100% this

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.

[–] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 4 points 20 hours ago (6 children)

I do it this way because it is the closest to how I was taught to write letters.

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.

[–] pennomi@lemmy.world 8 points 22 hours ago

Yeah I start at the 5, clockwise.

[–] moonlight@fedia.io 6 points 19 hours ago

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.

You start with a straight line. It literally makes the most sense cause it decides the size of the star as well.

I like this method because it let's me angle the star however I want

[–] Dry_Monk@lemmy.world 4 points 9 hours ago

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.

This is the only way. What kind of troglodyte starts on an upstroke?

That's amazing, that's the same combination I have on my luggage!

[–] ALilOff@lemmy.world 16 points 16 hours ago

How in the world do you go from 5→ 4 and make a star

13542?? Really??

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 9 points 20 hours ago (2 children)

The order is what is bothering you guys not that the Pentagons sides aren't equal length and the triangle leans right?

13524 feels natural to me without testing it.

352413, I mean, clearly.

[–] Sadbutdru@sopuli.xyz 7 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

13524 (1)

I think the op medium- level comment is just a typo of this, otherwise wtf is 13542?

And I'm shocked I'm the first one to say this, surely this is by far the most common way?

Doesn't it depend on the ritual?
The corner in which you're starting and ending should have a meaning and should set the subconscious for the ritual as symbol.

At least that's the idea, as far as I've understood it
