#Sigel (Sun)

The sun for sailers is always hoped for,
when they depart over the fishes' bath,
until their ship carries them to land.

Good morning friends, welcome to the late #November #Sunday. It’s cold here and the sky is grey here today, but that is what I want from this time of year.
Sunday gets its name from the goddess #Sigel , the #sun #goddess — #Sunnandæg

Below is my interpretation of the goddess Sigel (or #Sunna or #Sól ) drawn in the early #Medieval style.

Good morning #Mastodon, how are you this #Saturday ?

All the other days of the week are named for the #AngloSaxon gods except Saturdays. Why? Why is Saturday named offer the god #Saturn?

I have a theory, based on no evidence at all, but I like the idea of it.

I think they had no name for Saturday as such, I like to think that Saturday was Ærra #Sunnandæg — Before Sun’s Day or maybe Sun’s Day Eve.

The day where we take a moment to wait for the #Goddess Siȝel (#Sigel) to come #OldEnglish
