The Star of David by Tamar Pewzner.

Tamar explains: 

What is The Star of David

The Star of David is an emblem composed of two equilateral triangles superimposed forming a 6-pointed star or hexagram. Despite being popularly associated with Judaism, this symbol is also used in other religions such as Christianity, Islam and Hinduism.

Before being popularized as a Star of David, it was known as the seal of Solomon or of Khatam Suleiman for Muslims or of Jatam Sholomo for Jews.

The Star of David in the Bible and its origin

It is attributed to King David who, according to the Bible, is the first king appointed by God on Earth. David is the one who faced the giant Goliath, becoming a warrior king and conqueror of lands.

The legend says that the son of King David, the later King Solomon, recorded the fight between David and Goliath in his ring as a symbolic hexagram of that energy and fight between heaven and earth. That is why it was formerly called Solomon's seal and later popularized as The Star of David by the Jews.

Symbology of the Star of David

The Star of David symbolizes, in a general, the conjunction of the energy of the sky together with the energy of the earth. It is known as both a protective and magical talisman as an alchemical symbol (emblem of fire and water) or even a decorative symbol.
