OUR COMMON OBSERVANCES

HOW ARE OBSERVANCES DETERMINED

The most common means is someone provides a proposal, the current active council members review it to determine if it conflicts with Druwayu's foundations and primary teachings, and if found to not truly be in conflict, such are presented to the Druish community for consideration. Votes go through active members on this website (not usually observable by non-members or incomplete membership pages) and set for a short period of time for the start of the voting and deadline for all votes to be in. The majority percentage of yes or no for inclusion or rejection determines what is or is not passed and recognized as official. Otherwise, the following were established with the creation of Druwayu itself from the start.

"Hail to the One and Three. I give thanks for another day."

There is no need for some sort of sacraments, offerings or any other forms of worship or devotion and considered in itself a profession and declaration of faith well enough in and of itself. This comes from our most basic view that the One and Three are in no need of sacrifices and there is nothing one can truly do to "win their favor" as attempting to do so is considered a silly act of trying to bribe them somehow. They avail themselves well enough through the Drikeyu and need not do any more as the Druwayu alone holds us to our own accord for better or worse. For as every action as its own reaction, so too does every inaction. All actions and inaction have consequences whether we like it or not.

HOLY MONDAY NIGHT: WEEKLY OBSERVANCE

Druwayu’s Holy Monday Night observance is a unique tradition, distinct from the solemn rituals of many religions. Followers gather for a relaxed, communal feast that strengthens bonds of family and friendship while extending hospitality to strangers, including the less fortunate. Non-Druans are welcome, but anger-driven conflicts are forbidden, preserving the event’s sacred nature.

The celebration centers on sharing food, drink, and stories, promoting peace, joy, and inclusivity. Participants also reflect on Druwayu’s theological, philosophical, and scientific dimensions, guided by the motto "embrace logic, humor and absurdity," fostering the tradition’s evolution.

Eclectic activities like sharing pizza, listening to heavy metal music—featuring “sacred” songs such as Mötley Crüe’s Girls, Girls, Girls, Warrant’s Cherry Pie, and Don Felder’s Takin’ a Ride (Heavy Metal.
Belly dancing or pole dancing are considered sacred dance. These elements support mental, emotional, and physical well-being, aligning with a logical understanding of human needs and freedom from needless fear or shame of sex or the human body.
The consumption of pizza (the various kinds are not a restricted thing) serve as the communal feast aspect emphasize community bonding and hospitality.
The most common "sacred drink" is beer consumed from a bull's horn as an embrace of old friendship traditions, but non-alcoholic drinks can also be used without detracting from the communal bond.

Historically, this blend of pizza, heavy metal, and performance art reflects the 1980s punk and metal subcultures, which used these elements to rebel against an oppressive society and escape its challenges, fostering a vibrant community focused on identity and fun without harming others.

By integrating modern and traditional elements, Druwayu’s observance bridges the spiritual and physical, rejecting their separation and creating a celebration that resonates with contemporary followers while honoring its philosophical roots.

FOUNDER'S DAY: JAN 10

Founder's Day, first celebrated on January 10, 2025, honors the 52nd birthday of Druwayu’s founder, Raymond Steven Gottlieb Foster, the First True and High Elder Warlock, born on January 10, 1973, in Salem, Oregon.

By Foster’s decree, this day is dedicated to forgiving all debts and trespasses, ensuring no lingering obligations—here or hereafter—disrupt the communal harmony.

The celebration blends elements of New Year’s festivities with the joy of gift-giving, symbolizing mutual appreciation for each other’s lives, through both triumphs and challenges.

A central candle-lighting ceremony anchors the event: it begins with one person recounting their blessings, particularly those tied to family, and lighting a candle.

Each participant then lights their candle from the previous one, creating a chain of shared light.
Once all candles are lit, the group reflects on the flames, each representing a life that touches another, multiplying like stars in the sky, a visual reminder of interconnectedness.
With a collective cheer, participants cast their lit candles into a fire pit, igniting a bonfire.
Into this blaze, they toss written debts, symbolically releasing burdens and embracing renewal.
This act of burning debts underscores the founder’s vision of liberation and unity with a fresh start for all personal and social baggage.

Founder's Day encapsulates Druwayu’s core values of forgiveness, gratitude, and community. By combining reflective rituals with joyful celebration, it honors Raymond Steven Gottlieb Foster’s legacy while reinforcing the bonds among followers.

The holiday serves as a powerful reminder of the interconnectedness of lives, encouraging participants to live with generosity and compassion, free from the weight of past grievances. And as it holds with any observance or celebration, there is no tolerance of any hostilities, and any who violate this are removed.

ADAPTED AND ADOPTED OBSERVANCES

Elvenblót: Blood Moon Ritual

Elvenblót (a name derived from Álfablót literally meaning Blood Elves but also can mean Blood Wolves) is a modern ritual observance during a Blood Moon —a total lunar eclipse with a red hue, occurring 2–4 times a year. It honors the mystical balance of nature and the unseen, focusing on offerings, safety, and reflection. How we know when this happens to track Blood Moons using astronomical calendars, we use NASA’s eclipse predictions. It's generally considered during the Blood Moons the Elves are in particularly aggressive and dangerous tendencies unlike the "other full moons" throughout the year.

The Blood Moon’s red glow symbolizes a spiritual connection through bloodshed—either from hunted prey or a hunter wounded by resisting prey. The Wild Hunt, a spectral force of order and chaos, embodies the Álfar, ancestral hunters (not a distinct species), also known as Úlfhéðnar. We reject dualities like light and dark elves, viewing them as one.
Úlfhéðnar, meaning "wolf-headed ones" or "wolf-skinned ones," derives from Álf/Úlf/Ólf (related to walf/wulf/wolf) and héðinn (linked to "hooded," "headed," or "hides," meaning wolf skin), with the plural suffix -ar from Scandinavian roots. These warriors wore wolf-shaped helmets and skins in battle, channeling the wolf’s ferocity, speed, and cunning. Wolves, totems of Godan, symbolize strength, guidance, loyalty, protection, and lunar hunting ties.
Wolves also maintain nature’s harmony, guarding the untamed world, connecting to the basis behind later Werewolf origins with ancient rituals. Úlfhéðnar consumed intoxicants, howling and shaking rhythmically, dancing to mimic wolves circling prey—a proto-dance with prehistoric roots—before battles or hunts, as reconstructed from fragmented ancient sources.

How to Observe

Offerings: Leave small portions of food (bread, grains, or "ethically" sourced meat) and drinks (beer, wine, or mead) outside your home or in a natural spot like a park. For example, place bread and beer by a tree stump or on a boulder to show respect.
Stay Safe: Remain indoors during the eclipse, closing windows and doors.
- Place iron objects or salt at entryways or draw a chalk circle with salt and stones around your home.
- Do not open the door or look out a window if you hear knocks, even if it sounds like someone you know.
- Hang wind chimes to ward off negative energies.
- Avoid whistling or making loud noises especially as the Sun goes down.
- Some will also place on display animal skulls facing away from the home, sometimes marked with red "x" marks to look like blood, believed to steer the Álfar away.
- Avoid areas tied to folklore (e.g., cemeteries, ancient trails), stay calm if you hear odd sounds, and show silent respect by avoiding eye contact with anything unusual.
- If threatened, lie face down quietly with hands over your head and resist any urge to look up or at someone or something if you feel you are being touched, poked or feel a looming fearful sensation, or warm and inviting one.
- If outside, carry protective items like a steel keychain and avoid historical sites such as burial mounds because it is believed that during the blood moon that as the Wild Hunt of the Álfar starts and ends, the rise from and return to their burial mounds which are both their temples and tombs.
Community: Share the event’s meaning with loved ones. The meaning is to recognize there is more to life than what is apparent, and that there is both beauty and horror to the natural and spiritual aspects of reality that must be respected.
- More so is the fact that the Álfarblót concerns honoring the dead and so the custom of recounting the lore of the dead is also linked directly to the shared life force (Wihas) of the family and community.
Cleanse After: Sprinkle salt or ocean water around your home post-eclipse. Document any unusual experiences (e.g., eerie sounds) honestly in a journal, sharing only with trusted friends.

Common Symbols:

Wolves: Symbolizing the Álfar’s predatory but also loyal nature and their connection to the Wild Hunt as an expression of a wolfpack as a spectral hunting procession. Wolves, often depicted as hunters or through howling sounds, represent the chaotic, primal energy tied to the Hunt’s foreboding presence during a Blood Moon.
Moon: The Blood Moon (as well as any Hunter's Moon as a term originally meaning any full moon), a red-hued total lunar eclipse, symbolizes the Álfar’s lunar tie and the Wild Hunt’s unrestrained natural and spiritual power.
- As a Hunter’s Moon (a full moon following the autumn equinox, often linked to hunting season), it enhances the hunting theme, marking a time when the Álfar and the Hunt are believed to pursue spiritual (and literal) prey and a need to avoid becoming prey.
Arrowheads: Representing Elfshot, the belief that the Álfar hunt with invisible arrows causing harm, arrowheads symbolize their role as supernatural hunters.
- Placed near offerings or carried as amulets, they connect to the hunting motif, echoing the Álfar’s spectral pursuit during the Hunter’s Moon.

SOME OBSERVE THE EIGHTFOLD CALENDAR

This is distinct from the commonly recognized eight holidays often referenced by others. Furthermore, it is unnecessary to use "archaic" names to describe them. It suffices to identify the events they mark and the festivals they are called in contemporary English, though their origins are far more ancient and considerably less muddled than is frequently presented. Sometimes called the Wheel of the Year, the one most see is a hybrid form that is a modern invention and does not have "Pre-Christian" origins as often claimed. The one presented as follows being based on actual known migration-based calendars, on the other hand, is.

Pre-Spring: February 1-2. Pregnant caribou cows inspire the move the herd to leave the ancient pine forests and the shelter of mountains and hills and begin their journey through the mountains to seek the open fields as the glow of spring is seen.
- Festival of Light in celebration of the first light of the New Year and the association with pregnancy, often having attributes representing cattle and rain rather than snow falling as things become warmed by the Sun.
- The 1st Goddess Fulla (The name means full).
- This was often considered a joyful occasion to welcome the returning light of the Sun that would also chase the frost, snow and ice away with the promise of the return of new life.
- In ancient times this was often celebrated with parades of people carrying torches and fire dancing to name a few of the related activities.
Spring: March 21-22. Snow melts and flowers grow while the caribou calves are born in the foothills and fields as herdsmen light bonfires to keep predators at bay and to pick off any stragglers they can for their own survival.
- Festival of Birth in celebration of new life being born renewing the world, and associated with eggs, and baby animals, including infant humans and a time to celebrate motherhood and fatherhood.
- It is the time of the traditional Spring Cleaning where any and all waste materials or left over debris from food, broken furniture, and so forth, would be cast into fires as a way to get rid of garbage more or less.
- Part of this also included "purging" crop fields with fires to burn away old debris and potential vermin and make it easier for the land to revitalize itself.
- The 2nd Goddess Bera (As a not, bera means bear as in birth, and birth is also akin to Bird).
- This is the time when day and night are equally balanced as they will be at the time of the Autumn Equinox, but soon the nights will grow shorter than the days.
Pre-Summer: May 1-2. A calm period for the caribou and herders, the animals graze on the fresh growth and nurture their young while the herders maintain the fires and seek to keep them burning for the reasons already stated. The other purpose is simply to stay warm as one would expect.
- Festival of Flowers in celebration of youth, when young animals begin to play, flowers are blooming, leaves are full of life and mother animals begin teaching the young how to survive, and is as such often learning customs, and guidance.
- It also is tied to an old belief that by leaping through the fires or over them it would banish any malignant ghost that may have attached themselves so the living and would make them and even their cattle, pets or land in general, sick.
- Sickness caused this way was often called Ghost Sickness.
- Other methods including lighting small votive boats with lamps and setting them adrift during calm waters of lakes and streams with the belief such would guide other ghosts safely back to the hereafter and allow the living to enjoy the world for a while.
- The 3rd Goddess named Lyfa (The name means Life and Leaf).
- Being the time when life is in full bloom, people would often light fires they would leap through as a form of purification and with the hope the "fires of light that bring life may in turn bless them with children.
Summer: June 21-22. Under the light of the midnight sun, herders mark their new-born caribou calves, repair tools and tents and tell various stories to pass the time.
- Festival of Oaks in celebration of strength, when the young are able to provide more for themselves and begin to play fight to become stronger in preparation for establishing their place among the herds.
- It is often associated with sports, exercise, as well as crafting.
- God as Hernan (The name means Horned One).
- It's also associated with the time when Light of the Daytime Sun has conquered the Dark of Nighttime when both light and life are at their fullest strength and dominate the hours of the day and fully active and awake everywhere.
Pre-Fall: August 1-2. Caribou bulls, fat from the summer, are sorted for slaughter to remove the week from the herd and save resources, and a time to make tools and clothing from the hides and bones of the animals and cast the remains off for scavengers.
- Festival of Feasting in celebration of food and abundance, and a time of sharing and giving thanks.
- It is also a time to make tools and clothing from the hides and bones of animals, trade goods, and also has connections to hunting and harvesting.
- The 1st Goddess as Fidia (Also Fioda/Fjodia. The name means Feeds).
- This also marks the beginning of harvest time.
- The hay would have been gathered in, and the time for reaping the wheat and barley was due.
- It was a time of gathering together and served as a time of giving thanks for the bounty of the Land, Sea and Sky more or less.
Fall: September 21-22. Herders fish for food while the caribou bulls battle for breeding rights to mate with the caribou cows in estrus and also go about seeking other harvested food resources from the trees, plants, fungi and vines. Because of this connection with vines which link to such as berries made for wine, it's also often the case various wines or mildly intoxicating drinks made from fermented fruits may be added to these observances.
- Festival of Love in celebration of selection of mates, consummation of weddings and feasting, fishing, harvesting, hunting, romance, virginity, and weddings as well as mid time harvests.
- This was the time that tended to involve contests and games of intelligence, skill and strength and when one could potentially find their potential lovers with the intention of being wedded.
- Various games were played as methods of fortune telling with hopes of revealing who one should wed or ask the ancestors to help with finding one a suitable husband or wife if they were so inclined.
- The 2nd Goddess as Lofia (The name means Love).
- This is the time when day and night are equally balanced as they were at the time of the Spring Equinox, but soon the nights will grow longer than the days and slip towards the darkened times of the year.
Pre-Winter: November 1-2. The herders now travel out of the frost-covered mountains into marshlands following caribou to where green growth is still available, and the people also slaughter the selected and week animals for food. It is also the time the full hunting season begins. It also marks the beginning of the darker half of the year.
- Festival of the Hunt in celebration hunting and preparation of the coming cold, storing up food reserves and gathering the last of increasingly scarce resources with return of the dark hours where the Moon becomes the more dominate source of light. (Not to be confused with Elvenblot and their Wild Hunt).
- It is also often associated with death for obvious reasons as it is the time when the world beings to go into a state of rest and hibernation, and it is also a time to honor the dead, often through recounting their stories and renewing cultural memory.
- The 3rd Goddess as Hunta (The name is pronounced as hoonta and means Huntress).
- It's also akin to hund for hound).
- Another observance involving ancestors also included going to their burials where tombs also served as temples and offering were given to them to revitalize their ghosts.
Winter: December 21-22. After dividing the caribou herds the families move with the caribou to the pine forests where winter fodder is more accessible and the various clans come together and meet again and reside together for a time till the herds begin to move, and gifts are given to welcome and make and keep peace with other herding clans and to show hospitality to the strangers to insure peace among them when sharing the common camp grounds.
- Festival of Friendship in celebration of friends, family, neighbors and hospitality to strangers, with the tradition of sharing resources and mutual support in the forms of gifts and an expression of gratitude for mutual provisions, survival and wellbeing.
- It's a time where mutual customs/laws are respected to keep the peace among the diverse people who must share a limited space and limited resources responsibly.
- God as Eldan (The name means Old One as well as Elder).
- It's also associated with the time when Light of the Daytime Sun has been conquered the Dark of Nighttime when the Dark dominates the hours as well as when light and life are at their weakest and go into a state of rest.

Note: The names are from ancient sources, and in this case, they are applied based on meaning and related associations that align well with the given season. There are some slim, but known examples where these names occur, though the particular associations were considered lost. Having simply compared these ancient observances and some descriptions of potentially associated characters, it was easy enough to apply these names properly as "dual forms" of the One God and three Goddesses as their "light and dark" aspects and without implying light or dark automatically align (as many do out of foolishness) with such concepts as good or evil.

The key point to emphasize is that this particular calendar has its roots in ancient traditions closely tied to the seasonal migration of herds, particularly a species known as caribou. In these herds, the males are referred to as bulls, and the females as cows. This association has led to some historical misunderstandings, with caribou being erroneously conflated with bovines by those unfamiliar with these traditions. This is useful for those that might be inspired to develop and present additional observances to be included as part of Druwayu's traditions.

SOME OBSERVE THE TWELVEFOLD CALENDAR.

This will also be simplified starting with reiterating the associated names for God and the three Goddesses with the 12 months and the associations of the months themselves in a generalized sense. Addition explanations of etymology and symbols will be applied as points of reference rather than an exhaustive explanation. Naturally there will be an overlap with the previous. Some will observe both regarding them equally valid.

THE THREE SUB-NAMES OF GODAN (and Three Major Holidays)

WINTER/DECEMBER: WULDER (WIELDER). Associated Winter Storms and with festivity and sharing of resources and gestures of peace and friendship. Yule Month - The Full Long Night and Bright, Cold Moon - Killing weak animals for feasts such as pigs, but also includes Caribou. All the customary decorations of this season from wreathe and garlands, trees and mistletoe are all part of the decor that is common this time of the year festivities. The word Yule itself, as it is also called, comes from the variants of ġiell, giul, ġeōl, and jól as well as gelos. It’s of Greek to Latin origin meaning ultimately ‘Yell’ in a sense of cheering, and shouting/cheering. It is, ultimately a time of peace, family, friendship and hospitality to neighbors and strangers as a very ancient and holy custom. As a symbol of the season the Deer or Caribou skull is most common, and also often a totem/mascot of family. Many ancient stories consider the path of the Milky Way in the sky the tracks of celestial Caribou and say the world was created from the flesh and bones of one of these celestial creatures brought down by a Great Hunter.
SPRING/APRIL: SADAN (SEEDER). Associated Light and Life, with young male animals beginning to fight for dominance and to attract mates of the opposite sex. Snow Crust Month - Full Pink Salmon and Egg Moon - Planting and picking flowers and herbs. It is also known as Langantide, literally meaning Longer Time when eggs were boiled and given as gifts. The earlies mention of decorated eggs is from King Edward the 1st. This was based on the simple observation that the hours of light were becoming noticeably longer with the explosion of new life. The Hare or Rabbit (two different species) with a basket is actually based on the darkened craters of the moon as shown here. It also appears to have a basket used to gather things such as food and medical herbs, etc. Because this all ties into the abundant life theme, this character is also said to be the creator of a brew of immortality. The image of a triad of Hares represents the gentler qualities of the Hare which are selflessness (compassion), respect (piety), and giving (charity).
SUMMER/AUGUST: GRIM (GRIME). Associated with hunting and harvesting and the selection of animals to be slaughtered for food resources. Molt Month - Full Sturgeon and Green Corn Grain Moon - Wheat threshing and bread making. The name Halloween comes from All Hallows Eve literally meaning all healed and all whole and all holy eve, as in the day before the Catholic Observance of All Saints. The association with so called Samhain is largely fiction because the first mention of it is from the 9th century CE manuscript 'Martyrology of Óengus' and places Samhain on November 1st. All it says of the time is "This is the day of Stormy Samhain (Sowen)." Spelled Samain it only means Summer, not Summer's End or it would be spelled Samain Crích in Old Irish, and Simmer Críoch in Old Scottish. There are strong connections with wild boar at this time as sow and sowan as it pertains swine, but it should not be ignored there is also the connection with 'sowing' seed that can other, sometimes sexual connotations. The specifics are not fully known as it was also called worm and hay making month. There's evidence that around the 12th century some would honor ancestors at family burial mounds.

THE THREE AS THE THREE SISTER GODDESSES

WEVA (WEAVER), SPINNA (SPINNER) AND KUTA (CUTTER): All three associated with crafting tools, clothes, and mending such as tents used for temporary shelters, making of nets to capture fish and other animals, as well as measuring the conditions of life for all things. They are various known as the Wayward Sisters, the Wyrd Sisters and the Nornir/Norns to name but a few. The following will be the associated sub-names and will show how they connect with the sub-names of Godan.

FOR GODDESS 1: WEVA (THE WEAVER)

JANUARY: LITA (LIGHTS). Consort of Sadan. New Year Month - Full Wolf Moon - Feasting and Drinking.
MAY: BLOMA (BLOOMS). Consort of Grim. Reindeer Calf Month - Full Flower Corn Planting Milk Moon - Hawking/Falconry and seeking a spouse.
SEPTEMBER: GIFA (GIVER). Consort of Wulder. Harvest Month - Full Corn and Harvest Moon - Grape harvest and wine making.

FOR GODDESS 2: SPINNA (THE SPINNER)

FEBRUARY: FULLA (FULLNESS). Consort of Sadan. Bear Month - Snow Moon and Polar Bear Month - Enjoying a warm fire.
JUNE: GRANI (GRAIN/GREENS). Consort of Grim. Acorn Month - Full Strawberry and Rose Moon - Hay harvest and storage.
OCTOBER: HELIA (HEALER). Consort of Wulder. Rut Month - Full Blood, Hunter’s and Second Harvest Moon - Purging, Plowing fields, harvest, sowing seeds.

FOR GODDESS 3: KUTTA (THE CUTTER)

MARCH: BRYD (BRIDE). Consort of Sadan. Swan/Stork Month - Full Crow and Worm Moon - Pruning trees or digging holes for seeds.
JULY: RUNA (RED). Consort of Grim. Hay Month - The Full Thunder and Buck Moon - Wheat harvest and fence mending.
NOVEMBER: SKADI (SHADY). Consort of Wulder. Hunters Month - Full Frosty, Beaver Trapper's Moon - Gathering acorns as food for pigs.

We can now show some of the more common associations with each of these 12 solar months of a calendar. One should be mindful there are many variations of these and what is common to one part of the world and its associated environments will not necessarily apply in the same way, as say, how they align with those geared more to northern countries, or more or less regions of the United States of America or Canada. Otherwise, these types of observances will vary based on location on Earth, the state of those environments and how their seasons play out as primary determining factors that make them only relevant to those regions and the cultures that developed within them.

Examples

January: New Year Month - Full Wolf Moon - Feasting and Drinking.
February: Bear Month - Snow Moon and Polar Bear Month - Enjoying a warm fire.
March: Swan/Stork Month - Full Crow and Worm Moon - Pruning trees or digging holes for seeds.
April: Snow Crust Month - Full Pink Salmon and Egg Moon - Planting and picking flowers and herbs.
May: Reindeer Calf Month - Full Flower Corn Planting Milk Moon - Hawking/Falconry and seeking a spouse.
June: Acorn Month - Full Strawberry and Rose Moon - Hay harvest and storage.
July: Hay Month - The Full Thunder and Buck Moon - Wheat harvest and fence mending.
August: Molt Month - Full Sturgeon and Green Corn Grain Moon - Wheat threshing and bread making.
September: Harvest Month - Full Corn and Harvest Moon - Grape harvest and wine making.
October: Rut Month - Full Blood, Hunter’s and Second Harvest Moon - Purging, Plowing fields, harvest, sowing seeds.
November: Hunters Month - Full Frosty, Beaver Trapper's Moon - Gathering acorns as food for pigs.
December: Yule Month - The Full Long Night and Bright, Cold Moon - Killing weak animals for feasts.

As a side note, what we are usually told to be the origins of the names of the 7 days of the week is actually a long-established fiction. In fact, one is going to be hard pressed to find out when such alleged naming conventions occurred. Instead, you will be told what is claimed "how" we allegedly got such names. That being said, I shall provide the actual names and what the true basis for their meaning is. Furthermore, our modern order is actually off.

Sunday is the Seventh Day: Sun is from Sunn – Plural Sunn-an. This one is consistent historically in meaning.
Monday is the First Day: Moon is from Monn –Plural Monn-an. This one is consistent historically in meaning.
Tuesday is the Second Day: Tues is from Tu-an (Twain) - singular Tu mean Two. The context is second day.
Wednesday is the Third Day: Wednes is as variation of Witnas meaning Witness. It is not related to "Wodan" which is actually the source of the word wooden and was also spelled as wotan with the same base meaning.
Thursday is the Fourth Day: Thurs originally was Thurstan meaning Thirsts/Dry/Parched. It's akin to Old English Thyrre and Old Saxon Thurs, as well as Old High German thurri. It does not mean "Thor's Day."
Friday is the Fifth Day: Fri simply means Free as in such as Frith meaning Freed or Frithdom for freedom. It’s not "Freya-day/Frigg-day (f) or Freyr-day/Friar-day (m),” though either can be applied.
Saturday is the Sixth Day: Sadan from Sad = Seeding, also Sadar = Sower (falsely linked to the word Shatan which becomes hybridized as “Satan” later on).

All the oldest indicators make clear that even before these names, originally, they were only named by number. In such a case then the names of these days would be in these elder language roots rather unremarkable and applied as syfend-dag (seventh day), fuirst-dag (first day), tuandan-dag (second day), thriddan-dag (third day), fiyurth-dag (fourth day), fyfth-day (fifth day), and seksan-dag (sixth day). There is also other related etymology to all these matters that I shall take a moment to note before continuing along with noting specific other things which are listed here for reference and must be understood this is just one set of known variations from many old and diverse texts that most today are simply unaware of because it's not a subject of interest for most.

An = One, Tuan = Two, Dri = Three, Fiyur = Four, Fyf = Five, Seks = Six, Syfen = Seven, Aht = Eight, Nyun = Nine, Tian = Ten, Anlyfan = Eleven, Tualyf = Twelve, Dritian = Thirteen, Fiyurtian = Fourteen, Fyftian = Fifteen, Sekstian = Sixteen, Syfentian = Seventeen, Ahttian = Eighteen, Nyuntian = Nineteen, and then the next sets. Tuan-tig = Twenty, þritig = Thirty, Fiyurtig = Forty, Fyftig = Fifty, Sekstig = Sixty, Syfentig = Seventy, Ahttig = Eighty, = Nyuntig = Ninty. Hunderod = Hundred and Thusand = Thousand. Once one understands these it becomes easier to correctly write such out. For example, Anhundred und Ahttig = One Hundred and Eighty. Ahttig-an = Eighty-One.

Day = Dag. Week = Wik/Wic. Night = Naht. Sun Rise = Sunn Risan (Risen and Rising). Sun Set = Sunn Sidan (Sits and Seats). Times = Timan. Tide = Tidan (Hours). Minutes = Huil (While = Moment). Seconds = Luttil Huil (Little While = smaller moment). Month = Monath. Year =Iar. Heavan = Heave – on (lifted up as in the top of a hill, mountain, etc.). Earth = Aerd/Arda/Urd (akin to -gard = yard). Hell = Hel (akin to Hall from Hal, and Heal from Heli, and also Holy from Holi and Hole from Hol). North = Nord, Ast = East, South = Suth, and West = Uast. Sky = Scio, Sea = Seo, Land = Lond. Cloud = Clud (originally clod as a lump of rock and dirt), replacing wolkan = walks/moves), Ice =Is, Rain = Regan. Snow = Sno. Light = Liht. Dark = Dirk, Shadow =Skado (It also was the word for shade as skad), Bright = Berht (also for birth and bird from burd), Shine = Skin, Gleam = Glim/Glam, Tree = Tri (also a word for three, and also triu and trien meaning trees and threes). Root = Rot (Also as Rod = Rood). Wod = Wood, plural Wodu and Wodan means Wooden. Wido and Widu is the source of Widow.
