Mercury God (Night) The planetary deity for Wednesday (Night)

Shiva is created from a skull with 12 heads (some scriptures say 12 ghost spirits) ground into powder, wrapped in a golden cloth, sprinkled with amrita to become Rahu. It has a dark blue body leaning towards copper, with Garuda as its vehicle. It resides in a dark blue palace in the sky, located in the northwest direction. It is a malefic planet of the nine planets, associated with indulgence and obsession. It is friendly with Saturn and hostile to Mercury. The symbol is the number 8, with planetary power totaling 12.
