WHAT DOES THIS HAVE TO DO WITH WICCA?
It’s important to remember that wicca is a religion formed from old pagan beliefs and traditions. It’s also important to learn the ways wicca has an impact on today which I may do an article on in near future. Monday and Sunday you could argue are important days. Monday used to be name moons day a day of the Goddess of the moon possible the Goddess we follow in wicca. Sunday was name day of the sun, a day to worship the sun god in wicca the sun god is also the horned god. So wicca can be linked to the days of the week.
