Days of the
Week
see also metals

In ancient times the seven-day
week was not used. In the Pharaonic empire that existed along the shores of the
Nile about 4,500 years ago a ten-day week was used. That ten-day week was
prevalent in both Egypt and Greece, and even in Asia Minor and the Euphrates-Tigris
region, until after the death of Jesus.
If we place them in this order at each point of the
heptagram, and then take a pen and follow the lines as if we were drawing a heptagram in
one line without lifting the pen from the paper, we discover the planets that correspond
to each of the seven weekdays in due order: , Sunday (dimanche, domingo); , Monday (lundi, lunes); , Tuesday, Tyr's day (in Latin countries
Mars'day, mardi, martes); ,
Wednesday (Woden's
or Odin's day in the Nordic countries Mercury's day, mercredi, miercoles, in
Latin countries); , Thursday (Thor's
day in Nordic countries Jupiter's day, jovedi, jueves, in Latin countries); , Friday (the day of the goddess Freja in
the Nordic countries Venus' day, vendredi, viernes, in Latin countries); , Saturday, Saturn's day (lördag
lögare dag, bathing and washing day, in the Nordic countries samedi, sabado,
in
Latin countries). From Encyclopedia
