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
