It's #Monday or #Mōnandæg [ ᛗᚩᚾᚪᚾᛞᚫᚷ ] - Mōna or Mōnē's day, the Day or the Moon God, his name is rooted on the old proto-germanic word for "to measure". It also the root of the word "mæl" (meal today) and #Mōna is the root of the word #mōnaþ [ ᛗᚩᚾᚪᚦ ] or Month.

There is very little written evidence left about Mōna, apart from his name being given to the word for today. However, as he is cognate to #Mani (Norse Moon #God) who is attested in Prose #Edda and the Poetic Edda.

I for one however, like to look at Mōna how the Germanic tribes might have, and let us create our own stories and traditions. That is how storytelling works -- nothing is made up, just remembered differently.

The #Moon was what was used to mark time, he travelled the heavens, guiding us forward, from the cradle to the grave. That is why some people believe he was also the protector of Children and life.

This piece of art, that I drew shows Mōna, cradling the children that he protects as he crosses the night sky and the passage of their lifetime. It is done in the Early Medieval Style
