Saturn

The "Greater Malefic" and the ancient lord of time, limitation, and the cold, heavy reality of the material world. He is the "Lead" of the alchemist, the heavy burden of the ego and the physical body that must be transmuted through the fire of the soul. Saturn is the gatekeeper of the outer limits, the one who measures the span of lives and the cycles of history with a scythe of iron. While he represents death and restriction, he is also the source of the "Prima Materia"—the raw, chaotic substance that contains the secret potential for the highest gold.
