In Webster's Dictionary, we read: "Solomon's Seal, a mystic
talismanic symbol in the form of an interlaced outline of either
a five pointed star or six-pointed star." (Random House Unabridged
Webster's Dictionary, Second Edition, page 1817, where the six-pointed star is illustrated.)
"The interlacing triangles or deltas symbolize the union of the
two principles or forces, the active and passive, male and
female, pervading the universe.... The Two triangles, one white
and the other black, interlacing, typify the mingling of the two
apparent powers in nature, darkness and light, error and truth,
ignorance and wisdom, evil and good, throughout human life."
(Encyclopedia of Freemasonry, Albert G. Mackey, 33rd Degree
Freemason, and Charles T. McClenachan, 33rd Degree Freemason, p.
801.)
As the scan of two pages from a book on the Jewish Qabalah attests,
the same Seal of Solomon that's used in
Freemasonry is also used by Kabbalists and has the same
meaning. The scan above is from Gonzalez Whippler's
book "Kabbalah for the Modern World",
where she describes the double triangles of Solomon's Seal
in the same way as
it's described in Freemasonry; that is, one triangle represents
water, the other triangle represents fire, i.e., the
triangles represent opposite principles in nature.
