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.
yes
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 🤣
Heretics are where I would expect lots of experience in expressing sigils
Now we’re talking 👍
thanks sane person
The correct way
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.
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.
I do the same, although I am a righty.
I scrolled too far to see this… I didn’t know people were doing stars so differently.
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.
Yeah FR that bro who went 54 did not draw a fucking star.
52413 anyone?
You start with a straight line. It literally makes the most sense cause it decides the size of the star as well.
Any of them are straight lines and decide the size of the star. Some of us are more refined and can handle diagonal sizing.
Weird flex to call someone unrefined for how they draw a star. Not very refined.
For someone on lemy.lol you sure take things too seriously. 😉
Aww cute. Still not gonna just take you being rude though cause you can read.
Bruh, you’re on lemmyshitpost, not lemmybetakenseriously.
Your comedy is lacking.
You meant vertical I think, but get it, this order makes sense even though it wasn’t my first instinct
horizontal
I like this method because it let’s me angle the star however I want
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.
Yes. I can only imagine Light Yagami doing 52413 in the Death Note
I was sad that I didn’t learn that until high school. Never drew a star any other way after that. The young woman who taught me I can’t remember, but the star… I’ll always remember haha
This, because it’s how i remembered it being drawn in Donald Duck in Mathmagic Land

This is the only way. What kind of troglodyte starts on an upstroke?
Out of curiosity, how do you write a capital letter A?
Start at the top, go down to the left. Pick up pen. Start at the top, go down to the right. Pick up pen. Go across.
You monster
I hate you
Same, although I write in cursive so I don’t usually do this
Tsk, true left-to-right writing would do the crossbar second.
How do you write? Left to right?
Obviously
Had to scroll too far to find this
I think this is the left-handed way.
12345 gang rise up!
That’s amazing, that’s the same combination I have on my luggage!
How in the world do you go from 5→ 4 and make a star
425314 here
I had to scroll waaaay to far to find this. Are we rare??
Apparently
Was about to make the same comment
Do you write left-handed? I do, and this is my sequence too.
No, I’m right handed
This is the way
Finally my people.
I wasn’t aware there was any other way. I’m having an identity crisis over here.
No idea how or when I started doing it this way, but I can’t change now!
Pretty sure my kindergarten teacher and mom both on our team. My fate was long ago sealed.
53142 Am I crazy?
I am also crazy and most of my stars end up inverted.
12345 cause I’m a mad bastard
That would be a circle
Pentagon*
I guess yeah you could draw it with straight lines. Not sure why I assumed you wouldnt in retrospect.
52413
same
Hello my star sibling
Left handed?
No but I’ve been told the way I hold my pens is similar to the way left handed people right. Rather than push the pencil along the page I drag it. Resulting in my hand kind of looking like a ‘C’ when I’m write
ummmm…
I go 524135
135241
352413, I mean, clearly.
Hello fellow lefty.
13524 feels natural to me without testing it.
135241 is the natural order ofc
13542 in the original doesn’t even make a star
That may have been a typo.
Because it is and all these others are heresy.
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.
