Star of David in different cultures

The Star of David is a world symbol and has many names - magendovid, shield of David, seal of Solomon or hexagram. Each culture or country has its own options for deciphering the meaning of a six-pointed star.

India. In ancient times, this talisman signified the destructive power of Kali and the generating power of Shiva. In modern society, the interpretation has changed and represents the unity of good and evil, man and God, male and female principles. There is also another popular Indian interpretation of the star – it is considered the image of the love chakra.

Freemasonry. For Freemasons, the Star of David symbolized life experience.

Middle East. The symbolism was the personification of the white lily.

Sumerians. The star, which has six rays, referred to the goddess Ishtar, who was the patroness of war and carnal pleasures.

Israel. In Judaism, Jews are considered a blessed nation. In a star, a triangle looking up characterizes the superiority of intelligence and strength, and a figure pointing down means weak and silly people without willpower.

Islam. For Muslims, the sign of David meant not only the simultaneous desire of the human soul for the earthly and the divine, but also wealth or protection from harm.

For alchemists, the six-pointed star symbolized the philosopher's stone and was a sign of immortality. The most ancient explanation of the sign in many countries is the personification of all the elements or the four cardinal directions.

Meaning of David’s Star in Christianity

In addition to Jewish culture, the sign in question is often found in Christianity. It is often called the star of the Creator, since it symbolizes the Star of Bethlehem, which pointed the way to the birthplace of the Messiah.

The image was fixed in the mosaic of Orthodox churches and symbolized the struggle of God with the Devil, as well as the unity of human and divine forces.

In addition, Christians saw the star as a model of the universe, due to the fact that the Earth was created in just six days. However, there were also those who were wary of this image because they associated it with the number of the beast due to the presence of six sides and angles in the figure.

Meaning on the Star of David in magic

Sorcerers regularly wear magendovid during magical rituals - it helps accumulate and preserve energy.

For magicians, the hexagram is a symbol of the fusion of the physical body with the spirit. Fortune tellers and clairvoyants should always keep the Star of David with them - it will protect against the attacks of dark forces, and will prevent attempts by invisible creatures to capture the consciousness of the medium without his consent.

In Kabbalistic teachings the following interpretation of the six triangles is given: severity, glory, beauty, power, infinity and mercy. All these features come together in the center and form a single whole.

Who should wear this talisman and how it helps

You can wear the Star of David as a talisman in the form of a pendant, ring or locket - it will protect you from the evil eye, damage or love spell, and will also help you avoid premature death.
