Default Re: The eXchanger's Thread -2008 The Year of The Trinity of New Beginnings

The Star of David,
in legend was delivered to King Solomon
by the Archangel Raphael
as the seal of a ring with which he might bind the demons
that were distrupting the building of the temple.

In Indian alchemy it is known as the sri-yantra,
being the complete interpenetration of Shiva and Shakti,
male and female

. The mystic alchemist Jacob Boehme called it
"the most meaningful sign in the entire universe".
He saw it as a symbol of Christ as androgyne,
the perfectly balanced,
all-reconciling divine human.

It is the union of the above and the below
, the marriage of heaven and earth,
the macrocosm and the microcosm - two things becoming one thing.

The interlocking triangles of the hexagram symbolise
the union of fire and water,
the marriage of soul and spirit,
the alchemical wedding of sulfur and mercury.
