Six Hexagrams and Twelve Zodiacal Signs
6 hexagrams and 12 zodiacal signs and glyphs appear on a mosaic ceiling at Greenwich Town Hall, London, England, right above the main door. It is not clear what these hexagrams are doing there and if the number six has a certain meaning. I can only guess that it has to do with the influence of alchemy. Anyhow it’s a splendid contribution to my new research about the hexagram and the Zodiac.

Star of David and Zodiac
Merréll O'Brian created these 12 hexagrams, each with a zodiac glyph, in order to illustrate the connection between the zodiac and the six-pointed star. This is also the subject of my research, no wonder I liked it so much.

Beatles 1964 Performance In Israel
What is the Star of David doing on a ticket to the 1964 cancelled Beatles Performance in Israel? Israel cancelled the performance because there were politicians who said they were afraid it would corrupt the innocent minds of the Israeli youth (but what they really wanted was to gain some votes for next elections).
