..which we owe to the bounty of Divine Providence, which is hieroglyphically represented by the Blazing Star...

All I had to do was google “Sirius in Freemasonry”.
I would include some but, there are literally thousands of links.
Pretty much every link states that the ‘Blazing Star’ represents Sirius in Freemasonry.

You're quoting Albert Pike's opinion, not Masonic ritual like I posted.

He was a high level and educated freemason.
You will never understand freemasonary by ritual alone.
And you'll never understand it at all without one of us masplaining it to you.

Normally when peeps start with personal slander it means they are not doing so well in a debate.

Maybe because you are being obtuse in simply quoting a recently evolved ritual that is not what was the original?
The earliest masonic texts each contain some sort of a history of the craft, or mystery, of masonry. The oldest known work of this type, The Halliwell Manuscript, or Regius Poem, dates from between 1390 and 1425. This document has a brief history in its introduction, stating that the "craft of masonry" began with Euclid in Egypt, and came to England in the reign of King Athelstan (born about 894, died 27 October 939)
.[1] Shortly afterwards, the Cooke Manuscript traces masonry to Jabal son of Lamech (Genesis 4: 20–22), and tells how this knowledge came to Euclid, from him to the Children of Israel (while they were in Egypt), and so on through an elaborate path to Athelstan.[2] This myth formed the basis for subsequent manuscript constitutions, all tracing masonry back to biblical times, and fixing its institutional establishment in England during the reign of Athelstan (927–939).[3]

He was the same 'level' as the rest of us, the fact that you even use that word shows how little you know about Masonic structure.
You will never understand freemasonary by ritual alone.
