Pagan gods and names of the days of the week. Pagan gods and names of days of the week Which day of the week corresponds to the Scandinavian gods table
34 Daylet (Awakening of Nature) 7526 Leta from S.M.Z.H. - Memorial Day Pater Diya Torah , the founder of Sventogard (the city of Sventovit), as well as day of reading and honoring the Gods Thor and Sventovit , who fight the dark forces every day, and in the evenings they organize magnificent feasts, at which they bestow strength on all the warriors who have fought and are fighting against the dark forces. Sventovit gives the golden belt of courage to the best, and God Thor gives them a drink of beer (not to be confused with the “beer”-swill that is now in stores!) from the Horn of Strength, Luck and Victory. At all the Temples of Sventovit there are drezhins of the Order of the Golden Belts, to which only the most worthy are elected. In the old days, not every Prince or Voivode had a Golden Belt, but only those chosen for courage and bravery.
Sventogard is the ancient city of Belovodye. It was built on the Ob River.
Also, this is a day of honoring and honoring the Gods Torah And Sventovita.
God Thor
Heavenly Warrior God and Patron of the Righteous Liberation War. He always stands guard over the Light Worlds, guarding the border between the Light Worlds and Hell (the World of Darkness).
The Heavenly God Thor is always kind, cheerful and sociable. At magnificent feasts, in the Heavenly Halls of Volhalla, among the Heavenly Gods, he has no equal in meals and witty jokes, so he was called Thor the Many-Wise.
Various foods and beer were always sacrificed to God Thor, for which only heather honey was taken.
GOD SVENTOVIT
The Supreme Heavenly God, who brings the Pure Spiritual Light of Goodness, Love, Illumination and Enlightenment of the Rule World, into the Souls of all White people from the Clans of the Great Race, as well as into the Souls of the descendants of the Clans.
Orthodox Old Believers from various Slavic-Aryan Communities revere God Sventovit for his daily Spiritual help in all good creative deeds and endeavors that are aimed at the benefit and prosperity of our Ancient Clans.
At the holidays in honor of God Sventovit, competitions in knowledge were held Ancient Wisdom among young people.
Only those young people who had already reached the Circle of Years were allowed to compete in the knowledge of Ancient Wisdom, i.e. age 16 years.
The point of the competitions held by the Priests of Sventovit was to determine how developed the Ancestral memory, imaginative thinking, intuition, dexterity and ingenuity were in the younger generation.
At the very beginning of the competition, the Priests of Sventovit asked young people questions on various topics and riddles. The winner was the one who answered the most questions and riddles faster and wittily. Then, for the winners of the first competition, competitions were held that determined the dexterity and skill of young people in various martial arts, skill in handling a sword and knife, and accuracy in archery.
The above tests were also tested for endurance; For this purpose, young people went to the forest for three weeks, or, as they said in the old days, for thirty days, i.e. for 27 days, because a week in the Slavic-Aryan calendar consists of 9 days.
Anthem-Orthodox Praise:
Sventovit, our Light Bose!
We glorify and glorify You, all the dear!
And enlighten our souls
and sent illumination into our hearts,
for You are the Good God,
YES to all our families.
We magnify you from eternity and call you into our birth,
may our Souls be with You,
now and ever and from Circle to Circle,
Yes, at all times, as long as the Yarilo-Sun shines for us!
The gods fight every day dark forces, and in the evenings they organize magnificent feasts, at which they give strength to all the warriors of Valhalla who have fought and are fighting against the dark forces. The best Sventovit
gives a golden belt of courage, and God Thor
gives you beer to drink from the Horn of Strength, Luck and Victory. At all the Temples of Sventovit there are squads of the Order of the Golden Belts, to which only the most worthy are elected.
In the old days, not every Prince or Voivode had a Golden Belt, but only those chosen for courage and bravery.
And today I will be frivolous...
What you need to know about Scandinavia.
February 15, 2014
Scandinavians are very unusual people. They have Viking militancy in their blood, level 80 tolerance in their laws, peace and order in their lives, and continuous chainsaw slaughter in their imaginations. In Scandinavian reality, phenomena easily coexist, after comparing which the legendary Russian soul somehow loses a fair amount of mystery. “Choose” has selected only a few of them.
Scandinavian chernukha
No one has succeeded as much in the artistic savoring of chernukha as the Scandinavians. The mood was set by the British Shakespeare, who revealed the whole truth about the rotten Kingdom of Denmark. It's been the same since then. Only in Scandinavian films and books do they inventively rape women, torture children, humiliate black people, steal the state budget and organize terrorist attacks with the motivation “because my mother didn’t love me.” And all this on the same day, against the backdrop of an eternally heavy sky, a leaden sea and a general atmosphere of hopelessness. Well, you've probably already seen or read.
Moreover, the plot of the Scandinavian crime spree does not particularly surprise anyone. Except perhaps for viewers from developing countries who have heard something about the real crime level in the Nordic countries. “An unknown person stole a bicycle on the street in Malmö! You listened to the crime report for February.”
Real socialism
Most countries in the world that are trying to organize socialism and equality in their countries do so through the digestive tract - just look at what is happening now in Venezuela. With the Scandinavians everything is different. They are the only ones who really succeeded.
Men sit instead of women on maternity leave, the rich pay for the poor, it is frankly inconvenient to be an aristocrat, children are not the property of their parents - who would have thought that 120 years ago the same Sweden was not just an economically backward country, but also a hotbed of religious fundamentalism. True, even now it risks becoming this same breeding ground again...
Scandinavian superheroes
Thor and his hammer, Odin and his raven, Loki and his charisma - hardly anyone has not heard of the gods from Scandinavian mythology. Scandinavia (in a team with ancient Germany) is one of the most successful exporters of heroic images into modern mass culture, including Hollywood. Why, in modern times: even the days of the week English language These are the days of the great gods. Thursday is the day of Thor (Tur), Wednesday is the day of Odin (Woden) and so on.
Scandinavian design
Nothing superfluous and everything in its place - this concept was also invented by the Scandinavians, and then they thought a little more and added: “And so inexpensive!” Even the centuries-old tradition of “expensive and rich” pales in comparison to the success of Scandinavian design in Russia: just look at the percentages that cunning Krasnoyarsk businessmen charge for the delivery of Ikea furniture from Novosibirsk. And even though the IKEA pieces of wood look exactly worth their price, they unload space in Krasnoyarsk small-sized apartments perfectly.
Scandinavian metal
With such a love for space, light and peace, northern culture managed to give birth to the darkest phenomenon -. This is when several bearded men make a lot of noise with their guitars, scream furiously into the microphone, dream of killing someone for the glory of paganism, and sometimes even make their dreams come true. Like the standard Norwegian metalhead Varg Vikernes from Burzum. By the way, unlike, for example, Russian rockers, who at a certain age fall into moralizing and a correct lifestyle, the Scandinavians are more consistent in their views. Even many years of imprisonment did not correct Vikernes. However, we know about their penitentiary system...
Scandinavian prison
Legends are made about Scandinavian prisons in Russia. They say that in the 90s, ordinary men were eager to go to Oslo in order, through some kind of robbery, to gain access to the sanatorium-resort area of Norway, which for some reason is not in the tour programs.
Many are still trying, but without much success. The Norwegian authorities realized that a separate bedroom, a bathroom with a fragrance and walks in an ecologically clean forest for our people are already an example of a high culture of service. And even torture with cold coffee and searches by female guards, from which the terrorist Breivik suffers so much, does not stop. In general, people are put in a Scandinavian prison not for punishment, but for correction.
This article is devoted to the study of the correspondence between the days of the week and the months of the year and the pantheons of pagan deities, primarily the ancient Roman and ancient Scandinavian ones, since it was these cultures that most influenced the calendar names in our part of the world. Also, for clarity, the corresponding names in the Romance and Germanic language groups were examined, which made it possible to clarify some missing details.
How can this knowledge help us? First of all, this kind of correspondence is used in ritual magic, mainly planetary. The day of the ritual is chosen to match the day of the planet we want to evoke. Also, comparing pantheons helps to correctly construct a ritual, write a proclamation, and sometimes even use the names of various deities from pantheons at the same time.
How to use the developments based on the names of the months is not entirely clear. Obviously, in the spring rituals dedicated to all aspects of the goddess go well. But unfortunately, the month matches are not complete.
Days of the week
It is no coincidence that there are exactly seven days in a week. The number seven is extremely important in many traditions and systems. Classical astrology and planetary magic are based on seven first principles: “The Sun, the Moon and the Five Wandering Stars” (Plato’s terminology). Later, astronomers discovered three more planets, but to this day it is obvious from practice that the influence of the seven main planets on humans is much stronger and more obvious than the influence higher planets. This subject still requires further research and does not concern the topic of this article, so we will focus on the fact that there are seven days in a week, and they may be somehow related to the first known to man planets.
IN ancient Rome this connection was obvious, since the days of the week were called that way:
Dies Lunae – Monday,
dies Martes – Tuesday,
dies Mercurii - Wednesday,
dies Jovis - Thursday, Jovi is one of the names of Jupiter.
dies Veneris – Friday.
dies Saturni - Saturday,
dies Solis – Sunday.
To this day, almost exact copies of these names have been preserved in the Romance languages, which are closest to Latin. Compare, for example, Spanish lunes, martes, miercoles, jueves, viernes. Saturday in Spanish is sabado. In the Slavic group of languages, where no other planetary correspondences have been preserved, the word “Saturday” has the same origin, since it was honored by the Jews under this name. Consider words such as sabbath or sabbath, which come from the same root as the Spanish name for the day of Saturn.
Sunday in Spanish is domingo: by the time Spanish was formed, this day had lost its planetary correspondence and became simply God's day, Domine, a divine day.
It is interesting that in the Germanic group of languages, the names of the days of the week also correspond to deities, but of the Germanic pantheon, which is known to us primarily from the Old Norse sagas, which is why it is usually called Old Norse.
It is possible that the Germanic peoples began to divide days into weeks under the influence of Rome, but even so, at the time when this happened, much more information was available about the correspondence of the deities of the Roman and Scandinavian pantheons to each other. The pagan temples of both cultures were still in operation, and comparisons could be made more effectively.
So, let’s examine the names of the days of the week in the language of the Germanic group that is most familiar to our ears, English:
Monday – Moon day, day of the moon.
Tuesday – Tue’s day, the day of Tyr (also sometimes found under the name Tiu or Tyr) is the one-armed god of military valor.
Wednesday – Day of Wudan, (compare Old English Wōdnesdæg), Wotan's day or Óðinsdagr (Old Scand.). Under the name Wotan, the Germanic Saxons who formed the English people knew Odin. The Romans called Odin the Germanic Mercury.
Thursday – Thor’s day, Thor’s day. For comparison, in Danish this day is Torsdag. It is also interesting that in German Thursday is Donnerstag, a stormy day, and a thunderstorm corresponds to both the thunderer, Jupiter, and Thor, who performed the same functions in the Old Norse pantheon.
Friday – Frey’s day, Freya’s day. It may at first seem like it's Frigga's day, but the vowel "i" often alternates with "e" in related languages, and you shouldn't rely on just one letter. For comparison, in Danish we see “e” in the same place, not “i” - Fredag. Freya's correspondence with Venus is obvious due to her qualities inherent in the goddess of love.
Saturday – Saturn day, day of Saturn. Saturn is the Roman Kronos, personifying time itself (Κρόνος in ancient Greek is time)
Sunday - doesn't even require decryption. Day of the Sun.
So we have:
Monday - Moon, which we also know under the name Mon or Moon, in Russian the word “Month” comes from here (cf. Monate (German), Mensis (Latin)). By the way, more ancient calendars calculated months according to the Moon, and the month lasted a couple of days less. This is now practiced in Arab countries, for example.
Tuesday is Mars, which corresponds to Tyr in the Old Norse pantheon. Sometimes we meet him under the name Tyr. Other variations of this name are unlikely to be correct. For example, Tiu is, most likely, a common rank of all deities, like Deus, and Tuisto, a bisexual progenitor spirit, which Crowley correlated with the Tower lasso, and therefore with the lower Mars, is unlikely to have at least some relation to Ares.
Wednesday – Mercury – One. Despite all the apparent differences between these two deities, Odin demonstrates a correspondence with Mercury in the memory of the people, as evidenced by living languages. Odin was the lord of magic and the owner of the runes, just like the ancient Egyptian Tahuti was the lord of writing. And Tahuti’s correspondence with Mercury is obvious.
Thursday – Jupiter – Thor the Thunderer. Here it remains to add that in Slavic languages this day is considered the fourth, since it is customary to start from Monday, and not from Sunday, as in some European countries. And it is precisely the number 4 that Jupiter corresponds to, both due to its planetary sign and due to Kabbalistic correspondences.
Friday – Venus – Freya. It is interesting that among the Orthodox saints there is such a character as Paraskeva Pyatnitsa, who, among other things, is considered the patroness of weddings like the ancient Slavic Makosh. The holiday in honor of Paraskeva is celebrated around the same time when in Rome they celebrated the day of Ceres, also one of the goddesses corresponding to both Venus and Mokosh, the goddess of fertility.
Saturday - Saturn. Unfortunately, we don't know who Saturn is in Scandinavian pantheon. In Book 777 we find that this is Frigg, which corresponds to the highest Saturn - Binah. Perhaps it is through this correspondence that one can work with this goddess, since she considers it cold and transcendental. The Snow Queen is most likely the Danish Bina.
Sunday – Sun. All we know about this day is that in Europe, unlike many Asian countries, Sunday is the brightest and most festive day of the week. In addition, we know that it is around the Sun that all the planets revolve. It is human nature to worship the Sun - on a sunny day you feel better and have more energy. The ancients knew that they needed to rest on this day.
Months
As for months, everything is much more complicated here. Let's start with the fact that both the Germans and the Romans (we are now talking about linguistic affiliation), the names of the months have a single Roman basis and are not subject to verification. In the Slavic language group, local names have been preserved in some languages, but the very nature of these names (for example, Prosinets or Kviten) speaks more about weather conditions than reveals the secret of the pagan pantheon of the ancient Slavs.
Therefore, we have no choice but to rely entirely on the names that we inherited from the Romans. Let's analyze how the months sound in Latin and compare them with the sound in the English language we are familiar with, and we will immediately give those correspondences that seem obvious:
January - Janus. In Rome it was a two-faced deity, one of whose faces looked into the past, the other into the future.
Feburary - Phoebus (Apollo or Eros in Roman mythology). This analogy is not found anywhere, but in my opinion it is obvious. Phoebus translated from ancient Greek means shining. It is interesting that it was in February that a mystery in honor of Neptune was reenacted in Rome, where the scene of the division of property between the shepherd Apollo and the ruler of the seas was played out.
Martius - March - Mars. The Greeks knew him under the name Ares, and the Romans sometimes called him Quirinus.
Aprilis - April - Aphrodite. First of all, it should be noted that the Roman festival of Veneriarius was celebrated in April. Women decorated the statues of the deity with flowers and themselves with wreaths. For comparison, the name of this month in Old English: ēastre, from where the English name Easter came, surprisingly echoing the sound of the name Astarte, the Greek version of the name Ishtar - the Babylonian Venus.
Maius - May - Maya. In Greece there was such a goddess, one of the seven Pleiades, she is considered the mother of Hermes. In Rome she reappears from the Italian environs, where she was the patroness of the harvest. Interestingly, the May mysteries of the goddess have been preserved throughout Europe. For example, the festive title May Queen is rooted in English tradition. The similarity of this name with Mary, Makosh and simply the word “mother” is also surprising. It should be noted that in Buddhism, Maya is the mother of Buddha, and in some of its branches, the great illusion.
Junius – June – Juno. This is the Roman Hera, to whom Jupiter himself gave lightning. This is the eldest of all the goddesses listed here. In contrast, she was always depicted fully clothed.
Further analysis of the Roman names of the months gives us little:
Julius – July – Julius Caesar, Augustus – August – Emperor August, September – 7th, October – 8th, November – 9th, December – 10th.
We see that some information of interest to us was saved, in fact only such months as January, February, March, April, May and June. Next come the two emperors, and then a simple counting begins (in Rome, in different eras there were different numbers of months in the calendar).
We have two-faced Janus, lord of doors, as well as past and future. And although in Rome New Year began on the day of the Vernal Equinox, from the month of Mars, Janus falling on our New Year is a wonderful hint at how tradition lives on even where it would seem to have been forgotten.
We see Phoebus, Apollo, the shining god of love and beauty, giving inspiration to poets. The Romans knew him under the name Eros.
We definitely have Mars in the face of March. It turned out to be the most tenacious and its name sounds the same in many languages. Perhaps this is explained by the fact that it was the first month of the year, because the year began with the Spring Equinox, when the Sun entered the sign of Aries.
Finally, we have three spring-summer months, which are dedicated to the three hypostases of the Goddess - Venus-Aphrodite, Maya and Juno. April flowers and the complete awakening of nature symbolize the young and beautiful Aphrodite. Note that Venus rules the sign of Taurus, which falls around April.
Next we meet the May Queen of the Celts. It carries the strongest charge for plant growth by watering them with rain. She is a great mother. Finally, we meet the eldest goddess of all, the wife of Jupiter, Juno, who rightly presides over the harvest prepared by the first two goddesses. Further months are a later layering or their true names are lost.
One way or another, conducting such research is interesting and informative. Even if it is not always obvious which deity of one pantheon corresponds to the deity of another, this is only a reason for further even more diligent research.
Each day of the week has its own name. And people, for the most part, are so accustomed to this that they no longer ask themselves why these days have this name. However, sometimes such questions still arise - either suddenly, spontaneously, or at the suggestion of children. Why is Thursday called Thursday? This is an interesting question, the answer to which is really worth looking for. After all, even the process of searching for it will be interesting; in order to find the answer, you will have to consider some historical moments.
After all, this day has had this name for many years, and besides, its name remains similar in many Slavic languages.
Origin of the name of the day of the week: Thursday
Thursday is the fourth day of the week, and it is from the ordinal number that this word comes from. But the modern sound did not appear immediately - initially this day of the week was called Thursday. Then the word became simpler in its syntax and gradually began to acquire its modern sound. Each of the Slavic languages went through its own path of development, and this word remained in each of them, receiving its own sound characteristics, but remaining recognizable.
Interesting fact: Ukrainians say “four,” Serbs and Croats say “chetvrtak,” and the Czechs, despite the fact that they switched to their own writing system, which is close to the Latin alphabet, celebrate this day of the week as “ctvrtek.” And in any case, it is clear that the root remains the same, and therefore the word had common origin for all Slavic peoples.
What is Thursday called in Europe?
The Slavic seven-day week has five working days, designated by numerals, and weekends, the names of which are associated with the Christian faith. But in Europe the situation is different. In the pre-Christian era, ancient Roman ideas were significantly widespread here; the influence of this old civilization remains serious to this day, despite the fact that no Romans no longer exist, and their civilization fell under the onslaught of the same Europeans of the past. The Romans named the days of the week after their gods, a tradition that continues to this day. In Rome this day was dedicated supreme god Jupiter, and this root is preserved in Spanish, where Thursday is called jueves, in French, where it is called jeudi. But this is not the case everywhere.
It so happened historically that in English Thursday sounds like Thursday - the day of Thor, and in German - Donnerstag, the day of thunder. After all, both Jupiter and Thor were gods - thunderers. Also, the German name can be translated as “damn day”, this is due to the transition to Christian traditions. This day among the Slavs was dedicated to the thunder deity Perun.
But why did Jupiter become the symbol of the fourth day? The very designation of Jupiter resembles the number 4, and it is possible that this is not a coincidence at all. The designation remains relevant today, as do the recommendations to devote this day to career issues, serious projects, studies - for those who believe in astrology. After all, Jupiter is not only the thunderer, he is also the supreme god with unlimited power. At least that's what people of the past believed.
Thus, the traditions of Europe retained the habit of calling the days of the week after the names of pagan gods, and Thursday is dedicated here to Jupiter or Thor, the supreme god. In the Russian tradition, and in all Slavic languages, a different trend is noted, because people here did not have to live next to mighty Rome. And therefore Thursday is simply the fourth day of the week, and its name goes back only to the numeral. This is noted in all Slavic languages. Thursday is the fourth working day, followed by Friday and the weekend.
