I am well behind with my acknowledgements of the wonderful Awards I have been given..
Today another came my way and it prompted me to do something about the 13 awards I have been given this year on my blog that I have not as yet acknowledged..
I had told myself at the beginning of 2014 that I would become an Award Free zone, and yet almost as soon as I stated this to myself.. In came the awards..
I counted the awards up to date this year, and they Numbered 13, which prompted me too to look up the significance of 13. For those of you who study numerology the following will not come as a surprise ..
Many think that 13 is unlucky.. but you can find symbolism in numbers too.. The number thirteen is a prime number and is only divisibly by itself. This is symbolic of: Incorruptible nature ~Purity and Integrity.
Then there are thirteen moons in a calendar year. the symbolic meaning of number thirteen deals with the Moons associations such as the Feminine~ Magic~ Emotion~ and the Psychic.
The meaning of Number 3 which is connected to ~Creation ~Completion ~ Order~ Advancement and Mystery
And number One which deals with Beginnings, Initiation, Solidarity, Unity, Birth.
So as I investigated further into the symbolic meaning of 13 I was inspired, as I discovered in Egypt, there are thirteen steps upon the ladder that leads to eternity. Upon the thirteenth step it is said the soul reaches the source of itself and attains spiritual completion.
So my friends you can see those wonderful awards I have been given here on my Awards 2014 with Gratitude Page . And I so thank every one for them..and I hope, really soon I will be tackling sending them along to worthy recipients .. I am working on them..
Love and Blessings and thank you for reading..

We have been taught to shun thirteen as being bad because it holds so many positive meanings…Keep climbing high DW. You deserve every one you receive. Better you than me. As you know I no longer do them. Time consuming and well, just being a popular blog is reward enough and you are definitely that! Congrats lady! VK

Hi Sue! 🙂
Amazing how 13 has been associated with evil (13 to a coven etc.) but as you say that’s not even half that story! 🙂
Congratulations on the awards! 🙂
I don’t do them myself, nice but not my thing, however they are richly deserved my friend! 🙂
Love and huge hugs!

Congratulations on every award Sue
The number 13 comes up many times in history and folklore.
Was the last supper 12 apostles and Jesus-13
I know the number that is the highest degree in Freemasonry is 33.
The Holy Trinity is three.
Three is a very symbolic number.
Pity the bastard doesnt come up in my lotto numbers.
Cheers
