The Star of Solomon consists of two interlocking triangles so that they give rise to a six-pointed star. Wirth calls it the “star of the microcosm,” a sign of the mood of the individual who has selfless self-denial. It actually symbolizes the human soul as a union of consciousness and the unconscious, represented by fire (triangle) and water (inverted triangle).
