Intro vs Usage by Jews

An editor felt compelled to add in the 'Usage by Jews' section:

"Which means the part in the introduction where it says it was used by Muslims then later by Judaism is false, the Jews used it before Islam existed.[7]"

Can we come to a consensus and sync these two up?

Also, it might be helpful to add some origin dates to the 'Usage in Dharmic religions' section or a section on the Kagome Crest if we're so concerned about who came first — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.74.118.218 (talk) 22:39, 6 March 2019 (UTC)

Six Pointed Star not always a Jewish Symbol

There is considerable evidence that prior to the advent of modern Zionism the six pointed star was not a Jewish symbol, although it was forced upon them in some parts of Central Europe. The symbol appears a hand ful of times in Jewish texts whilst it appears many thousands of times elsewhere. See for example this paper by Miguel Lou: https://www.academia.edu/11490054/THE_CURIOUS_HISTORY_OF_THE_SIX_POINTED_STAR_How_the_Magen_David_Became_the_Jewish_Symbol?auto=download&email_work_card=download-paper&fbclid=IwAR0pIJlkLZ8nh1QmILV1-8yg-RRb4PIroJal7YwKG2pUirdOVyPai6bvsRc

opposite elements

Fire is symbolized as an upwards pointing triangle, while Air (its elemental opposite) is also an upwards pointing triangle, but with a horizontal line through its center. Water is symbolized as a downwards pointing triangle, while Earth (its elemental opposite) is also a downwards pointing triangle, but with a horizontal line through its center.

Oh? Usually it's like this:

	HOT
DRY	fire	air	WET
	earth	water
	COLD

Fire is opposite to water, air is opposite to earth. —Tamfang (talk) 22:41, 7 April 2024 (UTC)

squiggly variant

hexagram with crumped triangle lines
(or a small hexagram with big rhombuses extending the tips)

Is there a name for variants like this? --Ikar.us (talk) 02:31, 23 June 2025 (UTC)

'Bodhicitta' redirect/further info?

Under 'Religious Usage' - 'Indian Religions', there's a redirect to Bodhicitta. But there's no relation? ~2026-31908-17 (talk) 04:48, 1 June 2026 (UTC)

I'm removing it. ~2026-34699-72 (talk) 08:50, 12 June 2026 (UTC)
