Etherial father, mighty Titan, hear, great fire of Gods and men, whom all revere: Endu'd with various council, pure and strong, to whom perfection and decrease belong. Consum'd by thee all forms that hourly die, by thee restor'd, their former place supply; The world immense in everlasting chains, strong and ineffable thy pow'r contains Father of vast eternity, divine, O mighty Saturn [Kronos], various speech is thine: Blossom of earth and of the starry skies, husband of Rhea, and Prometheus wife. Obstetric Nature, venerable root, from which the various forms of being shoot; No parts peculiar can thy pow'r enclose, diffus'd thro' all, from which the world arose, O, best of beings, of a subtle mind, propitious hear to holy pray'rs inclin'd; The sacred rites benevolent attend, and grant a blameless life, a blessed end.
-THE ORPHIC HYMNS, [12] XII. TO SATURN [KRONOS]
(Commentary by Dee Smith: People are often confused by the symbol of Saturn eating his children and view it as something evil, however as is usual those who don't understand the language of symbolism always take these symbols literally. To understand the symbol of Saturn eating his children you have to understand what is being relayed in this verse from the Gospel of Mary Magdalene.
"The Savior said, All nature, all formations, all creatures exist in and with one another, and they will be resolved again into their own roots.For the nature of matter is resolved into the roots of its own nature alone." - The Gospel of Mary Magdelene)
