The magic of Wednesday; Amplify your spells with the energy of the day

Every day of the week has it’s own magic and energy you can harness to influence your life and magical practices and in this blog series we are going to talk about them all. Next up, we are going to talk about the energy and magic you can align with on Wednesday. Wednesday is the third day of the week in most cultures and calendars. Others view it as the fourth day of the week while in some Muslim cultures it’s the fifth day.

The word Wednesday comes from the Old English Wēdnesdæg, which literally means “Woden’s day”. Woden was the name of the chief god of the Germanic people in ancient northern Europe, who are now usually referred to as Odin. Wednesday is also sometimes called “hump day” because it’s in the middle of the work week. This term originated around 1965 and implies that once Wednesday is over, the weekend is in sight

Wednesday is ruled by the planet Mercury

For pagans and witches, every single day of the week is ruled by a planet and Wednesday is ruled by the planet mercury. Mercury is the smallest planet in our solar system and the closest to the sun. Mercury is named after the swift Roman god because it moves very quickly around the sun. In most depictions the planet, appears as a light gray color with some brownish-red streaks. Mercury is the planet that rules communication. All forms of communication from thought, speech, writing, networking, looking for information, divination, and communication thru art. Not only does it rule communication but, its very quick in it’s thinking as well and how it affects us. Mercury is also a unique planet and energy for us to connect to, as it is one of only two gender neutral planets in the solar system.

Magic and Witchcraft themes

When it comes to magic and witchcraft you can certainly cast spells whenever you need them. But, if you want a little extra oomph, and when you want to amplify your results, aligning your spell casting with the correct day of the week is one way to do that. Since, Wednesday is associated with Mercury, it is the ideal day for spells to enhance communication, learning, travel, business success, boosting memory, gaining clarity, seeking wisdom, and decision-making. Cast a spell for improved communication and clarity of thought today for a much more focused mind the rest of the week.

Work with and balance your throat chakra

Like stated many times above Wednesday is a day steeped in the energy of communication. How do we communicate? Where in our energy system do we get the ability to speak? The throat chakra! This makes Wednesday the best day to work with and balance your throat chakra. But, first what is your throat chakra.

Your throat chakra is located over your throat in the middle of your neck. It’s blue in color and governs how you speak to others and how you speak of yourself. Communication is the key aspect of the throat chakra and relates to ALL forms of communication including writing and music. It’s how you express (or don’t) express your truth. If your throat chakra is functioning well, you communicate your feelings and needs with others in a healthy manner AND express your true self.

The Vishuddha, or throat chakra, gives voice to the heart chakra and controls our ability to communicate our personal power. When it’s functioning at full capacity, it allows us to express ourselves truly and clearly. Someone with a blocked throat chakra will feel like they have trouble finding the words to say how they truly feel.

Today is a great day to resolve issues with those you love by having a conversation. This even includes those you may have no communication with at all.

Grind and mix the herb blend and roll your candle coated in honey in the blend continuing to hold your intention.
