Ezekiel's Vision

Janik Pilet explains the first chapter in Genesis according to the six-pointed star:
A six-pointed star surrounded by a circle and with a central dot is a traditional representation of the legendary Seal of Solomon in the popular imagery.

“and-brightness to-him around”- The six white-lighted triangles…

“and-four faces to-one”- Scorpio, Leo, Taurus, Aquarius…
