The Protocols the Antichrist and the HexagramFollowing our discussion about 666 My friend Craciun Lucian sent me the above photo along with other photos of book covers of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion and wrote to me:

And here is the proof: old photos of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, dating from 1912 to 2005, most of which are associating the Jewish Hexagram with devil-symbols or death-symbols (the snake, skulls, blood, etc.) and making repeated references to the word Antichrist. The oldest photo, the one from 1912, has the two 'Seals of Solomon', (i.e., the Pentagram and the Hexagram), and under each one the words: "Pec'at' Antihrista", meaning "the Seal of Antichrist". (Above the Cross we see the words: "Symb[ol of ] Victory"). The words below I don't know what they mean... 

Reli Wasser, The Tree Of Life magen David Israeli artPhoto is courtesy of Tzfat Artist Reli Wasser, who sent me the following caption:

Life resembles a giant tree that sends its roots into the earth and its branches into the skies, in a miraculous balance. In the same time it expresses good and evil, deep-routedness and loss, mercy and revolt. This special balance is symbolized by the Star of David, which dwells in the center of the Tree Of Life.

Dick Ben Dor, Genesis, Photoshop magen David Israeli art This is a summary (or an introduction) I made in Photoshop of Dick Ben Dor's series. Between the Stars of the six days of creation and the star of the seventh day there are hexagons and to me they look together like a white lily.

As Ancient As The Dinosaurs Israeli art magen David
Israeli painter Dick Ben Dor told me that he made this work for an exhibition about animals and that he thought the Magen David is as ancient as the dinosaurs. The inner square is 10 X 10 cm. Dick Ben Dor defines his style as "abstract- figurative". He is also a member of the Miniaturists Organization. He told me, for instance, that another member of this organization had to take his works out of a matchbox in order to make an exhibition. To see more works of Dick Ben Dor click

I took this photo in Mexico City, in a huge indoor/outdoor market called Mercado de la Merced (Merced for short). It was in the section dedicated to healing, herbs, natural remedies, brujas and curanderos. I was tickled to discover a Star-of-David-themed incense. (What do you suppose it smells like?)

I have another question: What is the six pointed star doing on this product?
Anyhow - I like the colors...
