The Gods, the Planets, the One Language
Is it the days of the week that is of my concern here? No. Is it the planets necessarily? No. It is the people for whom these planets and these days of the week are named that I am most curious of, for I believe that in time we shall shed light on these people that proves them to have been very real, and not mythological at all. That is IF we can focus our brains, technologies, and resources on discovering these things. They were not Gods, but the product of two separate people from two separate planets. Person A being of Earth, Person B being of X, the unknown planet. These Gods were, if you will, super human. Granted, this is a well known theory. For some of my friends, perhaps not so well known. If the truth is laying in all of this, the implications that ancestry remains today is magnificent. If truth is in any of this, the implications that we are not alone are massive. The Gods/Goddesses I mention here are only SOME which related to the days of the week, and their planetary namesakes. There are many variations from various cultures, all of these other deities seemingly very similar to the ones mentioned here. The same stories over and over again spoken with different names.
"The association of the weekdays with the respective deities is thus indirect, the days are named for the planets, which were in turn named for the deities."
1. Sunday= in Latin "dies Solis" means "day of the sun". Originally noted as first, since Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday respectively are considered second, third, fourth, and fifth in the Greek translation. In the Indic language Sunday was a manner of address for the chief solar goddess, Surya. Also identified with Sol another solar deity, sister to Mani (Norse mythology).
2.Monday= In Latin is " Lunae dies" meaning "day of the Moon". In Hinduism this day represents the God Soma. In Norse, Mani who represented the Moon.
3.Tuesday =in Latin "dies Martis" meaning "day of Mars", Mars being the God of war. The God Tiw (Old English) or Tyr (Norse) identify with Mars.
4. Wednesday = in Latin "dies Mercuri" meaning "day of Mercury". Gods identified with Mercury are Woden, or Odin. He is in all likelihood considered to be identical to the God Mercury.
5.Thursday = in Latin "lovis dies" means "Jupiter's Day". Jupiter himself was a Roman God of the sky and thunder. Jupiter identifies with the God Thunor (Thor).
6.Friday = in Latin "dies Veneris" means "day of Venus". Venus of course is linked to the Greek Aphrodite. In Old English Friday is the "day of Frige" for Goddess Frigg/Freya who represents Venus. Frigg was wife to Odin and Queen of Asgard and stepmother to Thor.
7. Saturday= in Latin "dies Saturni" means "Saturn's Day". Saturnus was the God presiding over agriculture. His wife was Ops and his children included Jupiter.
It would appear then that all the planets would be related, as all the respective Gods/Goddesses assigned to them are in relation to each other genetically. Is it not possible that these "Gods" were actual people whom those is antiquity venerated and thus named not only planets, but days of the week after?According to mythology the first inhabitants of the world were the children of Terra (Mother Earth) and Caelus (Father Sky). So think for a moment that Terra was perhaps of Earth, and Caelus from the sky. Terra was also mother to Saturnus. Saturnus was father to Jupiter, who in turn is the equivalent of Zeus. Frigg (or Venus/Freya) was said to be wife to Odin, who you will recall is the God of Mercury. And she was also stepmother to Thor. I am not proposing that these people were people of Earth, but certainly real people nonetheless. Remember that until not too many years ago, Troy was simply a myth. A legend. We now know that Troy was very real indeed. Regarding Mani and Sol, is it not possible that Mani and Sol (the Sun and the Moon) were here prior to all of these people, just as the Sun and the Moon were likely the first noticeable planets/stars by those living in antiquity. That when Terra and Caelus joined (that is, an Earth woman and a Sky man) they produced these other worldly Gods, Odin, Thor, Saturnus, Venus, and that as planets were discovered and catalogued these planets, as well as the days of the week, were named after these super humans as commemoration, and as a very strong and bold reminder to US.
In stanza 23 of the poem
Vafþrúðnismál; the god Odin tasks the jötunn (or nature spirit) with a question where the Sun and the Moon came from, the sun and the moon he describes as journeying over mankind. The spirit responds that Mundilfari is the father of both Sól and Máni, and that they must pass through the heavens every day to count the years for mankind. ;)
