Of course, when I use the term dwarf stars within the context of our own system, I am referring to the two former dwarf stars Jupiter and Saturn.

The name associations between planets and the pantheon gods and goddesses of ancient religions are primordial. All ancient religions were astral in nature; the funny thing is that a group of primitive people today seeking to devise an astral religion from scratch, would end up worshiping the sun and the moon, but the two chieftain gods of every one of the old religions were Jupiter and Saturn, and not the sun or moon. That makes no sense within the context of our present system.

Vestiges of the ancient reality are still all around us. We still refer to our Sabbath as Saturn's day; the chief Roman religious Festival was called Saturnalia; the two most common names for God in the Bible and in the ancient near East were El (Saturn) and Jahveh which is the same basic word is Jove (Jupiter).

Both Ovid and Hesiod claim that there had been a Golden age during which Saturn/Kronos was the "King of heaven", followed by the flood and then a brief silver age during which Jupiter/Zeus was the King of heaven, followed by the age of the Trojan war and then our present (iron) age.

In the same language, our present sun is the "King of heaven" now. What the ancient authors were claiming, in their own language, not ours, is that there were two recent ages during which our planet was associated first with Saturn and then with Jupiter, before ever beginning to orbit the sun directly and before our system finally stabilized in its present configuration.

There is sufficient reason to believe that in those prior ages, both Jupiter and Saturn were dwarf stars.
