Interesting Correspondence
-
I'm not sure if anyone has noticed this before, but I discovered something interesting in my studies.
I was drawing in my notebook the other day, and I found that if one superimposes an Averse Pentagram on an Upright Pentagram they form the lines of a Unicursal Hexagram perfectly. It would seem that a Unicursal Hexagram thus represents a complete balance of elemental energy.
Has anyone remarked on this before?

Can't be true. The angle of each point of a pentagram is 72°. The angle of each point of a hexagram (including the top and bottom point - but not the others - of a unicursal hexagram) is 60°.

I am a fan of this mans work,

That is a link to a video that talks about Metatrons cube.
When I stopped looking at those geometric shape as flat, and saw what they looked like 3d,
( hubby is master cam and cad designer who like to make things) it changed my whole outlook on them.When you hold these images in your hand, for example a star tetrahedron, and turn it about, which seems to actually change the angles based on your position or angel of perception, it is possible to see geometric shapes. This is even more so if your model is not a solid but made out of wire, or a basic frame.
An aside my local shopping guide had a cool puzzle in it this week, Connect the dots.

Crowley is pretty clear that the lines of the figure are strictly mathematical and have no width. Thus, the apaprent change in the thickness of the lines is used to represent something else entirely, like perspective.

"You think he was including the curvature of spacetime?"
I've never been quite clear on that. Thinking about it now, it's almost as if in drawing the hexagram you end up drawing two lines (e.g., lower right to upper left and upper right to lower left in drawing a solar invoking hexagram) that recede to an infinite distance from you and then return from infinity, as it were. And then you've got the five petaled rose located at the convergence/vanishing point. Maybe that expresses something about the microcosm/macrocosm relationship, like that their union involves a completed infinity... like squaring the circle... hmmm..."Perhaps we should animate the thing in continual motion in a sphere?"
Go for it.
