witchcraftceremonial magichermeticism
The five-pointed star enclosed in a circle is perhaps the most recognized symbol in Western occultism. Each point represents an element: Earth, Air, Fire, Water, and Spirit (topmost). Upright, it symbolizes spirit ruling over matter and serves as a powerful protective emblem. The pentagram appears in Pythagorean mathematics, Wiccan practice, ceremonial magic, and countless esoteric traditions.
