Wednesday
Mercury's Day · Calendrical Exchange · The Week in a Translating Register
Wednesday is where Mercury enters ordinary time: the weekly recurrence of messages, contracts, errands, learning, trade, travel, cleverness, and the quick movement between separated points.

The weekday gives Mercury a rhythm
Wednesday makes the Mercurial current recur in the calendar. It is not only a name for a day; it is a repeating threshold for communication, study, trade, errands, writing, negotiation, and technical adjustment.
Historical caution
The strongest historical claim is the planetary weekday naming pattern. Later magical, commercial, and devotional Wednesday uses belong to reception layers and should not be treated as one origin story.
Modern use
Modern practitioners often use Wednesday for communication, learning, commerce, messages, divination, and quick problem-solving. Those uses are coherent inside the Mercury lane when named as application rather than proof.
