Sirius was closely observed by all ancient cultures - you find discussions here on the Egyptians, Maya and Dogon as for all of them the dog days around the 26 of July were of importance. Sirius always reminds me of Isis - as Orion of Osiris - and thus I perceive the energy of Sirius as being very feminine - like the energy of a loving and caring mother who would do anything for her child.

Sirius is connected to the symbol of the Ankh - and Ankh means water and it is the symbol of LIFE, given to man by the gods.

Instead of repeating now what you will find in the discussions below, I would like to quote a passage from the Message From Lord Of Sirius trhough Michelle Coutant which illustrates perfectly well what Sirius stands for - and at the same time shows us a way, gives us a task, helps us understand what WE CAN DO NOW to raise the vibratory rate of us and the Sacred Sites all around the Earth:

Reach out to us, your brothers and sisters on Sirius.  Go into meditation with the intention to connect with me, to connect with the blessed Christed beings of Sirius.  Set your intention to connect with the blessed group vibration of the ascended masters.  Sirius has been a gathering point, a way station for these blessed beings, who have delayed their progression and growth in the light, to assist you in yours.  As you move more fully into the light, these blessed beings, will begin to make their focal point the planet earth.  It is already happening, beloved ones.  More and more, the ascended masters, the Council of Light, are gathering on your planet, as they once again, fully make Mt. Shasta, Shambhala, and other sacred sites their home.  As crystalline activations are completed in the fullness of the diamond light, the Council of Light will once more take up residence in many sacred locations which have received the full light of the diamond crystalline vibration. 

Go into meditation, allow yourselves to be open to receiving the vibration of a sacred site which will resonate with you.  With this resonation, you will also feel the vibrations and resonation of the ascended masters associated with this sacred site.  Add your light to the whole, dear ones; add your light to the fullness of the vibrations of the diamond light to assist the sacred sites into full consciousness.  They too, are conscious, make no mistake.  Just as your mother earth has consciousness, so do the sacred sites and nodes of power, through the added influence and continuity of the formation of particular grids and leylines which are most significant to each sacred site.  Flow your light to the sacred site which resonates with you, dear ones.  Flow your light and assist the coming into full consciousness and power of the diamond light, for this sacred site. 

For those who are unfamiliar with sacred sites, you may do an internet search for sacred sites around the world and find a wealth of information. Please listen your inner wisdom to guide you in knowing which sacred sites to assist in coming into full consciousness.

There are also sacred sites around us, where we live, which need our light, sites which are not on any formal list of sacred sites. These may be natural land or water formations, or human made. These sacred sites, which have not been considered sacred sites in the past, are being activated now, as these sites are free of the density, and low vibrations which humanity has infused into the earth. The activation is part of the ascension process. Please use your inner wisdom and guidance to assist these sacred sites, where you live.
