Friday: The Day of Venus

Have you ever wondered why the days of the week are named as they are? What if we told you that the naming of these days has roots embedded deep within the cosmos?

The days of the week, as we know them, were named after, or are associated with, the Sun, Moon, and the five planets visible to the naked eye. This amazing celestial connection has its roots in ancient civilizations, with a beautiful blend of astronomy and mythology, bridging the gap between the earthly and the divine.

Friday: The Day of Venus

The English word "Friday" comes from the Old English name "Frīgedæg," which means "day of Frige." Frige was a Germanic goddess who was associated with love, fertility, and the household. She was also associated with the goddess Freya in Norse mythology. In many other languages, the name for the day Friday is derived from the name of the goddess Venus or from the Latin "dies Veneris," which means "day of Venus."

Venus, known as Aphrodite in Greek mythology, is the goddess of love, beauty, and fertility. She represents attraction, affection, and the compelling urge to unite with others. This makes the connection to the concepts of love, beauty, and fertility quite fitting. The influence of Venus is believed to enhance these qualities, encouraging harmony, bonding, and joy.

The Power of Venus

As per the Key of Solomon, an ancient grimoire attributed to King Solomon, the days and hours of Venus are said to be ideal for increasing attractiveness and self-confidence, beauty and passion, enhancing creativity, improving fertility, developing friendships, obtaining love.
