Friday 13th
Un-Loki for some? It is said that If 13 people sit at a table, then one of them must die within a year and Fear of the number 13 is widespread in Western superstition. But how did the number and Friday become such an infamous collab? Whack on your Jason Voorhees hockey mask as we explore Loki’s gatecrash into the Valhala private feast, the 13th guest at “The Last Supper” and the real-life phobia of 1 and 3 adjacent.
