Magickal Influences of the Days of the Week
Magickal Influences of the Days of the Week
One day I was sick of my routine. I wasn't able to complete all the tasks that would accumulate on my planner, and how I felt day to day varied greatly. Would I have the energy to carry out that task on that day? The repetition was getting tedious and doing the same rigid routine every day seemed counterproductive.
That's when I started researching the days of the week and their magickal boosts. Using the magickal influences of the days of the week to plan your magickal or even your day-to-day activities is an easy way to work with the flow of the natural universe. Below is each day of the week with their associated planet, element, gender, deities, colors, crystals, plants, planets, and themes.
