In absolute honesty, the star is a local Roanoke, VA landmark that is up on Mill Mountain and is covered with neon tubing that is lit every night until midnight. According to the information plaque I saw when I took my kids up there day before yesterday, it’s “the world’s largest man-made star” and is visible for 60 miles at night. And yes, it is pretty much as tacky and gaudy as you are imagining, though I thought it was the coolest thing ever whenever we went to Roanoke when I was a kid.
Why someone Photoshopped it into complete distortion and decided it was somehow representative of a mystical chakra, I couldn’t tell you. Heck, you can see the valley overlook right under the authors name.

Jeez. Talk about a front-cover/grahic disconnect… and WTF is the blue “wash” about?
Also, what’s the book about? Is it self-help? A documentary? A novel (and if so, what genre)?
Yeah, font suchs majorly, too.
Ultimate fail: There’s absolutely nothing in this cover that would entice me to pick it up/sample it and maybe, just maybe, consider buying it.
Good Lord. What is that supposed to be???

The weird people from “The Wicker Man” are getting ready to burn a giant… chakra.
In blue.
Really? Joker? I think that’s worse than Papyrus, Bleeding Cowboy, and Comic Sans…ALL ON THE SAME COVER.
That font violates a dozen safety codes.
