Seal of Solomon - Protection - steel pendant

The Star of David, or more precisely the Shield of David, or also the Seal of Solomon, is the six-pointed star that, together with the Menorah, represents Jewish civilization and religiosity.

Having become a symbol of Zionism since the Basel Congress (1895), it is present on the flag of the State of Israel.

The six-pointed star is also a very widespread symbol in Kabbalah and occultism in general.

The Seal of Solomon is a symbol consisting of two interlocking equilateral triangles, known as an hexagram, six-pointed star, or hexalpha.

The Seal of Solomon expresses the union of heaven and earth, of the spiritual world with the material world.

It is formed by two crossed equilateral triangles and, sometimes, inscribed in a circle.

The Triangle with the vertex pointing down represents the two heavy elements, Water and Earth, whose corporeal principle makes them tend downwards, while the Triangle with the vertex pointing up represents the two light and spiritual elements, Air and Fire.

With the crossing of the two triangles, a central hexagon is formed that represents the heart of man stable in an equilibrium at the center of the bodily movement that allows one to reach wisdom and inner strength.

Furthermore, when there is a dot inside the central hexagon, it symbolizes the union of all existing elements.

The Seal of Solomon is a very ancient symbol, made known starting from the Middle Ages, when it took on the characteristics of a talisman.

The symbol of the six-pointed star is not without archetypal value, given that it is found in very different cultural areas. The two interlocking triangles, although iconographically associated with Judaism (Star of David), also appear in the symbolic heritage of Islam, in which they have taken on therapeutic-magical and alchemical values. In this latter field, they are interpreted as the symbol of the balance between the cosmic forces of Fire and Water.

It is said that the famous King Solomon, son of King David, used it until the moment of death to drive away demons and invoke angels. For this reason, the six-pointed star is also called the Seal of Solomon or the Shield of David.

The six-pointed star often appears in magic books and popular exorcisms with the function of a powerful magic symbol. In magic ceremonies, it is painted on the magician's chest to protect him from evil influences and curses. It even becomes fundamental in invocations, because together with the magic circle drawn at the feet of the sorcerer, it is the only defense against the evoked creatures. And it is also the basic design of many auspicious and protective talismans.
