"... Saturn does give the measures: this is the essential point. How are we to reconcile it with Saturn the First King, the ruler of the Golden Age who is now asleep at the outer confines of the world?

The conflict is only apparent, as will be seen. For now it is essential to recognize that, whether one has to do with the Mesopotamian Saturn, Enki / Ea, or with Ptah of Egypt, he is the 'Lord of Measures' - spell it 'me' in Sumerian, 'parshu' in Akkadian, 'maat' in Egyptian. And the same goes for His Majesty, the Yellow Emperor of China - yellow, because the element earth belongs to Saturn - 'Huang-ti established everywhere the order for the sun, the moon and the stars'. The melody remains the same. It might help to understand the general idea, but particularly the lucubrations of Proclus, to have a look at the figure drawn by Kepler, which represents the moving triangle fabricated by 'Great Conjunctions', that is those of Saturn and Jupiter. One of these points needs roughly 2.400 years to move through the whole zodiac." (Hamlet's Mill)

"Fetu-tea [Pale Star = Saturn] was the king. He took to wife the dome of the sky, Te-Tapoi-o-te-ra'i, and begat stars that shine (hitihiti) and obscure, the host of twinkling stars, fetu-amoamo, and the phosphorescent stars, te fetu-pura-noa. There followed the star-fishes, Maa-atai, and two trigger-fishes that eat mist and dwell in vacant spots in the Milky Way, the Vai-ora or Living-water of Tane. The handsome shark Fa'a-rava-i-te-ra'i, Sky-shade, is there in his pool and close by is Pirae-tea, White Sea-swallow (Deneb in Cygnus) in the Living-waters of Tane." (Makemson)
