The identification of Saturn and El as the same deity is a recurring theme in various esoteric, mythological, and comparative religious studies, though it is not a mainstream scholarly consensus. In ancient Semitic religion, El was a high god venerated in the Levant and Anatolia, often regarded as the father of the gods and humanity, associated with wisdom, justice, and creation.
He was symbolized by the bull and known by epithets such as "El the King" and "Father of the gods".
The Roman god Saturn was equated with El in some traditions, with the Roman name Saturn being linked to the Semitic El, particularly in the context of Canaanite and Hebrew religious thought.
This connection is further supported by the idea that El, as a primordial creator god, was identified with Saturn across various ancient cultures. For instance, in Mesopotamian mythology, El corresponds to Anu and Enlil, both of whom are linked to Saturn in some interpretations.
The Greek Titan Cronus, often associated with Saturn, is also connected to El in certain esoteric frameworks, with some sources suggesting that the names Saturn, Cronus, and El are interchangeable references to the same divine entity.
This concept extends to other deities and symbols, such as the bull, which represents both El and Saturn, and the idea that the "sons of God" in Genesis 6 may have been associated with this entity.
Furthermore, the name "Israel" itself is interpreted by some as a composite of "Is" (light), "Ra" (sun), and "El" (god), reinforcing the idea that El, as a cosmic or divine force, is central to the etymology of the nation and its religious identity.
The association of El with Saturn is also reflected in the Hebrew name "YHWH," which, according to some interpretations, evolved from the amalgamation of El’s attributes with those of other deities like Yahweh, eventually forming the monotheistic conception of God in Judaism.
