Unicursal Hexagram

The unicursal hexagram is a hexagram or six-pointed star that can be traced or drawn unicursally, in one continuous line rather than by two overlaid triangles. The unicursal hexagram is used to express a high level of self-confidence and belief that one can achieve the highest of goals and become a divine figure. The symbol was devised by the Golden Dawn, and later adapted by Aleister Crowley as a device of personal significance.

The unicursal hexagram, allocates the sun to the upper point, the moon to the bottom and the four elements to those remaining.

The unicursal hexagram is symbolic of the divine union between man and his god or gods. The triangles are also often used to represent opposites such as fire and water or male and female, so the unifying of the symbol into one represents the union of opposites.
