Osiris is an extremely complex and multi-faceted deity who sat at the head of the Egyptian pantheon. The highly esteemed nature of Osiris is evident in every single facet of the civilization of the Nile. He was regarded as a God of resurrection, the afterlife, silence, fertility, agriculture, medicine, vegetation, and many other domains. Highly prominent in the pantheon of the state of Egypt, Osiris was considered the Father of Egyptian civilization and the husband of Isis.
He represented both the heliacal rising of the star Sirius and the stars of Orion—a very holy matter for the Egyptians—and the annual agricultural cycle that united their civilization was closely tied to the exploits of Osiris. Egypt was a farm-centered civilization, and Osiris represented the germination of the seed, the sowing of the soil, and the resurrection of the grain. The silt created by the inundation phase of the Nile was also associated with him, as it was the lifeblood that allowed farms to prosper.
Representing fertility and abundance, Osiris was therefore a very pivotal deity in day-to-day matters.
Primarily, however, Osiris was the God of Death in Egypt whose importance to tombs and rites of the dead was paramount. Funerary inscriptions relay that the
ankh of a deceased person was related to the judgement of Osiris. Those who had practiced goodness in the form of right meditation and virtue would receive a good
ankh and be seated in proximity to Him in death, being above the confusion of the world of the lesser individuals.
While Anubis, the son of Nephthys and Osiris, was invoked in shaping the bodies of all people after death, Osiris was regarded as being closer to a more select group of people. To have the esteemed
ankh was no small accomplishment.
Although Osiris was regarded as a powerful deity, the Egyptians believed in an incarnated aspect of Him who first served as the royal herald and later became the right hand of the Pharaoh and the High Priest of Egypt. Plays and other types of dramatic enactments describing his life story and acts started in Egypt and survived well into the Christian period, appearing far into the Middle Ages. Osiris was regarded as a personable God and the most humanlike of all Gods, but these portrayals of His life also reveal that godhood is not simply a given; it must be earned by all who seek to defy death.
Being a symbol of working towards the state of divinity, Osiris deals with the ultimate and highest sphere of free will: the question of orientation towards the Gods and true dedication, being the Lord of Ma’at. This form of free will in relation to the Gods is utterly sacrosanct and cannot be violated. One cannot follow a fake or distorted form of Satanism, nor can one be a Satanist while acting in opposition to the Gods, nor can anyone be forced into Satanism without being fully informed. For this reason, Osiris represents an oppositional figure of Truth against the slave creeds called 'religions' that populate the Earth, as well as the ideology of brutal communism simmering beneath their surface.
One subject that Osiris represents heavily is silence and contemplation, in line with Satan, the Most Holy Father. This is one of the major reasons Harpocrates, the son of Isis and Osiris, is represented with a shushing gesture; from ancestor to son to grandson, the importance of silence and rest is paramount and eternal in progression to a higher form.
The Egyptian priesthood was trained under the symbolism of Osiris in the cities of Heliopolis and Avaris under the guise of a Brotherhood that spread to many cities of Egypt, including Abydos and Alexandria. Much like the Mysteries of Isis, the Mystery was conceptualized in the guise of a ladder with levels of Initiation, Progression, Distillation, and Completion for those who had gone through the threshold of its doors, a matter that is conveyed with complexity in the Platonic dialogues. When travelling in Egypt after the death of Socrates, Plato went to observe these holy rites directly. Despite being heavily corrupted, elements of this Osirian system still survive in Freemasonry.
Osiris was closely associated with the Apis Bull, a sacred being in Egypt. The Bull, selected for its purity and physical perfection, symbolized aspects of Pharaonic power. While alive, it represented some of the might and power of Ptah, but upon its death, it became associated with Osiris, embodying mastery over the four directions and the powers in death. It was equated with Taurus in the Dendera temple complex.

The Great Temple of Osiris, also known as Taposiris Magna, was located at Abydos. This complex featured three sanctuaries and ceremonial rooms of great length. It housed the primary Festival of Osiris, which was continually expanded by the Pharaohs and celebrated throughout Egypt. Cleopatra VII is known to have orchestrated a significant renovation of this complex, incorporating Hellenistic elements, likely to cement her popularity among the inhabitants of Upper Egypt. Osiris was also worshipped on the island of Philae.

After the Greek conquest of Egypt by Alexander the Great, Serapis came to represent Osiris in a Greek guise and with aspects of the Apis interwoven into His symbolism. Curiously, however, the first Temple of Serapis is recorded in Babylon rather than Egypt. Alexander is known to have participated in certain rites adjacent to this temple, leading some to believe major aspects of Serapis have origins in Mesopotamian imagery.
Nonetheless, the Egyptians clearly equated this deity too with Osiris:
Following Osiris - Perspectives on the Osirian Afterlife from Four Millennia, Mark Smith
The historical record shows that Osiris-Serapis maintained His status as one of the most popular and enduring Gods by the time the Romans had conquered Egypt. His cult had spread as far as Scotland and India. By this point, he had become the patron God of the city of Alexandria. The Serapeum dedicated to Him in that city, built by Ptolemy III Soter, was the greatest academic temple complex in the entire known world and one of the greatest centers of ancient learning. As one can see on this map, it took up a significant amount of urban space in Alexandria:

The temple was built on a high platform accessible only by stairways, overlooking the sea and Lake Mareotis on the other side. It housed a significant annex containing a vast collection of research and tomes from the Great Library of Alexandria, the central scientific and religious hub of the world. The Serapeum spanned several hundred feet in length and width, exceeding the base dimensions of many modern skyscrapers and civic buildings. Underground tunnels in the Serapeum, associated with priestly functions and the Mysteries, were so long that they extended deep into the lake and harbor.
SYMBOLISM OF OSIRIS
View attachment 5254
His name relates to the constellation Orion and the star Sirius, something that blatantly survives in the Greek rendition of his name. The code of his name, Usir, both in sound and in the shape of the hieroglyphs, also relates to 'the throne of the Eye,' signifying His connection to the activation of the Third Eye and surrounding chakras. His name is also associated with Might and Power, correlating to the ability of Demons to 'see' beyond human perception, as well as the power of the 'act'—a Demon is no longer a force purely 'acted upon' but one that animates itself.
The crook and flail He wields represent royal and stately power, as does the Crown of Atef showing truth and justice, also showing the union of Egypt. Osiris embodies the wisdom and responsibility of rulership, symbolizing the Pharaoh's duty to make the land and state fertile. In this, however, is a reference to Orion, the true original realm of civilization and the abode of the Gods who taught humanity civilization and agriculture.
Serapis-Osiris is given the thyrsus, a staff with a pinecone relating to the powers of the Pineal gland and the seat of witchcraft in the soul. Iamblichus stated in his Life of Pythagoras that the meanings of the Greek and Egyptian theology were shared in content beyond the surface in a complex manner.
Osiris is associated with the Rune of Dagaz, with which he shares many mysteries with Thoth and other divinities. The circulation of energy around the Sixth Chakra is one of the symbols of Osiris. Notable in this is a reference to the visual shape of the constellation
Orion, hidden in the form of the Upper Chakras:
View attachment 5257
Notably, Dagaz is also shaped like a butterfly, another symbol of Osiris, representing resurrection and rebirth from the pupillary stage of existence. It also symbolizes the two opened eyes present on the Sigil of the God and even the traditional shape of an hourglass. The two triangles of Dagaz intersect in the middle, symbolizing union and the perfect instant, while alluding to other geometric mysteries through which one can comprehend deeper processes of the universe.
Osiris was a major God representing the specifically masculine aspects of fertility and sexuality; consequently, He was often depicted with an erection. Beyond symbolizing the seed of the masculine principle, this also relates to the symbolism of Dagaz in orgasm and union. Another aspect of this is the uniting function between the Sixth Chakra and the Sacral Chakra in sexual matters, as visual and sensory stimuli lead to physical arousal. In some languages, orgasms are referred to as 'the little death.'
This relates to one of the meanings of the traditional story of Set cutting Osiris into fourteen (sometimes twenty-six or forty-two, the latter representing the number of provinces in Egypt) parts and scattering them throughout the land. The human left to the forces of nature is metaphorically 'cut up' into pieces, unable to resist the forces of existence, and reduced to the basics of survival, with only the life-force sustaining them.
The widow of Osiris, Isis, accomplishes the feat of finding the missing pieces and stitching them back together. The Osirian myth pertains to Astarte presiding over major aspects of connection in the soul and accessing the inert feminine powers of the soul. Only in establishing the connection of the fourteen Chakras and making them work in together does someone transcend the mortal realm of their existence by progressing on the path of Godhood. Naturally, this should begin with the Third Eye or Ajna of Osiris, as we recommend on the site.
Death represents a sort of finality, a severing away from both the mortal body and the ‘social self.’ It is a stage of contemplation where the pure self is ideally meant to come to a valuation of their actions. Osiris is represented by the Four of Pentacles in light of this. This is a card that frequently represents a necessity to move forward from feelings of scarcity or to contemplate one’s situation keenly.
View attachment 5253
As one of the major Gods of Death, Osiris is associated with the Death card of Tarot, of which the scythe cuts not only the head of the peasants but also the crowned kings, meaning it will reach both regardless of earthly prestige. Just as Osiris triumphs against Set, Death also represents the potential reversal of this process. For this reason, Osiris is represented in the Star card where Sirius is beheld by Isis in the reflection of the water. Certain aspects of this and the Set myth parallel the meanings of steps of the Magnum Opus itself, with putrefaction being purified by spirit and leading directly to conjunction, leading to the Union of the father and son after various types of transmutation.
Unsurprisingly, as the God associated with Orion, He also represents many aspects of masculinity, and is linked to the Odhal rune. Just as He represented the body of Egypt scattered by Set, Osiris symbolizes the active union of individuals into a collective biological and spiritual entity, bound by their heritage—a mechanism that perfectly complements reincarnation and rebirth.
Most importantly, among all the symbolism, Osiris sits upon the waters of creation, existence, and consciousness, transcending these as a celestial and holy entity. These waters reflect the nature that JG Alexandros Iowno explained
here. They also represent the powers of procreation, linked to the Sacral Chakra. The famous blue-green skin of Osiris in Egyptian symbolism represents the high atmic level of spiritual power He possesses, symbolizing both the sky reflecting onto the deep ocean and nature’s rejuvenating power.
OSIRIS AND THE ENEMY
As could be expected of the God who was the patron of the city where Christianity originated, Osiris is one of the most stolen from, reinterpreted, and attacked Gods by the enemy. In Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, this thievery is so complex and intricate that it requires a lengthy explanation.
JUDAISM
The Biblical story of Joseph is a reformulation of the God as a Hebrew patriarch. The Joseph name in Hebrew means ‘He who is gathered.’ Accordingly, in the course of this story, Joseph, born to Judah, is heralded as greater than his eleven brothers and the Sun and the Moon, coming up to fourteen. Due to jealousy, Joseph is sold as a slave by his eleven brothers and sought by his father and mother.
Joseph is sold as a slave to Potiphar, his fifth master. He is set upon with desire by the wife of Potiphar, who has him imprisoned by her outraged husband. After several years in prison, he interprets the dreams of an imprisoned royal cupbearer dreaming about a three-branched vine producing wine and of a royal baker about bread scavenged by birds. Joseph asks for both of them to obtain his freedom.
The cupbearer, in line with Joseph’s dream interpretation, is freed and restored to the Pharaoh’s service, while the baker, who quickly forgets Joseph, is hanged and devoured by birds. After some years, the Pharaoh dreams about seven lean cows devouring seven fat cows. Released from prison, the cupbearer remembers Joseph’s power to interpret dreams and asks the Pharaoh to release him. The latter takes the Pharaoh’s dream to be an indication of seven years of prosperity and seven years of severe famine.
He prepares for the scarcity by telling the Pharaoh to hoard grain as the prophecy unfolds and all nations succumb to famine; even the Egyptian priests sell themselves as slaves for grain. Joseph comes to rule Egypt as an official and ‘Eye’ of the Pharaoh.
Rewarded handsomely, he is given the daughter of the priest of Os (Heliopolis). Eventually, Joseph reunites with his family and brother Jacob, now known as Israel. Judah and Israel bless the Pharaoh, and the Jews settle in the land of Goshen east of the Nile.
Part of the reason for this refashioning of the Osirian myth as a variety of curses relates to race, distributing the masculine and active Jewish claim to be above all of the Gentile races into reality, much like the feminine equivalent of Esther becomes an interloper in the realm of the Persians. Joseph represents the exoteric side of the Hebrew aim in the world.
Therefore, it should not come as a shock that male Jews assumed major positions in all royal courts of Europe during the collapse of the Roman Empire, but more recently in Prussia, Poland, and other states. More recently than that, Jews have come to occupy many senior positions in the United States.
Hostility to Osiris began very early from the anti-theists. Alexandria was essentially the New York City of its time, a bustling metropolis with hundreds of thousands of Jewish residents. Riots between Greeks and Hebrews went as far back as the 2nd century BCE, if not earlier. The Serapeum was first fully attacked and ransacked by a mob during the Kitos War during the reign of Trajan. Later, Hadrian rebuilt much of the temple and gave it a greater grandeur, remodelling part of it on the Platonic Academy in Athens.

CHRISTIANITY
Joseph is regarded as a ‘forerunner’ of Christ by John Chrysostom and other Church Fathers, an admission of theft. This is also one of the sources for the Christian idea that the Pyramids were built by Joseph, as they are known to be aligned with the rising of Sirius.
At this point, new agers and others tend to understand that many aspects of the Nazarene’s story were stolen from Osiris-Serapis, particularly in the format of being a dying-and-resurrecting God. Many across time have also identified the link with the lamentation of Mary at the crucifixion and finding the empty tomb of the resurrected Nazarene to the mythology of Isis gathering the parts of Osiris’ body.
However, other fables of the Nazarene are also directly linked to Osiris that are not as obvious. For instance, the story of Jesus ‘walking on water’ and extending his hand to save the doubting Peter attempting the same feat is intentionally elaborated in the Bible to supplant Osiris.
As JG Alexandros Iowno shows in
Exposing Christianity and Judaism, the title of ‘Christ’ is also stolen from Osiris directly:
There are many other aspects related to this, such as the figure of ‘Peter’ the Apostle. As Tertullian explains, Peter walks and wades on the surface of the waters of consciousness, with the ‘ship’ of Christians torn here and there by ‘persecution’ from Satan, representing the so-called Church. As one should understand by now, the Church is used here to supplant the Cults of Osiris-Serapis, who ordinarily would transform the souls of those coming to the surface.
De Baptismo, Tertullian
Many of these mythologies orient themselves around the code word of ‘Pator’ or father. St. Peter was stolen from a variety of Gods, as [JG] ThomaSsS
explained years ago. As Osiris was the Father of Egypt and much of Christianity originated among the Jewish contingent in Alexandria that had infiltrated the Mystery Schools, the curse on the Great God was necessary to construct in a set of symbols and allegorical meanings, but also to appropriate the Mystery Cult for the Catholic Church.
For example, the appearance of Osiris with the Crown of Atef and the cross in the shape of the Djed Pillar should suggest to the viewer immediately that his attributes were stolen and appropriated for the ‘Pope’ (papa, father) and other religious authorities in Christianity, along with similar priestly regalia of the Mesopotamian civilizations. This thievery was not merely based on the temporal claims to power of the Pope, but also on an arrogant mockery, suggesting that this individual controls all aspects of life and death through the ‘rock’ of ‘Saint Peter’ and the ‘baptismal water’ of Christ. Insidiousness is the essence of the enemy program, and as HPS Maxine elaborated two decades ago, these corruptors made a very real deal to exchange power for souls.
View attachment 5258
As Christianity developed from the immense portion of Alexandrian Jews and the ascetics around Lake Mareotis, the theft had to be covered up for the new religion festering within Rome to cover its tracks. A great design emerged among the enemy groups to destroy the Serapeum and obliterate any remnant of the true God. The Jewish lunatic Tertullian elaborated more on why the Serapeum was a prime target:
De Spectaculis, Tertullian
The Serapeum was subjected to a relentless assault in 391, the same year Theodosius II decreed that no one was permitted to enter any pagan temple on pain of death. During this year, it was ransacked and destroyed by hordes of Christian and Jewish terrorists, which is celebrated widely in the literature of the church.
Eunapius, the Neoplatonic philosopher, claims in his work
Lives of the Philosophers and Sophists that the Christians simply stormed the emptied building unprovoked and copiously stole its valuables. The mob then took a large amount of bones of criminals and slaves condemned to death and erected a monastery to worship these individuals whom they named as saints and intercessors. The Empire erupted into a civil war within months, and Theodosius died of a cancer characterized by extreme water retention three years later, leading the Empire to officially be split into two parts. The Church of Pergamon in Revelation was located inside the Serapeum of that city.
In the Goetia, Osiris is shown to be a lion riding upon a steed burnished with two serpents named Oriax or Orias, who can teach the adept the knowledge of all the stars and planets. The claimed ability of Oriax to metamorphose a man into any shape is related to His mysterious powers of resurrecting the soul.
ISLAM
Unlike the story of Joseph, the equivalent in the Ǫu’ran, Yusuf, is thrown into a cistern or well to die by his brothers, paralleling the myth of Osiris being sealed in a box or thrown down a well by Set more closely. Considering the proximity of Egypt to Arabia, certain mythologies were less altered.
Osiris continued in certain Egyptian and Yemeni myths long into the medieval Islamic period, such as one set of literary traditions named the Tale of Al-Zir Saleem (based on a real individual named Adi bin Rabia), in which a man named Kulaib among the pagan Arabian tribes was brutally murdered by his cousin Jassas. His other brother, a knight named al-Zir, attempts to take revenge on the other tribes of the peninsula and Jassas, later giving way for Kulaib’s son Hijras to do so.
In some forms of the story, Al-Zir is cut into pieces by one of his two servants. His sister discovers this, places his remains in a hide, and throws them into the sea. Al-Zir is then discovered by fishermen, culminating in them bringing him to a king who resurrects and heals him.

In doing His Ritual for the New Year, we honor the greatness of the King of Kings and Lord of Sirius and seek to instate His office for our protection and guidance. May the great King show us the mysteries related to life and death, rebirth and resurrection.
