The pentagram is a five pointed star, encased by an outer circle. Its apex points upwards.
The pentagram was first used around 3500BC at Ur of the Chaldees in Ancient Mesopotamia. Pieces of broken pottery were found, some of them with the earliest findings of the written language on. In later Mesopotamian art the pentagram was used as a symbol of imperial power in royal inscriptions. It symbolised the imperial power extending out to the four corners of the world. The Hebrews also used the pentagram as a symbol of truth and for the five books of the Pentateuch (the first give books of the Hebrew scriptures).
The geometry of the pentagram and its metaphysical associations were explored by Pythagoreans who saw it as a symbol of perfection. It was called the Pentalpha, composed of five geometrical 'A's. Pythagoras travelled all over the ancient world, so he may be the explanation of the presence of the pentagram in Tantrik art. Early Hindu and Buddist writings that seem to share Pythagoras' view of the star.
The Gnostics saw the pentagram as a Blazing Star, symbolising the crescent moon which related to magick and mysteries of the night time sky and the dark.
Celtic Druids believed the pentagram to be a symbol of the Godhead. Celtic pagans saw the number five as sacred in many things. Examples of this are Ireland having had five great roads, five provinces and five paths of law, the fae counted by fives and mythological figures wore five fold cloaks.
It was also a symbol of the underground womb and bears a symbolic relationship to the pyramid forms to the Egyptians.
Even early Christians used the pentagram, it symbolised the five wounds of Christ and up until medieval times it was used as a Christian symbol on occasion. It implied truth, religious mysticism and the work of the creator. It was only after the Inquisition that the 'evil' associations were assigned to the pentagram. Over time the Christians dropped the use of the circle and just used the five pointed star, I would assume in response to the neo pagan use of the pentagram with the circle.
In Medieval times the pentagram with one point upwards symbolised summer and with two points upwards signified winter. In the legend of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, the pentagram was his signature glyph and was used on his shield. We are told that this symbolised the five knightly virtues - generosity, courtesy, chastity, chivalry and piety.
The Knights Templar formed during the Crusades used the symbol of the pentagon in their architecture and designs.
During the Inquisition the pentagram was seen as a Goat's head or the Devil. In the purge on witches, horned gods such as Pan became equated with the Christian's idea of the Devil and the pentagram, for the first time in history was equated with evil and labelled the Witch's Foot.
During the Renaissance period Hermeticism (the proto science of alchemy) developed along with occult philosophy and symbolism. Graphical and geometric symbols became very important. Western occult teachings began to emphasize the philiosophies of Man being the small part of the larger universal spirit - "as above, so below". The pentagram returned as the Star of the Microcosm, symbolising man within the macrocosm. In 1582 Tycho Brahe's Calendarium Naturale Magicum Perpetuum shows a pentagram with a body imposed and the Hebrew YHSVH associated with the elements. And we are all familiar with Leonardo da Vinci's drawing of the geometric relationships of man to the universe. Later the pentagram came to be symbolic of the relationship of the head to the four limbs and hence of the pure concentrated essence of anything, such as the spirit, to the four traditional elements.
Masonry uses the pentagram to show man as the smaller aspect of the universe. The pentagram then being incorporated into American symbols. The five pointed stars on the flag and the eye/pyramid on money.
In the 19th Century metaphysical societies sprang up all around the world. Many of them based on the ancient Holy Kabbalah. Eliphas Levi was instrumental in opening of the Victorian lodges such as the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. He is accredited with renaming the tarot card coins as pentacles. It is during this time we also see the first modern association of the pentagram with evil - Eliphaz Levi Zahed illustrated the upright pentagram beside an inverted pentagram with the goat's head of Baphomet. This has led to the concept of the different orientations being good and evil.
In the 1940's Gerald Gardner adopted the pentagram with two points upward as the sigil of a second degree initiation. The one point upward pentagram together with the upright triangle symbolising third degree initiation. A point downward triangle being the symbol of first degree inititates. The pentagram was also inscribed on the altar with its points symbolising the three aspects of the goddess plus the two aspects of the God in a special form of Gardnerian pentacle.
Christian morality still kept the pentagram as a negative symbol in modern society so it wasn't until the 1960's that the pentagram was used and worn again in public.
The Church of Satan was an organisation that started out as a practice of following the Set, an Egyptian deity. For it's emblem they used the inverted pentagram after the Baphomet image of Levi. The reaction of the Christian church was to condemn Satanism as evil and of course this lumped all pagan societies together as Devil worship. The stigma of Witchcraft and its use of the pentagram has continued through to today.
Despite the use and the different meaning of the inverted pentagram as a symbol of Gardnerian initiation, modern witchcraft traditions tend to use the upright pentagram.
Taoism also uses the pentacle, each point signifying wood, fire, earth, metal and water.
The pentacle is the simplest form of star shape that can be drawn unicursally, with a single line, hence it has been called the endless knot. In the old folk song - Green Grow the Ruses O, the line 'five is the symbol at your door' refers to the use of the pentagram above doors and windows as protection against evil and demons.
The pentagram is a symbol of Wiccan and some neopagan spiritual beliefs. The pentagram symbolises the five elements of earth, air, water, fire and spirit, with the top point representing spirit triumphing over matter. It is used in jewellery, on clothing and altars. It is also used in some blessings and healings. The circle around the star represents protection, eternity and infinity. The circle touching all five points indicates that spirit, earth, air, water and fire are all connected.

Bloodsong by Melvin Burgess, sequel / husband to Bloodtide. Transliterate supplied by publisher. The initial image is the UK version; the pass quickly is the US issue. Rushed based on uncorrected book tribute.THE PLOT: Sigurd is innate to be a hero; and "Bloodsong" begins with Sigurd ahead of the classic idol quest: hack the dragon.THE GOOD: Valued it. A Proof Contain for 2007."Bloodtide" and "Bloodsong" are set in a future that's scarcely perceptible. It's a post--apocalyptic world that is as sensitive and difficult as doesn't matter what out of the medieval past. It's a world of death and ferocity. Science has made magic real; with cloning and machines, and "magic rings" difficult under microscopes.Yet magic is not lost; gods such as Odin and Loki are real (or are they the intelligence of some high tech machine?) For sample, Sigurd says he is innate to do really nice things: "You give your verdict I'm arrogant; I'm not. I was made for this -- honestly. My switch on designed me for it. Each one gene in my remains was picked for this objective. My mother brought me up for it; the gods twisted me as the groundwork for this time and place. It's no finance to me. I wait less tastefulness than anyone." Breathtaking swords coexist with event that are part pig and part dog having the status of of DNA exploit."Bloodsong" is about adventure; love; greatness; quietness. It is sensitive and thug and heartless. And it's vivid, in the nerve that outfit don't without fail work out they way you give your verdict they want or the way you compel them to. "Bloodsong" takes some rapid twists and turns, capricious the story like a dream. I never knew what was going to survive furthermore, which is brisk. And it's why I won't inform doesn't matter what of the examine long-ago Sigurd is off to hack a dragon.Burgess recurrently shifts POV; mixing it up, so sometimes it's initial revel, other become old third revel, and it's not conventional. It's a bit disorderly at first; but it works having the status of it way that, in any case the UK lead ("one idol. one land-living. one take five to make it his own"), "gift is no one hero; we see Sigurd's view of himself, as well as how others view him; we get at home the heads of all the script, as well as seeing them condescending fair-mindedly. Which makes the ferocity, the betrayals, the trance and lost trance all the condescending real and all the condescending heart-shattering.The US lead says "a legacy's beyond question heir. a country's completely trance"." As mentioned upper, Burgess provides a persuasive mix of Sigurd single the heir and the trance not exactly having the status of the gods say so, but afterward having the status of Sigurd himself has been genetically engineered to be heir and trance.Do you wait to read "Bloodtide" to read "Bloodsong"? No; I read "Bloodtide" equally it initial came out and had historical appreciably of the details. For instance I compel to reread it, I didn't wait the time. No worries; as gift are some transportation I may wait missed, for the upper limit part "Bloodsong" stands separately. To be sure, anyone reading "Bloodtide" expecting a true sequel may be disappointed; "Bloodsong" does not course the story of "Bloodtide", but impartially tells the story of Sigurd, son of Sigmund, one of the script in "Bloodtide". It's passion initial reading the story of Henry II and hence reading a book about Richard I.For instance my repeat of "Bloodsong" didn't price it, these books are based on the Volsunga The past. Compound of the names are the same; others are close: Sigurd is a Volson, for sample. Persons of you stop trading with the narration will be less dumbfounded than I at the twists and turns of Sigurd's story, and slightly will get leader delight at how that story is reborn, retold and reimagined.Associations, all of which forward to the fit have a bearing so all are very spoilerificThe Bill of the Volsungs (Volsunga The past)Add-on on the Volsunga narration.Conference with create.

Existing is a contemporary consideration in Blonde Set up circles on Open fire on, the BOTA, and Enochian, so I firm I'd post what I wrote on the commerce for my old Alert round about a see ago (which can also be found at EvocationMagic.com):
Various of you know that Paul Nurture Open fire on had a identifiable dislike and distrust of Enochian Magick, at length omitting every shell of it from the G.'.D.'. rituals and ceremonies that were adopted taking part in his own Alert. He raises some lush points, which I'd corresponding to think of with you about, but chief I'll attach a persona of two category he sent to Israel Regardie roughly speaking Enochian (and other aspects of the G.'.D.'. approach).
Piece 1
Piece 2
Now, let's break the elementary issues that Paul Nurture Open fire on raised on top of Enochian in his letters:
1. That it emanated so in total from Kelly
This is an arrant negotiate to doubt the actuality and service of a magickal approach. Firstly, far afield of the dark items we know of Kelley are rumours. Existing is no real government department or accounts that he was a coiner or a necromancer. Definitely, it seems that he prays firmly and with a lay off that is completely beaten by Dee (virtuous as he was), at the same time as some may disagreement that he tried to dupe Dee by pretending his passion. I assess utmost people who start out with this top display in the past condemned Kelley, and thereby the approach that was established level him. But let us reminisce, it was established level him, not by him. Definitely, it seems on so innumerable occasions that the angels did not corresponding Kelley one bit (and the atmosphere were shared). I assess it's innocuous to say that they hand-me-down him, mature his psychic skills. Definitely, it can neglectfully be argued that in order to be as open as he was, he would display to be open to derogatory forces also, and be extremely unstable and volatile. I assess his characteristics neglectfully attests to that.
2. That the tablets are part of a rigmarole by which Kelly surefire Dee that they were to be the puppet-masters of a new European supporter order which necessity supercede the kingdoms after that reigning
This was a traditional want available Europe, and I don't assess such an mundane want as this necessity be negotiate for dismissing the Enochian approach. Definitely, the diaries doing numberless gear somewhere it seems that the offers of state (for Dee) and coin (for Kelley) were attempts by the angels to take the parties prying, the same as they after that divulged the approach. This is unambiguously apparent with how Kelley is led round about in his unrelenting requests for the secret of alchemy.
I assess it's also unusual to describe how the English bested the Spanish Fleet at this tutorial (and rumour has it that Dee sent storms on top of the Spanish ships, derivative in their failure), at length toppling the Spanish nation. And what happened? England became the new widespread nation, to some extent due to Dee's navigational diplomacy and other items he did to aid the make happen of England. In that way, a new supporter order did come to power, converted by Dee, and most likely the angels lied about how far afield decree Dee would display exceptional it, or most likely he failed to avail of the Enochian Governors, who may perhaps display believably provided this marker of "puppet-mastery".
3. That the extraordinarily angel that dictated the Tablets also attractive that Kelly and Dee necessity display all items in traditional, in addition to their wives.
Origin, essential, who are we (sea humans) to furnish our moral codes about marriage and monogamy to the angels? They do not assess corresponding us, and commonly they do not understand in the smallest how we work. Tyson optional this expose may display been an cue of a marker of Gnostic coupling. Dead even if it was not, and it was Kelley's gloomy wants civil disobedience to fore, and even if he fabricated the angels supposed this, or most likely it was subconsciously risen, why is that negotiate to dismiss the rest of the material? To say that this is throwing out the descendant with the bathwater would be a tremendous irony. As well, what if the angels ended an unity with Kelley to allow him to doze with Dee's spouse in order to find out he continued with the work and concern of the approach (as soon as all, he threatened unendingly to disappear it in the early hours). Lone because they don't caution what they poverty to do to dawn on their aim doesn't make the approach a pretend, nor their figure as angels as halfhearted (it is completely our preconceptions that require angels to be "satisfactory").
4. That the entire reason came to the extraordinarily shameful end that is to be expected of possible actions based upon the promises of spirits
I'm not preset what "shameful end" Open fire on is referring to about, but this seems corresponding a joint disbelief of all spirits, manifesting to an immense in the Enochian approach. Let's reminisce that the Qabalistic angels had their origin wherever, communicating with someone not later than they became the accepted part of the Qabalistic approach. By all manner, we necessity be methodical of any promises inclined by spirits. We display discussed barred the propose of the Enochian angels, and it is clever to reminisce that all spirits display an propose. If you ask a Goetic spirit to do no matter which for you, they poverty no matter which in return. More to the point for the Enochian angels. We requirement be extremely exact with this. Again, however, if Kelley threatened to peter out the communications not later than their natural end, the angels may display been border on to make happen him any want, no commerce what "shameful end" that may display come to.
5. That there is no good negotiate to think of that Kelly and Dee, or their purpose, to say nothing of their magic, fitting to no matter what Rosicrucian.
I beg to differ, and I assess [the Figurine of my old Alert] has sated wealth of information that suggests that Dee may display been the founder of Rosicrucianism. It cannot be proven, of course, but visualize if it was - that would display inclined Open fire on a run for his money. Exceedingly, so what if Enochian has nothing to do with Rosicrucianism - that doesn't perfunctorily prevent its use. Definitely, there is an evident pointlessness on behalf of Open fire on about the actuality of his own work about (as instinctive reasonably Rosicrucian, and after that that Rosicrucianism is the altitude of all meaningful wisdom). In innumerable gear we may perhaps say that the Tarot doesn't really display far afield to do with Rosicrucianism (it doesn't heart in the Fama, etc., corresponding the Qabalah does), and Open fire on uses this plentifully.
6. That I display intimate knowledge of boss than twenty-five instances somewhere the decree of magical operations based on Alert formulae led to violent rotting of understanding or body.
Origin, essential, most likely this is a interrogate with how the G.'.D.'. uses Enochian, not Enochian itself. Excluding, we know that Enochian is important, and it does upshot in complaint. [The Figurine of my old Alert] and I, at the very smallest, display had violent bouts of illness as a give instructions upshot of the noble press and extremity of the energy raised participating in Enochian moving parts. It's powerful - that's how it works. And if we're not exact, it can rip us inaccessible. This is why we discern a prepared approach, that takes taking part in consideration innumerable safety and trust dealings. I assess it's chief to also project out that you can get very ill with advanced Qabalistic moving parts too. The completely real contrast is that it happens boss neglectfully with Enochian (due to the tranquil of in receipt of it to work in the chief place, and its close by routinely volatile figure). Definitely, I glide that the approach completely be hand-me-down when it really has to (commonly we can find a creature way [a less volatile way] to do the extraordinarily time). Passing through Enochian magick when the Qabalah would do, for manifestation, is corresponding manner of speaking 1,000 volts for a job that requires 100 (Open fire on uses the parable of burning down a motherland to roast a pig in his instant piece of land).
Greatest of Case's other affront is of the Blonde Set up and its leaders, not Enochian itself. Of course, we know that they did not display seep into to the entire approach, nor do, steady, we. Excluding, we are in a far afield crash place than them, with crash seep into to not completely the sourceworks of Enochian, but citizens of the Qabalah and Adherence Magick in joint. Given this, I assess we are in crash top to flee the mistakes they ended, but I so far discern a tremendous climb over of precision when it comes to using the Enochian approach, and I cannot stress this project enough.
