Six Pointed Star

Such a star, also related to the seal of King Solomon, is considered one of the most powerful symbols in the occult. Some occultists, speaking of the hexagram, indicate that it consists of two isosceles triangles inscribed in a circle. The circle itself adds strength and increases meaning. The triangle pointing upwards (called the transmitting triangle) symbolizes masculinity, while the other, pointing downwards, is receptive and symbolizes femininity. Taken together, this means the transfer and continuation of the life process. Both of these triangles are also symbols of water and fire, as well as good and evil spirits. The hexagram, also called "the seal of Solomon", was often used by Jews in Babylonian captivity, but had no occult significance at that time. On the other hand, his connection with Kabbalah is undeniable. It is used on tarot cards and other items required for occult practice. It is very often used as a decoration and is worn as a locket around the neck. It is used on tarot cards and other items required for occult practice.
