Saturn & Judaism - Metaphysics of the Gods by B R Taylor

B.R. Taylor’s work (Metaphysics of the Gods) explores the astrological, mythological, and esoteric connections between the planet Saturn and Judeo-religious traditions. The book argues that:

Saturn (Kronos in Greek, El in Canaanite myth) was originally an Aryan cosmic archetype later appropriated and distorted by Semitic cultures.

Judaism’s "God of Israel" (Yahweh/Jehovah) assimilated Saturnian attributes, including:

Time, judgment, and restriction (Saturn as "Lord of Karma").

The "Sabbath" (Saturday = Saturn’s day) as a ritual of control.

The "Black Cube" of Saturn (symbolizing materialism and limitation) became a key Judaic symbol (e.g., Kaaba in Islam, Tefillin in Judaism).

Taylor’s research suggests:

Vedic & Indo-European Saturn

In Hinduism, Shani (Saturn) is a stern but just deity linked to karma and discipline.

Iranian Zurvanism (pre-Zoroastrian) worshipped Zurvan (Time), a Saturn-like primordial god.

Germanic traditions associated Saturn with Tiwaz (Tyr), a god of law and sacrifice.

Semitic Appropriation

Canaanite El (later Yahweh) absorbed Saturnian traits from Aryan-influenced Mesopotamian cults.

Babylonian Ninurta (Saturn god) was merged into Jewish angelology (e.g., Archangel Cassiel).

The Golden Calf (Exodus 32) may represent a Saturnian bull cult suppressed by Moses.

Saturn in Judaism as a Tool of Control

Talmudic Saturn (Shabbatai) is tied to fate, suffering, and legalism.

The "Demiurge" in Gnosticism (Yaldabaoth) is a corrupt Saturnian demi-god.

Modern Jewish Freemasonry & Kabbalah use Saturnian cube symbolism for elite manipulation.

3. Evidence Cited for Aryan Origins
Archaeology: Swastikas (solar symbols) found in Indo-European sites predate Jewish use of Saturn imagery.

Linguistics: The root "KR" (Kronos, Kaaba, Karma) appears in Sanskrit, Greek, and Germanic lore.

Mythology: Compare Vedic Shani’s fairness vs. Yahweh’s wrath—Taylor argues the latter is a corruption.

Deep Comparative Mythology – Connects Vedic, Greco-Roman, and Semitic traditions.

Anti-Kabbalist Perspective – Exposes how Saturnian magic is used in Talmudic ritual.

Challenges Mainstream Narratives – Rejects the idea that Judaism developed in isolation.
