spirituality is a treasure nowadays, more than ever i think. not to escape reality but to make the most of it. and when you think about it, you’ll see that every belief system has the same core. they all come from one shared idea that is sculpted and interpreted in different ways. but the core stays the same. similar rituals, similar sins and similar ethics. superstitions and folk wisdom, faith and spirituality, mythology and practices. they all go hand in hand. and this is actually something beautiful.

in 2018, i met tarot readings and the other side of spirituality when one of my high school friends gifted me tarot cards. then i got curious about the 78 tarot cards, as well as witches and the history of it all. luckily, it was also when a captivating Netflix series called Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, an adaptation of Sabrina the Teenage Witch, with mythology and Shakespeare references. how can an English major and literature lover like myself stay away from it? of course, i also started reading lots of books and articles related to magic, witches, and spiritual practices. you gotta enjoy being a woman in the 21st century and not directly being executed for being interested in something while you can, right?

today, i want to share some of the notes i took while doing research on this matter. so here are my witchy notes from the witch handbooks i read and came across.

days and their spiritual meanings

according to spiritual practices, many religions, and mythology, every single day has a different energy. each day has a concept it represents, a special power, a specific scent, and more.

sunday

sunday represents creativity, hope, optimism, and healing. in alignment with the common belief, sunday really is the day of resting, recharging, rewiring your mind with positivity, and spending time with yourself and your loved ones.

• ruled by the Sun
• color scheme for sunday: orange, yellow, gold
• chamomile, amber, sunflower, and cloves go really well with sunday.
• when it comes to natural stones, sunday is more about amber, topaz, citrine, and carnelian.

monday

monday comes from “moon day”. going parallel with the significance of the moon in astrology, it has a divine meaning. monday is all about intuition, beauty, home, and it is the best day for women’s rituals. us girls should really be spending our mondays wearing rose and lavender, putting on our jasmine perfumes, meditating with our moonstones and crystals but the world isn’t ready for that conversation.

• ruled by the Moon
• best colors to carry on monday: white, lavender, rose
• the natural stones that fit the energy of monday: moonstone, aquamarine (I know you thought about that Addison Rae song, me too), pearl, and quartz crystal.
• use these scents on monday: jasmine, white rose, moonwort.

tuesday

well, not gonna lie, tuesday is the “mars day”. that’s why, some beliefs say chaotic and unexpected events can take place on this day. however, tuesday is a great day for the concepts mars rules, such as career, sensuality, and physical activity in general.

• ruled by Mars
• of course, being the “mars day”, the color of tuesday is rightfully red. tuesday is second on the list to own the color red, right after Taylor Swift.
• the natural stones for tuesday are ruby, bloodstone, carnelian, and pink tourmaline.
• red roses, pepper, garlic, and pine are great plants and herbs to use on tuesdays.

wednesday

in Sabrina Carpenter‘s famous words in her hit song Manchild, oh boy. you must be familiar with wednesday’s notoriety from the hit Netflix series Wednesday, starring Jenna Ortega. back to mythology, wednesday is “Odin’s Day”. it is ruled by mercury and Chiron. they say people born on wednesday tend to be weird, anxious, and somehow restless in a spiritual way. however, mercury comes bearing gifts. wednesday is a great day for writing, effective communication, intellectual pursuits, and public speaking. i really want to drag Donald Trump saying except you are him, then nothing actually works but he was born during a lunar eclipse and people born during lunar eclipses are natural leaders. i just wish he chose to use his Gemini wit for good.

• ruled by Mercury
• the best colors to use on wednesdays are green, light blue, yellow, and orange.
• the natural stones for wednesday are aventurine, sodalite, and opal. (sleepless in the onyx night, but now the sky is opalite!!!!!!)
• for scents, use cinnamon, sweet pea, and dill on wednesdays.

thursday

thursday is my favorite day. i get the best vibes from it. thursday is considered lucky and abundant in almost every belief and some religions. thursday is ruled by Jupiter, the planet of luck and it is a great day for business, politics, good fortune, material wealth, and legal affairs. some even choose not to cut their nails or hair on thursday to avoid shaking off Jupiter’s blessings and luck.

• ruled by Jupiter
• choose the colors purple, blue, and turquoise on thursdays.
• the natural stones for thursday are amethyst, sapphire, and turquoise.
• for herbs and incense to use on thursdays, check out cedar, oak, saffron, and cinnamon.

friday

the name of friday actually comes from the Old English, meaning the “day of Frig”, in other words, the day that Freya rules. Freya is the goddess of love, Odin’s wife in Norse mythology, the Nordic Venus. that’s why, friday represents beauty, fertility, sex, love, partnerships, art, music, and friendships. friday is a great day to have sex and cuddle with your lover.

also, friday is considered to be a sacred day in one of the religions, Islam. Muslims come together and say a special prayer on this day. according to Islam and The Prophet Muhammad, the day of judgment will be on a friday.

• ruled by Venus
• the special colors for friday are pink, violet, and shades of green.
• the natural stones for friday are rose quartz, emerald, pink tourmaline, and jade.
• plants and herbs for friday are apple, pink rose, ivy, rose, lily, and sage.

saturday

saturday is the saturn day. so, it represents protection, family, discipline, duty, manifestation, and completion, just like saturn itself. saturday is again a great day to take care of your family, clarify your duties and discipline yourself, as well as manifesting.

• ruled by Saturn
• if you love wearing black, saturday is the day for it.
• black onyx, obsidian, amethyst, and smoky quartz are the natural stones for saturday.
• when it comes to plants and herbs for saturday: mandrake, ivy, oak, rue, and moss. however, be careful as many saturn herbs are believed to be toxic! (I learned this from the Witches’ Spell Book by Cerridwen Greenleaf).
