Saturn is Jaldabaoth, the Demiurge of Gnosticism (Extended)

“All secrets are in Saturn.“ -- Pythagoras “Origen (Contra Celsum, VI, xxxi), referring to the Ophitic system, gives us the names of the seven archons as Jaldabaoth, Jao, Sabaoth, Adonais, Astaphaios, Ailoaios, and Oraios, and tells us that Jaldabaoth is the planet Saturn. Astaphaios is beyond doubt the planet Venus, as there are gnostic gems with a female figure and the legend AETAOH, which name is also used in magic spells as the name of a goddess. In the Mandaean system Adonaios represents the Sun . . . It is safe, therefore, to take the above seven Gnostic names as designating the seven stars, then considered planets, Jaldabaoth -- Child of Chaos, called ’the Lion-faced) is the outermost and therefore the chief ruler, and later on the Demiurge par excelence.“ --The Catholic Encyclopedia
