Hera and the days of the week
« on: July 06, 2011, 03:30:06 pm »
As I said in the "What practice looks like?" thread, I'm not doing any religous practice lately. After reading that thread, I thought I should start doing something again, even if it seems meaningless. And I decided to do something weekly or at least monthly for each of the deities I worship.

I want to do something weekly for Hera, but I've no idea what day of the week would be better for Her. Does any of you have a weekly practice in which you include Hera? If so, which day do you dedicate to Her?

If you don't, but you had to pick a fitting day of the week for Her, what day would it be? And if you do or would have to do something for Her monthly, which day of the month would you choose?

Hmm, I don't know about which day of the week is most appropriate. Honestly, I don't think it matters very much, as long as you're consistent.

I often honour Hera Teleia on the full moon, myself. I've never come across an ancient source that says to do so, but it makes sense to me.

I can't think of any source material that indicates She favors one day of the week over others. I suspect you could just select a day of the week that feels right to you.

Thanks, Carnelian and Randall. I had the idea of honoring Her on the full moon too, but I wasn't sure about it. It's good to know I'm not the only one. From that, I thought it may be ok to honor Her on Mondays. I'll see how that goes. :)

I normally honor Her on Thursdays together with Zeus. This is based on UPG from being a Spanish-speaker where Thursday is Jupiter's day and of course as goddess of marriage I think it's best to honor Her together with Her husband.

My guess is, she should be honored in those days of the week when the family or the couple is gathered in the house, on leisure-days and such.
