1/2
The octagonal star is a symbol very dear to the Hermetic tradition, since its rays mark the 8 major dates in the Sun's cycle over the Earth during the course of a year.
In its center it unites two crosses. The first marks the two solstices and the two equinoxes.
The second, called X (" chi " or " khi " in Greek) or St. Andrew's Cross, marks the four great festivals of Celtic tradition. The number 8 is a solar number par excellence, since its spelling is derived from the course that the Sun takes in the sky at a given hour during its cycle.
