y be an equal amount of truth in their teaching about the constellations. perhaps in the stars that we can see in the distant heavens, and in the life that is evolving within them, we have the objective of our solar logos, and the influences that are flowing towards him, attracting him towards them, and making him, in due course of time, radio-active. in the eastern books they say that in the sun sirius lies the source of wisdom, and that the influence or the energy of love emanates from there. then they say that there is a constellation that is even more closely connected with our solar logos, the reason being that he is not, as yet, sufficiently evolved so that he can respond completely to sirius, but he can respond to the influence of the seven sisters of the pleiades. this group is a m

initiation, or those who do not become masters in physical incarnation, take their subsequent initiations elsewhere in the system. all are- 12- initiation, human and solar copyright 1998 lucis trust in the logoic consciousness. one great fact to be borne in mind is, that the initiations of the planet or of the solar system are but the preparatory initiations of admission into the greater lodge on sirius. we have the symbolism held for us fairly well in masonry, and in combining the masonic method with what we are told of the steps on the path of holiness we get an approximate picture. let us enlarge somewhat: the first four initiations of the solar system correspond to the four "initiations of the threshold" prior to the first cosmic initiation. the fifth initiation corresponds to the firs

ld of the steps on the path of holiness we get an approximate picture. let us enlarge somewhat: the first four initiations of the solar system correspond to the four "initiations of the threshold" prior to the first cosmic initiation. the fifth initiation corresponds to the first cosmic initiation, that of "entered apprentice" in masonry; and makes a master an "entered apprentice" of the lodge on sirius. the sixth initiation is analogous to the second degree in masonry, whilst the seventh initiation makes the adept a master mason of the brotherhood on sirius. a master, therefore, is one who has taken the seventh planetary initiation, the fifth solar initiation, and the first sirian or cosmic initiation. at-one-ment, the result of initiation. a point that we need to grasp is that each succe

ic influences and solar initiations. all that can be done here in dealing with this profound subject is to enumerate briefly some of the cosmic influences which definitely affect our earth, and produce results in the consciousness of men everywhere, and which, during the process of initiation, bring about certain specific phenomena. first and foremost is the energy or force emanating from the sun sirius. if it might be so expressed, the energy of thought, or mind force, in its totality, reaches the solar system from a distant cosmic centre via sirius. sirius acts as the transmitter, or the focalising centre, whence emanate those influences which produce self-consciousness in man. during initiation, by means of the rod of initiation (acting as a subsidiary transmitter and as a powerful magn

three initiations are taken upon the ray of the ego, and link a man up with the great white lodge; the last two are taken upon the ray of the monad, and have a definite effect upon the path for service that will be chosen later by the adept. this statement must be linked up with that earlier made, which stated that the fifth initiation made a man a member of the greater lodge, or brotherhood, on sirius, being literally the first of the sirian initiations. the fourth initiation is the synthesis of the initiations of the threshold in the sirian lodge. finally, according to the ray on which initiation is taken, so very largely depends the subsequent path of service. the day of opportunity. the question might here be asked wherein this information is of value to the student. in illustration o

in the training for this post psychology is the basic subject, though it is a psychology inconceivable as yet to us. every planetary logos has, in his own special planet, schools for the development of subordinate logoi, and there trains them for this high office, giving them opportunity for wide experience. even the logoi themselves progress onward, and their places must be taken. 4. the path to sirius. very little may be communicated about this path, and the curiously close relation between it and the pleiades can only be mentioned, further speculation being impossible. the bulk of liberated humanity goes this way, and the prospect holds out glorious possibilities. the seven stars of the pleiades are the goal for the seven types, and this is hinted at in the book of job, in the words "ca

is fivefold, so in the above we have enumerated the principal five paths from which a master has to choose. the remaining two can only be touched upon still more briefly, for they hold but a very few of the evolving sons of men, owing to the high point of attainment necessitated for their entrance, and the fact that those who enter upon them pass out of the system altogether. they do not lead to sirius, as do some of the other paths. it will be noted that four groups remain in the system, passing eventually, in dim and distant aeons, to the cosmic planes. one group passes directly to sirius, and the remaining two groups pass directly after initiation to the cosmic planes, with no period of intermediate work on earth, in the system, or on sirius. these two paths are: 6. the path the logos

, and it corresponds, in an occult sense, to the pupil of the eye. the real home of these great entities is upon the cosmic buddhic plane. gradually, by dint of hard effort, certain masters have qualified themselves, or are qualifying themselves, to take the place of the original members of the group, permitting of their return to a cosmic centre around which our system, and the greater system of sirius revolve. only one adept here and there has the necessary qualifications, for it involves the development of a certain type of response to cosmic vibration. it means a specialising in the inner sight, and the development of a certain measure of cosmic vision. more of the deva evolution pass to this path than do the human. human beings pass to it via the deva evolution, which can be entered b

ALICE A BAILEY04 A TREATISE ON COSMIC FIRE

f the forms (the primordial ray and the divine ray, and we know it as that which in some occult manner links the system up with its cosmic centre. in a manner inconceivable to us the first logos brings in the influence of other constellations. when this first aspect is better understood (in the next mahamanvantara) the work of the seven rishis of the great bear,65(57) and the supreme influence of sirius will be comprehended; in this present manifestation of the son, or of the vishnu aspect, we are concerned more closely with the pleiades and their influence via the sun, and, in relation to our planet, via venus. this subject of the first logos, manifesting only in connection with the other two in the system, is a profound mystery, which is not fully understood by even those who have taken

ve; it is receptive or negative where the inflowing force is concerned, and positive or radiatory where its own emanations are concerned, and in connection with its effect upon its environment. this can be predicated likewise of the entire ring-pass-not of the solar system in relation to its cosmic environment. force flows into the solar system from three directions via three channels: a. the sun sirius, b. the pleiades, c. the great bear. i would here point out the connection or correspondence in this statement to an earlier one made when speaking of solar radiation, and the channels through which it can be felt. these currents or radiations we call a. akashic. b. electrical. c. pranic. in considering the occult meaning of what is here suggested, one point in elucidation may be imparted

as yet has been given out. it has its place and function in certain ceremonies connected with the inner round91(79) and the triangle formed by the earth, mars and mercury. but more about this is not at this time permissible. third. the rod of initiation, wielded by the logos of the solar system, is called among other things, the "sevenfold flaming fire" it was confided to our logos by the lord of sirius and sent to our system from that radiant sun. one of its purposes is for use in emergencies. this great talisman has never yet been employed in this particular manner, though twice it was nearly thus used, once in atlantean days, and once in the third year of the late war. this rod of power is used at the initiation of the seven heavenly men on cosmic levels. it is used also in the initiati

tal plane, and is a portion of the fire that animates that plane. second, in the second solar system, and in connection with the method employed therein, another point merits attention. this fire of mind has its source in a constellation until recently unrecognized by exoteric science as having any relation of an intimate nature to our solar system, owing to its tremendous distance away. the sun "sirius" is the source of logoic manas in the same sense as the pleiades are connected with the evolution of manas in the seven heavenly men, and venus was responsible for the coming in of mind in the earth chain. each was primary to the other, or was the agent which produced the first flicker of consciousness in the particular groups involved. in every case the method was that of a slow evolutiona

ponsible for the coming in of mind in the earth chain. each was primary to the other, or was the agent which produced the first flicker of consciousness in the particular groups involved. in every case the method was that of a slow evolutionary growth till the consciousness suddenly blazed forth owing to the interposition of force, apparently from an extraneous source, 1. the logos..solar system..sirius 2. seven heavenly men..planetary scheme..p. leiades 3. heavenly man..earth chain..venus this second method therefore is that which is brought about by the hastening of the evolutionary process through influences from outside; these tend to awaken consciousness, and to bring about the merging of the poles. the first method touched upon was that of the earlier solar system. the method we are

le on the connection between venus and the earth, which is hinted at in some of the occult books, and is somewhat touched upon in this. i have stated that the interaction between the two schemes is due largely to their positive and negative polarity, and i pointed out that a similar relation underlies the relation of the pleiades and the seven schemes of our solar system, and also the relation of sirius and the system itself. this, therefore, sweeps into close interaction three great systems- 220- a treatise on cosmic fire copyright 1998 lucis trust 1. the system of sirius, 2. the system of the pleiades, 3. the system of which our sun is the focal point, making, as we will have noted, a cosmic triangle. within our system there are several such triangles, varying at different stages; accord

influence of our scheme on the venusian was such that an entire chain was stimulated. this was brought about through the positive polarity of the heavenly man of the earth scheme. therefore, enlarging the concept, we can note the fact that our heavenly men are the transmitters, via their seven schemes, to the seven stars of the pleiades. our solar system is negatively polarised as regards the sun sirius, which influences our entire system psychically via the three synthesising schemes uranus, neptune, saturn the latter, saturn, being the focal point for the transmission of cosmic manas to the entire seven schemes- 222- a treatise on cosmic fire copyright 1998 lucis trust 4. manas and the earth chain we have brought our consideration of our first point, the origin of cosmic and systemic man

t nature than the first set of vibrations, as is the case also in man's evolution. 3. vibrations from that which, within the logoic consciousness, is recognised as the logoic higher self, or his emanating source. this brings the solar system within the vibratory radius of certain constellations which have a position of profound importance in the general evolution of the system. 4. vibrations from sirius via the cosmic mental plane. 5. vibrations from the seven rishis of the great bear, and primarily from those two who are the prototypes of the lords of the seventh and fifth rays. this is a most important point, and finds its microcosmic correspondence in the place which the seventh ray has in the building of a thoughtform, and the use of the fifth ray in the work of concretion. all magicia

and links it up with the greater magnetism of the love aspect on the buddhic plane. 7. the law of sacrifice and death is the controlling factor on the physical plane. the destruction of the form, in order that the evolving life may progress, is one of the fundamental methods in evolution. the intermediate law of karma. there is also an intermediate law, which is the synthetic law of the system of sirius. this law is called by the generic term, the law of karma, and really predicates the effect the sirian system has on our solar system. each of the two systems, as regards its internal economy, is independent in time and space, or (in other words, in manifestation. we have practically no effect on our parent system, the reflex action is so slight as to be negligible, but very definite effect

law of karma, and really predicates the effect the sirian system has on our solar system. each of the two systems, as regards its internal economy, is independent in time and space, or (in other words, in manifestation. we have practically no effect on our parent system, the reflex action is so slight as to be negligible, but very definite effects are felt in our system through causes arising in sirius. these causes, when experienced as effects, are called by us the law of karma, and at the beginning they started systemic karma which, once in effect, constitutes that which is called karma in our occult and oriental literature. the lipika lords of our system, the systemic lords of karma, are under the rule of a greater corresponding lord on sirius. we have therefore: 1. the three cosmic la

ss of identity, though the matter is too abstruse to express more adequately. it is in this analogy that the basic idea can be found of all teaching given out about the grand heavenly man. the whole conception of these laws is bound up in this idea. we have the three laws of the cosmic higher planes, holding in a synthesis of beauty the greater and the lesser system. next we have the great law of sirius, the law of karma, on the third subplane of the cosmic mental plane, which law really controls our logos, and his actions, in the same way as the ego in due course of evolution controls the human personality. we need to remember that, under the law of correspondences, we shall have a relationship in the cosmos, similar to that existing in the microcosm between the ego and the personality. t

lution, forms part of one of the heavenly men, who themselves form the seven centres in that greater heavenly man, the logos. yet, though we are merged with the whole, we do not lose our identity, but forever remain separated units of consciousness, though one with all that lives or is. in like manner our logos loses not his identity, even though he forms part of the consciousness of the logos of sirius. in his turn, the sirian logos forms one of the seven grand heavenly men, who are the centres in the body of one of whom nought may be said. the laws and the planes. we might, while studying the seven laws of the solar system, take them plane by plane, showing certain things three in all: 1. we might study their effect as they demonstrate on the path of involution. 2. as they manifest on th

human. second. those devas who are the sumtotal of the astral light. they are the agents of the karmic lords, who are in themselves deva entities of an inconceivably advanced evolution and who, in their own substance, 1. record. 2. produce effects from cause. 3. direct force. this particular group of devas emanate from a great force centre which we generalise by calling it by the name of the sun sirius. sirius-kama-manas the cosmic astral plane and the systemic astral plane make a close interlocking chain, and form the line of least resistance for a particular type of negative force to pour through. the cosmic physical plane. this is the force (external and internal) of the solar system itself, and of its environing space. it might be regarded as the pranic forces, pouring through the log

e. the third group, corresponding to the throat centre, show forth their power on the fourth subplane through the mental units. they are the sumtotal of the power of the ego to see, to hear and to speak (or sound) in the strictly occult sense. a hint may here be given to those who have power to see. three constellations are connected with the fifth logoic principle in its threefold manifestation: sirius, two of the pleiades, and a small constellation whose name must be ascertained by the intuition of the student. these three govern the appropriation by the logos of his dense body. when the last pralaya ended, and the etheric body had been co-ordinated, a triangle in the heavens was formed under law which permitted a flow of force, producing vibration on the fifth systemic plane. that trian

. in a strictly technical and lower sense, a master in physical plane incarnation is a type of avatar, for he is a "freed soul" and therefore only chooses to incarnate for specific purpose, but we will not deal with them. let us again subdivide these groups so as still further to clarify our ideas: 1. cosmic avatars: they represent embodied force from the following cosmic centres among others: a. sirius. b. that one of the seven stars of the great bear which is ensouled by the prototype of the lord of our third major ray. c. our cosmic centre. they represent entities as far removed from the consciousness of man, as man is from the consciousness of the atom of substance. thousands of those great cycles which we call "a hundred years of brahma" have passed since they approximated the human s

ve added qualities and vibrations for which we have no terms, and which cannot be visioned by even our highest adepts. their appearance in a solar system is very unusual, and is only recognised on the highest two planes. yet, owing to the material nature of our solar system, their advent is literally the appearance in a physical form of a spiritual being who is fully conscious. such entities from sirius appear at the occasion of the initiation of the solar logos, and they have a peculiar connection with the five kumaras and through them (using them as focal points for force) with the mahachohan's department in all the occult hierarchies of the system. only once has such a being visited our system, in connection with the appearance in time and space of the five mind-born sons of brahma. the

unction of matter is symbolised. the four signs aries, leo, scorpio and aquarius are related to the following stars which are not numbered in the twelve signs of the zodiac; they constitute another field of relationships: aries to one of the two stars, found in the constellation, the great bear, which are called the two pointers. leo to polaris, the pole star, found in the little bear. scorpio to sirius, the dog star. aquarius to alcyone, one of the seven pleiades. there is little that i can tell you in connection with the energies pouring into the four zodiacal signs from these distant though potent points of outgoing energy; they are part of the life expression of an identity, immeasurably superior to and more advanced than our solar logos. a few hints may, however, be of service to the

. these three stars are embodiments of the three aspects of divine will. it is the three aspects of all expressions of divinity in manifestation which underlie the science of triangles. this i will later elaborate. another triangle of energy also appears: aries, leo and polaris, and they are doubly connected through the medium of the pointers. scorpio is under the influence or inflowing energy of sirius. this is the great star of initiation because our hierarchy (an expression of the second aspect of divinity) is under the supervision or spiritual magnetic control of the hierarchy of sirius. these are the major controlling influences whereby the cosmic christ works upon the christ principle in the solar system, in the planet, in man and in the lower forms of life expression. it is esoteric

in man and in the lower forms of life expression. it is esoterically called the "brilliant star of sensitivity" you have therefore: polaris the star of direction governing shamballa. later, another pole star will take the place of polaris, owing to the interplay of forces in the universe and the general shift and movement. but the name and quality of this star will only be revealed at initiation. sirius the star of sensitivity governing the hierarchy. alcyone the star of the individual governing humanity. you can see from the above how the entire plan of this treatise is gradually unfolding. it was necessary for me to indicate to you the nature and the purpose of the three divine centres shamballa, the hierarchy, and humanity before i could make this part of the teaching clear to you, or b

e this part of the teaching clear to you, or before i could point out the nature of the energies pouring from distant constellations and zodiacal signs into our planetary scheme. scorpio is the great constellation which influences the turning point both in the life of humanity and the life of the individual human being. for the first time in the history of both mankind and disciples the energy of sirius, pouring into the seven groups which form our planetary hierarchy evokes a response. i would remind you of a basic fact in the evolutionary process which astrology will eventually prove scientifically and past all controversy. this is the fact that energies and forces are pouring upon our system and our planetary lives ceaselessly, potently and cyclically. yet they are only regarded today a

s contents- 119- a treatise on the seven rays- volume iii: esoteric astrology copyright 1998 lucis trust the difficulty will not be because of my inaccuracies but will be owing to the lack of sensitivity in the mechanism of response which mankind and disciples are at present utilising. you have consequently in connection with the path of discipleship the following lines of "influential energy: 1. sirius working in a sevenfold manner through the seven rays and their seven groups as these constitute the active hierarchy. 2. the fixed cross a fusion of four major energies, pouring into our solar system, on to our planet and through humanity. 3. scorpio an aspect of the fixed cross, of peculiar and specialised potency upon the path of discipleship and preparing, with its tests and trials: a. t

unmanifested hierarchies are included in our enumeration. the human hierarchy is only the fourth among the seven which are in active or manifested expression. 2. nine is the number of initiation as far as humanity is concerned. there are: a. five major planetary initiations which a man can take. b. three systemic initiations of which christ has two. c. one cosmic initiation which relates a man to sirius. the relation of virgo to eight signs has, therefore, a definite bearing on these matters and the nine united potencies play their part in developing the christ life in the individual and in the mass of men. from this group of signs and their attendant constellations, three are omitted. these are leo, libra and capricorn. these three signs are all signs of crisis and indicate the progressiv

e anticipated, leo is related to scorpio, whose numbers upon the zodiacal wheel are the same as those of leo, being five and eight. you have, therefore, the formation of the triangle to which i earlier referred: leo-scorpio, leading to initiation in capricorn. as we are upon the subject, one other point might be touched upon here. august, which is ruled by leo, is the month of the dog-star, or of sirius, which thus brings sirius into close relation to leo. leo, in the cosmic sense (and apart from our solar system altogether) is ruled by sirius. sirius is the home of that greater lodge to which our fifth initiation admits a man and to which it brings him, as a humble disciple. later, when the new world religion is founded and is working- 177- a treatise on the seven rays- volume iii: esoter

ology copyright 1998 lucis trust we shall find that the major, monthly festival in august, held at the time of the full moon, will be dedicated to the task of making contact, via the hierarchy, with sirian force. each of the months of the year will later be dedicated (through accurate astrological and astronomical knowledge) to whichever constellation in the heavens governs a particular month, as sirius governs leo. this i shall later elaborate in the papers to be written anent the new "approaches" to spiritual reality. mercury again comes, at this point, into our discussion, and you thus have the formation of an esoteric quaternary, affecting powerfully the major quaternary of man spirit, soul, mind and brain. this energy brings about an inter-relation and an inner awakening which prepare

ng with ideas and concepts for which we have no adequate terminology and which are of such a nature that the human mechanism of thought proves incapable of registering them. what, for instance, do the words or phrases "divine purpose, shamballa, the lord of the world, states of registration or awareness which have no relation to sentiency as it expresses itself through consciousness, the lodge on sirius" and similar concepts convey to you? i would venture to suggest that in reality, they represent nothing, and this because the goal of all who read these words is contact with the soul, recognition of and by the hierarchy, and initiation. if i say to you that the words "the o.m, as it is sounded forth by him who stands within the confines of shamballa" signify that the one sound, rounded and

from which he originally came. he can now obey the command to reveal, because the transfiguration is consummated. he is not now revealing the soul only, but all the three aspects now meet in him and he can reveal the life aspect as will and not only the soul aspect as love or the matter aspect as intelligence. this is, as you know the first major initiation from the angle of the greater lodge on sirius, because it is the first initiation in which all the three aspects meet in the initiate. the first two initiations oft regarded by humanity as major initiations are in reality minor initiations from the sirian point of view, because the relation of the man "under discipline and in training" is only a tendency; there is only a developing recognition of the father and a slowly growing respons

f occult proportion that our tiny planet with its planetary logos (one of the "imperfect gods" of the secret doctrine) would be too small to enter in the slightest way into the consciousness of that supreme illumined entity who is greater even than our solar logos. such, however, is the case. there is a relationship of very ancient date between our lord of the world, sanat kumara, and the lord of sirius, and this exists in spite of the fact that our planet is not a sacred planet. it might be added that our planet is, in the immediate cycle, owing to the factors i have lately considered with you, rapidly passing out of this category, and on the inner planes and subjectively considered is a sacred planet; the effects of this transition from non-sacred to sacred have not fully demonstrated th

l contacts, except with those who have trodden the path of liberation and now stand free upon the cosmic physical plane; it is that which enables the initiate to achieve a state of "isolated unity; it is that which lies behind the spirit of death and forms the motivating power of that great releasing agency; it is that which provides a "pathway of power" between our hierarchy and the distant sun, sirius, and gives the incentive towards the "culture of freedom" or of liberation which motivates the work of the masters of the wisdom; it is that which produced the ferment and the vortex of conflict in far distant ages and which has been recognised in the present through the results of the law of evolution in every kingdom in nature; this is that which "substands" or lies under or behind all pr

stories are the result of the writers accessing their deep memories or having direct knowledge of what happened. it is this same inner memory at some deep level of our consciousness that attracts such astonishing numbers of people to the science fiction films and literature. some of the places which crop up most often in channelled information relating to these conflicts are the systems of orion, sirius, and the pleiades. interesting, then, that these were at the fore of ancient beliefs and worship on earth over thousands of years, across scores of cultures. the pyramids at giza and the giant spider drawn in ancient times on the plains of nazca, peru, are exactly aligned with orion. i think the star arcturus in the bootes constellation is also significant to the earth's history. the veil o

nd whirlpools is in sight, we should perhaps sit up and pay attention when we learn that orion, the great hunter of greek myth, was the owner of a dog. when orion tried to ravish the virgin goddess artemis she produced a scorpion from the earth which killed him and the dog. orion was transported to the skies where he became the constellation that bears his name today; his dog was transformed into sirius, the dog star.38 precisely the same identification of sirius was made by the ancient egyptians,39 who linked the orion constellation specifically to their god osiris.40 it is in ancient egypt too that the character of the faithful celestial dog achieves its fullest and most explicit mythical elaboration in the form of upuaut, a jackal-headed deity whose name means opener of the ways .41 if

cient egyptians at any stage in their history, nor even their successors the greeks, or for that matter the europeans until the renaissance, are supposed to have possessed cosmological data of anything approaching this quality. how, therefore, can its presence be explained in compositions which date back to the dawn of egyptian civilization? another (and perhaps related) mystery concerns the star sirius, which the egyptians identified with isis, the sister and consort of osiris and the mother of horus. in a passage addressed to osiris himself, the pyramid texts state: thy sister isis cometh unto thee rejoicing in her love for thee. thou settest her upon thee, thy issue entereth into her, and she becometh great with child like the star sept [sirius, the dog star. horus-sept cometh forth fro

levant utterances (e.g, 66955, this confirmed that the sothic calendar was at least as old as the texts themselves,56 and their origins stretched back into the mists of distant antiquity. the great enigma, therefore, is this: in such an early period, who could have possessed the necessary know-how to observe and take note of the coincidence of the period of 365.25 days with the heliacal rising of sirius a coincidence described by the french mathematician r.a. schwaller de lubicz as an entirely exceptional celestial phenomenon ?57 we cannot but admire the greatness of a science capable of discovering such a coincidence. the double star of sirius was chosen because it was the only star that moves the needed distance and in the right direction against the background of the other stars. this f

s from such channelings, including, arguably, the book of revelation, the book of mormon, and the book of the law. concurrently, and not coincidentally, the two great initiatory bodies, or orders have been generated and regenerated throughout history. the so-called great white brotherhood, when undistorted, appears (according to legend) guided by intelligences associated with the dual star system sirius or sothis in some manner. this brotherhood also seems to have the purpose of uplifting human character and initiating biological and social evolution designed to move towards identification with ultimate being. what is sometimes called the black lodge, which we may associate with the gnostic demiurge or phil dick s valis, is generated to keep humanity in a state of materialist trance and ev

a state of materialist trance and evolutionary stagnation. mystics generally consider that understanding the motivations of either of these sources may be beyond our knowledge or even our capabilities. existentially, however, it may be stated with confidence that one is dedicated to keep us in subjugation, misery and stagnation; the other to our betterment and enrichment though both at 1. see the sirius mystery by robert temple for a discussion of the sirius connection also kenneth grant s outside the circles of time discusses the matter from a magical perspective. 60 allen h. greenfield times have made claims to being our saviors. there are keys for decoding which is which for example, rituals that have been generated or handed down to the magical lodges of modern times which refer to a s

HANDBOOK OF EGYPTIAN MYTHOLOGY

se include most of the deities who make up the ennead of heliopolis, and it is often argued that the pyramid texts largely represent the theology of the solar temple at heliopolis. a stellar element was also important in the pyramid texts. the king was destined to join the imperishable stars, and the god osiris was identified with the constellation of orion and the goddess isis with the dog star, sirius.20 the cult of osiris is hardly known before the fifth dynasty, but he gradually became the most important funerary god. one thing the pyramid texts are not is a collection of narrative myths. they do contain numerous allusions to myths, many of which are difficult to interpret. some passages include what have been called mythical statements. these give the bare outlines of an event that ha

of horus were divided. evil seemed to triumph, until the waxing of the moon completed these two symbols of beneficent power again. periodic eclipses of the moon were explained by myths such as that of seth taking the form of a black boar to swallow the eye of horus and being forced to expel it again. regular astronomical events such as the appearance of the morning star or the heliacal rising of sirius also feature in egyptian myth (see stars and planets in deities, themes, and concepts, but by far the most significant heavenly phenomenon was the daily rising and setting of the sun. the solar cycle the apparent movement of the sun across the sky was seen both as a life cycle and as a journey. the daily life cycle of the sun was more an extended metaphor than a narrative. the sun was said

e (irt) sounded like a word for doing or acting. this may be why the eyes of a deity are associated with divine power at its most interventional. since the word irt was feminine in gender, divine eyes were personified as goddesses. in different contexts, the eyes of the creator were identified with various celestial bodies, such as the disk of the sun, the full moon, the morning star, and sopdet (sirius. these celestial eyes could all be shown as the part-hawk, part-human eye known as the wedjat eye (see figure 12. the eye of ra was regarded as ra s daughter and protector. this eye goddess was associ- 128 handbook of egyptian mythology ated with both fire and water. her fiery glance destroyed the enemies of the divine order while her tears created life. after the primordial creator god atu

. ra misses his daughter and needs his eye to defend himself against the forces of chaos and the rebels among humanity. he sends one or more of the gods on a dangerous mission to retrieve the wandering goddess. the ferocious goddess is pacified by thoth, shu, or onuris and persuaded to return to egypt. in the greco-roman period, the return of the eye goddess was linked with the heliacal rising of sirius that signaled the coming of the dangerous but life-giving nile flood. the goddess is given an ecstatic welcome by all creation and is reconciled with her father. she then becomes his consort and the mother of a divine child who will be the new form of the sun god. in some places a pair of goddesses was worshipped as the aggressive and pacified forms of the eye of ra, such as satet and anuke

nd desert spring water. her sacred animal, the antelope, was renowned for its ability to find water in the desert. the pyramid texts mention the four water jars of satet that are used to purify the dead king so that he can take his place among the gods. by the greco-roman period, satet (mistress of the water of life) was identified with the star goddess sopdet-isis. the heliacal rising of sopdet (sirius) coincided with the coming of the inundation. this awe-inspiring natural phenomenon became linked to the myth of the return of the distant goddess, the eye of ra. satet seems to have represented the ferocious aspect of this goddess. in pyramid text 439, satet, the fiery one, claims to be a deity more powerful than ra. in the coffin texts, satet defends the dead against dangers from the sout

e gods to this origin. the decan stars were thought of as joining osiris in the underworld before rising from the dead when they became visible again above the horizon at dawn. star clocks were painted inside some middle kingdom coffins. their main purpose was to incorporate the spirit of the coffin owner into this stellar cycle of death and regeneration. the most important of the decan stars was sirius. this star was represented by a goddess known to the egyptians as sopdet and to the greeks as sothis. she was shown as a woman wearing a crown surmounted by a fivepointed star. each year the period when sirius rose above the horizon at dawn coincided with the coming of the inundation. this event also marked the start of the egyptian year. in the pyramid texts, sopdet is named as a manifesta

rabs, under a sky always clear and serene, adored the sun, moon, and stars. abulfaragius so informs us, and that each of the twelve arab tribes invoked a particular star as its patron. the tribe hamyar was consecrated to the sun, the tribe cennah to the moon; the tribe misa was under the protection of the beautiful star in taurus, aldebar n; the tribe tai under that of canopus; the tribe kais, of sirius; the tribes lachamus and idamus, of jupiter; the tribe asad, of mercury; and so on. the saracens, in the time of heraclius, worshipped venus, whom they called cabar, or the great; and they swore by the sun, moon, and stars. shahristan, an arabic author, says that the arabs and indians before his time had temples dedicated to the seven planets. abulfaragius says that the seven great primitiv

, been taken for the commencement of the year. some adopted the vernal equinox, because then day began to prevail over night, and light gained a victory over darkness. sometimes the summer solstice was preferred; because then day attained its maximum of duration, and the acme of its glory and perfection. in egypt, another reason was, that then the nile began to overflow, at the heliacal rising of sirius. some preferred the autumnal equinox, because then the harvests were gathered, and the hopes of a new crop were deposited in the bosom of the earth. and some preferred the winter solstice, because then, the shortest day having arrived, their length commenced to increase, and light began the career destined to end in victory at the vernal equinox. the sun was figuratively said to _die_ and b

revolutions though 1460 were counted; to make up which, a year more would need to be added. so that the sun would not have made his 1460 revolutions until the end of 1461 years of 365 days each--each revolution being in reality not 365 days exactly, but 365-l/4. this period of 1461 years, each of 365 days, bringing back the commencement of the solar year to the solstitial point, at the rising of sirius, after 1460 complete solar revolutions, was called in egypt the _sothiac_ period, the point of departure whereof was the summer solstice, first occupied by the lion and afterward by cancer, under which sign is sirius, which opened the period. it was, says porphyry, at this solstitial new moon, accompanied by the rising of seth or the dog-star, that the beginning of the year was fixed, and t

r those stars _outside_ of the zodiac, that rise and set at the same moment with the several divisions of 10 of each sign. as there were anciently only forty-eight celestial figures or constellations, of which twelve were in the zodiac, it follows that there were, outside of the zodiac, thirty-six other asterisms, paranatellons of the several thirty-six decans. for example, as when capricorn set, sirius and procyon, or canis major and canis minor, rose, they were the paranatellons of capricorn, though at a great distance from it in the heavens. the rising of cancer was known from the setting of corona borealis and the rising of the great and little dog, its three paranatellons. the risings and settings of the stars are always spoken of as connected with the sun. in that connection there ar

se principles, ever pursuing one the other, and one dethroning the other in every annual revolution, and at a particular period, one in the spring under the bull, and the other in autumn under the scorpion, by the legendary history of osiris and typhon, detailed to us by diodorus and synesius; in which history were also personified the stars and constellations orion, capella, the twins, the wolf, sirius, and hercules, whose risings and settings noted the advent of one or the other equinox. plutarch gives us the positions in the heavens of the sun and moon, at the moment when osiris was murdered by typhon. the sun, he says, was in the sign of the scorpion, which he then entered at the autumnal equinox. the moon was full, he adds; and consequently, as it rose at sunset, it occupied taurus, w

s connection a child was born, whom isis, aided by her dogs, sought for, found, reared, and attached to herself, by the name of anubis, her faithful guardian. the third full moon occurs in cancer, domicile of the moon. the paranatellons of that sign are, the crown of ariadne or proserpine, made of leaves of the melilot, procyon and canis major, one star of which was called the star of isis, while sirius himself was honored in egypt under the name of anubis. isis repaired to byblos, and seated herself near a fountain, where she was found by the women of the court of a king. she was induced to visit his court, and became the nurse of his son. the fourth full moon was in leo, domicile of the sun, or of adonis, king of byblos. the paranatellons of this sign are the flowing water of aquarius, a

east, he was the sign of that happiness in which nature, the great goddess of passive production, rejoiced. now, in the west, as he declines toward the northwestern horizon, his generative vigor gradually abates; the solar year grows old; and as his stars descend beneath the western wave, osiris dies, and the world mourns. the ancient astronomers saw all the great symbols of masonry in the stars. sirius still glitters in our lodges as the blazing star(_l' toile flamboyante. the sun is still symbolized by the point within a circle; and, with the moon and mercury or anubis, in the three great lights of the lodge. not only to these, but to the figures and numbers exhibited by the stars, were ascribed peculiar and divine powers. the veneration paid to numbers had its source there. the three ki
