Slayn Bacon I thought it was only certain times of the month on saturday....oh well, where did you find out your into? I study norse mythology and teutonic legends, primarily the Volsung Saga and Gods, so I came across that in one of the books, umm...simply titled Norse Mythology. Its also metioned in the poetic edda

uhuh...
hmm, its a generic book, kind of the bone basics of the subject
Myths of The Norsemen: From the Edda's and Saga's
by H.A. Greuber
on another note, in the Gylfangining it also aludes to a unamed day for worship to the...hanged gods foe. If your interested ill give you a list of books about the subject.
**completly exited to be talking bout norse myths**

Cursed ring, and Thor's Journey to Utgard.
Cursed ring gets major points from being the bases for The Lord of the Rings and such but still Thors Journey is amazing so yeah
