King David, the leader of the Jewish people and prophet, was born in the sixth month of the Jewish calendar. The star - known as the King's star - has appeared on astrological artifacts dating back to the time of their exodus from Egypt, though David wasn't born until much later.

The symbol didn't become popular as a representation for the Jews until the middle ages when the Catholic church began to use it to designate Jewish ghettos.

How is the star of David used in wicca?

The Jewish star of David is not used in Wicca. The Wiccan pentagram and the star of David are slightly different in appearance. The pentagram stands on two legs and each point represents spirit, earth, air, water, and fire. The star of David stands on one leg, and has six points in stead of five. The six pointed star, Solomon's Seal or Hexagram (sometimes called the "Star of David") is in fact used in paganism. It has only been associated with the Jewish faith since the 17th century. Before that it was a commonly used symbol to dispel evil.
