Historia de la migración transcultural y transnacional de la estrella de ocho puntas

The research of the eight-pointed star usually is reduced to ornamental symbology. There are many riddles to solve around its meaning, its imprint on Christianity and paganism, its presence in Western heraldry. We analized it as a migratory element that accompanies humanity in its journey through the world, confirming the closeness of cultures in their diversity. Its analogy in different cultures, in principle devoid of direct contact, can be analyzed from the theory of the psychic unity of humanity of Bastian, the collective unconscious and archetypes of Jung, functional unity, defended by Propp, unity of tradition and the connected wisdom of world cultures. Our focus goes beyond discovering its presence in the cultures of Europe, Asia (Central and Middle), America (Central and South), Australia, New Zealand, Southeast and South China, Siberia, Africa.
