The Aquarian Star is a symbol used to signify membership of the Men of Letters. It is a six-pointed sign that represented great power and represented the gates of Atlantis. Henry Winchester wears one as a tie pin, and it is also seen on the gravestones of those murdered by Abaddon. It also marked the door to their secret meeting place and decorates The Box. Henry also uses it to find a shop where he can get the ingredients for the spell to use with the Blood Spell[1]
The shape was also one of the many magical symbols on Mary Campbell's charm bracelet. [2]
The Unicursal Hexagram
Also known as the Unicursal Hexagram is so-called because it can be drawn unicursally- that is, in one continuous movement. This is significant when forming figures in ritual magick, where a continuous line is preferred to an interrupted movement. The hexagram can also be depicted inside a circle with the points touching it. The Unicursal is described as the magical Star of Solomon as opposed to the Star of David. The tribe of Solomon or the Masons use a similar symbol represented by a Square and Compass.[3]
The symbol was devised by the Golden Dawn, and later adapted by Aleister Crowley as a device of personal significance. It is often worn by Thelemites as a sign of religious identification and recognition. The unicursal hexagram was created for the purpose of drawing the figure in one continuous movement, as the other magical polygons are created- the pentagram is one example. This is significant in ritual magick when invoking and banishing hexagrams must be made. Crowley’s adaptation of the unicursal hexagram placed a five petaled rose, symbolizing a pentacle (and the divine feminine), 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.[4]
The Unicursal Hexagram also forms part of a symbol known as "The Seal of Orichalcos" which appears in the Japanese games and anime Yu-Gi-Oh!
