A Cup Of Fiction
A Cup Of Fiction, Dark Magic Good day, my friends. It is a great day. It isn’t Thursday morning. I am writing this piece, but I thought we might enjoy chatting about interesting history. I enjoy chatting with you in the mornings. Did you know that way back when the Romans had an eight-day week called the Nundinal Cycle? The day E pronounced, Eh was associated with the Roman God Jupiter, King of the Gods. Meanwhile, back in the middle and northern European areas, the fourth day of the week, Thursday, if you consider Monday the first day of the week, got its name from its association with The Norse and Germanic God Thor. Pronounced Thorsdayg, it transitioned to the current pronunciation between 1100–1500 CE, with Thursday being the common by the late 1400s CE. Later, when the Romans adopted Christianity, they left behind the Nundinal eight-day cycle over a few hundred more years. They adapted their days to the seven-day week and associated Eh to Thursday as they saw similarities between Jupiter and Thor. Gods and ancient history bring me to the Creative Fiction writing topic for today’s A Cup of Fiction. Do the Norse and Roman Gods ever conjure visions of Dark Magic for you?
