page 15: The exercise may be varied by tracing the Heptagram, i. e., passing from one point to another of a regular Heptagon in this order — 1, 4, 7, 3, 6, 2, 5, 1. page 81: If the hand is stiff, it may be loosened and trained into tune with Nature's formative processes by the practice of drawing the Pentagram and Heptagram.
It was with the adoption and widespread use of the seven-day week throughout the Hellenistic world of mixed cultures that this heptagram [the weekday heptagram] was created.
Note that there are two different heptagrams, one goes around twice and the other thrice; moreover, the configuration at the core of the 3-heptagram is in fact a 2-heptagram and the figure at the core of that is an ordinary heptagon.
Use heptagram when its meaning, tone and grammar fit the full sentence. A synonym is not always a direct replacement.
