Wednesday comes from the Old English word Wodnesdaeg, meaning “Woden’s Day”. In Spanish (and other romance languages), this day is known as Mercury’s Day. Woden (or Odin) is often associated with the Roman god Mercury because they are both considered to be guides of the soul after death, and both are associated with language and writing.
Wednesday is ruled by the planet Mercury, and its energy relates to communication. Many people believe that this tie to communication is so intense that when Mercury goes into retrograde (seeming to move backwards in the sky), computers, transmissions, cell-phones, communication in general goes “wonky”.
Wednesday is a great day for business, scheduling meetings, and improving communications within the home. If you want your thoughts to be conveyed in a clear and concise manner in such a way that others will be able to understand you, this is the day to make that happen. It might also be a good day for you to take a class, as you will be able to understand the material better. In Tarot, the Page of Cups indicates intuitive messages are on the way. Be open and “listen” to what they might have to say.
Wednesday can also be a good day for travel. This might be a good day to take off and have a day trip. If you’re thinking of taking a trip, today might be a good day to focus on planning it.
The Eight of Wands typically represents “quick trips” for business or pleasure.
We infuse each of our Wednesday day of the week candles with all of these aspects. Our candles are dipped or molded with purple wax to represent the color of the day and its ruling planet of Mercury. To the tealights, we add the alchemical symbol for Mercury to the top of the candle for an extra boost.
Lighting one of our Wednesday day of the week candles can help bring this energy to bear for you. Add one to your altar on Wednesday as a petition.
