Pagan Guide to Days of the Week – Tuesday
The English name is derived from old English Tiwesdaeg, meaning “Tiw’s Day,” the day of Tiw or Tyr, the god of single combat, victory, and heroic glory in Norse mythology. The Romans equated him with Mars, god of war. In the Indo-Aryan languages the name of the day is taken from Angaraka ‘one who is red in colour,” a title for Mangal, the god of war, and the planet Mars.
