Names of the Days of the Week History

Published by under Days of the Week, Friday, Monday, Saturday, Sunday, Thursday, Tuesday, Wednesday on November 27, 2009

Sunday:
Its English name and its German name ( Sonntag) are derived from the Latin dies solis, “sun’s day,” the name of a pagan Roman holiday.

Monday:
Derived from the Anglo-Saxon monandaeg, which means “the moon’s day.” Its Latin equivalent is “dies lunae,” day of the moon.” For the Anglo-Saxons the second day was sacred to the goddess of the moon.

Tuesday:
Named for the Norse god of war, Tiu, or Tyr, the son of Odin, or Woden. The Romans honored their god of war, Mars, by naming the third day for him (dies martis)

Wednesday:
Named to honor Odin, or Woden, chief god in Norse mythology. The Romans honored their god Mercury by naming the fourth day for him, in Latin, dies mercurii.

Thursday:
Named for Thor, Norse god of thunder. In the Roman calendar, the fifth day was called in Latin dies Jovis, meaning “Jove’s day,” for Jove, or Jupiter, the god of thunder and rain, the most important deity in Roman mythology.

Friday:
(Anglo-Saxon fr?gedaeg; from Old High German Fr?a, a goddess; Old English daeg meaning day) The day was held sacred to Venus, the goddess of love, by the Romans, who called it dies veneris (“day of Venus”).

Saturday:
Named in honor of the Roman god Saturn. In Latin, Saturday was called dies Saturni; it was called Sater-daeg by the Anglo-Saxons.

Car Protection Spell

Published by under Candle, Protection, Red, Spells, Symbols, Travel on November 26, 2009

To protect your car, cut a three-inch circle from some parchment paper.

In red ink, draw a pentagram whose points go to the edges of the circle. On the reverse side, draw protective runes or other symbols in a spiral, starting at the outside and moving inward. Light the candle and place it on top of the circle. Concentrate on your car, and visualize your own safety. Remove the circle; pass it through patchouli incense smoke.

Sprinkle it with salt and water. As you do, continue your visualization. Place the circle somewhere in your car where it won’t be disturbed.
