A Personal Perspective and Short Modern History of the Age of Sirius
Even now, after all these long years of Siriun research, I am still astounded at the thought that a single dot of light some eight and a half light years away can hold such a prominent position in metaphysical and spiritual thought.
It seems almost inconceivable that such a distant stellar body could determine the destiny of life on planet earth but this theory can be found at the heart of a widely spread belief in the importance of Sirius as a stellar influence that could possibly hold the key to an understanding of human existence.
The Scorching One
I am old enough to have seen a fascination with the Dog Star grow and extend through a number of different mystical, archeological and even astronomical fields over the past thirty years.
For many people it was the publication of 'The Sirius Mystery' - a ground-breaking book by researcher Robert Temple in that long, hot summer of 1976 that began this interest with the Dog Star. However, whilst this book caused a new wave of students to approach the mysteries of Sirius from a mythological and archeological perspective there were already several spiritual initiates over the previous 80 years who were resonating to the energy of Sirius at a much deeper and more profound level.
in fact I believe that many spiritually aware individuals were responding to the Sirian Ray, and writing about it, as far back as the 1880s.
Sirian Channellers
Today, as interest in Sirius and Beings from Sirius grows, some initiates are channelling Sirian information of a very high calibre.
These people appear to have been 'hard-coded' at an almost soul level to resonate to the Sirian dynamic, or to carry some sort of archetypal connection at a DNA level. Murry Hope was one such person and she came to describe this Sirian connection through a 'Sirian Gene'.
I feel that some sort of hidden or secret agenda is at play here for gradually a contrived universal or Worldwide awakening to the influence of Sirius in teh future is being carried forwards by those with a calling.
Going back to the heady days of the 1960s it appears that a new Magickal Current was being 'seeded' into humanity through the teachings and practices of several well-known writers. It is probable that mind-altering substances were also at play in bringing this about.
Indeed one of the greatest advocates of LSD drug culture, Timothy Leary, experienced what came to be know as the Starseed Transmissions during his time in prison. These were a sequence of chanelings which he directly ascribed to having originated from Sirius.
Later on in 1973 writer and occultist Robert Anton Wilson experienced a similar Sirian impulse and started to draw attention towards the idea that the Sirian mystery could be directly connected to a whole raft of other arcane disciplines - including ritual magick.
Sirius Awakens
I entered the scene somewhat late on - around 1978, when my interests became centered around a fascination for the ancient UFOnaut theories that were being presented at the time by the likes of Erich Von Daniken and Brinsley Le Pour Trench.
From this I progressed towards studying Aleister Crowleys' Thelema and then Kenneth Grants Typhonian works. As the decades passed I continued to follow my heart into every known facet of occult thought.
From Mystic Christianity to Satanism I consumed every strand of mystical, religious and arcane thought imaginable.
It took some while but I slowly started to realize that one single enigma either under-pinned, or ran like a thread, throughout them all.
I came to realise that this great mystery is centered around the worship of the Dog Star Sirius and is a belief which runs through so many cultures of the world.
As I learnt more about the subject I also started to notice that my life had been for several years resonating to many of the key themes of the Sirian Ray.
The Spiritual Life
Many spiritual and occult writers have alluded to Sirius and its importance as a controlling and directing force in their lives.
Alice Bailey, through her published works on esoteric astrology has explained in greater detail than I can ever hope to express here some of the subtleties of the initiatory process as they effect mankind.
As you might expect she pinpoints Sirius as a primary or key player in this process.
I am a great admirer of Alice Bailey and her channelled material which she amassed through her hidden master DK but I have one issue regarding Sirius with which I disagree with her.
It has been stated that DK stated that Sirius cannot be interpreted within normal astrological terms. In other words it was felt that trying to identify the Sirian Ray, impulse or influence, within the context of normal astrological rules (ie signs and houses etc.) is not possible.
Could this be simply because mankind has yet to integrate the importance of Sirius into the racial mindset in the same way that it has for planets for example?
I question DKs' statement for the very simple reason that in my birth chart my Mercury is positioned directly on top of Sirius! A traditional astrologer would interpret this conjunction as a clear example sign that I was destined to express, or communicate, the Sirian dynamic.
Is it therefore merely coincidental that with reference to this placement I have decided to create a website devoted to the mysteries of this enigmatic star? I started this on or around my fiftieth birthday.
Sirius B is known to have a 50 year orbit around Sirius A!
The Influence of Sirius
Despite my commitment to reveal something of the mysteries of Sirius to a wider audience I am no authority on the subject and am certainly still no nearer fully understanding why or how Sirius is potentially such an important Stellar body.
Nor can I pretend to fully understand the multitude of strands of esoteric beliefs that underpin the mystery of this star. What I am sure of, however, is that the Ancient Egyptians, through their veneration of Sirius and of its personification as the Goddess Isis, knew something of the qualities of this stellar body that time has long since forgotten.
In 'The Sirius Connection' the respected writer Murry Hope examines some of the links between the Egyptians and their royal star. Later on in her books on the Crystal People she describes how a lionine tribe of beings from Sirius, whom she called the 'Paschats' appeared to her. She believes that they were worshipped in Ancient Egypt as the lion goddess Bast.
Once again I am given to believe that she may have been correct in her conclusions through my own personal experience for the following reason. In the mid 1990s my daughter became seriously ill. At one stage her life was under threat. She did not die but was left handicapped as a result.
Two days before she was officially diagnosed by the medical profession I awoke in the early hours of the morning recalling an ET abduction-style of experience in which I was in the company of strange beings who warned me that a great personal tragedy was about to befall me in my life.
This group of 'cosmic beings' were not your common ETs type. They were in fact lionesque in appearance, character and disposition. At the time I had not read of Murry Hopes' account with the Paschats so had no prior understanding of the existance of Lion-beings or any connection to Sirius.
During the mid to late 1990s I experienced many ET and UFO experiences. None, other than the one that I have cited above, involved lion-type of beings but quite naturally my fascination with the subject led me into further research of the phenomena.
Once again I came across references to beings from Sirius time and again in reports of extra-terrestrial exchanges. Through many of them a common thread of belief is expressed - this being that the Sirian Star-People are a benign race concerned only with aiding the evolution of life on this planet.
And Finally
The 33 degree Freemason Albert Pike once wrote in his 'Morals and Dogma' that he believed the blazing star venerated in the lodges of Freemasons throughout the world is in fact the star Sirius.
Some years later Alice Bailey maintained that the whole structure of the Freemasonic movement is indeed based upon the Great White Lodge of Sirius whilst the writer David Ovason has directly identified many key events surrounding the design and creation of buildings in Washington DC as being instigated by Freemasons with a strong bias towards the rising of Sirius.
Are we once again seeing a slow evolvement in our societies into a Sirian framework much in the same way that the Egyptians once had?
I personally believe this to be the case and the next few decades are going to be very interesting indeed.
