Star of David Pendant

What is the Vogel Star of David? By Natalie Anastasio Pescetti, C.N. The symbol of the Star of David has been known for thousands of years in religious traditions, as the shield of God. More well known in Judaism, this symbol also has shown significance in other spiritual traditions such as Islam, Hinduism, and Occultism. The Star of David has symbolized protection and strength to many who wear the symbol. In Judaism, the Star of David, an extension of the Divine, or God, shielded the Biblical David in his battles. It also carries with it the number seven, six for each side, plus the center of the symbol. The seven symbolizes the seven Archangels Michael, Jophiel, Chamuel, Gabriel, Raphael, Uriel, and Zadkiel who guide and protect us. This energy of the Archangels directs us in subtle, personal ways, and protects us from attacks from darker energies. The hexagram, or 6 pointed star, is also a mandala symbol in Hinduism, that represents a perfect meditative state and balance between us, and the divine or etheric world. This represents an energy of being released from the trappings and bounds of the material world, and achieving a state of ’nirvana.’ The downward triangle on the front symbolizes the sacred embodiments of the feminine, while the upward triangle on the back represents the masculine focus. These two energies intertwined ultimately represent the most powerful energy of all, creation. In the metaphysical/crystal world the Star of David gained momentum of power and use because of IBM scientist, researcher, and crystal alchemist Marcel Vogel (read What Are Vogel-Cut Crystals?). Not only did Marcel discover that quartz crystal shaped into sacred geometry wand form could induce a powerful healing effect, but that a pendant could do so as well. The only pendant that Marcel designed based upon the Sacred Geometry blueprint himself, the Star of David was his vice for protection and regeneration in his personal and professional life. He found that wearing the pendant allowed him to stave off energetic residue from clients, students, or his audience, while still maintaining a level of sensitivity. It has been been reported effective for loved ones, and family members that you may inadvertantly give away your energy to. This powerful Vogel Star of David pendant seems to be most beneficial for those who regularly engage with other people, whether in public speaking, sales, an active clientele, or also for those who feel extra sensitive to others opinions, judgments, and beliefs. This has been found to be one of the most important tools in our medicine bag for cementing or solidifying the foundation of the self, while venturing out into the great beyond of the external world. This is no doubt a powerful energy, being that many of us become our environment, rather than bring forth our own true nature. To shine our bright light outward, we must be focused and vigilant in awareness of who we are, verses who we are in reaction to the world around us. History & Metaphysical Significance The Star of David is an ancient symbol. It has been recognized as one of the most fundamental sacred symbols for millennia, not only in the Jewish tradition, but also in other cultures and religious traditions. The form of a six sided star which results from the merging of two overlapping triangles is an archetypal one - it is fundamental to consciousness. The symbol depicts the union that creates life itself: the marriage of male and female, of heaven and earth, of man with divinity. Although the symbol is drawn two dimensionally, the symbol is actually multi-dimensional. In it’s full dimensionality it is a vehicle which often times is referred to as the “Merkaba Vehicle”. It is this vehicle that allows us to experience our own multi-dimensionality during our physical lifetime. It is also the vehicle that allows for incarnation to and from the spiritual plane into earthly experience. One can use this vehicle to strengthen the connection with the Divine. The Star of David pendant combines the magical properties of the ancient symbol with the unique properties of quartz. This particular depiction of the Star of David was first developed by Marcel Vogel. The cut is unique in that the faceting of the quartz creates the six sided star. By placing an upright triangle on the face of the stone and an inverted triangle on the opposite face of the stone an energetic flow is established. Vogel also discovered that quartz is an impeccable vehicle for cohering and amplifying energy. (This is why quartz is a is a fundamental component in modern electronics). THE VOGEL TECHNIQUE As Vogel worked with quartz both in conventional experiments and in healing applications he developed a simple method of clearing and programming his quartz tools. The technique developed can be used with any crystal - or any object for that matter. It is just that quartz crystals are particularly good at holding a charge. The Vogel technique incorporates two key concepts. The first is that quartz has the innate ability to function as a psychotronic device. It can hold information in the form of a thought, an emotion or a frequency almost indefinitely without loss of cohesion. The second key concept is that the breath can be used as a vehicle to place a thought, emotion or essence into quartz. The act of doing this is referred to as “programming you crystal”. CLEARING YOUR CRYSTAL: Take a moment and bring into your being the essence of purity - both the thought and the feeling of purity. Once the connection with this essence is strong, fill your lungs with it. Hold your breath and let the essence build. Place your attention on the crystal. Use your intention to place the essence of purity into the crystal as you release a FORCED EXHALE through the nose. This forced exhale allows the essence to move as a whole thought form into the crystal. As you look into the crystal with your mind’s eye you should see any negative energy leave the crystal. If you see a residue, shadow or unpleasant energy still remaining, repeat the procedure until your crystal is clear. PROGRAMMING YOUR CRYSTAL: After clearing your crystal it is now ready to program. We recommend using a simple program such as PEACE, WELL-BEING & LOVE. Focus on bringing the essence of peace into your being. Allow this essence to fill you and build in your lungs. Now bring the essence of Well-being (yourself in perfect health, connected with the Earth and Divine). Again, fill yourself and allow this essence to build in your lungs - mingling with the essence of Peace. Now bring in the essence of Pure Love. Fill yourself with this essence. Place your attention on the crystal and use a FORCED EXHALE through the nose to intend those essences (your program) into your crystal. WEARING A STAR OF DAVID PENDANT The Star of David pendant can be worn two ways. By placing the female side against your body the crystal will draw prana (life force) from you, flavor it with Peace, Well-being and Love (your crystal’s program), amplify these qualities and radiate them into your aura. This creates a brilliant shield and provides psychic and energetic protection. It also magnetizes you to draw those qualities in from the universe. By wearing the male side against your body the crystal will draw in prana from your environment. As this life force passes through the crystal it is flavored with Peace, Well-being and Love.http://www.crystalbiz.com/jfpdfs/Star%20of%20David.pdf
