Unicursal Hexagram

The unicursal hexagram is is a hexagram or six sided and six pointed star. It is called so because it can be drawn in one continuous movement. This symbol can also be depicted inside a circle with the points touching it. 

The unicursal hexagram represent opposites like fire and water or male and female. It is used in the Greek and Hindu mythologies in which it symbolizes the union of the man with the divine. This hexagram represents above and below, a place where human and divine are One. The Unicursal Hexagram is mainly used by those practicing Thelema and Golden Dawn traditions. 

Even Aleister Crowley always claimed to be the originator of the symbol, research has proven otherwise. This symbol is used as a identifying symbol for wide array of Neo- Pagan philosophies
