Sat Sat Sat

For some reason, that reminds me of childhood games, when I was very young and it didn't matter whether the people you played with were young or old, male or female, as long as everyone had a good time. But Saturn is Kronos as well as Chronos, the two beings conflated, and hence he is both master of scythe and hourglass, and hence of inevitable old age and doom.

And hence, by association to Haiti and the dark loa, and also to Sonnabend, and the eve of the Sun. Such darkling things are somehow related to Saturn's day.

Perhaps that's why we thank God for Friday and not so much for Saturday. But Saturday is also the Sabbath, and ought to be for contemplation and rest.
