I could use some clarification why the six rayed star shines above one when doing the LBRP, why is this? I never drew it and i can't see any other things that might hint that i did a hexagram somewhere

There is actually a lot of symblism tied to the "sixed-rayed star" within the LBRP. First off it is a symbol of the macrocosm. It accompianies the pentagram which is the microcosom so that you have both. It is also a symbol of completion. A hexagram is often shown as the union of a fire triangle and a water triangle, showing the union of opposites, a goal of the great work. Also keep in mind it is tied to the middle pillar since you have 4 pentagrams and 1 hexagram equalling 26 which is the number for the middle pillar. Hince the phrase and within the column stands the sixed rayed star. So it is linked to balance and the union of opposites again through that manner.

You might find it interesting that the method crowley used for the LBRP is to visualize one hexagram above him and another below his feet. Alluding to "as above, so below" and now you would have 4 pentagrams and 2 hexagrams having 32 points which is all the paths on the tree of life.

Try it both ways and see if it feels any different to you.
