New rule: posting one of the Golden Verses of Pythagoras each Monday.
"First, worship the Immortal Gods, as they are established and ordained by the Law."
The Demiurge is not Saturn.
Kronos/Saturn is the First God, the primordial Monad, the self-contemplating Nous who abides in perfect unity. He holds the Ideas within Himself in undivided potential. He is the Father who imparts Limit and definition, but He does not descend to mix the Logoi with hyle or actively order the cosmos from chaos. That work belongs to His Son Zeus.
The Demiurge is Solar ("[The sun is] The eye of Zeus, seeing all and understanding all..." per Works and Days). Zeus-Helios is the true Celestial Demiurge, the genuine Son of the Good, appointed by Aion the Pre-Essential Demiurge. He receives creative power from above and shapes the World Soul, directs the Logoi into matter, and brings harmonious order to all below. The visible Sun is His material vehicle and eye through which He perfects, generates, and unifies. There are distinct Demiurges for their proper spheres: Aion at the pre-essential summit, Zeus-Helios as celestial Demiurge, and the sublunar demiurge expressed in Dionysos and Asklepios who divide, purify, and restore souls in the realm of generation.
This Saturn = Demiurge idea floating around the internet is a sloppy neo-Gnostic mashup. It ignores the hierarchy and the procession of powers, and turns a paternal abiding principle into the active craftsman. Plotinus refuted this millenia ago in "Against the Gnostics":
"They fabricate these things as if they did not have contact with the ancient Hellenic tradition, even though the Greeks understood such matters clearly and spoke without pretense about ascents from the cave and the gradual progress toward a truer and truer contemplation. In general, some of their doctrines have been taken from Plato, while they have invented others with a view to establishing their own philosophy, and we have found these to be far from the truth. For the judgments and rivers in Hades and the reincarnations also come from Plato. And creating a plurality in the intelligible world, i.e. Being, Intellect, and the Demiurge who is different from Intellect and Soul, this is taken from what is said in the Timaeus, since he said: 'The maker of this universe intended that it should possess all the forms that Intellect perceives in the real Living Being.' But these people did not understand and took there to be one intellect at rest that contains all reality within itself, and another intellect next to it that contemplates, and another one that reflects. With them, it is often the creative soul that takes the place of the intellect that reflects. And they think that according to Plato this is the Demiurge, since they are far from knowing who the actual Demiurge is."
He calls their whole setup absurd and blasphemous. The cosmos is not the flawed product of a rebellious or ignorant artisan born from a fall. It is the beautiful, ordered image of the intelligible, crafted by a benevolent King whose rays extend providence through every level. The Demiurge fills us with love [Love being the first creation of Zeus and he fills every soul with "deep eros" per the Chaldean Oracles], is wholly good, and creation is a good thing: the fairest of creations by the best of causes, sung into harmonious existence from pre-existent chaos through the eternal direction of the Logoi. No dualistic prison, no evil black cube lord binding souls in karma rings. That is modern invention layered over symbols without respect for the actual philosophy, mythology, and metaphysics which preceded their own fabrications.
The leontocephaline is a microcosm of the Phanes macrocosm.
The demiurge who is the first to mirror and know source, the closest to source holding all the patterns and laws that make the material universe.
The leontocephaline as the individual who has seen their inner source.

Una cosa es que el cuchillo Eyzaguirre haya despedido a @gonzalofeito ; pero, otra muy distinta, es colocar a unos de los comunistas más fundamentalistas de la TV chilena conuciendo el programa.
DEMENCIAL.
La izquierda dice que el gobierno de Kast es un "gobierno en práctica", los que no sabían calcular el presupuesto de la nación vienen a decirle a Kast "gobierno en práctica".
La media perso po wn.
The pagan religions having priestesses was genuinely an advantage for them, as women can administer rites that men can't.
For instance, midwifery - a priestess can administer rites to bless a mother during childbirth - something that male priests don't normally do.
HORRIBLE
In Bangladesh 🇧🇩, a Muslim Imam from a mosque is mistreating non-Muslim women, treating them worse than animals on the streets. This is real Islam.
Can’t believe I have to say this, but no, Livy did not just make all of Roman history up, and yes, you should absolutely read Livy and learn from it, despite every classicist on here telling you otherwise.
