I don’t datefag. I never have. But I see a lot of posts talking about how next Tuesday could be significant. With Durham coming more into the open with his investigation, anything is possible at this time.
What a lot of people don’t know is that a lot of aspects of modern culture comes from leftover remnants of the Pagan beliefs.
The days of the week are from deities in Norse Mythology. Sunnah’s Day, Mona’s Day, Tyr’s Day, Odin’s Day, Thor’s Day, Frigg’s Day, and Saturday comes from the Roman’s for some reason as Saturn’s Day.
You’ll notice that Tuesday was named after Tyr. Tyr in the mythology was the God of Laws and Justice.
I know it doesn’t align with the beliefs here, so don’t misconstrue what I’m saying here frens. I believe Paganism was just another culture’s interpretation of the same thing as Christianity.
I just think it’s a humorous observation that Durham is closing in on the witch, there’s a lot of buzz around a symbolic date that is approaching, and the day itself is named after a personification of Law and Justice
third day of the week, Old English tiwesdæg, from Tiwes, genitive of Tiw "Tiu," from Proto-Germanic *Tiwaz "god of the sky,"
Of course, OP and many others with a modern English only common core education could care less. It sounds good, and smart and all, so it must be truth, right. Damn research.
I don’t know why you felt the need to attack people or accuse others of “common core education”, but Tiwaz is one of the 24 runes in their runic alphabet. It’s an upward facing arrow or a “T”, and it was associated with both Tyr and Thor.
Indeed Tiw and Tiu are Norse Tyr counterparts (also Ziu, Tiwaz, and Tyz) first and foremost god of WAR (then sky, law, etc) = Mars. Not Thor. Thor is Thursday or Jupiter.
You are conflating two different belief systems. Mars is the god of war in the Roman pantheon. That’s Roman mythology. The Norse had separate beliefs. Tyr was the Germanic god concerned with law, and the formalities of war more than war itself.
I agree on the Thor thing. A lot of people believe Thor was the God of War but he’s not. I think he’s the God of strength or something like that. Other people call Odin the god of war but he’s not. He was the god of wisdom, foresight, seidr and poetry.
It is not conflation, these are parallel belief systems that are corresponding to each other in the same manner because they all came from the same source. When I mentioned Mars - I actually meant planet. Mars the god, Tiu or Tyr and many other named gods in different belief systems are different symbolic representations of Mars the planet.
