Not really very original, but I know a number of the days of the week actually stand for Norse/Asatru gods. i.e. Thursday = Thor's Day, Friday = Frey's Day, etc.

EDIT: Here's a link to a Wikipedia article. The link should take you to the Germanic section, with all the Norse names.

i always liked the idea of Satyr's Day.

You can’t truly call yourself peaceful unless you are capable of violence. If you’re not capable of violence, you’re not peaceful. You’re harmless.

Technically it's named after the Anglo-Saxon/Germanic deity, so it would be Woden's day.

To try and crowbar this post back on topic, another spelling of Frey is Frigg.... Yup that didn't really work.

I thought Woden was derived from Odin.

Since some days are named after gods, it is too bad we don't have a day named after Uranus.

Both have their origins in proto-Germanic paganism but represent two distinct, yet broadly interchangeable gods. Unfortunately due to the Saxons early conversion to Christianity (compared to the Norse) Woden and the intricacies of this path of paganism have been forever lost to the deepest depths of the dark age.

For a giggle, my SO used to name the days of the week like this:
Mauling Melons Monday
Tickle Me Taint Tuesday
Wild & Wicked Wednesday
Thursday was an off-day (Everyone needs a day of rest I guess)
Feel Me Up Fridays
Sinful Saturdays
Suck Me Off Sundays
