Of the birth of Saturnus.

A centered planetary symbol for Saturn (♄).

There lived a goddess of fortune after midnight in the very high-lying cold mountains near the island of Thule original: "Θυλῆ", who was called Vestæ. She had taken Mercurium as father and a god as husband, who was called Coelus. These two had no one around them, for they were alone. They rode to hunt and ate the roots of the earth so that they might nourish their bodies against hunger.
