13 is considered to be a number of transgression - one past 12 which is almost universally regarded as an expression of perfection, high order of symmetry. Thirteen is thus transgressing, and in doing so, disrupting the order represented by 12.
By the same token, it signifies a new beginning, like the 13th card of Tarot which symbolizes death AND rebirth.
The number 13 is also associated with women and feminine power. For example, there are 13 lunar 28 day periods - 13 menstrual cycle - in one 12 month year. As such, 13 was, and still is, associated with witchcraft, and some of the number's bad reputation has to do with our culture being predominantly patriarchal.
Here is a link to a whole lot of factual info about number 13, from it's (mathematical) properties - 13 is a Fibonacci Number - to it's place in human cultural traditions:
