Among Witches, Friday the 13th is often thought of as lucky. And what better way to enhance that luck than by celebrating Epulum Jovis, or "the God's Banquet," an ancient Roman festival on this date honoring Juno, Jupiter, and Minerva, the goddess of protection and wealth, the sky and thunder god, and the goddess of wisdom and worldly endeavors, respectively.
To curry the favor and receive the considerable blessings of these gods, place statues or pictures of them on the dinner table, set places for them, and cook a simple yet delicious dinner. Serve the deities food, and in all other ways treat them as honored guests. If you have any special requests, perhaps save them for tomorrow. For now, just dine and align your life with the goodwill of these powerful gods. When you've finished, return their meals to the earth or place them in a compost bin (dont' eat them!).
