Meaning and Use of the Pentagram
The Pentagram is commonly used as a symbol of the interaction between the five elements of the Western Mystery Tradition. Each point on the pentagram is associated with a single element. In the most common system the lower left point is Earth and the upper left point is Air. The lower right point is Fire and the upper right point is Water. The uppermost point signifies Spirit or Quintessence. Visualizing or drawing the pentagram in a specific manner can focus the mind upon a specific point and create a resonance with the particular qualities of the associated element. This is often done by individuals performing either occult activities or religious celebration.
You may have noticed that sometimes the pentagram is shown with one point upward and other times it is shown with one point down. There are many different ways to interpret the difference in symbolism between the upward pointing (or "Obverse") pentagram and the downward pointing (or "Inverse") pentagram. The interpretation that I have encountered most often in my studies is based on the association of each point of the star to an esoteric element. In the obverse pentagram you have the four material elements below the element of Spirit. In many systems this is considered to be symbolic of God's dominion over the physical universe. This is seen as the natural way of things and therefore "good." In this same scheme, the inverse pentagram depicts the dominance of material things over those relating to the divine. This is seen as a perversion of the natural order and therefore "evil."
One of the most common uses of the pentagram in magic, the occult and paganism is to invoke and banish the elements. Each of the five points is associated with one of the elements in a traditional arrangement, shown on some of the images displayed on this page. It is very common for those who express their spirituality through ceremony to trace a pentagram in the air....
