Dreams Made Out Of Stone

Until now most of the six-pointed stars I showed on this blog from India were Mogul (Muslim) but this one is a Hindu Star.

I found this in Hampi, Karnataka... Hampi is a very old sacred pilgrimage place: temples that stretch over an 26 square kilometers area... I really ask myself why would they use it in India only for decorative use... I don’t know I think they must have been more behind it... the star symbol on the pillar is very very old from the 14th century... more I don’t know...

Looking for more info about this place I found a very informative article on
www karnataka com; like: 

If dreams were made out of stone, it would be Hampi...
Saint Vidyaranya established the seat of Vijayanagara empire in 1336 C.E.

Hampi is a World Heritage Centre

It is very common to see Magen Davids on Torah Arks all around the world.

Inventiveness

It is an inspiring concept which challenges to ask what other things can be made this way?
My answer is: ice cubes; Yellow cheese...

Kite

Ministry of National Infrastructures

the logo of the Israeli Ministry of National Infrastructures has a superb Star of David design, but it is hard to find what is the connection between it and the Ministry’s responsibilities.

The Star of David is a Symbol – but what is a Symbol?
I entered the keywords DEFINE: Symbol into Goggle’s search-window and got many interesting answers. You may do the same...

Moroccan Seal of Solomon

Marc Pelletier wrote a brilliant article that tries to answer the question:

Why did the Moroccan ruler My Sulayman [1792-1822 AD] use the Seal of Solomonon for his bronze Falus? It also answers the question why this shape appears on some Moroccan flags…

But how did this symbol (Seal of Solomon) succeed in rallying the population to bronze coins? It was seen as a protective magical icon and as endowed of it's original power as a buckler. Moreover, it's magical powers are multiplied by the fact that it also represent a pair of eyes - one upright, and the other flipped over - sharing a single pupil. It thus acts as a shield from the "evil eye". It is preponderant with it's magical power.
