Sirius A (known as The White Blue Star or Dog Star) is located in The Canis Major Constellation System. It is the brightest star in the night sky believed to be 8.6 light years away, twice as big as our Sun, and four times hotter.

 

With the Hipparcos satellite, it has been confirmed that in the next 60,000 years, the brightness of Sirius will increase as it moves closer to our solar system. Britannica (2018), also advocates Sirius B is Sirius A's orbiting pair - meaning it is a binary system. Sirius B was once a sun, which died and is now a 'white dwarf' star.

The Ancient Egyptians believed Sirius to be the 'real Sun' which lights the spiritual world, whilst the Sun we see in our sky is 'the sun behind the sun', an illusion of the physical world. (Wisdom Square, 2018).

​

The Ancient Egyptians also associated Sirius with Anubis (god of the underworld), and would build their pyramids aligned with the constellations/stars and Sirius. As such, it is believed that when ceremonies would take place, the light of Sirius would enter through the pyramid(s) and endowl the priest with The Super Solar Force (spiritual light). The priest would then obtain a higher level of consciousness and pass this on to the other initiates.

​

When the light from Sirius would hit the capstone of the pyramid, and enter the pyramid chambers this would act as a guide for the deceased to travel to 'the boat of heaven'. This boat would then take them to the after-life. The Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt is currently missing its crystal cap stone.

​

Today, the pyramids are still used to initiate adepts into various Orders.

Sirius is a prominent feature in Freemasonry amongst the majority of their symbolism as it is where initiates seek to ascend to. In the picture below on the left, Sirius is represented as 'the light' coming from The Eye of Horus. The goddess Isis is also affiliated with Sirius, in that she is represented as the moon, and Osiris the sun. Their off-spring Horus, is thus represented as Sirius. 

 

The Order of The Eastern Star - an Order of Freemasonry, is symbolised by the five pointed star of Sirius.

The Dogon Tribe

The Dogon Tribe of Mali, Africa, dates back to 3200 BCE, and their belief is that The Nommos (amphibious beings from a planet that orbited Sirius), gave them advanced knowledge of the Sirius star system. This information has so far proved to be scientifically correct. However, the Dogon advocate that Sirius is a tri-star system, meaning that instead of there being two stars in orbit, there are three. They call this third star Sirius C - 'The Sun of Women'. Modern science is yet to confirm the existence of Sirius C, however scientists state that if it does indeed exist, it would be a brown dwarf star.

​

To the Mesoamerican Pawnee Tribe, Sirius is known as The Wolf Star or The Coyote Star which would accompany the dead through the Milky Way. To the Cherokee Tribe, Sirius (Agise'gwa - a female star) guards The Milky Way with Antares (Wa'hyaya' - the male star) which is on the other side of the Milky Way. If Agise'gwa and Antares are not fed, then a soul will not be able to pass through and will wander aimlessly back and forth between the two stars along 'The Great River' in the sky (Brosch, 2008).
