This blog (by Zeev Barkan) is dedicated to the Star of David, its history, its various meanings and usages in different cultures. It includes thousands of pictures of Star of David, six-pointed stars, hexagrams, Solomon's Seals, Magen Davids and yellow badges,and served as a resource for three books and four art exhibitions.
In the Kali yantra, the goddess is represented by the eight-petalled lotus, which stand for the eight elements : earth, water, fire, air, ether, mind, intellect and ego-sense.
Photo is courtesy of Hayim Shtayer who bought this figurine in the Jewish Ethiopian community of Chatzrot Yasaf, caravan site in northern Israel, which was dismantled afterwards. The Lion of Judah and the six-pointed star are emblems of former Ethiopian emperor Haile Selassie, therefore it is not clear if the artist made this figurine because he was Ethiopian or because he was Jewish.
