The Martinist Hexagram

Illustration of The Martinist Hexagram is copied from Wikipedia entry Martinism

Martinism is a sort of mystical Christianity, which was founded in the 18th Century in France by Gerard Encausse.

The Hexagram represents the Old Testament, the cross - the New Testament, and the circle represents the gnostic Ouroborus, the serpent which swallows its own tail.

Bulgarian hexagrams

Hexagrams appear on Bulgarian postage stamps issued in 1993. Based on the context it seems that they represent the planets or the stars.  

Double Trines

I asked Israeli astrology expert Khoschen-Klein Monius about appearances of the Star of David symbol in astrology and he answered that astrologers speak about Double Trines (aspects) that form this symbol on the astrological map. (Trines= equilateral triangles).

Then I Googled “Double Trines” and found out that in November 8-9, 2003, there was a lunar eclipse along with a configuration of 6 planets creating a Star of David formed by the two Grand Trines (Double Trines).

It sounds quite interesting to find out if that date, November 8-9, 2003, changed someone’s personal course of life, or if it changed the global course of life – what do you think?

Hexagrams Representing Zodiac Signs

Picture of Mary with the twelve zodiac signs (hexagrams) is courtesy of “tpol33” from Flickr who shot it at the Cathedral of Cologne, Germany. The Statue is called Virgo Immaculata and it was made in 1749. This is the first instance of hexagrams representing zodiac signs that I stumbled upon.

It seems like an illustration of Revelation Chapter 12:

1 A great sign appeared in the sky, a woman

2 clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars.
