Pentagram Edit Meaning

1.

A five pointed star witha circle around it. These can either be pointing up or down, depending on religion. An upright star is used mainly by wicca, but it was also used as a christian symbol, in christianity its meaning is of the five scars of Jesus. One on each arm and leg and one on his side.The only band to my knowledge that uses this symbol is the hard rock band Godsmack. An inverted star is used in Satanism. It represents either pointing toward Hell or a goats head (depending on how you look at it.) Some heavy metal bands such as Slayer and the newer Drowning pool use this symbol.

Most commonly confused with satanism.

3.

A pentagram is a five pointed star. Traditionally, the five points of the star represent the four elements (Earth, Water, Fire, and Air) and Spirit. An upright pentagram represents the triumph of spirit over matter, while an inverted pentagram represents the descent of spirit into matter. Pentagrams are often used in magick, usually to invoke or banish elemental energies when casting a circle. Not to be confused with a pentacle, which is simply a pentagram with a circle around it.

Historical associations of the pentagram include the five senses, the five fingers, the five wounds of Christ, and astrological representation of the five planets: Jupiter, Mercury, Mars and Saturn, and Venus. Modern day associations include: the upright pentagram (or pentacle) as a symbol of adherents to Wicca/Paganism/Witchcraft (much as a Christian would wear a cross as a symbol of their faith). An inverted pentagram with a goat's head, called the Sigil Baphomet, is the official symbol for the Church of Satan.

Earthsong called upon the elemental energies, describing an invoking pentagram at each quarter of the circle.

Unfortunately, the pentagram and pentacle have been mass marketed along with "punk-rock" in stores such as Hot Topic and Spencers as a form of teenage rebellion (remember the movie "The Craft"? Ugh!).

4.

a mathematical symbol invented by Pythagoras back in the day that was mistaken as a pagan/satanist icon by christians. As a (rather ironic) result, pagans and satanists now use it as a religious symbol

in a perfect pentagram all angles are equal, and the ratio of a pair of long-short lines always equals the ratio of the sides of a "golden rectangle" (3x2). This same ratio is now used on string instruments to produce either a perfect fourth (violin, viola, cello) or fifth (guitar, bass) from an open string.

5.

Not to be confused with Satanism OR Christianity symbols. It means something totally difference.

Each point has its own meaning

It means the five senses, five mosaics, five points, most primitive to man kind. It's also the middle age's Goblin's cross. It means Solomon's seal and witch's foot as well.

6.

A five pointed star. The earliest appearance of this symbol dates back to around 3500 BCE. It came to be universally renowned as a symbol of life, protection, and divinity in any orientation. The Greeks made note of its special geometric significance in relation to the golden mean ‘phi’ (hence the number five) and Pythagoras for this reason adopted it as the symbol of his secret society, calling it the Pentalpha. It has been associated with the five elements (in the west—earth, fire, wind, water, and spirit or quintessence—and in the east—wood, fire, earth, metal, water). It represented perfection, the union of divinity with nature and all of life, and also the transcendent nature of the mind and spirit. It was associated with King Solomon and the five books of the Pentateuch by the Jews and viewed as a symbol of Truth. Early Christians associated it with the five wounds of Christ and viewed it as holy. During the Middle Ages the pentagram with one point at the top represented summer and the pentagram with one point at the bottom represented winter, but the symbol came to be associated with ancient gods by the Inquisition and they sought to stamp it ought. The idea that one point at the top represented white magic and one point at the bottom represented black magic came about during the 19th century when Eliphas Levi made two pictures using the pentagram—one with two points at the top and with the face of a goat and the other with one point at the top and the figure of a human being with arms outstretched to heaven—and invented this distinction.

Beneath the cross, inside the yoni, there lies the pentagram--seed of life.
