Unicursal Notepad

The Unicursal Hexagram symbolises the union of the man with the divine. As with the hexagram used in the Star of David, this six-pointed star represents "as above, so below," but because this symbol is formed of only one line, rather than 2, it further represents that above and below, human and divine are One. The Unicursal Hexagram is particularly used by those practicing Thelema and Golden Dawn. Alastair Crowley claimed to have been the originator of the symbol, though research shows that to be incorrect. The unicursal hexagram was created for the purpose of drawing the figure in one continuous movement, as the other magical polygons are created- the pentagram is one example. This is significant in ritual magick when invoking and banishing hexagrams must be made. Crowley's adaptation of the unicursal hexagram placed a five petalled rose, symbolising a pentacle (and the divine feminine), in the centre; the symbol as a whole making eleven (five petals of the rose plus six points of the hexagram), the number of divine union.
