Friday the 13th is often deemed an unlucky day, and the origins tie back to Norse mythology. Loki, the God of Mischief, was uninvited to a feast of twelve gods. His unexpected arrival led to chaos, resulting in the death of Baldur, a beloved deity, which set the stage for the superstition around this day.
