The Magen Dovid

The Bible makes no direct mention of the Star of David.

The six-pointed star, is commonly used both as a talisman, and for conjuring spirits in the practice of witchcraft.
The exact origins of the symbol's relation to
Jewish identity, are unknown.
The Shield of David, is not mentioned in ancient
rabbinic literature.

A magic ring called the "Seal of Solomon" was supposedly given to Solomon, and gave him power over demons. The magical symbol said to have been on the Seal of Solomon which made it work is now better known as the Star of David.
