Osiris might be connected to the star Sirius. Since when Sirius rises the Nile floods. The Native Americans a d the Indians both used Astrology. It had two functions one was spiritual in order to know when Holidays occurred. Since calendars and clicks were only invented in the last few hundred years. The other use was more mundane. @Mel Hopkins although you may not see yourself as a perfectionist. You seem to check more than one source before you post. Osiris as Leo makes sense to me Astrologicaly. Isis as Virgo the virgin also fits. Set makes more sense as Capricorn. While Horus initially strikes me as Scorpio or perhaps Aquarius. I like balance since there are four major characters . It would be more elegant if they were the fixed signs. Isis Taurus which is ruled by Be Venus. Which is the most feminine sign. Osiris as Leo which is ruled by the Sun. Which represents the archetypal male and the ruler. Horus as Aquarius which is ruled by Saturn. The Lord of time and Karma. Set as Scorpion since it is ruled by Mars. Which represents warriors and acting on feeling. A lot of the spirituality was expunged with Judaism and Christianity. Which led to religion being weaponised. However most European countries had a history of paganism and belief in magic and shamanism. So the corruption was most likely by the ruling class. When they realised they were outnumbered. So religion was used as a means of controlling the masses. This hasn't changed religion and spectacle have consistently been used as a means of control. Which is why the Romans and gladiators fighting and chariot races in the Coliseum. The Greeks had theatre in the Coliseum. In current times we are kept complacent by the same types of entertainments.
