When many people think of the Star of David symbol, they associate it with the Jewish people and the powerful nation of Israel.

But did you know that the Star of David is actually an ancient metaphysical symbol that predates the Jewish culture?

At least, many metaphysical researchers now believe this to be true.

The Star of David seems to date back to pre-Egyptian times and might even have its origins in the mythical civilization of Atlantis. Atlantis was said to be an early continent that existed before an “axial shift” or changing of the earth’s magnetic poles destroyed this huge land mass. After Atlantis was destroyed, the few remaining survivors scattered to the four corners of the earth and were said to have founded early cultures like the Sumerian culture, the Egyptian and Babylonia cultures, and even ancient India and China.

Almost all native people have a memory, long passed down from generation to generation, of powerful earth changes that forever changed this planet in the ancient past. The story of Noah and his Ark is one such story, but nearly every religious and mythical tradition has its own story of an ancient flood that covered the whole earth and changed life here forever.

The Star of David symbol traces it origins back to these early days, now steeped in legend.

Early mystical schools taught that the Star of David or equal-sided star was a powerful symbol for man’s spiritual path. Throughout our life in order to remain connected to God, Goddess, or a loving Higher Power, it’s important to maintain a balance in both the spiritual and material realms.

The Star of David symbol is the living reminder that man is doing this – maintaining a balance between worlds.

Wearing a Star of David necklace can serve as a living “cue” that connects you with the ancient power of this beautiful metaphysical symbol.

When worn over the heart or the throat, clairvoyants claim that it activates these energy centers in wonderful ways. When the throat center or “chakra” is activated, we are inspired to speak from the heart and to tell the truth, no matter what opposition we might face. When the heart center is activated, we are inspired to reach out in a more inclusive attitude in love, expressing tenderness and empathy in a way that knows no religious or racial boundaries.

Many spiritual seekers enjoy wearing a Star of David necklace for just this reason. It connects them with the living mystery of the equal sided star, that ancient symbol of balance and spiritual wisdom.

So whether you honor the Jewish tradition and Jewish faith or if you simply enjoy gazing upon the lovely symbol as a tool for your own meditation or prayer, a Star of David necklace might be a lovely piece of jewelry that uplifts and inspires you.
