Sirius

Isis, the Great Mother, embodied in the star Sirius, brought a spiraling, resonant harmony to the Earth, a pattern of Great Force in the atmospheric aether, that not only set time, but sought to shape matter as well, manifesting a natural, aesthetic form called the Golden Ratio, or “Divine Proportion” in all her creations.

“I am the one who rises in Sirius,

I am the one called Goddess by women,

I separated the Earth from the Heavens,

I showed the path of the stars.

It is this harmonizing power , called Maat, that makes Isis so omnipresent and enduring. Loved by every known culture throughout the world, by her many different names, worship of the Goddess predates all others.The throne was her symbol. It represented the foundational pattern on which Kingship and Civilization were structured. The symbol for Sirius was the pyramid. This symbol also represented the divine, harmonizing power of Sirius/Isis as the source of initation on Earth - a necessary mystical process that each ruler must complete.

As a binary star system, all energies released by Sirius are shaped and conditioned by the perfectly balanced, elliptical orbit the two stars share. It is this seasonal cycle of death and climactic rebirth, modulated by the perfect harmonics of their elliptical orbit, that produces the rich panoply of archetypal forces that make up the family of Isis.
