Let's talk Laugardagr, being clean and having hygiene.
I'll start with, I apologize if this offends you for some reason, as unfortunately it has before.

I commonly see the days of the week posted quite regularly in Norse Pagan groups,
Sunnadagr
Manadagr
Tyrsdagr
Odinsdagr
Thorsdagr
Friggsdagr
And
Saturns Day.
Wait thats not right...
I see this all the time, everyone puts Saturns Day, and the entirety of Laugardagr is just tossed to the side.
So today, the reason i want to speak on it, of course is knowledge, since many people dont know of Laugardagr.

Laugardagr is Wash Day. The day to get clean, wash yourself, wash your clothes. And just be clean, because that was an important thing to the culture. The Norse people, Vikings ect, weren't dirty hobos. They valued their cleanliness. And so should you.
And this is why I prefaced the beginning with the sorry if this offends, because in my experience, going to events, Blóts, festivals ect. I see, and have met so many Norse Pagans that only have a fantasy concept of a Viking, being a barbarian, with unkempt hair and beard, covered in dirt, and is tbe ultimate man who doesn't need no baths! I've even met some who have directly told me "Im a Viking, Im a man so I don't need to do all that gay shit". While smelling like unwashed scrotum and feces.
Of course majority of this is men, but I've seen it with women too in all the Norse Pagan and Viking things I've attended. It's baffling.
So remember, Laugardagr (Saturday), the day to clean yourself and freshen up. Though in today's time most of us have the convenience to clean up each day and always be presentable. Comb your beard, brush your hair, throw on some deodorant, make yourself presentable, and "Be a Viking" and tackle your days everyone, and remember our ancestors valued their cleanliness.
