I'm just wondering if anyone knows the history of the eight-pointed star?

The value of an individual is not numerically assignable. Given the individual's infinite capacity to affect change (for better or for worse), it follows that their value is just as infinite. Logically then, not only are all individuals of equal value, but all possible combinations and groupings of individuals are of equal value, and finally, no matter an individual's past actions, their capacity to affect positive change is not diminished.

The value of the individual is sacrosanct, but actions must be directed in an effort to affect positive change.

QUOTE
Chaos magic is a form of magic with which practitioners claim they can shape reality. Although there are a few techniques, such as some forms of sigil magic, associated uniquely with chaos magic, practitioners borrow liberally from other belief systems, so chaos magic acts as a metabelief. Some common sources and techniques include ceremonial magic, chaos theory, science fiction, OBEs, and divination. Chaos magic is not necessarily syncretic. That is to say, practitioners do not try to fit together these different ideas so that they make sense. Rather, they temporarily assume the truth of parts of particular systems in order to accomplish their goals. Although chaos magicians differ widely, they often sympathize with the psychonaut counterculture (Terence McKenna and Robert Anton Wilson are particularly influential) and chaotic aspects of particular religions (including Taoism and Discordianism), and a number of chaos magic techniques rely on humor and the absurd.





Spirit teachers reveal the star too , often authors , artists and musicians draw upon dreamstate visions and muse inspiration to bring esoteric wisdoms to humanity.

The 8 pointed star has been shown to us in circle many times in visions . From mystic visions I feel that
the 4 arrows represent the cardinal and bicardinal directions of energy
the cardinal ones represent predominantly male energy on a + also called a cross
these are the colour of elements
north air green
south earth red
right arm fire orange ; east Goddess west God
left arm water blue ; west Goddess east God

The bicardinal X is predominantly female energy on a x also called a crux
these are the colours of magick
purple l'eau de prima materia the universal solute ; shen
amber feu de prima materia the catalyst , the flame ;chi
pink energy force ching
aqua aqua vitae air and water the elixir , stasis ,universal solution , vocalisation

there are two sides of the wheel the shadow side and the light side
rose pink is blood for sex magick which can be light or dark tantra for example
red light is love , charisma , leadership , red shadow is strength , aggression , violence , war
etc.

1. i staff
2 + cross
3 / staves
4 x crux
5 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/922.gif) kanda
---------
6 merkabah sphere

Imho , each energy centre from a kanda to a chakra to a stone develops in this manner .

Edit :
http://www.mazzaroth.com/ChapterThree/Sume...naki-Anakim.htm
star of Ishtar aka Ianna
It forms below the mirror on the energy body as the kanda becomes 3 D
Ianna like persephone descends to the land of the dead from light to shadow and back again
(IMG:http://www.mazzaroth.com/ChapterThree/Images/IshtarStarSymbol.gif)
This is an 8 pointed star though not the modern 8 arrowed symbol
