M Stands for Mother
March 26, 2012 | Tania Gabrielle
When letters were created, each one had a mystical meaning. This is true for all languages.
'M' was thought the most sacred letter of all, since Water is absolutely necessary for all life. 'Woman' begins with W and has an M in the center.
Visually, letter M stands well balanced. A prominent V defines the middle of M.
So this letter is open to inspiration and new ideas. The combination of balance and inspiration gives the M the ability to Manage with authority - whether it be managing a household, an event or a business.
This even extends to the position that the letter M has in the Western alphabet - 13/4.
13 symbolizes transformation and change - life, death and rebirth. 13 truly celebrates eternal life and continual change, as in nature's 4 seasons. 4 represents physical manifestation through order, work, discipline, family, stability and patience.
Say the letter 'M' out loud. It is the ONLY letter pronounced with your mouth closed.
Since M symbolizes Water, a closed mouth represents the immense silence of the deepest parts of the ocean. From here all life emerges, and the waters are mute.
There is great power in silence. Our most wonderful inspiration comes when our mind is quiet and still. A mind at rest can listen to the heart. Those are the moments you renew. On the other hand, when surrounded by noise, your mind is disturbed.
We sleep in silence, so that our mind and body can renew every night. When we wake up, we change from rest to action - a change so vital to living a meaningful and healthy life.
This continual change from movement to rest is symbolized by the waves in the letter M.
If your first or last name begins with M, you have all these great qualities within you.
As with every number, each letter has a shadow side. Once we understand the shadow side, we can recognize it, and make a choice. The art in all of this is not to judge yourself or others, but to decide to embrace Being at One again.
The shadow side of M is cold and unfeeling. This is when the closed mouth symbolizes being inexpressive and distant. With a prominent M you may feel hemmed in at times. You work hard and are conservative. You also may forget to take time out and just relax. That's the 4 - symbolizing discipline and work.
Give yourself gentle reminders to enjoy all you have created. Go with the flow. Just like water.
M literally looks like a Mountain range and reaches for great heights and impact. This is why we have words such as Mountain, Millionaire, Magical, Momentous, Majestic, Miracle, Moment, Mega, Meta, Maximum, Mythical, Money and Master that begin with M.
When you express the shadow side of M, you create the opposite effect - Minimal, Minus, Micro, Martyr, Melancholy and words beginning with 'Mis' - like Mis-take, Mis-interpretation, Mis-understanding, Mis-led.
For all Mothers, the symbolic connection of the sacred letter M to water, change, life and mastery is completely apt and wonderful.
Oh, and even the word Multi-tasking and Micro-manage are covered!
Here is a toast to all Mothers.

Number 13: The Legends, Myths, and Facts
October 16, 2011 | Bonnie Moss
Mythology has its own story. The Norse gods were having a banquet for 12 at the Valhalla when Loki, one of the evil gods gate-crashed the party. Balder was the god of light, joy and reconciliation. He had a blind brother whom Loki tricked into throwing a sprig of mistletoe on Balder's chest which killed him ( Balder). Mistletoe is the only earthly thing that was fatal to Balder.
Into the Middle Ages, the stigma against Friday the 13th grew stronger. On Friday, October 13, 1307, King Phillip !V of France ordered the arrest of the Grand Master of the Knights Templar and his senior knights and other members. They were tortured to compel them to admit to "wrongdoings."
And they were executed. Sympathizers of the Templars condemned Friday the 13th as an evil day.
Later in the 18th century, this belief about Friday the 13th was again reinforced. The British ship HMS Friday was launched on a Friday , the 13th , the captain was a man named Jim Friday. The ship was never seen nor heard from again.
Do these events justify the stigma attached to number 13? It is documented that this fear of Friday the 13th costs millions of dollars a year in business loss due absenteeism and cancelled appointments .
Some "unlucky" events associated with 13 is the famous Apollo 13 mission in 1970. It was launched on 1313 hours, from pad 39 ( 13 x 3), 3 of the sleeping arrangements for the astronauts were timed to start at 13 minutes past the hour and so was one of the possible splashdown.
On April 13th, the first of the several setbacks to Apollo 13 occurred and this added drama to the mission.
In many hotels and skyscrapers, there is no 13th floor.Most airplanes have no seat No. 13. In Italy, it is usual to leave out 13 in numbering the lottery tickets.
Thirteen for dinner? Not in France. A party of thirteen can hire a professional quatorzieme, a fourteenth person, from an agency. In some big hospitals, there is no Operating Room 13, to spare the patient added anxiety being wheeled into Room 13.
13 is the ideal number of people in a coven. It is believed that to left-handed people, 13 is their lucky number.
But why is number 13 given such a negative implication? This dates back to many centuries, and still holds today in the 21st century.
Perhaps the anticipation of the negativity of number 13 makes it a self-fulfilling prophecy. Why could it not be any number?
