Tuesday’s Words

Tuesday.

The day after Monday, and before Wednesday, and always in that order in every week, without exception; even on February 29th (although this time around February 29th is a Monday, it is still followed by a Tuesday… spooky).

Shrove Tuesday falls on a Tuesday. Here in the UK, Shrove Tuesday is also known as Pancake Day, as we all eat pancakes on this day – or are supposed to. I prefer savoury pancakes myself, but Iceland’s version of the day has an even better ring to it – Sprengidagur – otherwise called ‘Bursting Day’. Traditionally it’s the last day before Lent when meat can be eaten, so traditional meat and pea dishes are consumed.

In days gone by, Tuesday went by the name Tiwesday or Tewesday, depending on who you spoke to. The day was named in honour of the Norse God Týr, pronounced Tiu, who was the God of War – or one of them, anyway. There seem to be quite a few. Týr was also the son of Odin, according to some ancient texts. He makes several appearances in the Poetic Edda (which was discovered in Iceland in 1642 and the reason why I included Iceland above – it’s just the way my mind works):

The far-famed ones | could find it not,
And the holy gods | could get it nowhere;
Till in truthful wise | did Tyr speak forth,
And helpful counsel | to Hlorrithi gave.

From HYMISKVITHA – The Lay of Hymir – where Týr and others are looking for something to drink.

Týr is represented by the Rune Tiwaz, which looks like an arrow pointing upwards. Tiwaz has a parapsychological link to a spiritual warrior, honour and righteousness; it also links in law and justice. Here’s an old photo of my Tiwaz Rune beside my Bloodstone Pyramid:

Bloodstone circulates all energy, and removes energy blocks.

I’m hoping it will have the same effect on my Blogger’s Block that I’m going through at the moment – which it will do when I focus on the words that I want to write and add energy to them.

Words are energy after all… and can be very powerful when used in the correct way.

I shall leave you to feel the energy in these words, if you will:

Feel Good and have a good day, now…
