The Pentagram is a symbol of the ability to bring the Spirit to Earth to make us whole, and as a sign of re-emerging enlightenment. The Pentacle is layered in symbolism, and is used by some as a talisman for protection, for divine life, and good health. The five pointed symbol occurs throughout history in use by others besides Pagans. Jews used it to designate Pentateauch, the five books of Moses. It has also appeared in church architecture, representing for Christians the five wounds of Christ. The five-pointed stars symbolism also ties to that of the apple, which cut cross-wise forms a pentagram. The five points represent ideas, sustenance, life, secret knowledge, hidden mysteries within the earth. The apple has been a sacred symbol of knowledge and eternal life - a sign that the universe and ourselves are One, allowing us to tap into the Universal energy to achieve bliss and wholeness. (Certain religons designated sacred knowledge as the right of only One Diety, and the apple came to symbolize things that we should not attempt to know, or forbidden knowledge.) The Pentagram is the symbol as drawn or written. A Pentacle is the round disk inscribed with the Pentagram (as in jewelry).
Some other meanings associated with the Pentagram are:
The Pentagram can symbolize the ruling of higher mind over the lower elements of our being. It marks the awakening of Cosmic consciousness, the beginnings of human psyche moving beyond the realms of physical form and perceptions limited to the five senses. Through the Spirit ruling over the five elements it allows infinite possibilities that exist within the Universe and frees us to explore and grow. Sources:
