Iterating the Godself — tending your garden

Welcome to your apprenticeship

(Hey there, friend! This is a multi-part series. If you want to start from the beginning, just click here. If you’re looking for the previous installment, click here.)

Saturn pulls things together. Saturn is what holds us together. It’s like a giant boundary wall protecting everything that makes you, you—as well as everything you love and value.

And just like boundary walls of ages past, it can also become stifling. But for right now, I’d like to focus on the constructive aspects of Saturn—of which there are many. If you make friends with Saturn’s useful properties in the present, you might not have to experience as many of its disabling aspects in the future.

You might recall from our lesson on The Chariot—before we even got a chance to call in the Godself—that Saturn teaches faith through faithlessness. There, I briefly presaged the work we would do with Saturn because he has genuinely constituted the most important part of this whole practice for me. In fact, Saturn work is what has made this a practice instead of a process. This is where your hypersigil, your construction of the Godself, becomes iterative.

Because that’s the key point here—Saturn represents what we can achieve through time and consistent effort. It represents the eventual fruits of much labor.

I brought Saturn in early because I wanted you to be prepared for what this work was going to look like—commitment, conviction, and some serious self-parenting.
