100% this

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.

[-] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago

I do it this way because it is the closest to how I was taught to write letters.

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.

[-] pennomi@lemmy.world 9 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah I start at the 5, clockwise.

[-] moonlight@fedia.io 6 points 3 weeks ago

Same! It seems the obvious way to do it – starting with the one horizontal line.

I think this or the lefty version would produce the neatest stars.

You start with a straight line. It literally makes the most sense cause it decides the size of the star as well.

[-] TheRealKuni@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago

Any of them are straight lines and decide the size of the star. Some of us are more refined and can handle diagonal sizing.

I like this method because it let's me angle the star however I want

[-] Dry_Monk@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago

This is the correct order. 5-to-2 sets the width of the star, which is important when writing multiple identical stars next to each other.

This is the only way. What kind of troglodyte starts on an upstroke?

13524 feels natural to me without testing it.

13524 (1)

I think the op medium- level comment is just a typo of this, otherwise wtf is 13542?

And I'm shocked I'm the first one to say this, surely this is by far the most common way?

Clean up your stars people, those middle lines are ugly as hell

[-] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago

I thought this was a bolt tightening pattern and wondered why anyone cared where they started.

[-] Tetsuo@jlai.lu 6 points 3 weeks ago

24135 would result in an incomplete star...

Doesn't it depend on the ritual?
The corner in which you're starting and ending should have a meaning and should set the subconscious for the ritual as symbol.

At least that's the idea, as far as I've understood it
