The pentagram, the meaning of which we have to find out in this article, is, first of all, a pentagon. Triangles of equal height are located on each of its five rays. In a broad sense, this is the most common five-pointed star. Even a six-year-old child can easily portray her. However, everything would be simple if not for one thing … Our asterisk is of two types: correct and inverted! It seems to "smell like hell" here, doesn't it? Let's find out what these variations of her image mean.

Pentagram: symbol meaning

This is one of the most ancient symbols. Most often it can be found in archaeological sites. The first mention of it as a symbol dates back to the 7th millennium BC! What does the five-pointed pentagram tell us about? The meaning of this symbol in different eras and among different peoplesown. But why exactly the number 5? The fact is that this number was (and is) of particular importance in people's lives. For example, we have exactly five fingers and five senses… However, this is not the main thing.

Ancient Sumerians, Indians and Pythagoras

The pentagram, whose meaning as a symbol is known to every nation of the world, was in great demand among the ancient Sumerians, Babylonians, Celts, Persians, Egyptians and northern Native Americans (Indians). It is interesting that the philosopher and scientist Pythagoras became interested in this symbol as a geometric figure. He said that it was a symbol of perfection, and made the pentagram the hallmark of his school of philosophical and mathematical sciences.

Different peoples drew these signs in their own way. For example, there are at least ten ways to depict a five-pointed star in a circle. As mentioned above, the pentagram is the simplest form of a star with five ends, which is quite easy to depict with one stroke of a pencil without lifting it from a sheet of paper. Adherents of the occult divide pentagrams into creative and destructive ones. The first are drawn in a clockwise direction, and the second - against its direction. Such pentagrams and their meanings, of course, are diametrically opposed. What does this mean?

Human Symbol

The fact is that in such sciences as numerology and magic, the correct pentagram (one ray on top, two on the bottom) is considered a symbol of a person. In such a five-pointed star, a person is drawn with arms and legs outstretched to the side.

SymbolSatan

The wrong pentagram (two beams from above, one from below) is a symbol of the Devil and all Satanists of the world. A goat's head is drawn in an inverted star. Each of its rays is its own element: Fire, Water, Air, Earth, Spirit. Next, let's talk about the pentagram of the Devil.

Inverted Pentagram: Meaning of the "Goat of Mendes"

In the traditional sense, the "Goat of Mendes" or inverted pentagram is the most occult of all images that have ever existed. In another way, this is called the sign of Baphomet. This is the most important symbol of Satanism. This sign has been official since 1966. The fact is that it was at this time that the Church of Satan was founded, the symbol of which is the sign of Baphomet. This, so to speak, "church" is the official world organization.
