A hexagram is found in the center of a six-pointed geometric star. It is the compound of two equilateral triangles. The intersection creates a hexagon. In historical, religious and cultural contexts, such as antique papyri, six-pointed geometric stars, are frequently found on amulets bearing the Jewish names of God, and used to guard against fever and other diseases. Six pointed stars have also been found in Hinduism, Buddhism, Rastafari, Realism, Occultism, Freemasonry, and Jainism to name only several. The hexagram is a mandala symbol called satkona yantra or sadkona yantra and found on ancient South Indian Hindu temples. It symbolizes the nara-narayana, or perfect meditative state of balance achieved between Man and God, and if maintained, results in "moksha," or "nirvana" (release from the bounds of the earthly world and its material trappings). The six-pointed star is known in Arabic as the "Star of David" or "Seal of Solomon". The six-pointed star is still commonly used as a talisman in these times. The occult may use the sybol for assistance in conjuring spirits and spiritual forces. The six-pointed star is called the talisman of Saturn and it is also referred to as the Seal of Solomon in the occult. The hexagram within the six-pointed star, like the pentagram, was and is used in practices of the occult and ceremonial magic and is attributed to the 7 "old" planets outlined in astrology. Some also believe that the hexagram represents the astrological chart at the time of David's birth or anointment as king. The hexagram is known as the "King's Star" in astrological circles.
