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 hexagram can also be depicted inside a circle with the points touching it.
The Unicursal is described as the magical Star of Solomon as opposed to the Star of David.[citation needed] The tribe of Solomon or the Masons use a similar symbol represented by a Square and Compass.[citation needed] The Star of Solomon is an introverted star that symbolizes the completed union with God "As above so Below", as well as the union of a man and woman.[relevant? ]

Thelema [edit]
In Thelema, The hexagram is usually depicted with a five-petaled flower in the centre which symbolises a pentacle (and the divine feminine).[1] The symbol as a whole makes eleven; five petals of the rose and six vertices of the hexagram. The number eleven represents the number of divine union. Thelemites wear the unicursal hexagram as an identification and recognition.[citation needed]
