Have you ever wondered about the days of the week and where their names came from? What did they originally stand for? And what do they mean for many of us today?
There is much debate as to which goddess the day is for. Is it for Freya, is it for Frigg? Ultimately it is for the individual who practices to choose for themselves, which goddess to honor or what it represents as a whole. To help you decide, we will look at some different origins and thoughts from across the years.

Intro into Jord
Jörð (Old Norse: Jǫrð [ˈjɔrð]; “earth”) is the personification of earth and a goddess in Norse mythology. She is the mother of the thunder god Thor, and a sexual partner of Odin. Her name is often employed in skaldic poetry and kennings as a poetic term for land or earth.
Intro into Kali
Wild, naked, her tongue sticking out—an uncomfortable, feral image of force, bursting sheer power. She wears the most gorgeous jewelry—ornate bracelets and necklaces, and some amazing elephant-shaped earrings. There’s blood—that unsettling substance with which women are intimately familiar—everywhere on and around her: It drips from the severed head of a demon that she is holding…
Intro into Hecate
The dark goddess, the beautiful and mysterious goddess, the guide through the crossroads and into the afterlife. She is often depicted several different ways including but not limited to even being represented as the triple goddess herself.
Well, Hello! Odin.
As some of my readers know, I started back into my practice slowly. Not really working with any deities at all, then all the sudden there were two that decided to be very loud in demanding my attention and for some time I have worked with Hecate and Freya, they are like bickering sisters at time but help to provide some much needed balance to each other. Jord also, let me know in her subtle yet kind way that she was also looking to be acknowledged. She is my humble Matron. Now with all this Femininity there is someone who has been very insistent that I acknowledge HIS presence lately.
Triple Goddess, Mother-Maiden-Crone
Triple Goddess, Three in One, 3 Faced Goddess [ She has many names and faces 😉 ]The Mother, The Maiden, The Crone.Represented throughout history to fit many different combinations of Goddesses, there is no right or wrong representation of this. There are people who believe there are a few Goddesses that do not need to be paired with others and represent the three in one all by themselves. Whichever you choose or if you choose a path that has one of these Goddesses who alone can be a three in one, that is your choice, your path ❤ There is no right or wrong, yes, I repeated myself, but I really want to drive that point home. Everyone’s path is unique & different, our journey’s are never the same, but will have some tiny glintz of commonality to them. It is up to us as witches of this day and age, to teach & learn from one another. ❤ With this being said, on to talking about the three phases of the Triple Goddess ❤
Intro into Lilith
Lilith, dark, powerful, full of sexuality & strength, is a deity that a lot of women are drawn to when they enter into witchcraft. She is often shrouded in controversy and at times very dark lore.
