Upright pentacles (a five-pointed star within a circle) and pentagrams (the five-pointed star alone) have been used in many eras and by many cultures and religions, including ancient pagans and Israelites, magicians and Wiccans, Christians and Celts. It is believed to have originally been a symbol of Kore, a goddess once worshipped from what is now England to Egypt.
It was the first and most important of the Seven Seals, and was inscribed on King Solomon's ring. The pentagram inside referred to the five books of the Torah.
To the Celts it was a sign of Morrigan (Morgan) the Goddess of the Underground.
In Christendom, the five points represented the wounds of Christ. It was used in the Emperor Constantine's seal and amulet. It has been called The Star of Bethlehem and The Three Kings’ Star. Earlier Christians commonly used it as a protective amulet.
The pentagram was the personal symbol of Sir Gawain, nephew of King Arthur. The five points symbolized "the five knightly virtues - generosity, courtesy, chastity, chivalry and piety."
A pentagram is used on the flag of Morocco. Ceremonial magicians also use the pentagram, its points representing various elemental energies, spirits or deities. To the Rosicrucians, it is earth, matter, and stability.
To most Wiccans, the five points are earth, air, fire, water and spirit, or the four directions and spirit. The continuous line that forms the star is the interconnectedness of all things Divine and Earthly, and serves to remind believers to strive toward balance with all they encounter. The pentacle's circle is symbolic of unity, wholeness, the quest for Divine Knowledge, and the never-ending cycle of birth, death, and rebirth.
