Saturn's Labyrinth
The Labyrinth of Life and Death is also known as Saturn’s Labyrinth. Life and death are themes that encompass everything represented by all the previous symbols of labyrinths. It is significant because, through its symbolism, it presents death as a process rather than an end. In this way, death becomes a part of life rather than its end. Its element is earth, its color is black or dark blue, its direction is west, and its natural form is receptive. Translated with DeepL.com (free version)

Pottery Art’s clay creations also include pieces depicting the labyrinth of life and death. Since this labyrinth is the most complex—encompassing the themes of all previous labyrinths—the pieces that bear its design are also special and significant. By using these pieces, we remain in constant contact with the workings of the “Saturn Labyrinth,” as we call it.
Labyrinth of life and death
The Labyrinth of Life and Death represents the course of our lives—growing up, maturity, and inevitable passing. These are followed by death and rebirth. And death, as the central motif of this labyrinth, is not a cause for fear—quite the opposite. It is a reason to approach this exceptionally important human experience with seriousness and respect. Saturn’s labyrinth represents spiritual growth. Using this labyrinth will encourage and strengthen perseverance, humility, reliability, and simplicity. At the same time, it will help eliminate negative traits such as selfishness, callousness, laziness, and inconsiderateness. Saturn’s labyrinth has a beneficial effect on the process of introspection and calming mental activity. The use of the labyrinth of life and death is particularly significant in places where there are cemeteries and crematoriums, as its presence alleviates the grief of the living and reminds them that life does not end with death.
