More on the number 7- continuation of earlier post. 7 days in a week? Yep that magic 7 pops up all over the place. It is even considered a lucky number by gamblers- 777!!! Why do you think the number 666 is considered so evil? Why it is 111 from 777 or the number 6 is one less, as in falling short. Ever heard that bible text? We all fall short..... blah blah blah? Ok got sidetracked. Back to the 7 days in a week. Here goes!! Sit down, get a stiff drink! Get out your heart pills!!!! Seems we are right back to astrology again. No escaping facts. (BTW Notice that the day of the week that is chosen to worship the SON is really the day for SUN worship!!!???? SUNDAY: SUN This one is obvious - the Sun. Known as Ra (or Re) by the Egyptians (as in the suns rays), the Sun has been worshipped and respected by all cultures throughout time. Even the word itself has significance - Jesus was the Son, and the Suns technical name, Sol (as in Solar or Solstice), can relate to the human Soul as well. MONDAY: MOON Monday is actually Moon day. The ancients knew the Sun and Moon were different than the other 5 planets - not just because of their size, speed and intensity but due to a certain quality they possess. TUESDAY: MARS Tiw is the Nordic God of War, equivalent to Mars in the Roman pantheon, so the Day of Mars (dies Martius) is really Tiws Day. The French for Tuesday is Mardi (Mardi = Mars), as in Mardi Gras (Fat Tuesday). WEDNESDAY: MERCURY Another Norse God, Odin, was called Wodan (Woden) by the Anglo-Saxons and both related to Mercury, from the Roman. Wodens Day (Day of Mercury) became Wednesday, and if youve ever wondered why we spell it that way (instead of Wendsday, which is how it sounds), this is why the d comes before the n. THURSDAY: JUPITER Thor, the Norse God of Thunder, relates to the Roman Jupiter, who was also the God of Sky and Thunder. So, the Day of Jupiter, became Thors Day, sounding very similar to Thursday. FRIDAY: VENUS The Norse God of Love was Freya, and the Roman was the Love Goddess Venus, so the Day of Venus, became Freyas Day, or Friday. The Italian word for Friday, Venerdi, sticks closer to the original Latin, Venus. And of course the Spanish version of Friday is Viernes SATURDAY: Saturn Saturn, so it is the Day of Saturn, or Saturday, as this is the one English translation that comes directly from the Latin source. Knowledge = a breath of fresh air and it certainly frees one from the bondage of religion... Seek the truth and the truth shall set you free
