413524 Gang, rise up!
1 1.5 2 2.5 3 3.5 4 4.5 5 5.5 1
Clean up your stars people, those middle lines are ugly as hell
4, 1, 3, 3.5, 4
Obviously
52413 anyone?
You start with a straight line. It literally makes the most sense cause it decides the size of the star as well.
This is the correct order. 5-to-2 sets the width of the star, which is important when writing multiple identical stars next to each other.
I like this method because it let's me angle the star however I want
I was sad that I didn't learn that until high school. Never drew a star any other way after that. The young woman who taught me I can't remember, but the star.... I'll always remember haha
Yes. I can only imagine Light Yagami doing 52413 in the Death Note
This, because it's how i remembered it being drawn in Donald Duck in Mathmagic Land
I am legitimately surprised at how few people start with the horizontal line here. I can never get the damn thing lined up right if I don't start with the horizontal line.

100% this
Everyone else is heretics
You start at the top of the pentagram, because that's Spirit. You hit the other elements and end at Spirit.
In the Golden Dawn tradition (if I read and recall correctly) you start with 1 to 2 if invoking and 2 to 1 if banishing (which is probably the more common of the two)! Yay knowledge no one asked for 🤣
I do it this way because it is the closest to how I was taught to write letters.
Heretics are where I would expect lots of experience in expressing sigils
Now we're talking 👍
thanks sane person
The correct way
Really?! 524135
…and does no one go counterclockwise? I would have guessed it was less common and biased towards lefties, but there most be someone, right?
…also, whoever did 13542 is fired.
Yeah FR that bro who went 54 did not draw a fucking star.
Yeah I start at the 5, clockwise.
Same! It seems the obvious way to do it – starting with the one horizontal line.
I think this or the lefty version would produce the neatest stars.
I scrolled too far to see this.... I didn't know people were doing stars so differently.
I do the same, although I am a righty.
I've never really thought about it that hard, but I have noticed that a lot of times I have trouble getting the star to fit the spot I intended and it winds up being squished and/or lopsided. I've always used 13524, but 52413 makes a lot of sense for solving that issue.
ummmm....
I go 524135
135241
You can't do 54 that makes no sense.
12345 gang rise up!
That's amazing, that's the same combination I have on my luggage!
How in the world do you go from 5→ 4 and make a star
I'm a native English writer, so I figure that's why I go Top to Bottom, Left to Right:
14253
13524 feels natural to me without testing it.
135241 is the natural order ofc
13542 in the original doesn't even make a star
That may have been a typo.
Because it is and all these others are heresy.
star upside down?
425314
same. Do you happen to be left handed by any chance?
Wow, I was the ABCDEA2B3C4D5E1A-Guy until now
You should probably see a doctor
I do E134524E
was taught this way because it still looks neat even when you don't line up your starting and ending point
425314 here
I had to scroll waaaay to far to find this. Are we rare??
Apparently
Was about to make the same comment
I wasn’t aware there was any other way. I’m having an identity crisis over here.
This is the way
Do you write left-handed? I do, and this is my sequence too.
No, I’m right handed
No idea how or when I started doing it this way, but I can't change now!
Pretty sure my kindergarten teacher and mom both on our team. My fate was long ago sealed.
Finally my people.
52413
same
Left handed?
No but I've been told the way I hold my pens is similar to the way left handed people right. Rather than push the pencil along the page I drag it. Resulting in my hand kind of looking like a 'C' when I'm write
Hello my star sibling
I thought this was a bolt tightening pattern and wondered why anyone cared where they started.
53142 Am I crazy?
I am also crazy and most of my stars end up inverted.
25314 supremacists rise up
352413, I mean, clearly.
Hello fellow lefty.
13542?? Really??
413524 reporting!
I think we are in a teeny tiny minority.
I honestly would never have guessed!
314253 is acceptable for lefties.
The order is what is bothering you guys not that the Pentagons sides aren't equal length and the triangle leans right?
I mean they're really hard to draw perfectly
Presumably they have access to the Internet, finding one that isn't obviously wrong doesn't seem like it would be that difficult.
425314
531425 😅
I'd draw it 413524, but I'd read it as 135241.
13524 (1)
I think the op medium- level comment is just a typo of this, otherwise wtf is 13542?
And I'm shocked I'm the first one to say this, surely this is by far the most common way?
I'm with you.
Well I draw it as a pentagram instead whenever possible, but I think I still start at 4 if you flip it.
24135 would result in an incomplete star...

I’m allergic to SVG z
s so when the comment above said they were 425314, my internal reaction was “no, it’s just 42531”.

Why is your comment misaligned
Edit: got it! after checking the HTML, Lemmy interpreted your comment as a list, because of the number followed by a dot.
I don't conform to societal norms.
Doesn't it depend on the ritual?
The corner in which you're starting and ending should have a meaning and should set the subconscious for the ritual as symbol.
At least that's the idea, as far as I've understood it
314253
Being a leftie, this is the way.
Wait, are we sharing how to do the LBRP or how to draw cartoon stars?
Not gonna say which way I do it because that was my old phone dot pin thing and I'm paranoid, but for that I did something different to both of them.

How about 31415?
413524 because I'm not a lizard person (this is a joke, I am joking, laugh)
((2*x) mod 5) + 1
I go 1<2<3<4<5
135241 but they always look awful. Maybe starting at 4 is the play ⭐️🤔
Yeah I’m the same, now wondering if that’s why it looked so rough in my youth lmao
if you dont do like this you are crazy... 13542 is the only way!
I thought it was a typo in the op, but how are you getting from 5 to 4? I always chose a path with just straight lines...
Wait, people are being taught ways other than 414524?
I mean, I was, because the goal was to make a star..
Sorry, we don't draw fish here
414524
🤨
142531
Im a lefty, and this is how I draw them.
Same actually
