Symbol number twenty-eight is the Elven Star, Fairy Star or 7/3 Heptagram. It’s associated with Wiccans who follow the Fae tradition, Western kabbalah, and Thelema. In alchemy, it refers to the seven planets known to the ancient alchemists. It was also used by Christians to symbolize the seven days of creation and ward off evil. In the Fae tradition of Wicca, it’s considered to be a gateway symbol serving as a portal between our world and the realm of the Fae. The Elven Star is also a representation of those who believe in Faeries, consider themselves to be Fae, or blessed by them. In other traditions, it’s believed to be a gift from the fairies to help us understand them and make communication easier. The background texture was created by making colour blossoms inside water blossoms.
