The Star Goddess: Sopet

  The Star Goddess  
 

Sopet was associated with the star Sirius, and she was honored at the "Per Sopet" festival, which means "The coming forth of the goddess". It was the oldest festival in ancient Egyptian history.

As the star Sirius appeared over the horizon for the first time the Egyptians saw in that event the appearance of the goddess cloaked in robes of brilliant light. Sopet poured her cosmic waters onto the earth to begin the agricultural cycle.
