Curious. We celebrate seven days with the names of four Viking gods.... Tiw, Woden, Thor & Freye; the moon, the sun..... & Saturn! Saturn is the roman version of the ancient God Cronus who is older than time itself. Saturnine refers to the mood of melancholy... of sadness... the sadness I feel when I think of the turning of the great wheel of time & how insignificant I feel in the face of the great significance in which with joy I choose to manifest. The planet Saturn travels around the sun every 29 years. Our life is governed by three orbits of this mysterious ringed orb at the far edge of the inner solar system. 29, 58, 87 the three ages of life. I am at the end of the second age... two orbits of the planet Saturn. Every winter at the time of the solstice the Romans celebrated the return of the sun with a week of ecstatic dancing in honour of Saturn. They called it the Saturnalia. Saturday.... Saturn's day.
