The previous reply is correct, however, within the Western Mystery Tradition the Hexagram is a powerful magical symbol. It refers to the union of opposites, solar consciousness, and the first major experience of the Great Work.

It is also used to invoke planetary energies, the middle being the sun, and the points each representing one of the 'planets of the ancients'.

There are a host of other attributions as well, a simple google search will educate you greatly.
