      You guys really have to stop starting weeks on the wrong day.

        You’re right, Woden the All-father should be first.

          Well, that would still not have the weekend at the end of the week, but at least there would be a reasonable explanation.

      I like how there are days for the sun and the moon, a bunch of nordic gods and then Saturn for some reason.

        They were all celestial bodies. The rest just got more myth attached to them. The Norse names are all sort of kinda mostly the equivalents of the Roman counterparts, and those are famously where we get the names for the planets.

        Sunday

        Moonday

        Mercuryday

        Jupiterday

        Venusday

        Saturnday

        Ther wasn’t a great Norse version of Saturn, so it just kept its name. Even as it is, some of those conversions are pretty flimsy.
