anyone in esoteric twitter have thoughts on the magical implications of the days of the week being named in such a haphazard way? the moon, tyr, odin, thor, freya, saturn, the sun? what’s up with that

lundi comme la lune
mardi comme Mars
mercredi comme Mercure
jeudi comme Jupiter
vendredi comme Vénus
mais le weekend, un peu différent
samedi comme “sambati dies” en Latin, “sabbath” en anglais
dimanche comme “dies dominicus” en Latin, “day of our Lord” en anglais

wack. it's roman gods in other romance languages too right?
Well classically in Latin, which was pre-Christian, Sunday used to be Diēs Solis or day of the Sun. The Sabbath day usage came later. Same with Saturday. Or “Saturn’s day. lit. ‘Day of Saturn’”:
Diēs Saturnī.
