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.

The Dryad

The Dryads are female spirits of nature who preside over the groves and forests. Each one is born with a certain tree over which she watches - she comes into existence with it and often lives in a tree. Dryad females are very pretty, but not stunningly beautiful; they are very slight in build, appearing child-like sometimes even when they are very old. Indefinite in life spans, they are very long lived, but also tend to not keep track of the years.

The lives of the Dryads are critically connected with that of their trees; should the tree perish, then she dies with it. If this is caused by a mortal, the gods will surely punish him for that deed. The Dryads themselves will also punish any thoughtless mortal who would somehow foolishly or cruelly injure the trees. Wherever there are large wooded areas it is likely that there are Dryads.

Hummingbird

Hummingbirds represent the power of joy and a focus on the bright side. They bring swiftness of thought and the ability to hover over a situation so that it can be examined carefully and healed.

It is not commonly known that the fluttering wings of the hummingbird move in the pattern of an infinity symbol - further solidifying their symbolism of eternity, continuity, and infinity.

They are considered to be symbols of peace, love and happiness. Ancient pagans held them sacred for their tireless energy and anxiety.

Fleur de Lis

Fleur de Lis means “flower of the lily”. This stylized lily flower has traditionally been used to represent French royalty in a historical context.

It is widely thought to be a stylized version of the Iris. Decorative ornaments that resemble the fleur-de-lis have appeared in artwork from the earliest human civilizations.

It signifies perfection, light and life. Legends differ on the origin of the fleur; some stories say that Clovis, the king of the Franks was presented with a lily by an angel to represent purification, on his conversion to Christianity. A lily that appeared at Clovis' baptismal ceremony was a gift of blessing from an apparition of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

The lily is also the emblem of the Virgin Mary, and some say the three petals of the fleur-de-lis represent the Holy Trinity.
