Note M — THE LAIDLEY WORM OF SPINDLESTON HEUGH.

It may be necessary to mention, that the imaginary deities of the Saxons were named Woden, Tuisco, Thor, Frea, and Seator. They also worshipped the sun and moon. Woden was their god of war; and from him Ida and his descendants professed to spring. We need hardly add that it is after these objects of pagan worship that we still name the days of the week; as Woden’s day (Wednesday), Thor’s day (Thursday), Frea’s day (Friday), &c. &c.
