The Self-Love Movement


Why is Sisters' Sanctuary Self-Love Day the 13th of every month?

February 13, 2006 was the official launch of The Self- Love Movement. This is the day for women all over the world to celebrate themselves.

Sources suggest the number 13 was purposely vilified or feared (triskaidekaphobia) by the founders of patriarchal religions in the early days of western civilization because it represented femininity. Under patriarchal rule, women are controlled, exploited and dehumanized. E.g. using the woman's body as a sex object to sell everything from cars, to alcohol, to shaving cream.

Thirteen had been revered in matrifocial cultures, allegedly, because it corresponded to the number of lunar (menstrual) cycles in a year (13 x 28 = 364 days). The 13th day of every month should be a reminder of our sacredness, our divinity and our power to positively affect the future of humanity by nurturing, honoring, and valuing ourselves to better mold and shape our youth.
