosper and any person who laughs on that day, says one proverb, will cry on Sunday. Many people add that Friday is also inauspicious day for moving house or for weddings, and formerly in some parts if the British Isles those who courted their lovers on a Friday were hounded by friends and neighbours banging noisily on pans and kettles. According to one old Shropshire superstition, news received on a Friday makes a physical impression upon the hearer in the form of a new wrinkle for every tiding.
Children born on Friday will prove unlucky, but will enjoy the gift of second sight and healing powers ( I was born on a Friday) Many claim that the weather on Friday will be repeated on the following Sunday. New undertakings of many other events of a personal nature, will also be postponed.
13 - Of all numbers, thirteen is the most starred. Witches' covens traditionally have thirteen members. In the tarot decks the number thirteen is reserved for Death.
Others assure us that the contrary is true, doubtless because the card XIII signifies rebirth
Most unlucky of all is the discovery that one has sat down to dinner at a table where thirteen people are present, a reference to the fact that there were thirteen people present at the Last Supper, where Judas Iscariot was the thirteenth. In reality, the prejudice against the number thirteen is of obscure origins, as evidence exists of it in Roman civilization long before Christ and the Last Supper, which is none the less usually cited as the source of superstition.
Perhaps significantly, the number thirteen was to the ancient Egyptians the last step of the ladder via which the soul reached eternity, though other authorities have suggested Hindu origins.

The small wren and the red-breasted robin are considered very magical birds. A sight of these two birds is a sign that the birth of a new season has begun.
The wren is known as cave dwellers, that live in the dense thickets. In myth, it is believed that the wren flew too close to the sun, which turned the ends of their feathers bright red.
The birds have been described as being born and reborn of fire.
The robin and the wren arrive side by side, bringing the sun's warmth and light. It is said the robin, in anticipation of their union, flew to the heavens to greet the wren and flew too close to the sun, scorching his breast. The robin is a symbol of fertility and rejuvenation. There is so much magic surrounding the two. The gods will surely seek compensation from anyone who harms them.
FEEL THE POWER OF THE SUN,
GENTLE BREEZE,
THE SMELL OF SPRING.
HIGH IN THE TREES,
BENEATH THE GROUND,
SEEDS STRETCHING, TO THE SKY,
SHOW ALL THE BEAUTY,
HELD DEEP WITHIN.
Imbloc, February 2nd, we welcome the first stirrings of spring, and to say farewell to the cold and welcome the warmth. The day's focus is to open our mind, soul, heart, and body to the changing season, to connect with the waxing solar year. Daylight hours gradually lengthen. Animals slowly come alive from the growing heat of the sun. An animal will come out of hibernation on February 2nd to determine the arrival of Spring.
To say farewell to the short days and long nights of the cold, icy winter, Imbloc, is the time for the annual weather forecasting ritual.
People in France look to the bear to see if winter is over. Germany kept their eye on the badger. Canada and the United States of America same tradition apply the groundhog.
The weather forcasting ritual gives a glimmer of hope for an early spring. If a hibernating groundhog casts a shadow at Imbloc, winter will last another six weeks. If no shadow is seen then spring will be delayed. Over many generations the animal forcast have been accurate.
According to ancient British weather lore it is the hedgehog that emerges at Imbloc, to fortell if winter will soon be over. When a hedgehog wakes from a deep sleep, and emerges from its burrow in mid-winter and sees its shadow, because the sun is shining, it will forcast that winter will only continue for another six weeks. If the weather will be bad, the hedgehog will remain inside its burrow.
An eighteenth century American rhyme advises: "Observe which way the hedgehog builds her nest, to front the north or south or east or west, for if 'tis true what common people say, the wind will blow quite contrary way."
