Making Magic on Monday

Most Pagans at least consider the phase of the moon when starting their magical works, but how about using the days of the week to give it an even stronger boost?  Each day of the week has specific correspondences and associations that can be worked with.  Though your work can be done at any time, taking note of the moon phases and the day of the week (even the time of day, but we'll get to that another day) can strengthen the power of your work, sharpening your intent into a finer point.

And not just magical works can benefit by working with the days of the week.  Some days rule over creativity, making travel plans, healing, etc..  If you have specific mundane work that needs done during the week, check and see which day would be best for doing that as well!
