For three years now, every time I sit with/work with Saturn (Roman, not Astrological), I’ve heard “I’m the God of your ancient ancestors.”

For three years, I’ve been trying to find anything that says “Saturn (Satre) was originally an Etruscan God.”

When I read this, my blood went cold. 👀

Passiflora is a genus of over 600 spp., 95% of which are native to the Americas (5% Australasia). They are mostly lianas with tendrils (which are modified shoots); leaves have glands; flowers have a stalked stamens + ovary (androgynophore). This is P. bahamensis. #Passifloraceae #Botany 🌾🧪🌱

One of my panelists just translated Macrobius’ “Saturnus pudenda Caeli patris abscidens” as “Saturn snipping the sack of his father Heaven.”

Took a break from writing to draw Saturn and Kronos for @graveyardgranny.bsky.social last night so I can visually explain the difference between the two Gods (from my spiritual practice perspective AND because they are characters in my novel) and we haven’t stopped screaming since.

“My name is Sam Giacalone. I started writing a book about Saturn, and I woke up in 1600 BCE Latium, Italy. Am I mad, in a coma, or back in time? Whatever’s happened, it’s like I’ve landed on a different planet. Now, maybe if I can work out the reason, I can get home.”

There’s Greek Kronos, there’s Latium Saturn, and then there’s astrological Saturn and I think that’s where them soft, melancholy boys merge and become Super Saiyan and go crazy.

First day back at my desk after four days of wilting and writhing in bed due to food poisoning or stomach bug. This is the longest I’ve been upright.

Anyway, going back to my novel 😌🤌

I’m sorry but this has become a “Saturn, King of Latium Before Greek Intervention” fan account.

Saddened to hear about Starcadian. Thinking about their family and loved ones. 🥺
