The Symbolism of the Star of David or Solomon’s Seal
The Star of David (also called the Seal of Solomon) has been an esoteric symbol for thousands of years. In India it was a tantric symbol called the “Satkana Yantra” and represented complete balance between Shiva and Shakti, the divine masculine and divine feminine. Alain Danielou, in the book “The Gods of India,” writes: “The two complimentary principles, the linga and the yoni, are graphically represented by the fiery triangle with upward apex and the watery triangle with downward apex. When the triangles penetrate each other to form the hexagon, this is taken to show the state of manifestation. When they part, the universe dissolves” (p.219).
