    Wednesday, named after Odin.

    Title: The Cunning God
    Viking name: Odin
    Saxon name: Woden or Wotan
    Relations: Father of Thor, Tyr and Balder
    Day of week: Wednesday

    Odin was the chief and father of the gods.He had a wonderful horse called Sleipnir, which had eight legs, and could travel over land and water. He had two ravens, who brought him news from far away.

    He was born from Ymir, the creation giant, and made Middle Earth from his body. He also built Asgard.

    Odin only had one eye. He gave the other for a drink from a spring of water called Mimir, under Yggdrasill, the World Tree. If you drink from the spring, you will get wisdom and understanding. So Odin became the cleverest of the gods. He invented Runes, the secret writing of the Saxons and Vikings, which not only stored knowledge, but could be used for magic.

    Will it be Wednesday all day, or is it early closing
    Frequent but moderate workouts on a consistent basis are the key to success
