I've had Metatron's cube on my mind lately too. It relates to the 12 around 1 that we were talking about in another thread.

Quote:Note that the figure depicts the "six directions in space" (3 dark lines), and is essentially an expansion (by adding six circles) of the Star of David, located at the center. Note especially that the Star of David consists of seven points, although the center point is seldom emphasized. The Cube is a depiction of 12 around 1 like the disciples or the 12 tribes, the labors of Hercules and the zodiac signs.
