I've recently recalled the symbol of balance. A simple pantacle I came up with a long time ago while messing with trataka meditation.

This symbol contains two interlocked triangles, referring to the "As Above, so Below", as well as the unicorsal hexagram, two pentagrams (one upright, one upside down), and 4 alchemical symbols of elements.

This has been a symbol of my MHP (middle hand path) for a while, but I somehow forgot it when I moved on to Chaos Magick. Today I've remembered it after years, so I have remade the symbol and used it for trataka again. Now it seems my astral sight has improved quite a bit; I will definitely keep going with it.

I make the two-handed-hexagram (tracing it with both hands at the same time starting at the top) It's like this one just without the bottom horizontal line:

Interesting, so with that design you avoid the reversed pentagram. But you're also missing the symbols of fire and air

Well, it's meant to represent the planets and the upright pentagram in essence is all elements. It's a different purpose than your symbol, it just reminded me visually.

Oh, right, the GD correspondences. Originally hexagram represented the interconnection of heaven and earth
