Aratron
Saturn
This governor has in his power what Saturn rules: that is, what comes from the metals and stones and their likenesses. He gives familiar spirits, teaches alchemy, and makes a man invisible. He makes the earth fruitful, heals sickness, gives a long life. He gives a man a new form and face. He makes a man well-favored, wins the grace of princes and lords, reconciles spirits of the air, who give true answers, transport stones and other things from one place to another, brings familiars, and teaches all sciences. In short, he gives power over all creatures under Saturn.
His spirit must be invoked each Saturday morning in the first hour, when the sun rises in the sign of Saturn.
Jordan Maxwell
Judaism is nothing more than the worship of an ancient planet called Saturn. In the ancient Phoenician-Canaanite system, the word for Saturn was El. Today, El in the Bible is translated as God to the Hebrews, but El was the planet Saturn. Jews are worshiping the planet Saturn.

Note: this connection appears in Philo of Byblos (1st–2nd century CE), who reports that the Phoenician god El/Elus was equated with Kronos. Kronos was, in turn, associated with Saturn by the Greeks and Romans. In the original Phoenician-Canaanite system, El was not the name for Saturn. El was the high god. Only in later Greco-Roman reinterpretations was El (through Kronos) linked with Saturn.
“The Star of David is a hexagon, a six-pointed star within a circle, known as the star of Saturn. Ancient Babylonians drew a circle with a triangle inside, then another triangle inverted, forming a six-pointed star. Jews wear this star, thinking it’s the Star of David, but it’s the star of Saturn.”

Edgar Cayce about Saturn
“Saturn’s influences have made for rather those test periods, and those experiences where the mental attitude necessary had to be expressed or manifested in order for the entity to remain steady.” (322-2)
“Saturn has made for a great many changes that have been eminent, though not often made in the entity’s experience. The desire to do this and the desire to do that, and the attempt to make this association and that association, in all its various activities, arise from those innate urges from the sojourn of the entity in same.” (914-1)
Rudolf Steiner’s Saturn
In Rudolf Steiner’s lecture “Saturn” is described in a unique, esoteric manner, quite different from the conventional astronomical understanding of the planet. Steiner’s concept of “Saturn” refers to an ancient phase of cosmic evolution, part of his broader anthroposophical cosmology.
Ancient Saturn as a Stage of Evolution
In Steiner’s cosmology, “Ancient Saturn” is not the physical planet we know today, but rather the first stage in the evolutionary sequence of the Earth. This stage precedes the Ancient Sun, Ancient Moon, and our current Earth stages.
Constitution of Ancient Saturn
According to Steiner, Ancient Saturn consisted solely of warmth. It was a state or condition characterized by a kind of spiritual warmth, different from our current physical understanding of heat. This warmth is described as the only ‘substance’ or element present in that phase.
Spiritual Significance
Steiner emphasizes that Ancient Saturn’s existence and nature can be understood through clairvoyant investigation, rather than physical observation. It represents a stage of spiritual and cosmic development, where the physical aspects we associate with planets today did not exist.
Role of the Elohim
The Elohim, or high-ranking spiritual beings in Steiner’s spiritual hierarchy, were active during this phase. Their activity in the Ancient Saturn stage laid the foundations for the subsequent stages of cosmic evolution.
Warmth and Soul-Spiritual Essence
Steiner connects the concept of warmth on Ancient Saturn with a soul-spiritual essence. He suggests that to understand the nature of Ancient Saturn, one needs to think of warmth not just physically but as something more akin to a soul quality or spiritual presence.
Genesis and Ancient Saturn
Steiner also relates the concept of Ancient Saturn to the Book of Genesis in the Bible. He interprets the early verses of Genesis as an esoteric account of the Ancient Saturn stage, where the spiritual essence of the Elohim spreads out as warmth.
Anthroposophical Understanding
It’s important to recognize that Steiner’s description of Ancient Saturn is part of his anthroposophical worldview, which integrates spiritual science, esoteric knowledge, and a unique interpretation of Christian theology.
In summary, Steiner’s concept of “Saturn” is a spiritual and metaphysical one, integral to his understanding of the Earth’s and humanity’s spiritual evolution.
It is a phase of existence that is more related to spiritual development and consciousness than to physical planetary bodies in the conventional sense.
The Nabataean Agriculture
Saturn, often associated with melancholy and coldness, could be considered influential in the planting of crops that favored cooler weather or required long gestation periods.
Kaiwan (Chiun)
A star god associated with Saturn, worshiped by some Israelites (Amos 5:26, sometimes translated as “Sikkuth”).
Roman Religion – Saturnus
In Roman religion, Saturnus (Saturn) was the god of agriculture, time, renewal, and abundance. He was associated with sowing and harvest, symbolizing prosperity and the cyclical nature of seasons.
Saturnus was linked to the mythical Golden Age, a time of peace and plenty under his rule.
His major festival, the Saturnalia, celebrated in December, involved feasting, gift-giving, and social equality.
He was often depicted as an older man with a sickle or scythe. Saturnus was equated with the Greek god Cronus, though his Roman worship emphasized agricultural fertility over the Greek titan’s darker aspects. His temple in the Roman Forum housed the state treasury, reflecting his association with wealth.
Saturnalia
Saturnalia was an ancient Roman festival held in honor of the god Saturnus, typically celebrated in mid-to-late December, around the winter solstice. It was one of the most important and popular festivals in Roman religion, marking a time of renewal, abundance, and social revelry. Originally a one-day event, it expanded to a week-long celebration (December 17–23) by the late Republic.
- Public and private feasts: Banquets and communal meals were central, symbolizing abundance.
- Social role reversal: Slaves were temporarily treated as equals, often dining with their masters, and masters might serve them.
- Gift-giving: Romans exchanged gifts like candles, figurines, or small tokens, fostering goodwill.
- Merriment and freedom: The festival was marked by relaxed social norms, gambling, drinking, and public festivities.
- Religious rituals: Offerings and sacrifices were made at the Temple of Saturn in the Roman Forum.
Saturnalia celebrated the mythical Golden Age under Saturnus’ rule, a time of prosperity and equality. Its traditions influenced later winter festivals, including some aspects of modern Christmas celebrations.
The Golden Age under Saturnus
In Roman mythology, the Golden Age under Saturnus’ rule was a legendary period of peace, prosperity, and harmony, believed to have occurred in primordial times. It was characterized by:
- Abundance: The earth provided plentiful resources without the need for hard labor, as crops grew spontaneously.
- Peace and justice: There was no war, crime, or inequality; people lived in harmony and simplicity.
- Equality: Social hierarchies were absent, and humans lived free from toil or oppression.
- Connection to Saturnus: As the god of agriculture and renewal, Saturnus was seen as the divine ruler who presided over this idyllic era, fostering fertility and well-being.
This concept, adapted from the Greek myth of the Golden Age under Cronus, was idealized in Roman literature by poets like Virgil and Ovid. It served as a nostalgic contrast to later ages of decline (Silver, Bronze, and Iron Ages). The Saturnalia festival commemorated this lost era, temporarily reviving its spirit of equality and abundance through feasting and social role reversal.
Virgil, a prominent Roman poet, often alluded to the Golden Age in his works, particularly in the context of Saturnus’ reign and its anticipated return under Roman rule.
“Now the last age of Cumae’s prophecy has come; The great cycle of ages is born anew. Now the Virgin returns, the reign of Saturn returns; A new generation descends from heaven on high.” (Translation adapted for clarity)
Eclogues (Eclogue 4, lines 6–10)
Virgil, a prominent Roman poet, often alluded to the Golden Age in his works, particularly in the context of Saturnus’ reign and its anticipated return under Roman rule. In this passage, Virgil describes a new Golden Age heralded by the birth of a child, often interpreted as a hopeful vision of Rome’s future under Augustus, echoing Saturnus’ earlier reign.
“First, from heavenly Olympus, Saturn came, Fleeing Jove’s wrath, exiled from his realm. He ruled the scattered folk on lofty hills, And gave them laws; he called that land Latium, For there he found safe haven.” (Translation adapted for clarity)
Aeneid (Book 8, lines 319–325)
King Evander describes Italy’s early history to Aeneas, mentioning Saturnus’ arrival and establishment of a peaceful era. This passage portrays Saturnus as a civilizing figure who brought order and prosperity to Latium, initiating the Golden Age.
Ovid, another key Roman poet, vividly describes the Golden Age in his Metamorphoses, emphasizing its contrast with later, degenerate ages.
“The Golden Age was first, when man, yet free, Lived simply, without need of law or force. No punishment or fear existed then; No harsh decrees were carved on brazen plates. The earth itself, without compulsion, gave All things in plenty: fruits and fertile fields, And milk and honey flowed beneath sweet oaks.” (Translation adapted for clarity)
Metamorphoses (Book 1, lines 89–112)
Ovid outlines the ages of mankind, beginning with the Golden Age under Saturnus, marked by simplicity and virtue. Ovid idealizes the Golden Age as a time of natural abundance and moral purity, directly tied to Saturnus’ rule, where humans lived in harmony with nature.
“When Saturn was cast down to shadowy Tartarus, Jove’s rule began; the Silver Age arose, Inferior to gold, yet better than bronze.” (Translation adapted for clarity)
Metamorphoses (Book 1, lines 125–150)
This marks the end of Saturnus’ Golden Age, with his overthrow by Jupiter (Jove) signaling a decline into less prosperous times.
Is Saturn really sending negative frequencies?
F:At one point there was an ancient cult of Saturn —what you might call Satanic worship —that directed negative energy toward Earth. The hexagonal storm on Saturn has been used for this purpose, sending disharmonious frequencies. This has now been dismantled, but it was once a portal into Earth.
