The
six-pointed
star,
also
called
the
Seal
of
Solomon
or
the
Star
of
David.
As
with
most
symbols,
its
origin
cannot
be
fixed,
since
its
use
is
found
in
both
the
East
and
the
West,
and
its
interpretations
have
been
multiple.
Here
we
should
cite
the
great
symbolist
Michel
Valsan
(1911–1974),
referring
to
symbols
in
general:
“The
symbol”
does
not
express
or
explain;
it
merely
serves
as
support
and
as
a
starting
point
to
deepen
through
meditation
toward
knowledge.
Its
ambiguity
both
veils
and
reveals
reality
at
the
same
time,
and
its
polysemic
character
makes
possible
an
interpretation suited to the different planes of reality.
Therefore,
each
human
being
penetrates,
according
to
their
knowledge,
into
the
intimacy
of
the
symbol.
The
various
interpretations
of
this
symbol
are
not
mutually
exclusive.
Each
is
valid
and
complementary,
integrating
into
the
total
synthesis.
This
symbol
aims
to
represent
the
relationship
of
the
being
with
the
macrocosm
and
the
microcosm,
the
earthly
realm
with
the celestial.
In
the
illustrations
we
can
follow
this
process
until
forming
the
final
symbol.
This
is
only
one
of
the
multiple
interpretations
that
can
be
given
to
a
symbol
as
ancient
as
this,
and
thus,
as
Valsan
says,
each
person
should interpret it according to their knowledge and their moment
