History

The unicursal hexagram is used to express a high level of self confidence and belief that you can achieve the highest of goals and become a divine figure.

Aleister Crowley's adaptation of the unicursal hexagram placed a five petaled rose, (symbolizing the divine) in the center; the symbol as a whole making eleven (five petals of the rose plus six points of the hexagram), the number of divine union.

It is also used in the Greek and Hindu Mythologies. as a symbol of dedication to the divine rulers.

A unicursal hexagram is also seen as a symbol of the solar system in some Pagan philosophies, with the central intersection representing the sun and the outer intersections and points representing the celestial bodies.
