The proto-Nordic Week Days.

1. SunþudagaR (No. Sunnadagr) "Day of Sôwili/Sunþôn"
2. ManadagaR (No. Mânadagr) "Day of Manan"
3. I forgot TîwadagaR (No. Týsdagr/Tîrsdagr) "Day of TîwaR"
4. WôðanadagaR (No. Ôðinsdagr) "Day of WôðanaR"
5. ÞunadagaR (No. Þôrsdagr) "Day of ÞunaR"
6. FraujudagaR (No. Freyjudagr) "Day of Freyja"
7. HaimadalþadagaR (No. Laugardagr) "Day of HaimadakþaR"

Note that Saturday (HaimadalþadagaR) is "Laugardagr" ("Washing Day") in Norse, instead of "Heimdalladagr". This is because the last day of the week was used to clean the house and to wash yourself, and eventually they just called it "Washing Day". Yes, the pre-Christian Scandinavians washed themselves and their homes every Saturday. The Christians put an end to this though, and the centuries following the Viking Age are therefore known as "the centuries when nobody washed". Washing yourself became a "sin", because it was a "Pagan" custom.

The Templars working to take back their "Holy Land" (Judea) NEVER washed. MY "Holy Land" is called Europe. The modern perception of people being filthy and untidy in the past is based on the Christian past, not the pre-Christian past. In pre-Christian Europe people were actually very tidy, clean and well kept - yes, also in the Stone Age.

A terrible hygiene, and all the health problems following this, were introduced to Europe with Christianity (a type of Judaism). A good hygiene did not return until long after the Renaissance (when the European ideals and ideas were being revived).
