The gods (not god) in everyday life

All mighty dollar seems to have a grip upon believers.

What about Odin's day (wednesday)?

Måndag Moon´s day
Tisdag Tyr was Odin´s son. Nordic mythology
Onsdag
Torsdag was Tor´s day
Fredag Freja´s also in the Nordic mythology
Lördag comes from the old Nordic word löga = wash. The day to take a bath.

forgot Sunday
Old Nordic sunnudagr, engelsk Sunday 'solens dag'

Is Aquamen the modern version of Lördag ? I like the guy already !
All praise the bathing God !

It is not bathing God - it means that you took a bath.
At least that is what they did high up in the Nordic countries. Wonder if they even had heard about it down south.

How about every time you read or write the date.

Academia making progress changing the nomenclature to CE but we all know it's AD if you think about it.

The OP asked about 'the gods' but if you really mean that the list is really exhaustive.. People make gods of everything in life.

Yes, except in places like Israel where they instead use the nomenclature "CE" and "BCE," for common era/before common era.

interesting. I thought CE and BCE was standard usage now.

in any case, I'm searching for the origins of my kitchen witch

separately, on the subject of god/s, I went to a performance of Beowulf by Ben Bagby on Friday. Have since been reflecting on the almost casual references to god/s in the piece.

Even at the well-respected Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC, the city with the largest Jewish population in the USA, dates are indicated in AD/BC.

Haven't seen that used here for years (other than at the art gallery). Interesting.

the ROM and Gardiner and similar have been using CE/BCE for years (even in their press releases)

^^ this was a great show - esp in the company of a former A2ker who has a lab at the ROM where she studies Sumerian pottery

This I found under Küchenhexe
and
what you have is a Hexe to protct the food for not burning on the stove.

In Sweden we have Hexen around Easter.

They're all planets, according to classical thinking, and the gods who are associated with those planets.

Moon, Sun, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Saturn and Jupiter.

Why doesn't Russian have that? What were the Slavic gods' names? Russian days of the week originate from Resurrection, Week-start, Second Day, Middle Day, Fourth Day, Fifth Day, Sabbath.

Ya'll need to read American Gods, by Neil Gaiman.

Seriously.
