The Liturgy

The ritual Sirius, Star of Isis is part of the series Psyche: Magical Journeys of the Goddess by Lady Olivia Robertson.

Read the introduction to Psyche for background about the series, its purpose, and how it came to be written.

Psyche is divided into two parts.

Part 1, The Spiral of Tiamat, travels the ever-widening spheres of Earth, Moon, Sun, and Galaxy.

Part 2, The Rays of Ishtar, consists of psychic journeys to seven constellations that correspond to the Rays.

The eighth psychic journey, to the star Sirius, is the only one that is not to a constellation. It corresponds to the Fourth Ray.

The star Sirius may be thought of as Ishtar herself, descending and ascending through seven spheres, to confront that which is at the center as well as at the boundary of our galaxy. The myth of the descent of Ishtar is structurally similar to the search of Isis for Osiris.
