Every time we spell and pronounce the names of these Western months and days, we cast out spells and enchantments to mystery Babylon.
The names of which directly refer to the god and goddesses our calling gives obeisance. Again, scrutinising the nomenclature reveals absence of intelligence. November means the ninth month, while December means the 10th month.
The original Roman year had 10 months: Martius (March), Aprilis (April), Maius (May), Junius (June), Quntilis (July), Sextilis (August), October, September, November and December in that sequence.
The year began with Martius as the first month.
Numa Pompilius, the second king of Rome circa 700BC, added the two months Januarius and Februarius. He also moved the beginning of the year from Martius to Januarius and changed the number of days in several months to be odd, a lucky number.
After Februarius, there was occasionally an additional month of Intercalaris (inter-calendar). This is the origin of the leap-year day being in February.
In 46 BC, the authority of Julius Caesar reformed the Roman calendar, hence we have the Julian calendar. Julius changed the number of days in many months and removed Intercalaris.
Januarius means the month of Janus. Janus is the Roman god of gates and doorways, depicted with two faces looking in opposite directions.
His festival month is January which had 29 days before Julius changed it to 31.
Februarius means the month of Februa.
Februa is the Roman festival of purification, held on February 15. It is possibly of Sabine origin.
Februarius had 28 days until circa 450 BC when it invariably had 23 or 24 days on every second year.
Julius then made it 29 days on every fourth year and 28 days otherwise.
The Intercalaris had 27 days until the month was abolished by Julius.
Latin and old English Martius, Anglo-French Marche, is the month of March. Mars is the Roman god of war. He is identified with the Greek god Ares.
March was the original beginning of the year and the time for the resumption of war. Barbarians of this time went to war on scheduled periodical times.
War was seasonal and staple.
Latin Aprilis, Etruscan Apru, Greek Aphro (short of Aphrodite) and old English April is the origin of the current month of April.
Aphrodite is the Greek goddess of love and beauty.
She is identified with the Roman goddess Venus. Again, the meaning of hermaphrodites is attached here. Aprilis had 30 days until Numa when it then had 29 days, but Julius brought it back to 30 days.
Solid proof of confusion!
Latin Maiusmensis, old French Mai, is the month of May. Maia means the great one and is the Italic goddess of spring, the daughter of Faunus and wife of Vulcan.
Latin Juniusmensis, old English Junius, old French Juin and Middle English Jun, is the month of June. Juno is the principle goddess of the Roman Pantheon.
She is the goddess of marriage and the well-being of women.
She is the wife and sister of Jupiter and is identified with the Greek goddess Hera.
July used to be Quintilismensis, the fifth month. But Julius Caesar changed this, renaming this month after himself.
August used to be Sextilismensis, the sixth month. Augustus Caesar clarified and completed the calendar reform of Julius Caesar and renamed this month after himself.
Sextilis had 30 days until Numa when it had 29 days, and then Julius when it became 31 days long.
September mensis, October mensis, November mensis and December mensis translate directly to the seventh, eighth, ninth and 10th months, respectively.
However, nowadays, these months refer to the ninth, 10th, 11th and 12th months, respectively.
Also, the Greeks named days of the week after the sun, the moon and the five known planets.
These were, in turn, named after the gods Ares, Hermes, Zeus, Aphrodite and Cronus.
The Greeks called the days of the week the “Theon Hemerai” (days of the gods). The Romans substituted their equivalent gods; Mars, Mercury, Jove (Jupiter), Venus, and Saturn.
These two pantheons are very similar. The Germanic peoples generally substituted roughly similar gods for the Roman gods; Tiu (Twia), Woden, Thor, Freya (Fria), but did not substitute Saturn.
Sunday is obviously a day reserved for sun-worshipping as is seen to this date.
Moon-day is a day specially reserved for Moon-worshipping.
Tuesday is from Old English Tiwesdaeg, middle English Tiwesday or Tewesday. Tiu (Twia) is the English/Germanic god of war and the sky.
He is identified with the Norse god Tyr.
Wednesday is Woden’s day. Woden is the chief Anglo/Saxon Teutonic god. Woden is the leader of the Wild Hunt. He is identified with the Norse Odin.
Romans dedicated this day to Mercury, the god of commerce, travel, thievery, eloquence, science and messenger of the other gods.
Grecians dedicated this day to Hermes; the god of commerce, invention, cunning, theft, and also herald of the other gods.
Thursday is Thor’s day.
Receiving a lot of attention these days, Thor is the Norse god of thunder.
Romans had Jupiter (Jove) dedicated to this day. Noted for creating thunder and lightning, Jove is the supreme Roman god and patron of the Roman state.
Greeks had Zeus, the god of the heavens and the supreme Greek god.
Freya’s day is Friday and is dedicated to Fria. Fria is the Teutonic goddess of love, beauty, and fecundity (prolific creation). She is leader of the Valkyries and one of the Vanir. She is confused in Germany with Frigg.
Frigg (Frigga) is the Teutonic goddess of the clouds, the sky, and conjugal (married) love. She is the Norse goddess of love and the heavens and the wife of Odin.
For this day Romans had Venus, the goddess of love and beauty.
Grecians had Aphrodite (Cytherea), the goddess of love and beauty.
Saturday is Saturn’s day. Saturn is the Roman and Italic god of agriculture and the consort of Ops.
Cronus, Kronos or Cronos is the Greek god Titan who ruled the universe until dethroned by his son Zeus.
