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.
previously published mandala paintings.
The story is this: I was traveling Israel with a group of "Birthright-Israel" aka "TAGLIT", we were sitting in a tent in the negev a after some group activity we lit some candles and formed a MAGEN-DAVID of them.
The photo is of a mobile hanging in my mother's garden. My mom has an eclectic mix of items in her garden that range from the Star of David, to Buddhist sculptures, gargoyles, carved wooden statues of Native American and americana themes, pieces from local artists and her own artistic creations made from old windows doors, bathtubs and boats. Whatever she is drawn to finds a place in her garden and yard
