For three years now, every time I sit with/work with Saturn (Roman, not Astrological), I’ve heard “I’m the God of your ancient ancestors.” For three years, I’ve been trying to find anything that says “Saturn (Satre) was originally an Etruscan God.” When I read this, my blood went cold. 👀

Passiflora is a genus of over 600 spp., 95% of which are native to the Americas (5% Australasia). They are mostly lianas with tendrils (which are modified shoots); leaves have glands; flowers have a stalked stamens + ovary (androgynophore). This is P. bahamensis. #Passifloraceae #Botany 🌾🧪🌱

@phytoholographic.bsky.social 👀⚱️🐇🕷️🐇🤭🤭

Me listening to the the audio version of A Court of Mist and Fury (dramatic reading)

Cancel my exorcism. I want to see where this goes.

Best I can offer to yall today:

One of my panelists just translated Macrobius’ “Saturnus pudenda Caeli patris abscidens” as “Saturn snipping the sack of his father Heaven.”

Took a break from writing to draw Saturn and Kronos for @graveyardgranny.bsky.social last night so I can visually explain the difference between the two Gods (from my spiritual practice perspective AND because they are characters in my novel) and we haven’t stopped screaming since.

OH MY GOD THUNDER FOR JUP’S LAST JUP DAY IN GEMINI?!

Me when @graveyardgranny.bsky.social wakes up to a podcast-length message of me explaining Etruscan deities: “GOOD MORNING”

“My name is Sam Giacalone. I started writing a book about Saturn, and I woke up in 1600 BCE Latium, Italy. Am I mad, in a coma, or back in time? Whatever’s happened, it’s like I’ve landed on a different planet. Now, maybe if I can work out the reason, I can get home.” youtu.be/kzntDgOLox8?...

Going to take classes to learn Latin. 🤗

There’s Greek Kronos, there’s Latium Saturn, and then there’s astrological Saturn and I think that’s where them soft, melancholy boys merge and become Super Saiyan and go crazy.

Need an emotional support group after reading #songofachilles

Started Song of Achilles and I know I’m going to regret it when I get to the end

First day back at my desk after four days of wilting and writhing in bed due to food poisoning or stomach bug. This is the longest I’ve been upright. Anyway, going back to my novel 😌🤌

I guess???? I’m in bed today??? With a full body migraine + nausea?

I’m sorry but this has become a “Saturn, King of Latium Before Greek Intervention” fan account.

Saddened to hear about Starcadian. Thinking about their family and loved ones. 🥺

Me, to @graveyardgranny.bsky.social, reciting Tarchon’s only fucking dialogue in the fucking Aeneid.

Me trying to write a sexy scene for my book, having a hard time, and realizing it’s because I’m writing it to the Pokémon Snap theme song??

Usil the Etruscan Sun God (my husband)

Um ok … holy shit

Saturn, but in a very Italian-American accent, “GET THE FUCK OUTTA HEYUH.” (Aggrieved grimace and swift flick of wrist included)

@phytoholographic.bsky.social please see!!

Do I have friends that are editors? Particularly for fantasy / historical fantasy novels?

"We went to space and found the devil" is a pretty neat subgenre

My algorithm is filled with “spicy romantasy” content now that I’ve been adding some …warmth… (😌) in my historical fantasy

your works have legitimately helped me heal my relationship to food and to my body and I loved you anyway but I extra love you for being such a blessing to the world with the content you put out

🪽Kronos: Crack-Up and Shore albums by Fleet Foxes 🏺Saturn: Self titled album and Helplessness Blues by Fleet Foxes — I can’t explain it much more than that.

I love my friends so much ???? It hurts????

Last night’s divine hypnagogic experience? Saturn whispered this: “The soil is fertilized with the tears of Saturn, the Father.” Okie dokie!

The Weave #art #bg3

Me researching Latium and seeing anything about the God Janus: “precious baby boy Janus 😌”

when it's a day and your hands aren't shaking 🥳

I know I’ve been quiet! I’m sorry! I’m invested in this historical fantasy novel that I’m writing. I’ve done a lot of research, meditating, planning, and visualizing. I’ve been so exhausted that I can only manage very little each day. But a blog post is on the way for both Aries + Taurus season

I place the myrrh on the flame; your chapel is steeped in perfume. (OGC)

Ah yes. Monday. Artist: Eric Winter Rumpelstiltskin

@phytoholographic.bsky.social has slowly turned my night baby self into a little sun baby, and I'm actually happy to report than spending a few minutes in the sun has been really good for my hermit goblin nature

4 minutes into Saturnalia by Macrobius and we’re having an existential crisis and philosophical discourse about the nature of time. Me and who, though?

A long time ago, @npeg.bsky.social sent me a screenshot of an old astrology text that delineated a 9H Saturn in Cap “growing old and taking care of a temple”. I think about this every day. Would be cool to build Saturn’s temple back up and actually become a Priestess of Saturn.

I haven’t been promoting my upcoming tracks- one is literally dropping next week. I’m trying to do things a little different this year. But big love and thanks to those who already picked them up on Bandcamp 🩶🩶🙏🏼🙏🏼🥹🥹

I’m a Saturn is female Truther as well idgaf lol.

[justice for the saturnian feminine]

I have done so much research on Saturn (God, not Astro), that I feel like I can start a podcast. My head is swimming with more questions about ancient history.
