Digital Altar: Saturn 🪐
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Saturn, sixth planet from the Sun, you who revolves along a high and long orbit, you who governs ambition and authority, duty and discipline, responsibility and reality. By your name and your path, I ask you guide me through life. By your rings and your sphere, I ask you shape me to be strong. Saturn, I pray to you by your being to help me in this that I have asked of you.

"So far the picture has been largely negative, a picture that already in antiquity met with resistance: parricide, infanticide — even cannibalism — rebellion in a ruthless struggle for power, a complete absence of moral standards, and lawlessness: all these elements were spotted and — sometimes — condemned. Kronos’ stock epithet ankulometes — possibly meaning ‘with the curved sickle’ originally — was generally interpreted as ‘with crooked tricks’ or ‘devious’, a negative description; his actions were part of the unbridled excesses of a distant past, his punishment seemed just, his time was over. …
Yet all this is only one side of the matter. There is another, which is the diametrical opposite of this negative picture. Kronos is king, or to express it more strongly ‘Kronos is the king’. The title basileus (king) is stereotypical from Hesiod until late antiquity. Strikingly, Julian, Conviv. 317 D, still makes a distinction between Kronos and Zeus: ‘O, King Kronos and Father Zeus’. Kronos is even presented as the one who introduced the principle of kingship. Hesiod (Th. 486) calls him ‘the first king’ and as late as Byzantine times an author says: ‘Kronos introduced kingship.’ That nothing negative is implied by the term basileus is apparent from another epithet: megas (great), with which he is qualified in the Iliad, as well as by Hesiod. On the contrary, Kronos’ kingdom, which usually is visualised as existing on earth, was a realm of peace, justice and prosperity. Pindar so strongly associated such benefits with human kingship that he calls the abode whither the pious travel after death, a king’s ‘tower’ (O1.2.125vv). Such references bring us to the topic of the famous Saturnia regna or ‘life at the time of Kronos’, as the Athenians called the happy period under Pisistratos (Aristotle Athenaion Politeia 17.5), the Golden Age at the beginning of time, now irrevocably in the past.
This image, too, is familiar even to Hesiod. In his description of the races of men, which perhaps also was derived from oriental myth and seems to have been a tradition unknown to Homer, he says everything began with the Golden Race (Works and Days 109-26): people lived like gods, without worry, exertion or suffering. They were not bothered by old age: their limbs were eternally young and they revelled happily (115). Death came like sleep. The earth yielded fruit of its own accord, abundantly and plentifully, and people lived contentedly in the midst of peace and profusion. After their disappearance from the face of the earth they became good daimones, guardians of mortals and bestowers of wealth (126). This marks the beginning of a rich tradition of utopianism and ‘wishing-time’ with which Kronos is closely associated; this, too, since Hesiod, for according to him the people of the Golden Race lived when Kronos was king in Heaven (Worksand Days 111).
The tradition of making this utopian time Kronos’ era can be followed from the Alkmaeonis, via Empedocles and the Inachos of Sophocles (alone among tragedies); the theme widens in Old Comedy, as is shown especially in Athenaeus 6.267E ff. In Old Comedy the motif of abundance, of a ‘land of Cockaigne’ receives particular attention; there are descriptions of primeval eras, of Pluto’s underworld, and of the far-away land of the Persians, who generally were notorious for their excess and luxury. In connection with this motif and partly as a reaction to it as well, there arose in the fourth century a remarkable alternative, possibly under the influence of Antisthenes. According to Plato, Kronos’ realm is not one of superabundance. On the contrary, it is a realm of simplicity, indeed, of the simplicity of animals. Here bliss is defined ethically and justice is the code-word; this theme blossomed in Latin literature, particularly under the influence of Cynics and the like, as rejection and condemnation of the decadent luxury of real life. This rejection led to the development of a peculiar ambiguity in the appreciation of, and accordingly in the ‘setting’ of the ‘natural, wild existence’. When the natural, wild existence was portrayed as unbridled and inhuman, it was placed before the realm of Kronos/Saturnus, which brought moral standards, justice and civilisation. Alternatively the era of Kronos/Saturnus itself was the wild life, but then ‘wild’ had the sense of the simple, natural, but not bestial — a life without the complexities of civilisation. ...
This highly selective survey offers a remarkably ambiguous, even contradictory, picture. Kronos is, on one hand, the god of an inhumanly cruel era without ethical standards; on the other he is the king of a Golden Age of abundance, happiness and justice. He is the loser who has been exiled, chained and enslaved, but also the great king par excellence, who has been liberated and rules supreme. His realm is thought to have existed either before historical times, or after time, i.e. in death. It was sometimes situated on the earth, sometimes deep down in the earth, sometimes at the edge of the world."

Given I drew this card again, I'm going to take some time to sit with the healing it offers and some of the wisdom in the card meaning, and see if I can figure out why it's come up again. Maybe I'll do a deeper post on that later, but I have some spellwork to plan and Baphomet/Saturnus has been instructing me, so. I'd better get to that work.
