how to draw a unicursal hexagram

The hexagram is a unique shape in geometry. The opposing and overlapping triangles used to create it often represent two forces that are both opposing and interconnected. Continue this thread level 1. Although using this method, let me mark out (and then paint) a Babalon seal on my new altar within minutes (except the painting, which took a day)Thanks for the maths Frater Nuin!

The triangle is such a central symbol in Christian iconography as a represent the Trinity and thus spiritual reality. Did you know you can draw a hexagram in using only one line? ...@shiva - I'm also looking for the same information with regards to the Star of Babalon. I find it so illuminating to draw these figures by hand. Hmm... That's a deal, you jive-a turkey. To obtain equidistant points -- those that are an equal distance from one another -- it cannot be drawn in a unicursal manner. Finally, triangles are commonly used in alchemy to Its points are of disproportionate size, which places the emphasis on the spirit-matter dynamic, on the more direct paths to complete union. The unicursal hexagram is commonly depicted with a five-petaled flower in the center.

It also commonly references the union of the spiritual and the physical, with spiritual reality reaching down and physical reality stretching upward. I suppose you could use a ruler and some geometry. Caveat lector, indeed!Are s...Be careful what you say. The hexagram also came to have Kabbalistic and occult meaning. The points aren’t equidistant, and the lines aren’t the same length (unlike a regular hexagram). Draw the Invoking Hexagram of Earth for Saturn while vibrating ARARITA. I would like to draw and paint both without resorting to computer printouts.Something like Frater Achad's example of how to plot the tree of life using circles?Or something like what you see here for plotting a perfect egg.When I am not feeling confident to do the hexagram freehand, I draw six points.Without changing the radius stick the point anywhere on the edge of the circle.Mark the edge of the circle where the pencil crosses the line.Move the point to the new mark and make a further mark.Thanks OKontrair!

This will come in very handy!You are more than welcome. LAShTAL.COM -- Home of The Aleister Crowley Society Its always surprising what other figures you find along the way.Don't. @shiva Hildegard von Binden was a prominent Christian m...@shiva You can create a

The Seal of Solomon originates in medieval tales of a magical signet ring possessed by Here is the path that worked for me: top, front, back, bottom, right, left, then top.I have made a rough little animation to illustrate what Steve meant. Honestly I never wold have figured that out....Delta: Thank you as well that document will be very valuable!Thanks for that, the order just has to be one or the other of two possible starting directions, from any point. Finally, one can use the Invoking Hexagram of Earth for Saturn. A unicursal hexagram is possible. It's not possible to draw an equal sided 2D unicursal hexagram. He h...@djedi - Yes, you can find it in tzadik.com catalog: In the Middle Ages, the hexagram was often referred to as the Seal of Solomon, referencing a Biblical king of Israel and son of Because of these multiple associations, some Jews, particularly some Orthodox Jews, do not use the Star of David as a symbol of faith. The unicursal hexagram is a six-pointed star which can be drawn in one continuous movement. The unicursal hexagram is a six-pointed star that can be drawn in one continuous movement. My way: Back, Up, Left, Right, Down, Front, Back...et merci m'sieur triangle /delta for that geometry link tooHow did you come to this? The meaning of the unicursal hexagram is largely identical to that of a standard hexagram: the union of opposites. I'm off to get a compass tomorrow this sounds like just what I needed. The unicursal hexagram, however, more strongly emphases the intertwining and ultimate unity of the two halves, rather than two separate halves coming together.

Its points are equidistant, but the lines are not of equal length (unlike a standard hexagram). The unicursal hexagram can be drawn in one continuous line (unlike the normal hexagram), accentuating the ultimate unity between the divine and the manifest that every hexagram represents. It can, however, fit inside a circle with all six points touching the circle.

(Or not one capable of being drawn in a circle.) Due to this, the use of the hexagram in Christian occult thought is fairly common. I prefer to start in the centre rather than on a face. Rotate the cube 45% and tilt it towards you 45% and the connecting lines make the unicursal hexagram as seen in 2di too enjoy drawing sacred geometrical shapes freehand, too often at work doodling on everything in sight lolI drew a twice 45°-rotated cube (it's an hexagon) as well as the vertical and horizontal axes of symmetry of every face of the cube (thus drawing the inner hexagon that contains the hexagram) and followed your instructions, but the resulting figure didn't look like an unicursal hexagram. Does anyone know of a good resource for plotting a perfect Unicursal Hexagram on paper? I drew the cube but the points dont seem to match up right. Don't.
