The Meaning of the Pentagram or Pentacle

The Pentacle, also known as the Pentagram, Pentalpha, Star of the Microcosm, Five-Pointed Star, or Star of Initiation, represents the regular star pentagon.

Symbolism of the Pentagram

The Pentacle was widely used as a sacred symbol in the practice of cults related to Venus.

Due to its simplicity of construction, which is achieved using a single continuous line, the Pythagoreans attributed to it a mystical meaning of perfection.

The Pentacle is an ancient symbol that takes on several meanings.

Among the ancient Egyptians, it represented the image of Horus and embodied the prima materia, the sacred Fire, that is to say, an inexhaustible source of life that contained the universal germ of all earthly beings.

In other words, we can define the Pentacle as the ultimate symbol of man in relation to the microcosm. In medieval times, we find the symbol of the Pentacle on the first pages of several manuscripts.

It was believed, in fact, that by marking these pages with a Pentacle, the work would have greater chances of success. Furthermore, it was believed that by doing so one would have absolute dominion over the spirits of nature.

Since time immemorial, the Pentacle has been considered an energy catalyst. According to magical tradition, the Pentacle is able to give strength to the person who wears it. It amplifies their genius and attenuates their primal instincts.

For Pythagoras and his disciples, the Pentacle or Pentagram was a sacred symbol. It expressed the harmony between body and soul, and became, on this basis, the sign of health. In the West, the Pentagram is nevertheless an ancient symbol. It is found, among other things, in Etruscan ceramic works.

The Pentagram and the Number Five

The number Five, the essence of the Pentacle, is traced back to the number of elements, the spiritual quintessence (a purely immaterial element of the spirit of the world) and the four usual elements (Water, Fire, Earth, and Air).

The pentagram is also called the Druids' foot.

It is drawn with a line that goes from the top point to the lower left point and serves as an invocation in the pentagram ritual; if, instead, one proceeds from the lower left point upwards, then it serves as a ritual for a spell.
