12345 gang rise up!
That’s amazing, that’s the same combination I have on my luggage!
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 I start at the 5, clockwise.
I do the same, although I am a righty.
I scrolled too far to see this… I didn’t know people were doing stars so differently.
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.
Yeah FR that bro who went 54 did not draw a fucking star.
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.

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.
Do you write a capital A starting at the top?
yes
No, but upper case BDEFHIJKLPRTUVWXYZ all start at the top.
True (and happy cake day) but the star looks most like an A to me, which I think is why I write it the same way… 4135
I write BDFPR from the bottom.
Though I’m also a heretic who starts G from the middle, so don’t listen to me.Do you also start the number 6 in the middle?
What? No. That would be crazy.
Heretics are where I would expect lots of experience in expressing sigils
Now we’re talking 👍
thanks sane person
The correct way
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

Im a lefty, and this is how I draw them.
Same actually
ummmm…
I go 524135
52413 anyone?
You start with a straight line. It literally makes the most sense cause it decides the size of the star as well.
You meant vertical I think, but get it, this order makes sense even though it wasn’t my first instinct
horizontal
Any of them are straight lines and decide the size of the star. Some of us are more refined and can handle diagonal sizing.
Weird flex to call someone unrefined for how they draw a star. Not very refined.
For someone on lemy.lol you sure take things too seriously. 😉
Aww cute. Still not gonna just take you being rude though cause you can read.
Bruh, you’re on lemmyshitpost, not lemmybetakenseriously.
Your comedy is lacking.
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

This is the only way. What kind of troglodyte starts on an upstroke?
Out of curiosity, how do you write a capital letter A?
How do you write? Left to right?
Start at the top, go down to the left. Pick up pen. Start at the top, go down to the right. Pick up pen. Go across.
Same, although I write in cursive so I don’t usually do this
I hate you
You monster
Tsk, true left-to-right writing would do the crossbar second.
Obviously
Had to scroll too far to find this
I think this is the left-handed way.
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.
352413, I mean, clearly.
Hello fellow lefty.
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.
Wait, people are being taught ways other than 414524?
Sorry, we don’t draw fish here
414524
🤨
I mean, I was, because the goal was to make a star…
31425
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…
