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.

Palistinian Flag, A German Flag and the Magen David,...Next to a flag reads (rough translation): This flag was created based on the humanistic thought of peace and unitiy between all peoples (countries). It is the inheritance to all German post-WWII generations...

Ornamented brick Hexagrams and crosses on the building of the Catholic University of Leuven, Belgium, which was founded in 1425. It is the oldest of all the catholic universities in the world.While the hexagram, formed by two equilateral interlacing triangles, may stand for the world with its material and spiritual aspects and their manifold polarities given to our perception, the beyond is marked here by the commonly accepted sign for infinity and eternity, namely the figure 8 in horizontal position: oo.
It is not merely incidental that this sign is composed of two joining zeros. The supposed naught (no thing) before there was anything could be indicated by one zero. The joining of two zeros to form the figure 8 was apparently invented to indicate the state beyond, or "after", the perceptible world characterized by the number seven and what it stands for (e.g. 7 days; 7 colors of the visible light; 7 notes of the scale). In its horizontal position, the sign oo would then mark eternity so-to-speak "before" and "after" the world of 7, the latter being embedded therein. This "before" and "after" should not be understood merely timewise. It rather includes --even foremost so-- the so-called supernatural forces attributed to the Divine which our present science is not able to "count, measure, weigh".
Not surprisingly, the number eight plays an important role in the Tanakh which, inter alia, ordains circumcision as a sign of the Divine Covenant to be performed on the eighth day.
The Magen David is defensive; it is supposed to protect its bearer. One can learn this from the original Hebrew name, Magen David, which means Shield of David, and one can remember how King David won his battles only by the support of the Almighty. But since thought is dualistic it has always an opposite side in the background. No wander Liam Baldwin asked himself whether the Star of David can be offensive… he came up with a funny answer – a ninja weapon! I like Liam's fruitful imagination – he took something we all know, something familiar, and showed it to us from an unexpected direction.
