Pythagorean Star pendent health, hygiene, hygieia |
“In the pentagram, the Pythagoreans found all proportions well-known in antiquity: arithmetic, geometric, harmonic, and also the well-known golden proportion, or the golden ratio. ... Probably owing to the perfect form and the wealth of mathematical forms, the pentagram was chosen by the Pythagoreans as their secret symbol and a symbol of health.

metaphors like the star, cup and snake of Hygieia are lost map keys that level the garden of eden as a position that exists within the mind. the ideas of hermeticism in the 16/17th century was just a cover for science, knowledge and most importantly health. the occult, which is from the word occultation, focuses the foreground to block the view of the background. the interference between these points of view haunts the uninformed to this day. superstition inspires fear to intimidate and control confidence. this occultation places belief as a power that obstructs and even hides knowledge. -Mitchell Pluto
