These symbols have been used for good and for evil for thousands of years, and perhaps even longer.
Indeed, this version of a six-pointed star makes my own point.
"As above, so below."
Great power is derived from knowledge. What one does with that knowledge defines who one is. Great power can be used for Good. Or Evil.

either good or bad, but thinking makes it so: to me
it is a prison." - Hamlet

P.S. "For avoidance of doubt", I am not attacking you, here. I am adding to this discussion, or attempting to do so. We are all on the mountain, on the journey to learn.
The Star of Remphan has also been viewed as the Solomonic Star (and we know how much the Masons and the Hermetic Tradition folks love Solomon). It is comprised of two equilateral triangles. Someone displaying the equilateral triangle is to my eye an announcement that they have understanding, for others to see. Symbols transcend language and make it possible for two people to identify each other as "fellow travelers" on the paths of knowledge. Not barbarian. Civilized. Learned. Indeed it seems to me that the equilateral triangle is an essential building block of "Sacred Geometry", and for sure the Hexagon (made with two of these triangles) is absolutely foundational in Sacred Geometry (just ask any honey bee, or ask Metatron if you have him in your contacts). The juxtaposition of these triangles in this way also arguably shows that the bearer of such a symbol would understand the concept of a "Dual Universe", perhaps extending to the ideas of Sacred (3, 6, 9) and Profane (1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8) numbers and what they mean.
Lakshmi is the consort of Vishnu, the Preserver. She appears to my barely-educated eye to be essentially the most powerful female god, or certainly "top three". I tend towards thinking that Vishnu is, as The Preserver, akin to The Sky Prince (Enlil/Thor/Horus/Zeus/Jesus). With Brahma being the Creator (The Sky God) and Shiva being the Destroyer (Enki/Loki/Set/Prometheus/Lucifer).
This is a biiiiig rabbit hole. I probably understand maybe .5% of all of this.
Metatron says the dollar sign is older than the hexagram and is also the original star of Remphan, for which the hexagram was substituted ~100 years ago. But just after the dollar sign comes the crown of thorns, which is a hexagram. Lo shu.
Symbology aka syn (together) + bol (to throw) + logy (circular logic)...nature throws being (life) apart from one another within a linear process (inception towards death)l.
The issue with symbols...holding onto artifice, while ignoring natural division.
The swastika pops up all over the northern hemisphere in ancient times, even pre-Columbian native Americans had it. That's why I like the theory that it's originally a representation of the seasons that shows the big dipper in relation to the North star in all four seasons, a literal swastika in the sky that everyone in the North could see if they were observant.

Great comment!

Lo shu, Saturn's grid or whatever they call it. Yep. 666. The Number of Man.
6 Protons. 6 Neutrons. 6 Electrons. = Carbon.
Didn't know the dollar sign might be "the original star of Remphan"? I'll have to check that out. Ty for posting.
