TODAY’S ALMANAC:
by Mike Telin
According to the website Angel Number, the number 13 represents the combined energy of the numbers 1 and 3. It is a number with very strong symbolism and has great power.
The number 13 is a karmic number. If the power of this number is used for selfish reasons, this number can bring disaster and destruction to the person who misused its power, causing this person illness and disease. It is the fear of disaster and destruction that causes Triskaidekaphobia — the fear or avoidance of the number 13.
In honor of this date we’ve created a playlist of 13 works that contain the number 13 in the title.
1) J.S. Bach’s Prelude and Fugue in F-sharp No. 13 from The Well Tempered Clavier, Book 1 performed by Sviatoslav Richter.
