I am one of those people who just loves the number 13. Both my partner and I were born on the 13th day of our respective months and feel it's good luck. I seek the number out for signs and messages. But the number does make some folks uneasy. Thirteen is associated with the Death card in the Tarot. This card represents transformation: letting go of past ideas and moving into the future. A good way to tap into that energy and overcome your fears is to connect 13 to other mysteries using a little math and meditation. Pull the Death card and one or more of the following cards to use as an energetic guide on your altar:

1 + 3 = 4: The Emperor asks, "What's your foundation?"

3 − 2 = 1: The High Priestess chants, "To enter the mystery, leave your fears behind."

10 + 3 = 13: Wheel of Fortune and Empress sing, "Let creativity flow!"

6 + 7 = 13: The Lovers and the Chariot whisper: "Let your body lead you."
