It is believed that Friday the 13th superstition began as a Norse myth. The Norse myth was about twelve gods who were feasting in Valhalla, when an uninvited guest decided to crash the party. Loki, the uninvited guest, brought the total guest list to 13. Loki had made arrangements for the blind god of darkness, Hod, to shoot Baldur, the god of joy and gladness, with an arrow made of mistletoe. Baldur died and as a result of his death, the Earth was plunged into total darkness and mourning.
