Sirius Behenian

Sirius is one of the directly attested Behenian stars in the local magical corpus. That gives the page a stable historical frame and lets it stay focused on the actual materia and operations preserved in local sources. (Hess and Warnock, De Quindecim Stellis; Agrippa, Three Books, Book II, ch. 47)

Warnock's summary of the Bodleian material and Agrippa's list pair Sirius with beryl and savine juniper, with Agrippa adding mugwort, dragonwort, and the tongue of a snake. The effects preserved in those same sources are distinctive: favor, goodwill, and the power to reconcile rulers or other divided parties. That is a much cleaner and more useful emphasis than the older generic page about brilliance or celebrity. (Warnock, Fixed Star, Sign and Constellation Magic; Agrippa, Three Books, Book I and Book II, ch. 47)

Ptolemy gives the bright star in Canis a Jupiter-and-Mars nature, while Brady's concise phrase for Sirius is the fire of immortality. Those later interpretive layers help describe the star's force, but the strongest local historical evidence is still about honor, favor, and concord. (Ptolemy, Tetrabiblos, Book I, ch. 9; Brady, Brady's Book of Fixed Stars)

So the safest summary is that Sirius is a Behenian star of strong presence used in the local corpus for reconciliation, influence, and dignified agreement rather than for inflated slogans about exceptional destiny.
