OUR PAGAN ROOTS
Did you know that the days of our entire week are named after pagan gods?
Monday = Moon's day, whom the Sumerians called King-gu, the most noble of the escorts (moons) of an ancient colossal planet named Tiamat before the great celestial battle (collision with an equally massive intruding planet from the 'deep') that cleaved the former, resulting in a smaller planet called Gaeia (Erde; Earth) and half of it as debris strewn in space as the asteroid belt;
Tuesday = Tew's (alt. Tiw) day, the Roman god of fire;
Wednesday = Odin's day, the Viking god who ruled over Valhalla and the father of Thor;
Thursday = Thor's day; the Viking god who battled the great snake and ruled over thunder and lightning;
Friday = Frigg's day, the Viking god of frost who controlled the season;
Saturday = Saturn's day, the Roman god after whom the planet is also named; she ruled over the feast of Saturnalia, a day marked with decadence and hedonism, where devotees ate great amounts and variety of food and wine, vomited forcibly so they can do it all over, and engaged in unlimited s*x with unlimited partners the whole day;
Sunday = Sun's day, the Egyptian god Horus as represented by the winged disc; the Roman god Sol Invictus, whose feast days were set in the movable vernal equinox which depended on the alignment of heavenly bodies that signalled the shift in the length of day, now supplanted by the movable Catholic Holy Week; the worship of Sol Invictus involved the death of the god and his resurrection after 3 days (depicted by the equinox).
