THE OCTAGRAM is so ancient it is pre religion, a time when Goddesses ruled societies that understood shapes and numbers can reveal the intrinsic beauty and complexity of the universe.
With agriculture and settlement, the original monotheistic Persian Zoroastrians and later male God faiths required a simpler star as an emblem, a flag even, marching to war.
THE OCTAGRAM suggests an infinite grid, multiple realities, shades of grey, a more peaceful feminine view.
Possibly the original meaning and certainly in recent verifiable history THE OCTAGRAM is believed by many to convey magic thoughts from one person to another.
Call it shared feelings. Compassion. The Gentle Star.
THE OCTAGRAM is apolitical, does not define race creed or country. We welcome you to this Gentle Star, as it appears here in these lovely traditional weavings.
