Playing For You From Our Scented Cottage..

Think what a better world it would be if we all, the whole world, had cookies and milk about three o'clock every afternoon and then lay down on our blankets for a nap.

It's Saturday...


'Then rose the seed of Chaos and of Night
To blot out order and extinguish light.
Of dull and venal a new world to mould,
And bring Saturnian days of lead and gold.'

Saturday is considered The Day of Reckoning and The Day of Saturn. Traditionally seen as the seventh day of the week, the Latin name for this day was "Dies Saturni" meaning the "Day of Saturn," which was later developed by the Anglo-Saxons to Soeterdoeg. Saturn was associated with the ancient Greek "Kronos" or "Time" and some refer to this deity as Father Time. Kronos was said to have attempted to devour each one of his children but was unsuccessful with Neptune (or Water), Jupiter (or Air) and Pluto or (The Grave), as it was believed that not even Time can harm these. Jupiter eventually banished Saturn from his thrown.

Saturday is ruled by Saturn and energies include:
Protection, Removing Obstacles, Addressing issues or problems, and “magical cleaning.”
