§

In the ageless wisdom Yhwh, the god of the Jews, is identified with Saturn.1 This makes sense when it is considered that the Jews consider Yhwh as wrathful,2, 3 for equally 'wrathful', so to speak, is Saturn as the lord of karma.4 Saturn being according to the ageless wisdom a third ray planet strengthens this identification when the Jews as worshippers of Yhwh are considered as a third ray people.5

Now sometimes Saturn is also identified with, or perhaps rather personified as, Satan.6, 7, 8 Here however a nuance should be inserted, one which was left out in the previous publications. Satan and Saturn are one, but they are so in the same way as two sides of the same medal are one. Satan and Saturn are one in the same way as choice and karma are one,9, 10 whereby Satan tempts to bad actions and Saturn mediates unpleasant reactions.11, 12 Satan himself does not punish and Saturn himself does not tempt, but their workings are inextricably connected to each other. And of this, Yhwh bears witness.

That Yhwh bears witness of both Satan's tempting and Saturn's punishing can be deduced from the Old Testament where we see Yhwh in both roles of tempter and punisher. Yhwh tests his worshippers (and tests always include temptations), and he also punishes those who fail his tests.13

So although it is possible to fairly discriminate between Satan and Saturn, both are nevertheless one in Yhwh. Satan and Saturn are, so can be concluded from the above, Yhwh's two faces.

"These Angels are the natural Guardians of the seven Regions of our Planetary System, one of the most powerful among these seven creating Angels of the third order being "Saturn," the presiding genius of the Planet, and the God of the Hebrew people: namely, Jehovah, who was venerated among the Jews, and to whom they dedicated the seventh day or Sabbath, Saturday – "Saturn's day" among the Scandinavians and also among the Hindus."

"First: Saturn is the Lord of Karma, the imposer of retribution and the one who demands full payment of all debts and who therefore condemns us to the struggle for existence, both from the form side and from the soul side."
  5. 'Ageless Wisdom, The Jews', Index: 202505271. "It is here also interesting to consider the goat as the symbol of Satan. For Jews worship Yhwh, who is identified with Saturn (the ruler of Capricorn), who is identified with Satan. Satan, the representation of evil on our planet, regards the third ray planet Saturn, regards the ruler of the (third ray) constellation Capricorn, which rules the Jews as a third ray people, who wander on the planet Earth, which in turn is a third ray planet."

"It is "Satan who is the god of our planet and the only god," and this without any allusive metaphor to its wickedness and depravity. For he is one with the Logos, "the first son, eldest of the gods," in the order of microcosmic (divine) evolution; Saturn (Satan), astronomically, "is the seventh and last in the order of macrocosmic emanation, being the circumference of the kingdom of which Phœbus (the light of wisdom, also the Sun) is the centre." The Gnostics were right, then, in calling the Jewish god an angel of matter," or he who breathed (conscious) life into Adam, and he whose planet was Saturn."
