You might not know it, but the entire world has been worshiping Saturn for thousands of years. The cult has never stopped and its rites are still present to this day. Saturn, dubbed the “Lord of the Rings”, is the reason why we exchange rings at weddings or put halos on the heads of godly people. This article exposes the attributes of the god Saturn and the perpetuation of his cult through in pop culture.
As strange as it may seem, early astronomical traditions identify the "primeval sun" as the planet Saturn, the distant planet which the alchemists called the "best sun" and which the Babylonians, the founders of astronomy, identified as the exemplary light of heaven, the "sun"-god Shamash. ("Shamash is the planet Saturn", the astronomical texts say.) In archaic copies of Plato's Timaeus, the word for the planet Saturn is Helios, the "sun" god. Popular Greek traditions identified Saturn as Kronos.
The Greeks called it the god "Helios". The Romans called it "Sol". These familiar figures have a long history, and the more one learns about their links to the earlier cultures, the more a mystery of origins comes into focus. Long before Greek and Roman times, the Egyptians worshipped the luminary Atum or Ra, just as the Sumerians honored Utu and the Babylonians the god Shamash. Astronomers and priests celebrated this light of heaven as the "Universal Monarch," the "father" of civilization and the celestial prototype of kings.
There is no mystery as to the present astronomical associations of these figures. But more archaic traditions, coming from many and diverse cultures, identify the great "sun" gods with the motionless center of heaven, the celestial pole. They speak of a primeval sun, an exemplary or "best" sun, ruling before the present sun.
Saturn always had a negative, if not evil significance. In ancient times, it has been called “The Greater Malefic” which was opposed to Jupiter, “The Greater Benefic”. Saturn is esoterically associated with man’s limitations, restrictions, death and decay. His Greek name was “Kronos”, the ruler of time, time being the main factore inevitably leading to the death of mortals.Traditional representations of the “grim reaper” originate from the attributes of the god Saturn, who held the sickle with which he slain his father.
It is interesting that Saturn’s symbol is the 6-pointed star, Saturn is the 6th planet from the sun, Saturn-day is the 6th day of the week, and now NASA is receiving images of “the Saturn Hexagon” (6-sided) atmospheric formation at Saturn’s poles. The 6th chakra of the human energy system is the 3rd eye/pineal gland (6, 3 times = 666). When your 3rd eye chakra opens you develop your 6th sense of intuition and spirituality. From a consciousness perspective, the 6th sense, your intuitions/hunches, are messengers of god, your guardian angels. Is interesting that angels have haloes/rings around their heads and Saturn is the only planet with a halo/ring around it.
Saturn has also been associated with Satan and this, for numerous reasons. First, many authors argue that the word Satan is derived from the word Saturn. Second, Saturn is associated with the color black as well as Satan. Third, Ancients considered Saturn to be the farthest planet from the sun, the latter being associated with the principle of Good. (Note that Pluto never was considered a planet). Saturn is consequently the celestial body that is the less exposed to the sun’s divine light and thus associated with the coldness of the principle of Evil. Finally, the “great god Pan,” the horned deity, represented Saturn in ancient paganism. This half-man half-goat creature is considered the ancestor of our modern depictions of Satan.
Despite acknowledging its association with Evil, secret societies find the veneration of Saturn necessary to obtain illumination. It is the necessary counterpart of the principle of Good. Masonic authors clearly associate Saturn with Satan.
The ancient name of Saturn was, as mentioned, EL. It is the reason why those that were chosen by EL, were called Elites. In fact the words, Elect, Elder, Elevated, Elohim, Temple, Circle, Gospel, Apostle, Disciple, Evangelists, etc., all derive from the Cult of EL. Angels are messengers of god. But god was EL, which is why we have the names of the Archangels bearing the ‘el,’ suffix - Raphael, Michael, Uriel, Gabriel, etc,.
The gods of EL-o-him are ang-EL-s, the messengers of god. When witches cast a spe-EL, they put the “Hex” (6) on someone, and when chefs deep fry something, they “Deep 6” it. It is the EL-ites who run the world today. El-ite comes from the “Isra-El-ites” which came from the Egyptian worship of the Moon (Isis), the Sun, (Ra), and Saturn (Elohim), hence Is-Ra-El.
The city of Rome was originally known as Saturnia or City of Saturn.
In Islamic tradition, the “Rock” is where Muhammad ascended to Heaven accompanied by the ang-el Gabri-el. The Dome of the “Rock” was built in the 600 AD era and was won back by the Israelites on 06/07/67 after the “6 day war.” The Dome’s outer walls measure 60 (6x10) feet wide and 36 (6x6) feet high. The Knights Templar claimed the Dome of the Rock was the site of the Temple of Solomon and set up their “Templum Domini” adjacent to it during the 12th century.
The black holy bible tells us Satan is 666. Saturn is the 6th planet, its symbol is a 6-pointed star, it supposedly has hexagon weather formations, and Saturn-day, the 6th day, is “Black Sabbath.”
Hey, amazing work!! You're very talented. Also, the description is incredibly fascinating. I have some weird links with the 3 digits. I have 666 within my mobile number and also debit card. I also see the number appear several times a week or sometimes day after day in the most bizarre places.. My ruling planet is also Saturn, am a goat woman lol. I dunno about all this but just makes me wonder about things. Anyhow, great art! Thanks for sharing.
Wow, it happened to me years ago, but don´t worry, the 666 is not the real number of the beast, satan and all that stuff, so if you was scared, dont have to worry at all! Thank you so much for that interesting and funny comment, i always love when people have something to say, more than the compliments! Goat woman, wow, it sounds cool, you gave an idea for the next paint! You ROCK. Thank you so much for your words!
Aha nah no worries. It doesn't bother me, I just find it pretty interesting. And it could possibly be linked to luck, according to the Chinese anyway. 666 is said to be pretty lucky so I hope I went camping some weeks ago and I looked at this vehicle in front of us on the highway and 666 was part of the number plate. I almost got a pic dammit but it drove on aha. And then I randomly came across your pic by chance this evening.. haha. I try not to analyse too much, but just simply take some notice of things. One of the most interesting times I found it was at my old work. Last year I was cleaning a high school and in my cleaner closet in the second last week before I left the job I noticed stickers used to label equipment that had been sitting around for months, but for the first time I actually took some notice. They were big black n bold number stickers against fluoro yellow backs And 666 was laying there ripe n large before my eyes. Well three big 6's in a row. Was pretty cool.. a mystery, but I can't try and analyse so whatever.. There have been many many more bizarre times but I mustn't go on. But i'm curious as to what is behind the numbers. Numbers have a great impact on all life. But yeah.. anyhow, I must shut it now. You ROCK too. ROCK ON mister!!
Goat woman, wow, it sounds cool, you gave an idea for the next paint! You ROCK. Thank you so much for your words!
