Stars, Stripes, and Sirius: The Occult Significance of July 4th
It really is every holiday, huh?
The Fourth of July, recognized as Independence Day in the United States, commemorates the adoption of the Declaration of Independence in 1776, even though it wasn’t signed until August 2nd, 1776.
Though widely regarded as a patriotic holiday, a closer examination reveals layers of occult significance, potentially surprising to many, especially Christians.
As we’ve all discovered, so many things in our lives have their basis in anti-God belief systems. Christians should be aware of these types of things to make well-informed decisions about whether to participate in any activity the way the world does.
Let’s take a look at some of the surprising ways nefarious groups have influenced something as simple as the 4th of July.
The Masonic Connection
Several of the United States Founding Fathers were Freemasons, an association with origins in ancient mystery religions and ‘esoteric knowledge’.

Freemasonry encompasses symbols, rituals, and doctrines often linked with the occult or dating back to the Babylonian Mystery teachings. It is well-acknowledged that Freemasons had a crucial role in America's establishment, and the selection of July 4th as Independence Day is yet another example of Masonic involvement that harbors occult implications that are passed off as innocent fun.
Symbolism of Fireworks
Fireworks feature prominently in Fourth of July festivities. In esoteric traditions, these light and sound displays are not solely for amusement but have deeper symbolic interpretations. Fireworks symbolize the macrocosm of the microcosm, often represented as a cosmic spark—the universe's creative explosion. Scientism might call this “the big bang”. That idea suggests that the small-scale aspects of life reflect the larger, universal patterns.
In the occult ‘Hermetic’ tradition, that idea is represented by the phrase “as above, so below”.
This also aligns with ancient fertility rituals (fireworks symbolize the moment of conception) aiming to usher in new beginnings and honor the sun's annual return.
Christians could view this practice as misdirected worship, concentrating on creation's power rather than the Creator Himself. The Bible mandates that true worship is due to God alone, not His creation.

Fourth of July fireworks and celebrations also connect to the "Universal Brotherhood" rituals, a term frequently connected with Masonic and esoteric fraternities. These factions mark new creations and eras with significant events tied to specific dates and astronomical incidents. While Masons did not invent fireworks, they do use them in their rituals.
One such ritual is that of celebrating the opening or "illumination" of new Masonic lodges in the past with fireworks displays.
For example, in Boston, the annual Boston Pops Fireworks Spectacular is held on the Esplanade along the Charles River. This location was formerly owned by Freemasons and contains many Masonic symbols like the Bunker Hill Monument obelisk. The fireworks display reenacts the "Illumination of the Celestial Lodge" ritual.
Likewise, the famous Macy's 4th of July Fireworks show in New York City takes place over the East River, with the fireworks launched from barges. This waterway was historically used for Masonic maritime rituals and the fireworks are meant to symbolize an "Illumination of the Watery Lodge" ceremony.
Freemasonry has incorporated various ceremonial elements and symbolism related to light and illumination as part of its rituals and teachings. The creation of light in darkness holds symbolic meaning in Masonic traditions.
Fireworks served both a practical role in marking the occasion in a grand, public way as well as playing into the symbolic role of light and illumination that is deeply ingrained in Masonic philosophy and ritual.
The annual fireworks display in Washington D.C. is held on the National Mall, which contains numerous Masonic symbols and monuments like the Washington Monument obelisk. The fireworks are launched from the Reflecting Pool area in front of the phallic obelisk representing the ‘masculine’, and the Capitol building which represents the womb, or the ‘feminine’, both symbolizing fertility rituals.
It certainly makes you wonder if there’s a deeper meaning to why so many secular songs make reference to fireworks and the Fourth of July, such as artists like Katy Perry, Fall Out Boy, Panic! At The Disco, FUN, Drake, The Beach Boys, etc.
The Solar Aphelion and Sirius Conjunction
Freemasons are notorious for idolatry of the sun. But did you know it’s not only the sun they worship?
An astronomical event aligning with the Fourth of July is called the Solar Aphelion, the year's point when the Earth is ‘furthest’ from the sun, or the sun is furthest from Earth, depending on which model one ascribes to.
For the purposes of this article, the point is not whether the geocentric or the heliocentric model is correct, but to point out the esoteric meaning behind the choice of the 4th of July by the Masons.
It’s truly not hard to decipher their symbolism, because they’re quite obvious in their pagan worship of the creation, not the Creator.
That being said, the Solar Aphelion is not a significant date because of the literal position of the sun, but because of what it symbolizes. That is, the point at which the earth is furthest away from light, before being illuminated once again. It represents ‘darkness to light’.
This occurrence is not random but crucial in occult traditions that stress solar worship. Additionally, the sun's conjunction with Sirius, the sky's brightest star, known as the "Sacred Star of Isis" in esoteric traditions, occurs around this date.
Why so Sirius?
It is important to keep in mind that their Lucifierian belief system is built on duality, or, the equivalence of opposites. The sun is only one-half of this equation.
Sirius derives its name from the Greek Σείριος (Seirios), which translates to ‘The Blazing Star’ or ‘The Scorching One’.
According to Bricksmason, “The Masonic Blazing Star is one of the most important symbols of Freemasonry…[it] represents God, the Creator and Supreme Being who purifies us and makes us better and wiser men.”
In higher Scottish Rite degrees, it represents ‘truth’, ‘divine providence guiding humanity’, and the ‘enlightened’ Mason shining brilliantly with ‘knowledge’.
This is among many reasons Freemasonry is not compatible with Christianity. Only Jesus can give us salvation, answers, knowledge, and wisdom and He is the Way to eternal life. (John 14:6) Jesus is the light of the world, and when we are born again we too are the light of Jesus to the world. Whatever ‘light’ the Masons believe they have is worldly, and a product of their mystery religion that elevates Lucifer to the position of a god.
The phrase “the dog days of summer" has its origins in ancient Greek and Roman astrology and mythology and is all about Sirius. The term "dog days" refers to the period when Sirius rises with the sun during the hottest days of summer (July 3rd-August 11th), which coincide with Sirius, the brightest star in the night sky, appearing in the east just before sunrise in the Northern Hemisphere.
In ancient times, Sirius was known as the "Dog Star" because it was part of the constellation Canis Major (the Greater Dog). The "dog days" were closely associated with several canine deities in ancient mythology, such as Orion. In Egyptian mythology, Sirius was associated with the dog-headed god Anubis.
Identified as Sopdet in Egypt, (alternatively termed Sothis by the Greeks), Sirius is equivalent to the goddess Isis and it denoted the yearly flooding of the Nile River, a phenomenon that symbolized fertility to the people.
The rising of Sirius in the sky marked the Egyptian New Year symbolizing rebirth.
What day is the Egyptian/Ethiopian New Year?
September 11th.
According to Fox5, “A yellow lab named Sirius was the only known K-9 to die in the attacks.”

The pup had a badge #17. In the occult Tarot card decks, the number 17 is called The Star, a reference to both Isis and Sirius.
What else is denoted by the number 17? That’s right, Q. The modern-day icon and symbol for ‘patriotism’.
Under the surface, it is a nefarious and blasphemous narrative being perpetuated and believed by the powers-that-should-not-be.
The star Sirius is also linked to the ‘age of Aquarius’, or the ‘Golden Age’, and Saturn. The Hopi call it “the blue Kachina”.
It’s symbolized by the ‘all-seeing eye’ in Masonic lodges (and some Catholic churches). It is the reason all Masonic lodges face East.
Lucifer worship is truly everywhere and very interconnected.
The Truman Show
In the 1998 film, Truman, the main character, is the unwitting star of an international television show bearing his name. He is completely unaware that he’s been filmed since birth. Every part of his life is fabricated and his world is a massive set. Truman begins questioning his life when a production light falls from the counterfeit sky. The light is labeled “Sirius (9 Canis Major).
This scene itself is highly symbolic. Truman holds up the Sirius light between two pillars, representing the eye of Providence in the occult.
The literal light of Sirius is what caused Truman to gain ‘enlightenment’ by having his reality shattered. The movie links Sirius to Lucifer falling from heaven. The Freemasons and occult orders worship Lucifer under his various names, Sirius being one of the most hidden.
Another nickname for Sirius is "Lokis Torch". That’s why you see the Statue of Liberty/Isis/Mithras/Sirius holding the Torch. Lucifer is the light bringer/bearer and the Fourth of July is the celebration of Sirius.
From a Christian perspective, these aspects in our world highlight an inherent and complex reverence for creation (sun and stars) rather than the Creator.
“Because they exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever! Amen.” - Romans 1:25 (ESV)
Solar worship and celestial body veneration are forms of idolatry forbidden in the Bible. (Deuteronomy 4:19)
The Great Inversion of Sirius
Esoteric teachings describe Sirius as the "Spiritual Sun," in contrast to our physical sun. Notice the Luciferian duality in those beliefs - the physical sun represents the exoteric ‘masculine’ principle, while Sirius represents the hidden ‘feminine’ principle. While the physical sun lights up the material world, Sirius is believed to illuminate the spiritual realm. This duality, according to occult teachings, signifies Sirius's role as a symbol of higher wisdom and spiritual enlightenment, just like the role of Lucifer in occult practices. Ancient civilizations viewed the conjunction of the sun and Sirius as a time of significant spiritual energy and transformation. This is also the goal of the occult Kabbalah, merging the male and female principles supposedly brings about enlightenment.
This alignment of the sun and Sirius occurs annually in early July, making it an excuse for wicked cults to perform rituals or enact changes in our world.
One of the biggest changes linked to this concept is what I’ve been calling The Great Inversion (the opposite of The Great Reset and why it’s a dangerous trap).
The Great Inversion signifies a reversal of established norms, power structures, and values, during which hidden knowledge, scandals, and suppressed information rise to the surface, challenging long-standing institutions and belief systems. This concept also includes a transition from the ‘dark world order’ to the ‘false light world order’, or perceived ignorance to false enlightenment.
Could this year mark one of those massive changes?
We’ll have to wait and see and in the meantime make sure we’re putting God first in all things so we’re equipped to help others who may be confused by any coming changes or chaos on the ‘world stage’.
The Dawning of the Age of Apostasy
One blasphemous idea within the New Age and/or Luciferianism is that Jesus Christ is often seen as a symbol of the physical sun or a wise teacher, rather than the only begotten Son of God and our Savior. New Age groups refer to Him as "Sananda Maitreya" and believe He oversaw the Age of Pisces. They view Him as a created being who attained ‘enlightenment’ through works. This idea is rooted in the lie told by Lucifer in the Garden of Eden, suggesting that anyone can achieve enlightenment through works– a claim that contradicts the Bible.
Conversely, what’s called The Age of Aquarius is governed by a being called Saint Germain, who is seen as another ‘Ascended Master’. However, he actually represents Lucifer.
Mormons believe that Satan (Lucifer) is a spirit brother of Jesus.

Consider this concept in the context of the conjunction of the sun and Sirius. The equivalence of opposites. Sun (masculine), Sirius (feminine), Sun (material world), Sirius (spiritual world), Sun (False Jesus), Sirius (Lucifer).
We know all of this is false because Jesus has no equal. (Col. 1:17)
According to New Age beliefs, astrological ages correspond with spiritual and cultural shifts in humanity:
Age of Pisces: Associated with Jesus Christ and Christianity, symbolized by faith, belief, and idealism, and characterized by hierarchical structures, dogma, and organized religion.
Age of Aquarius: Associated with Saint Germain and symbolized by knowledge, understanding, and unity, focusing on individual spirituality, personal growth, and enlightenment, with an emphasis on ‘global consciousness’, humanitarianism, and transcending old paradigms.
Allegedly, the new Age of Aquarius began in 2012. Do the concepts found within the Age of Aquarius sound eerily familiar to the lies peddled by The Great Awakening movement or the NESARA/GESARA lore?
Did you see the Illuminati commercial from 2015 that talks about these ideas?
This type of chatter is building as we approach an election season along with worldwide leadership shakeups. As events continue to unfold, I will be writing articles or making videos to keep you updated on what I see going on in the world and to stay vigilant against the schemes of the enemy.
It’s imperative to stay in the Word, that way we won’t be deceived.

A new financial system would be a big change that we may see in the coming years that would be shocking to all. The FEDs and its trafficking have been in the spotlight as the ‘dark side’ is chosen for exposure, meanwhile, the ‘light side’ will ‘save the day’ with its solution to the problem of things like the Federal Reserve and fiat currency.
More info here:
Many believe humanity will soon experience a flood of previously concealed information and knowledge, which will supposedly bring liberation and changes in various aspects of society, such as government, healthcare, and financial systems. But remember that it’s all just a ‘magic trick’ from the enemy, and none of it is ultimately for our good. It will certainly be interesting to see how things shape up!
Recall that in the higher degrees of the Scottish Rite, The Blazing Star of Sirius/Lucifer denotes elevation from the primitive darkness of the ‘unenlightened’ Masons and the ‘godhood’ of those who have moved ‘from dark to light’. The world is experiencing this Masonic ritual. Sirius is not God, and Masons do not have any truth if they do not have Jesus alone. The same way that the world has no hope or solution if it isn’t solely in the hands of Jesus Christ.
As we approach a year that might look a whole lot like the start of a ‘Sirius shift’, with the ‘light world order’ taking the stage as we go on, remember this is all a complete dupe. Q, Trump, etc. are not operating on God’s behalf, but instead are playing the white side of the chessboard to the globalist black side of the chessboard. They are the Sirius to the Sun, the false light to the dark, the false hope to the world’s chaos.
The Great Reset vs The Great Awakening = The Great Inversion.
Our victory is not in the world. Our victory is because Jesus Christ has already had the victory and overcome this fallen world. If we keep our eyes fixed on Him, whatever comes our way won’t shake us.
Understanding the allure and potential deception of esoteric teachings can help Christians maintain our focus on Jesus Christ as the ultimate source of truth and salvation, and help others out of any traps we may see them fall into.
As we move through this Luciferian inversion do not be deceived by anything going on on the world stage, but instead see it for the sad attempt to sway humanity that it is.
Just as the Declaration of Independence was seen as liberation for the United States, the next ‘Independence Day’ is being touted as a Declaration of Independence for the whole world. Independence from what? “The deep state”, the ‘Cabal’, those who commit crimes against humanity, and everything bad anyone who has done research over the past decade has come across. (Politicians, corrupt religious institutions, banking elites, MSM, the medical mafia, etc.)
But, one only has to look back at history and see this plan is nothing ‘new’ but seemed strategic and planned. From inciting the hippie movement to demonize hemp products that Henry Ford knew could create impressive automobiles, as well as indestructible brick, etc to Tesla and Eiffel’s free-energy tower now known as the ‘Eiffel Tower’, to efficient transport and beyond, the things that could seem miraculous are actually things that were simply hidden, or swept aside for a generation or more and now finally resurfacing.
Can Satan cast out Satan? Nope!
So, even if there are some cool new things on the horizon, just remember that it’s nothing new and it’s all just part of the dualistic coin of Lucifer & co. There is none good but God, and the things of the world must be carefully scrutinized from all angles. We know that God’s Kingdom is not of this world, so let’s stay focused on Him. After all, anything this world can offer us is a cheap knockoff of what our Father is preparing for us! (1 Corinth 2:9)
As Christians, it is crucial to recognize that any human-centered system promising utopia and enlightenment apart from God is a counterfeit. These counterfeit kingdoms often appeal to our desires for peace, prosperity, and spiritual fulfillment but ultimately lead us away from the truth of the Gospel. Jesus warned in Matthew 24:24,
"For false christs and false prophets will arise and perform great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the elect.” - Matthew 24:24
Conclusion
Who knew the 4th of July could be packed with so many wild twists and turns? Aligning such customs as a nation's inception with the alignment of an occult astrological event suggests a syncretism merging patriotic ideology with occult traditions.
The choice of July 4th as Independence Day also signifies a transition from the old order's dominance (symbolized by British rule) to a new era founded on Enlightenment principles, which many argue were deeply influenced by Masonic and esoteric philosophies.
Check out some of those connections in my video:
As Christians, recognizing the occult origins and significance of the Fourth of July prompts deeper contemplation on our celebrations and educates us about what we may need to abstain from passively participating in.
The Bible tells us to look for wisdom and guidance from the Lord, and to worship God in spirit and truth, steering clear of all forms of activities steeped in paganism. If your family gathers together for the holiday, work to put the focus back on God by prioritizing themes of genuine freedom such as freedom from sin and death through Jesus Christ, instead of partaking in rituals with questionable origins.
Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus Christ and you won’t be deceived.
Thank you for reading,

Thank you again Alexandra.. So well done. You are the only substack I support and it's probably not even enough to show my gratitude. Time does seem to be speeding up and so all the more important to shine the light of Biblical truth on every preconceived idea we have been conditioned with in America. I'm re-watching all of the "inconvenient" series since I'm always finding or hearing things I missed the first time through. God bless you and protect you in the name of Jesus.
Alexandra… in 2020, just before the world stopped, I joined a very old Masonic Lodge, just outside Philadelphia.
My step-father (Mom’s husband) got me in and I was learning the rituals, handshakes, and more… and I got to the 2nd Degree.
And at this point, I still knew nothing about the Masons, Albert Pike, the famous Masons… it was just “neat”, so far.
At my 3rd meeting, my step-father left, crossed the street and was hit by two cars and was instantly killed.
He was also a 32rd degree Mason, and I feel awful that he never knew the truth.
Everything immediately changed. I had to take care of my mom, the funeral, the family, everything… and the c-ovid stupidity just started.
And after a few weeks I had a LOT of time, and I started researching the Masons, Albert Pike and his Lucifer connection, the rituals and more.
Also, the Lodge was calling me about when I’m coming back, and to learn about the 3rd Degree.
So, when my mentor called me on Zoom, I asked him about Albert Pike and his connection with Lucifer. I showed the portion of Pike’s book where he basically wrote that the Masons follow him.
He basically just looked at me, tried to explain it, but he had nothing to say. I was done with the Masons.
I burned the stuff and turned away from it all. I never finished my mentorship.
But I started learning about it. It never ends, it seems. Soooo much information!
The funny thing is, because I’m a Christian — I *knew* something was “off” with the Masons. While it was somewhat “interesting”, there was something telling me that it’s not for me.
Soon, after all of that, I found your channel, and I know that we’re blessed that you’re on our side, Alexandra.
Keep on going and teaching… and, I’ll be learning, teaching, and praying, too. 🙏🤓
