Everyone else is heretics
You start at the top of the pentagram, because that’s Spirit. You hit the other elements and end at Spirit.
I do it this way because it is the closest to how I was taught to write letters.
Do you write a capital A starting at the top?
No, but upper case BDEFHIJKLPRTUVWXYZ all start at the top.
True (and happy cake day) but the star looks most like an A to me, which I think is why I write it the same way… 4135
I write BDFPR from the bottom.
Though I’m also a heretic who starts G from the middle, so don’t listen to me.Do you also start the number 6 in the middle?
What? No. That would be crazy.
Heretics are where I would expect lots of experience in expressing sigils
In the Golden Dawn tradition (if I read and recall correctly) you start with 1 to 2 if invoking and 2 to 1 if banishing (which is probably the more common of the two)! Yay knowledge no one asked for 🤣
Now we’re talking 👍
Really?! 524135
…and does no one go counterclockwise? I would have guessed it was less common and biased towards lefties, but there most be someone, right?
…also, whoever did 13542 is fired.
Yeah I start at the 5, clockwise.
I’ve never really thought about it that hard, but I have noticed that a lot of times I have trouble getting the star to fit the spot I intended and it winds up being squished and/or lopsided. I’ve always used 13524, but 52413 makes a lot of sense for solving that issue.
I scrolled too far to see this… I didn’t know people were doing stars so differently.
I do the same, although I am a righty.
Yeah FR that bro who went 54 did not draw a fucking star.
12345 gang rise up!
That’s amazing, that’s the same combination I have on my luggage!
53142 Am I crazy?
I am also crazy and most of my stars end up inverted.
How in the world do you go from 5→ 4 and make a star
135241
13524 feels natural to me without testing it.
135241 is the natural order ofc
The order is what is bothering you guys not that the Pentagons sides aren’t equal length and the triangle leans right?
I mean they’re really hard to draw perfectly
Presumably they have access to the Internet, finding one that isn’t obviously wrong doesn’t seem like it would be that difficult.
352413, I mean, clearly.
Hello fellow lefty.
I thought this was a bolt tightening pattern and wondered why anyone cared where they started.

Im a lefty, and this is how I draw them.
Same actually

I am legitimately surprised at how few people start with the horizontal line here. I can never get the damn thing lined up right if I don’t start with the horizontal line.
