And, yes, I looked deep into the origins of the former word to see if there was any point where it looked like Greek influenced the proto-Germanic, and I couldn't find it.It's not hard to draw the connection between the occult magic symbol hexagram and the word hex...

Quote:The hexagram, like the pentagram, was and is used in practices of the occult and ceremonial magic and is attributed to the 7 "old" planets outlined in astrology.
The six-pointed star is commonly used both as a talisman[8] and for conjuring spirits and spiritual forces in diverse forms of occult magic. In the book The History and Practice of Magic, Vol. 2, the six-pointed star is called the talisman of Saturn and it is also referred to as the Seal of Solomon.[9] Details are given in this book on how to make these symbols and the materials to use.
