The hexagram consists of two overlapping triangles. The one thing that many people associate with a hexagram is the Star of David. Religiously, the hexagram symbolizes the relation of man and God. But the strange thing is that the hexagram is not mentioned in the Bible, so the origin of the hexagram’s connection to the Star of David is a little strange. The Star of David does mean ‘David’s Shield,’ and it was worn by Jews or placed on Jewish amulets so its wearer could have good luck and ward off bad luck.
Today the flag of Israel does have a hexagram, more specifically the Star of David. However, the hexagram can also symbolize male and female, like Yin-Yang. In European magick, the hexagram is used for spirit mastery and for removing malicious spirits, and it is also used in alchemy as a symbol of distillation. It may also symbolize the Philosopher’s stone, a stone that could change metals into more valuable ones, such as gold or silver.
