Personally I don't think Friday the 13th is any more likely to bring bad luck than any other day of the year. I just think people notice it more on the day. If you fall and break your leg in an accident on the 2nd of April you just put it down to an accident but if it happens on Friday 13th you notice the date and know the myth of it.

friday the 13th can be any sort of day that it wishes in my opinion, it is another day. Though the beautiful Moon that is standing high in the sky at the moment is breath taking. Luna is showing her beauty tonight.

I believe you mean Freyja which the following link has many of the alternate spellings of her name.

It's also contested that Friday could be named for Frigga.

Old English: Freo/ Frige " The free, unbound" Often translated as "the beloved"

Old English: -doeg "day"

  • Freodoeg
  • Frigedoeg

Teutonics and other Europeans often mixed the two- largely because of translation(s) as Europe progressed. As well as the region/which polytheistic framework was more popularized in a particular region. This would then allocate association of the day with either Freo : Freyja or Frige : Frigga. Possibly both.

My memory sucks, but I don't think there was a distinction between Freyja and Frigga in Anglo-Saxon Paganism.

J.R Clark Hall's A Concise Anglo--Saxon Dictionary:

Perhaps in etymology, but not in core.
