Primitive people seeking to construct an astral religion under present conditions would end up worshipping the sun and moon, and possibly Venus. And yet, the two chieftain gods of every one of those old religions were Jupiter and Saturn, and not the sun or moon. In fact, articles appearing in the Journal of Assyriology in the early 1900s noted that pretty much all of the names associated with the sun in the ancient Near East were names which had originally been associated with Saturn and had afterwards been switched.
Vestiges of that ancient reality are still all around us. We still call our sabbath “Saturn’s Day”; the chief Roman religious festival was called “Saturnalia”; Plato consistently refers to antediluvians as “Nurselings of Cronos(Saturn)”, and numerous classical authors refer to Saturn having presided over a “Golden Age” of sorts on Earth. Occult religious practices which we read about were originally meant to try to restore that Golden Age.
