Five pointed star history symbol. Five pointed star. History and modernity

(PENTAGRAM)

"All the secrets of magic, the symbols of Gnosticism, the figures of the occult, all the keys of the Kabala to prophecy - all this is contained in the sign of the pentagram, this sign is the greatest, most powerful of all signs."

E. Levy

The Kabbalist-Masons have the name of this seal - "The Star of the Magi, the holy mystical pentagram". Known by the Gnostics under the name of the "flaming star", it is a symbol of the omnipotence and autocracy of Reason. This is the star of the magicians; it is a symbol of the incarnation of the "word".

AND. W. Goethe, "Faust"

The five-pointed star - the pentagram - is one of the most controversial signs of the last millennium.

She was depicted on Russian Christian icons (Fig. 1), then adorned the state symbols of the USSR and now has not lost her relevance, and, consequently, her grandeur and magical appeal. She remained on the Spasskaya Tower of the Kremlin, on officer shoulder straps, in the emblems of some political and public associations. The star of the Hero of Russia repeated the star of the Hero of the Soviet Union, it, contrary to the machinations of spiteful critics, adorns the banner of Victory and other military banners. However, according to some legends, it is a symbol of Satan. According to others, each corner of the star symbolizes the wounds of Christ and the five letters of the name "Jesus", which allegedly serves as protection from evil spirits. On the third - the first does not interfere with the second, although there is an opinion that this “the most powerful of all signs”, “.. this is the star of magicians; it is a symbol of the incarnation of the "word".

The second explanation of the sign can be discarded without regret, because the pentagram is much older than Christ. One should not just forget that a fairy tale is a lie, but there is a hint in it, a lesson for good fellows. The truth will again have to be sought in the ancient heritage of the Magi, Brahmins and priests.

The theosophical wisdom of our Ancestors has been dormant for several millennia not only within us - in the genes, but also in the surrounding information space. You just need to learn to comprehend it. Ancient wisdom, probably, is not a mystery for the initiated minority, but it hides from the profane and excites the blood of the descendants of the Slavic-Aryan Clans. The one who has taken the liberty to find his place in the Universe, learn the secrets of Nature and get in touch with the unknown, can use the five-pointed star as a symbol. After all, she is a symbol of penetration into the bowels of the hermetic (hidden) sciences. It is not without reason that Masons place the Latin G in the center of the pentagram, which supposedly means at the first stage - God (God), then the letter is presented as a symbol of geometry - the basis of the construction art of freemasons. The last explanation is “gnosis”, that is, teaching, wisdom.

And the eternal attempts to look inside a person, to understand the work of his body, to explain the nature of life and death, expanded the symbolic meaning of the sign. In Pythagorean circles, the pentagram became a symbol of health and medicine.

The authors of some research papers believe that the five-pointed star is not a Slavic-Aryan symbol, because not enough evidence has been found for the use of this sign in everyday life. Allegedly, the star was brought to Russia on the eve of the revolution by Lev Davidovich Trotsky (Bronstein) from the USA.

It should be noted that the pentagram is the most powerful magical sign, which was used exclusively by magicians, sorcerers and witches (witches). The sign served as a key for communication and communication with the mighty forces of parallel worlds. The use of a flaming star in everyday life by uninitiated community members should be considered dangerous and illogical. In addition, the vast expanses of the Russian North and Siberia are completely unexplored and are a storehouse of historical secrets.

Sergei Nilus in his book "There is near, at the door" very subjectively and chaotically describes the image of the blond and blue-eyed giant Hermes - an alien from the far North "Le charito Hermes" (Fig. 2):

"This drawing ... is taken from the book "Dogme et Rituei de la Haute Magie" par Eliphas Levy ("Dogme and Rite of Higher Magic", op. Eliphas Levi) ... In this figure we see a throne and on it a certain person sitting in a crown, in armor, with a rod in his right hand and with mysterious signs on his shoulders ... The throne is set on a chariot, which is harnessed by two sphinxes - light and dark. The chariot is established on the surface of the ball… The crown with three pentagrams means the origin of the power of the “coming” not from God, but from the devil…”

And what is the Devil, and how is he not God? Or maybe one day we mixed them up ... with someone's help? In order not to get bogged down in dogmatism and conventions, let's recall the phrase of the janitor from the classic work: "... someone has a mare's bride!" The seventh card of the TARO "Chariot" is also presented here. First, you should pay attention that if the sphinxes have a specific belonging to the color scheme (light and dark), then the white skin color of the alien, the performer of some great mission is a fact. And secondly, we must remember that the description of the picture was made not by a Slavic or Egyptian priest, but by a convinced preacher of the Christian religion. ball (Earth, World) on the basis of the teachings of northern white magicians, did not necessarily have an evil "devilish" basis. Most likely, it did not have it at all. Settling in the lands of Asia, North Africa and Europe, the white carriers of the great "Indo-European" civilization did no harm not to any other nation... quite the opposite, and the imposition of the "new world order" began only when super-knowledge fell into the hands of biblical Jews - former slaves of the Egyptian pharaohs . Then the doctrine became a destructive weapon.

Many followers of the Vedic worldview with purely Christian aggressiveness today completely reject some signs and symbols, again using Christian dogmas and reasoning. But does not the teaching of the ancient sages become flawed after this “circumcision”? After all, according to old legends, it is the spirits that tell magicians all the secret information about the past, present and future of our Nature. The current masters of the world - the Masons of the highest initiations - need this information, but the slaves of the new gods do not need it ...

Referring to the Kabbalah, Nilus also writes: "Depending on where the rays of this star turn, this magical absolute means good or evil, Lucifer or Vesper, the morning or evening star. The pentagram depicts Satan with two rays upwards, and the Savior with one ray upwards ... " The footnote also states that "it is necessary to understand everything the other way around" ...

It turns out that the direction of the rays of the five-pointed star does not indifferently have a specific meaning, but the magical properties of the pentagram, as according to experts, in both cases they surpass the magical properties of a six-pointed star. The last picture shows the Masonic god Baphomet inscribed in an "inverted-flaming star.

BY THE WAY, some sources call the pentagram the star of Solomon - Mochin-Shlomo. Much honor to Solomon, he he costs. Star of Solomon according to Yu.M Ivanov, ect seven-pointed star ... It's hard to believe, but you can assume for in In Kabbalism, there is a layout of the 22 letters of the Hebrew alphabet, respectively, into 3-7-12. alignment is recorded on sharp corners of three geometric shapes inserted one into the other. By the way, Kabbalah has distant Slavic-Aryan roots, insists on this"devoting "puppy" associate of the magician and mystic Papus, the Marquis of Saint-Yves d "Alveidre. And in general, the seven-pointed star in the geral wild is quite common.

Figure 3 shows a creature called a monster - a hermaphrodite with a goat's head. His name is Baphomet. He still has the same pentagram in his forehead. Masons-Kabbalists consider Baphomet to be the great activator of magical energy, the living and astral fire of the earth. They say: “The profane call him the devil, but for us he is the god Pan…”

We regularly observe something similar on TV, but attention should be paid to the explanation of the essence of the symbol, since it is here that the secret veil opens. The Templars at one time claimed that the word Baphomet came from Baphe - baptism, and Meteos - initiation, that is, baptism by fire. A series of terms lies in the same direction and complements each other, but the drawing, of course, is the fruit of the "excited by magical energy" imagination of the defrocked priest.

So, the flaming star is present both in the crown of the legendary Hermes Trismegistus, and in the forehead of the goat "Baphomet" - the god of the Masons. To understand the identity of the pentagram, you will have to get rid of the husk and late Christian layers. hermetic (closed) compositions.And God Pan in Greek mythology is the patron of herds, shepherds and Nature.By the way, in Vrubel's painting, Pan does not look like a hermaphrodite at all.

In the Slavic-Russian Vedic heritage, the Greek Pan (conditionally) corresponds to the God Veles - the “cattle god”, the patron of domestic animals, the god of wisdom and wealth (this is how modern encyclopedic dictionaries represent him). But that's not all, Veles - the third person in the Vedic trinity, the God of the level of Perun, is only his antipode - the opposite. It has a connection with the World of Navi, and in Reveal appears in various guises. He is the god of Light and Knowledge. He is both the Egyptian Thoth and the Greek Hermes. He is also Lucifer - the light that brings, allegedly “fallen” into the mirror World (this is what Christians call Satan and the Devil), and he also knows the secrets of magical herbs that save from ailments, opens any bonds (nauses). Slavic Veles is a more meaningful and self-sufficient person than his southern prototypes. Apparently, he became the basis of all Indo-European mythology.

The symbolic animal of Veles is a bear or an ancient bull Tur. True, in the Mediterranean, the graceful bull Tura was exterminated even before our era, and some local mountain goat got his name. In the synthetic Greco-Roman mythology, Zeus (the white God) turned into a bull and kidnapped Europa, the daughter of the Phoenician king, the bearer of Semitic-Hamitic blood. A fairy tale is a lie, but there is a hint in it ... A generation later, the Minotaur was born to them. In our opinion - a man-bull, but in their language - a man-goat. The medical term is freak, but the zoological term is bastard. This bastard was identified with the Greek hermaphrodite Pan. The racial uncleanliness of the "ancient gods" gave rise to unimaginable perversions and led to mutations not only physical, but also spiritual.

Ugliness has become a symbol of holiness in Europe ... only the faded star in the forehead of a goat - a symbol of initiation into the secret sciences - is alarming. And what can you expect from a bastard, especially armed with knowledge?

Now Baphomet, the artificial god of political, economic and sexual perverts, is celebrating his victory. He dressed up in someone else's clothes and brazenly looks at us from a US one dollar bill. In principle, he is a democrat and allows everything except the revival of the ancient Vedic worldview. Through the mouth of the freemason Voltaire, he addressed the "initiated" leaders of European states: “I recommend superstition to you. It is necessary to destroy it from noble people and leave it to the rascals. Through the mouths of interested Christian hierarchs, he forbade the veneration of Native Gods, and through the mouths of politicians he declared "neopagans" to be fascists. It is impossible to destroy Baphomet, even by prohibiting the use of the pentagram, he has already become a part of Nature. Persuading, banging your head against the wall is just as useless as waving banners at the walls of the State Duma - he has a goal, but no conscience. It is no longer possible to buy Baphomet today. All the gold in the world now belongs to him and his children, and dollars are last year's leaves for the profane.

To deprive a freak of strength, one must become stronger than the freak, rise above him. Today, only the Russian sorcerer, the heir to the Slavic traditions, can do this. Now the remnants of the pale-faced West have already come to their senses and turned their gaze towards Russia. But Baphomet does not sleep, so now every priest we have is either Trotsky or Kaganovich...

Official history ignores the fact that at the dawn of the formation of Soviet power in Russia, its leadership was faced with the question: which symbol is preferable as a state swastika or a five-pointed star? At this time, a sleeve patch appeared for the soldiers of the Red Army of the South-Eastern Front, containing both a four-beam swastika and a pentagram.

Undoubtedly, the Jew L. D. Trotsky, who came from New York with money and instructions for the implementation of revolutionary measures, played some role in this choice. The ruling circles of the United States, as well as the governments of the countries of Western Europe, by that time were already deeply mired in Freemasonry, and their craze for magic and Satanism was no longer a secret. The desire for world domination based on secret teachings has become the main thread in the web of American vultures' public policy, and the magic pentagram has become a fashionable sign not only in the United States, but also in other countries. But in the USSR, the five-pointed star personified, as we were explained, the friendship of the peoples of five continents.

And yet, is it really so necessary at the official state level to openly advertise the ancient magical sign - the key to secret knowledge that allows you to penetrate into other spaces, it is also a symbol of connection with the otherworldly, invisible world - the world of Navi? Or is it better to hide the sign so as not to injure the psyche of the "profanes" who accidentally got to the bottom of its essence?

The pentagram will not cease to exist after that, just like its current sacred meaning: "NOVUS 0RDO SECLORUM" - "NEW WORLD ORDER". It is too early to refuse it. The pro-American world order was built by fake "masons" and did not become reinforced concrete. It must be replaced by another "new world order". This is possible, since world domination is not at all a delusion of someone's inflamed imagination, but is a natural goal in the cruel struggle between good and specific evil.

Chapter 30

The pentagram expresses the dominance of the Spirit over the elements of Nature. With this magical sign we can command the elemental beings that inhabit the regions of fire, air, water and earth.

Before this terrible symbol the Demons tremble and run in terror.

The pentagram with the highest end up serves to make the dark ones flee. The pentagram with the end down serves to call the dark ones. Installed at the entrance to the door with the upper end inward, and the two lower corners outward, it does not allow black magicians to enter. The pentagram is the Flaming Star. The pentagram is a sign of speech made by the flesh. According to the direction of its rays, it can represent God or the Devil; the sacrificed lamb or male goat of Mendez. When the Pentagram raises its highest ray into the air, it represents Christ. When the Pentagram raises the two lower ends into the air, it represents Satan.

The pentagram represents the Complete Man. The Higher Ray upwards is the Teacher. With the upper Ray down and the two lower ends up, this is the Fallen Angel. Every fallen Bodhisattva is an inverted Flaming Star. Any Initiate who allows himself to fall actually turns into an inverted Flaming Star.

The best Electrum is a flaming star with seven metals that correspond to the seven planets. These are the following metals: silver for the Moon; mercury for Mercury; copper for Venus; gold for the Sun; iron for Mars; tin for Jupiter and lead for Saturn.

You can make medallions to hang around your neck, rings to wear on your ring finger.

You can also draw a Flaming Star on the white skin of a ram to keep in the room. It can always be used on the threshold of the Wedding Bedroom. This is how we prevent dark forces from entering the bedroom. Also, the pentagram can be drawn on glass, which terrifies ghosts and Demons.

The pentagram is the symbol of the Life Speech Universe. It is possible to make the Pentagram instantly shine with the help of certain secret mantras.

In the Upanishads of Gopalatapani and Krishna we found a mantra that has the power to instantly form in the astral plane a Terrible Flaming Star, before which the Demons flee in horror. This mantra consists of five parts, namely: Klim, Krishnaya, Govindaya, Gopihana, Vayabaya, Suaha. With the chanting of this Mantra, a Flaming Star is instantly created, in front of which the dark ones of the Eighteenth Arcanum flee in horror. These Demons savagely attack the initiate while he is working on the Great Deed. The supporters of the Perfect Matrimony must fight hard against the dark ones. Each vertebra in the spine represents a terrible battle against the Black Magicians. They fight to remove the student from the Path of the Blade's Edge.

There are three distinct steps in the powerful mantra we have just mentioned: by chanting "Klim," which in India the occultists call the "Seed of Attraction," we provoke the flow of the Christic Energy, which instantly descends from the World of the Solar Logos to protect us, and then a mysterious door opens down. Then, with the help of the next three parts of the mantra, the one who pronounces it is filled with the Christic Energy, and at the end, with the help of the fifth word, the one who has received the Christic Energy can radiate it with terrible force to protect himself from the dark ones. Then they run in terror.

Speech always crystallizes in the form of geometric lines. This has already been proven by the tape recorder. The speech is recorded on tape. Each letter crystallizes into a geometric figure. It is enough then to make the tape vibrate on the reproducing apparatus in order to repeat the speech. God geometrizes. The word takes geometric shapes. These mantras mentioned by us have the power to instantly form a Flaming Star in the Supersensitive Worlds. This star is the vehicle for the movement of the christian power. This star represents Speech.

With this powerful mantra, all those who work in the ignited forge of Vulcan can defend themselves. The mentioned mantra is pronounced syllable by syllable. With this mantra, you can conjure the Demons that control the possessed.

We urgently need to learn how to instantly create a Flaming Star. With this mantra, we can create a Star to fight against the Dark Ones.

The educated ignoramuses, who are in abundance in this age, can laugh like idiots at what they do not know. These people assume that our mantras are just words without any value, and that their energy is lost in space. They ignore the inner meaning of words. They do not know about the main substance of the word and therefore they laugh at our mantras.

Every word has one external meaning and one internal meaning. This is precisely the inner meaning of the Main Substance of the word. The inner element of the word is not understood in our Three-dimensional space. The inner element of the word must be sought in the Higher Space in the Dimensions that surpass ours. Our space appears before us only as a part of the higher space. So we come to the conclusion that we do not know the whole space. The only thing we know is a small part that can be measured in terms of length, width and height.

The inner Element of the word is processed geometrically in the Higher Dimensions of space. Thus, with the help of the mantras given in this chapter, we can form a Pentagonal Star, invisible to physical eyes, but perfectly visible to the Sixth Sense.

Scientists know nothing about matter in the Fourth Dimension. They know nothing about the hypergeometry of this kind of space of the Fourth Dimension. The definition of space as a form of the matter of the Universe will suffer from a very serious disadvantage, introducing the concept of Matter, that is, the unknown, because in reality Matter continues to be Unknown. All attempts of physics to define matter lead only to a dead end: X = Y, Y = X. This is the dead end of physicists.

Psychological definitions of Matter also lead to the same dead end. A wise man said: “Matter (as a force) does not present any difficulty to us. We understand everything about it for the simple reason that we invented it. When we talk about Matter, we think about sensitive things. What is more difficult for us to handle is the mental alteration of concrete but more complex facts.”

“Strictly speaking, Matter exists only as a concept. To tell the truth, the character of Matter, even though it is only spoken of as a concept, is so obscure that most persons are unable to tell us what they mean by it. No one really knows what Matter is, and yet the conservative and reactionary school of Materialistic Positivity is based on this concept.

Although this is not to the liking of physicists, we must accept that Matter and Energy are officially accepted words to denote a series of complex facts whose essential origin is unknown to science. Who has seen Matter? Who has seen Energy? We only see phenomena. No one has seen Matter independent of Substance. No one has seen Energy separated from Movement. So this proves that Matter and Energy are only abstract concepts. Nobody sees the Matter separated from the Object. Nobody sees Energy separated from Movement. Matter and Energy separated from things and phenomena is a mystery for a human being. The human being is ninety-seven percent subconscious and three percent conscious. The human being dreams about the phenomena of nature and calls them Matter, Energy, etc. Before the universe existed, before all phenomena existed, the word existed. The logo sounds real.

At the dawn of Life, the Army of the Word celebrated the geometric rituals of fire by singing in the sacred language. The Great Word crystallized in geometric figures, which were condensed with the help of the Raw Material of the Great Deed, which gave rise to all natural phenomena.

Peace and Consciousness are in fact the result of the word. Three-dimensional space is a property of our Material perception. When we improve the quality of representations, the quality of perceptions also improves, and we enter the Higher Dimensions of Space, where the Three-Dimensional World no longer exists and only our memory remains, like a dream.

In fact, the World that appears before our consciousness is only the mechanics of all causes in combination, which give rise to a series of certain sensations.

Beyond the World of Consciousness is the main cause of all existence. This word. It is the Speech that creates the Worlds. "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." "It was in the beginning with God." “All things came into being through Him, and without Him nothing came into being that came into being.” "In Him was life, and the life was the light of men." "And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not understand it."

Speech is fully indicated by the Five-Pointed Star. This is a Flaming Star. With it, we can protect ourselves from the dark ones. Before this magnificent star, the columns of Angels and Demons tremble.

Recently, I have been interested in symbolism (there were some lessons in "form creation"). Especially the meanings of the stars.
Of course, the most sacred figure is a circle and a three-dimensional prototype - a ball. After all, if we take space, then from the planet they have the shape of a sphere. And the stars-symbols fit in and are calculated precisely thanks to the circle and the compass - nothing more is needed for accuracy!
One of the famous stars Star of David. Very ancient Jewish sign.

As you can see, it fits easily into the center of the circle, just like the five-pointed pentagram (more on that later). To find the rays, you need to divide the circle with a line and adjust the length of the radius of the circle from the existing diameter. Now, from each side point, we put a compass there and make new points - six points have come out that we can connect to each other. Such an easy explanation (who understood) how to exactly find a star, which essentially consists of three triangles.
Star of David or Seal of Solomon, Star of Goliath, or else Hexagram means a symbol illustrating the universal circulation of the cosmos and at the same time indicating the norms of behavior for a person.
But what does this star mean for men and women. Find the difference!

Of course, living in our time, I disagree with many things, but the fact remains! ;)

Okay, let's finish it, with the hexagram! The next one was supposed to be the Star Octagon, but in the way I mentioned pentagram, then we will talk about it. Who does not know the pentagram or, in other words, the pentacle. Pentacle is more like to call this symbol people one way or another related to magic. The geometric symbol of harmony, health and mystical forces - this is exactly what the pentagram is.
The wiki says that:

The first known images of the pentagram date back to around 3500 BC. e., these are five-pointed stars painted on clay, found in the ruins of the ancient city of Uruk. Images of pentagrams are also found on Egyptian statues. According to Arthur Waite in his New Encyclopedia of Freemasonry, the Egyptians called the pentagram "the star of the dog-headed Anubis."
The pentagram was widely known as a sign protecting from all evil; faith in its protective properties was so deep that in ancient Babylon it was depicted on the doors of shops and warehouses to protect goods from damage and theft. It was also for the initiates a powerful sign of power. So in the same Babylon, for example, this sign is often found on royal seals, and, according to modern scientists, it personified "the power of the ruler, which extended to all four cardinal points."
The Jews associated the pentagram with their sacred Pentateuch, received by Moses from God. The ancient Greeks called the pentagram Pentalph, which means "five letters of alpha", since the symbol can be decomposed into alpha five times. For early Christians, the pentagram was a reminder of the five wounds of Christ: from the crown of thorns on the forehead, from the nails in the hands and feet.

I cannot fail to note that in ancient China this star (U-Sing Pentagram) meant five elements.
It includes five classes (Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, Water) characterizing the state and interconnection of all existing objects and phenomena. The sequence of elements is defined in the canon "Shu jing", chapter "Hong fan"
Mutual generation is as follows: Wood generates Fire, Fire generates Earth, Earth generates Metal, Metal generates Water, Water generates Wood.
Mutual overcoming is as follows: Wood conquers Earth, Earth conquers Water, Water conquers Fire, Fire conquers Metal, Metal conquers Wood.

As for other and more familiar interpretations, the five-pointed star reads like this:

Many consider this to be a Western religion, but the Slavs, long before baptism (albeit without a star :)), also revered these five elements.

The pentagram is a symbol of a perfect person standing on two legs with outstretched arms. We can say that a person is a living pentagram. This is true both physically and spiritually - a person possesses five virtues and manifests them: love, wisdom, truth, justice and kindness.
Truth belongs to the spirit, love to the soul, wisdom to the intellect, kindness to the heart, justice to the will.
Later symbolism: five senses; masculine and feminine, expressed by five points; harmony, health and mystical powers. The pentagram is also a symbol of the victory of the spiritual over the material, a symbol of security, protection, a safe return home.

Pentagram as a magical symbol:
A pentacle with one end up and two down is a sign of white magic, known as the "foot of the druid"; with one end down and two up, it represents the so-called "goat's hoof" and the horns of the devil - a sign change characteristic of symbolism from positive to negative when it is turned over.

The pentagram of the White Magician is a symbol of magical influence and the dominance of a disciplined Will over the phenomena of the world. The will of the Black Magician is directed to destruction, to the refusal to perform a spiritual task, therefore the inverted pentagram is considered as a symbol of evil.

I would like to point out that:
For many millennia, the pentagram personified a symbol of goodness and light. And in just 500 years, it has become a symbol of evil.

And a little more about double pentagram(man and the universe):
There is also a correspondence between the human body and the five elements (earth, water, air, fire and ether): will corresponds to earth, heart to water, intellect to air, soul to fire, spirit to ether. Thus, by his will, intellect, heart, soul, spirit, a person is connected with the five elements working in the cosmos, and he can consciously work in harmony with them. This is the meaning of the symbol of the double pentagram, in which the small one is inscribed in the large one: a person (microcosm) lives and acts inside the Universe (macrocosm).

Now it's the turn Octagonal the most static star, consisting of two squares.

This figure is an interweaving of two squares, a symbol of the relationship between God and man. A person who carries the karma of God in himself and is freed from his personal and universal karma. To shed karma, a person must be selfless and not attached to his own personality.
The figure is also interpreted as a mess in which everything disappears and a mess of harmony.

This star was taken as a basis by one of the four dominant religions - Islam. But I met her in our churches. So, recently in the Kiev Botanical Garden I went to our Church and found there the patterns of the stars of the Hexogram and the Octagonal Square.

The square symbolizes the most practical use of space. And because it is this star that symbolizes Balance ...

And now about others ... briefly;)

And finally...
star tetrahedron-

I was forced to do such a handsome man along with a star quadrahedron on insta! :) It's a pity I can't show it - I passed it! ;)
OK...
Star quadrahedron

star tetrahedron- a figure consisting of two mutually intersecting tetrahedra. This figure can also be perceived as a three-dimensional star of David.
Tetrahedra manifest as two opposite laws: the law of the spirit (radiation, bestowal, selflessness, selflessness) and the law of matter (drawing inward, cooling, freezing, paralysis). Only a person can consciously combine these two laws, since he is the link between the world of spirit and the world of matter.
The star tetrahedron thus represents the two poles of creation in perfect balance.

Pentagram: symbol meaning, photo, types of pentagrams

Many signs that are found in modern times had a completely different meaning among ancient peoples. And the most common and ancient symbol that has survived to this day is the pentagram. Naturally, now it has acquired a completely different meaning than before, thanks to modern literature and cinema. Mysticism is attributed to her, she is even demonized, considering her a symbol of the devil.

What does the sign look like?

What is a pentagram? Its meaning is ambiguous. It is a regular pentagon with isosceles triangles of equal height on each side. From Greek, the meaning is literally translated as "five lines." In other words, it is a correctly constructed geometric figure with five ray symmetries.

If you depict this sign without taking your hands off, you get the most ancient symbol discovered by historians. Over the long centuries of the existence of the pentagram, a large number of meanings were attributed to it. Even the Sumerian and Egyptian civilizations designated stars with this sign. Their outlines are sometimes found on archaeological sites that date back to the seventh millennium BC. But there is an opinion that such a symbol arose long before that.

The pentagram of the ancient peoples of the world

Later, this symbol no longer denoted the stars, but the feelings of a person. In addition, the masculine and feminine principles were attributed to him, as well as three points, symbolizing harmony, health and mystical powers. The pentagram, the meaning of which is multifaceted, also expresses the victory of spirituality over materialism, symbolizes safety, protection, and assistance to travelers on the road.

The Egyptians called the pentagram the "Star of Isis" and associated it with the underground womb of Mother Earth. When studying ancient Egyptian writing, you can stumble upon a hieroglyph that is depicted in the form of this symbol. The translation of the hieroglyph is literally - “enlighten”, “train”. For the Celtic nation, this symbol was the designation of the goddess of death and war - Morgana, and it was called "The Trail of the Druid." From the excavations of ancient Greek culture, we learned that they called the pentagram “pentalf”, denoting the combination of five letters, namely alpha.

What else interesting will the pentagram tell us? The meaning of this symbol was important to the Jews, who associated it with the sacred five books received by Moses as a gift from God. Throughout history, the pentagram existed among many peoples and had completely incompatible meanings.

The duality of the symbol

The pentagram has been interpreted in two ways since ancient times. There was an opinion that this symbol was the strongest protective amulet that could protect from any evil. For example, in ancient Babylon, a pentagram was depicted at the entrance to shops and warehouses. Merchants believed that its properties would protect their goods from theft and damage. There, in Babylon, some initiates believed that it symbolizes power and power over the world. Therefore, it was possible to meet her on the rings and thrones of the rulers. Modern scientists believe that for them this sign represents the power of man, which extends to the four cardinal points.

The study of the pentagram by Pythagoras and the Pythagoreans

Pythagoras was the first who decided to study this symbol as a geometric figure. According to the ancient scholar, this is a perfect sign. Therefore, Pythagoras made him a secret symbol of his school, which has a philosophical and mathematical direction. Thanks to this sign, the Pythagoreans could recognize each other. They appreciated its unique property, which is expressed in the fact that the symbol can be easily depicted with a single stroke of the pen, without once taking your hand off the paper and without hooking on already drawn lines.

It is believed that the Pythagoreans began to accept the pentagram as a symbol of the entire earthly world. In their teaching, it was believed that the whole world consists of five elements, namely: Fire, Water, Air, Earth and Spirit. To reflect this doctrine symbolically, they began to write five letters around the pentagram:

ύ – water;
Γ - earth;
t - idea;
έ - fire;
ά is air.

This symbolism has become part of the worship of nature, the assignment of divine properties to it. This is how the modern pentagram appeared. The meaning of the sign lies in the personification of life and its manifestation in nature. Thus, this symbol smoothly turned from a sign that protects from evil spirits and evil, into a symbol of dominion and patronage. One of the ancient legends says that it was the students of the Pythagorean school who attributed the properties of power over the world to the pentagram. They believed that each element is very important. And the corners of the symbol are the embodiment of these elements, namely:

The lower left corner of the star signifies Earth, physical endurance and stability.
The lower right corner symbolizes Fire, courage and bravery.
The upper right corner means Water, this is a manifestation of intuition and emotions.
The upper left is considered the element of Air, it is responsible for art and intelligence.
And the highest point is a symbol of the Spirit, our spiritual Self.

What else did the ancient Pythagoreans associate the pentagram (star) with? The meaning of this symbol implied the presence of five shelters of primeval chaos, placed in Tartarus during the creation of the world. It was believed that darkness was hidden in these shelters, carrying the source of wisdom and the soul of the world. To depict this truth, the figure was turned over. It is believed that it was this inverted pentagram that became the progenitor of the first diabolical sign.

The meaning of the pentagram in Christian Europe

For Christians in Europe, the five-pointed star has also become an important symbol. The meaning of health, copied from the ancient world, remained, but the symbolic designation of the five senses, the fingers of man, was added to it. The pentagram was also given the meaning of the five wounds of Christ. Well, and a positive meaning - the five joys of His Mother Mary, which she experienced for the perfection of her own son.

One of the main meanings of the pentagram for Christians was the human nature of Jesus. With the advent of the Renaissance, the five-pointed star took on more importance. Looking at this symbol, you can see that it resembles a man with arms and legs spread to the side, which was depicted in his drawings by Leonardo da Vinci. When atheism and humanism began to develop, the pentagram became a symbol of the human personality as the new highest value of the coming era.

The meaning of the pentagram in numerology and magic

If we consider numerology and magic, then there are two meanings for the pentagram. The first, for an ordinary figure, is a person, the second, for an inverted one, is the Goat of Mendes. The latter carries an occult, diabolical meaning. This sign is the main symbol of Satanism, it is commonly called the sign of Baphomet. This inverted pentagram had a negative meaning, since a goat's head was inscribed in it.

This symbol has been a registered trademark since 1983. The sign of Baphomet, or the pentagram of the devil, whose meaning is negative, belongs to the world's largest satanic organization, which is officially registered and is called the Church of Satan. This pentagram is a symbol of Tartarus, Hell - the place where fallen angels are imprisoned. The sign looks like a distorted person who has no head, since there is no top on the figure. Here the physical universe is considered the lower world, it is indicated by the lower point.

Pentagram in Chinese symbols

In the main category of Chinese philosophy Wu-hsing also lies the pentagram. The meaning of the symbol indicates the main parameters of the universe. If we carefully study this philosophical trend, we will find out that the figure is two cycles that interact with each other:

Mutual generation. Wood produces Fire, Fire produces Earth, Earth produces Metal, Metal produces Water, and Water produces Wood.
Mutual overcoming. The tree is able to defeat the Earth, the Earth - Water, Water - Fire, Fire - Metal, Metal - Wood.

Pentagram as a magical symbol

In magic, there is a positive and negative image of this sign. The five-pointed star with the main top at the top is called the "Druid's Foot" and is considered a symbol of white magic. The inverted sign is called the Goat's Hoof, or the Devil's Horns. The article presents this pentagram (photo), its meaning for black magic is also disclosed.

White magicians associate this sign with the dominance of discipline over world processes. Black magicians, in turn, consider such a symbol to be destructive, contrary to the fulfillment of spiritual tasks. It is because of this that the sign is attributed to evil.

Pentagram as a symbol of a perfect person

The five-pointed star is also symbolized as a perfect man, since it reflects both his physical essence and spiritual. Thus, the ends of the star are credited with the meaning of love, wisdom, truth, kindness and justice. All of them are directly related to the soul, intellect, spirit, heart and will, respectively. It is worth noting that the pentagram was also used at the court of King Arthur. The knights who wore this symbol gave the star its own meaning, namely: each facet of the symbol meant nobility, chastity, politeness, courage and piety. It was because of these properties that the sign was used by the secret order of the Templars.

double pentagram

There is also a double pentagram, where a person is inscribed in it in accordance with his harmony with the elements and ether, namely: the will is combined with the earth, the heart with water, the intellect with air, the soul with fire, and the spirit with ether.

This symbol indicates that a person lives in the Universe, harmoniously fitting into it and fulfilling his destiny. The symbol of the double pentagram is still used in charms and amulets throughout the world. It helps the owner to find harmony with himself and those around him, to know his path and follow it without losing his way.

The use of the pentagram in the modern world

Despite the fact that this symbol has been around for many centuries, it is still used by modern people. The most common use of the pentagram in modern times has been the creation of protective amulets and amulets. Moreover, the duality of this symbol has remained to this day. Thus, in the market you can buy a symbol of evil and destruction - an inverted star.

The pentagram in the circle has a positive meaning - a light protective amulet. It is believed that he is able to create a shield on the mental and astral levels and protect a person from the influence of lower beings living beyond the material world. If you are looking for protection, then the pentagram "star in a circle" will suit you. Its meaning is the protection of the owner. This is exactly what modern man needs. In addition, such a sign protects against negative influences from other people and is able to repel any energy attack.

So, we have considered almost all types of pentagrams and their meaning. From this we can conclude that such a symbol is the most ancient and combines a lot of knowledge and beliefs.

What does the five-pointed star mean and where did it come from in Soviet symbols?

Who proposed and why to use the five-pointed star as a symbol of Soviet power, and then the USSR (on the flag and coat of arms), as well as for all law enforcement agencies.
Why is the use of the five-pointed star as a symbol among different peoples in different countries at different times so similar?
For example, the symbol of a five-pointed star is used not only in the Russian army, but also in the American one. The five-pointed star was a symbol of the rulers of Babylon, then it was used as a symbol by Christians and even by Freemasons.

luna luna

The five-pointed star, or "pentacle", has been known since ancient times - primitive people, as well as representatives of the earliest civilizations in the territories of modern Turkey, Greece, Iran and Iraq, used it as a symbol of protection, protection and security in their totems and ritual drawings. It was also a revered emblem among the Japanese and American Indians. Among the Saami of Russian Lapland, the five-pointed star was considered a universal amulet protecting deer - the basis of the lifestyle of most northerners. In North Karelia, back in the middle of the 19th century, the fact of honoring the five-pointed star by Karelian hunters was attested. Having stumbled upon a connecting rod bear in the winter forest, the hunter quickly drew three five-pointed stars in a row on the snow and retreated behind them. It was believed that the bear would not be able to cross this line.
Archaeologists suggest that at the dawn of civilization, they tried to symbolically depict the heraldic figure of the Big Bird, which supposedly created the world with a spit from its beak. The pentacle was presented to our ancestors as consisting of five triangles - signs of the Eternal Sky, where the Gods live. The number five is generally symbolic: after all, there are five fingers on our hands and feet. From our torso "stick out" five processes - two arms, two legs and a head. In the drawing of the genius Leonardo da Vinci, the “ideal” person, having widely spaced them to the sides, himself resembles a five-pointed star. And later people learned that the planet itself consists of five main continents.
The ancients noticed this phenomenon and were so shocked that Venus and her pentacle became symbols of love and beauty. That is why the ancient Greeks held the Olympic Games every eight years, and centuries later, during the revival of the Olympic movement, the five-pointed star almost became their main symbol - at the very last moment, under pressure from the Church, it was replaced with five rings, since the priests considered the five-pointed star a symbol paganism and, to put it mildly, "did not favor".
In the Middle Ages, the inverted five-pointed star acquired a different meaning: evil and sinister - it resembled the muzzle of a horned goat used in the rituals of witches and sorcerers, or even the mask of Satan himself. Moreover, such "witch" stars were red - since ancient times, red has symbolized not only beauty, but also rebellion, revolution, independence - with a willingness to shed blood for all this. Psychologists note that red is the most aggressive color. It always catches the eye, it seems visually closer. The red color in clothes is also a kind of indicator of “energy consumption”: they say that a woman in red is easier to seduce. As a result, the five-pointed red star became a symbol of the elements, in which either the “new order” challenging the old world or complete chaos were to be born, depending on where its rays were looking.
However, in Russia, until 1917, five-pointed stars as a symbol were used infrequently - as a top on New Year trees or decorations on wrapping paper for gifts, occasionally on embroideries of peasant towels. Even at the turn of the 20th century, small five-pointed stars appeared on the shoulder straps of Russian officers. But the Bolsheviks who came to power, destroying the old world “to the foundation”, urgently needed new symbols - and here the red pentacle came in handy more than ever!
According to some sources, in the first spring of 1918, the military commissar of the Moscow Military District, Nikolai Polyansky, proposed introducing a five-pointed star as a distinctive sign of the Red Army. According to others, the “father” of our five-pointed star was Konstantin Yeremeev, the first Soviet commander of the troops of the Petrograd Military District, chairman of the Commission for the Formation of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army. And finally she was "adopted" by one of the Bolshevik leaders of the Bolsheviks - Leon Trotsky.

to be honest, I don’t know where it comes from, but it seems to me that it’s like the solar plexus is drawn, and that is, it seems to me that on the one hand it’s a person :) I think this is a kind of symbol of Life .. . but that's just my imagination :)

Star of Solomon. What does it mean, no one knows. Golden ratio and other crap. Like symmetry in everything, a symbol of pseudo-perfection, a symbol of materialism in Masonic symbolism. Satanic sign, when viewed from the point of view of the Orthodox Church. On the bucks of these stars, there are generally 13 pieces. They think of Blavatsky as having introduced this symbolism into dollars, and she gave Hitler a swastika. She then one amerikos lemon bucks and bequeathed the house.

The oldest symbol is a perfect person who owns all five senses.
Find an image of the Vitruvian Man by Leonard da Vinci - also a five-pointed star, a holistic person
In the USSR, the meaning was adjusted to the international - 5 continents

For the first time, in the spring of 1918, the military commissar of the Moscow Military District, N. Polyansky, proposed introducing a new symbol, the red star, as a distinctive sign of the military personnel of the first units of the Red Army. According to other sources, the emblem was proposed by the All-Russian Collegium for the Organization and Formation of the Red Army, formed on December 20, 1917, and in particular, the actual creator of this emblem was K. Yeremeev, the first Soviet commander of the troops of the Petrograd Military District, chairman of the Commission for the formation of the Red Army.
The choice of this emblem for the Red Army was explained by the following reasons. Firstly, its shape was a pentagram, that is, the oldest symbol of a talisman, defense.
Firstly, the red color symbolized the revolution, the revolutionary army. Naturally, the very concept of a star as a symbol of striving for high ideals also mattered when choosing this emblem. The crossed plow and hammer are the emblem of the unity of workers and peasants. Accordingly, the five-pointed star was also placed on other insignia of the Red Army - sleeve insignia. Since 1923, the symbol of the five-pointed star began to be used in the coat of arms of the USSR as a badge (a type of figured motto denoting a certain individuality; a sign inherent only in an individual object - a region, a dynasty, a person) - as a figured addition to the motto "Proletarians of all countries, unite!" , therefore, such a red star began to be considered the emblem of international solidarity of workers. True, the working people of other countries themselves hardly suspected this.
As a result of the fact that the five-pointed, red star with a hammer and sickle was already the official military insignia and emblem of the Red Army, it was understood that this symbol also had a place in the award system and should be placed on insignia. By the way, on the very first Soviet Order of the Red Banner, established on September 16, 1918, a five-pointed star turned upside down immediately catches the eye. Not only in meaning, as mentioned above, but also in terms of the artistic construction of the composition, this order is not very successful, although it was awarded for special bravery and courage shown in battles against the enemies of Soviet power, while defending the socialist Fatherland.
Returning to the five-pointed star, we can state with confidence that this symbol is not related to the entire history of Russia, but belongs only to a small part of it - the history of Soviet Russia. Yes, five-pointed stars were present on shoulder straps and in the tsarist army, but only as a badge of distinction according to ranks (military ranks); stars appeared on shoulder straps only at the end of the 19th - beginning of the 20th century.

Anya Zalushko

A star with five ends is a man with spread arms, check it fits easily (I want to joke that since he was in Budyonovka, God himself ordered this symbol to be placed on the flag of the USSR), in turn, in an inverted position, this is a goat, that is, Satan. In Soviet symbolism, she, the star, appeared because the red top was seriously fascinated by mysticism.

In 1918, as the emblem of the regular Red Army, he proposed
K. S. Eremeev, the first commander of the troops of the Petrograd Military District.
The five sharp corners of the five-pointed star mean: control over finances, the media, the Jewish brotherhood, Palestine, control over the masses, and the sixth point will be the conquest of the world - the coming of the Messiah (from Jewish symbolism - the star of David).

Azat nigamatullin

Judging by the fact that I managed to recognize the five-pointed star, or the pentacle is a symbol of the perfection of progress towards knowledge, knowledge of the world. The lower 4 ends mean 4 elements, 4 elements; it is fire, water, earth, air. 4 energies that unite into 5 element, ether or spirit. In Taoist practices, the highest degree of enlightenment is the connection of 4 energies with the highest human spirit. As a result of this, a person comes to enlightenment, knowledge, a connection with the universe opens. Simply put, any abilities open up. Also, the pentacle is associated with human feelings. 5 senses that serve us in this material world. Accordingly, the 6th sense is already a magical aspect. Based on the foregoing, we can conclude that the pentacle is a symbol that helps a person in moving towards spiritual development. Having balanced and taken control of all 5 senses, or 5 elements within oneself, a person comes to a spiritual transformation, which in turn opens the way for him to the secrets of the universe.

Cut the apple (the fruit of knowledge) across. A five-pointed star will be visible on the cut. If a circle of arbitrary radius is divided into five equal parts, we get the second radius. Using these two radii, you can build a DNA helix and a six-pointed star with a Necker cube in the center. You can also draw a diagram of the hydrogen atom.

What is the five-pointed star a symbol of?

What actually represents such a symbol as a five-pointed star? In general, any image of a star is one of the oldest symbols of mankind, adopted in the heraldry of all peoples. The star as a concept initially served as a symbol of eternity, later it became a symbol of high aspirations and ideals. It is also used in our time as an emblem of guiding (the so-called "Rose of the Winds"), happiness ("to be born under a lucky star").

Stars in heraldry and emblems differ both in the number of rays forming them and in color. The combination of both gives different semantic and national meanings for each star.

The five-pointed star (pentagram; star turned "head", i.e. one of the rays up) is the oldest symbol of protection, protection, security. It is of oriental origin.

Paracelsus said: “Man is a small world within a large universe. The microcosm within the macrocosm is like a fetus in a mother's womb: by its three main principles it is connected with the womb of the universe.

What is said is indicated by a five-pointed star within a six-pointed one. The tops of the five-pointed star symbolize the five-membered man. Five radiant rays emanate from the head, two outstretched arms and two legs. The greatest magnetic force comes from these members.

The Chaldean magicians and cabalists considered the pentagram to be a powerful tool of magic.

Sometimes the pentagram is used in treatment. However, the one who thinks that he heals a sign, and by applying it to a sore spot, hopes to be cured, is mistaken. But the will of man and the passes in the form of a pentagram can help.

The star is a symbol of the five human feelings, symbolized by five rays of different colors. Each color corresponds to a certain sound, as well as a number, metal, planet, day of the week, etc. These aspects have many meanings and purposes, so it is easy to imagine how complex and meaningful any symbol of the Universal Teaching of Shambhala is. If we talk about color, then it can change when vibrations change (every thought and feeling is a vibration).

Take at least one of the rays - yellow. The yellow fire flares up if we develop a striving for the highest, for self-denial. The more a person is spiritually transformed, the more the Yellow Fire acquires a reddish hue and gradually becomes Red.

The star is also an Egyptian hieroglyph meaning "blissful, enlightened spirit." The ancient Egyptians believed that high spirits ascended into the sky as stars to shine in the night for people, and during the day, together with the Sun God Ra, float across the sky. The star is the Egyptian number 5, meaning justice and order in the universe.

And vice versa, a five-pointed star, turned with one beam down and two up, acquires an ominous, bad meaning - in Western Europe, for example, from ancient times it was customary to consider this inverted star as a sign of the devil.

The fact is that in Western European magical tracts, the pentagram was also revered as a figure depicting the human body: two legs are a symbol of earth and water, two hands are a symbol of air and fire, and the head (one ray looking up) is the force of ether that unites all members.

Some believe that the original pentagram appeared about four thousand years ago in Mesopotamia, probably as an astronomical diagram of the movement of the planet Venus. The Babylonians also used this symbol as a magical talisman. The pentagram became the Sumerian and Egyptian sign of the stars. In later symbolism, the pentagram became a symbol of the victory of the spiritual over the materialistic, a symbol of security and protection. The pentagram was everywhere recognized as protection against demons. Latin and Kabbalistic monograms were often made in the form of a talisman pentacle inscribed in a protective circle. Celtic priests called the pentagram "witch's foot". In the Middle Ages, the pentagram was considered the "cross of the brownie."

The pentagram was widely known as a sign protecting from all evil; faith in its protective properties was so deep that in ancient Babylon it was depicted on the doors of shops and warehouses to protect goods from damage and theft. She was also a powerful sign of power of the initiates. So in the same Babylon, for example, this sign is often found on royal seals, and, according to modern scientists, it personified "the power of the ruler, which extended to all four cardinal points".

The Jews associated the pentagram with their sacred Pentateuch, received by Moses from God. The ancient Greeks called the pentagram Pentalph, which means "five alpha letters", since the symbol can be decomposed into alpha five times. For early Christians, the pentagram was a reminder of the five wounds of Christ: from the crown of thorns on the forehead, from the nails in the hands and feet.

The pentagram was used by the Pythagoreans as a distinctive sign of belonging to their community. They taught that the world consists of five interconnected elements (Fire, Water, Air, Earth and Ether). To reflect this doctrine, five letters were depicted around the pentagram:

Chinese Five Elements Pentagram (Wu Xing)
ύ - ύδωρ, symbolizing water;
Γ - Γαια, symbolizing the earth;
ί - ίδέα, symbolizing the idea, according to another version - ίερόν (temple);
έ - έιλή, symbolizing fire;
ά - άήρ, symbolizing air.

The pentagram is also found on the talismans of the Gnostics, as a symbol of intellectual omnipotence.

According to the well-known Kabbalah researcher Gershom Scholem, the magicians of medieval Europe learned about the pentagram under the name of the "seal of King Solomon" from Arabic manuscripts.
The pentagram was also among the symbols of the Templars. The Roman emperor Constantine I included the pentagram in his seal and his amulet, because he considered that thanks to it he found the true faith and converted to Christianity. An English warrior, Sir Gowane, nephew of King Arthur, used a pentagram as a personal symbol and placed it on his shield in gold on a red background. The five sharp ends of the star symbolized the five knightly virtues - "nobility, politeness, chastity, courage and piety". In the 19th century, the pentagram appeared on Tarot cards after they became associated with Kabbalah.

The festive procession of the pentagram ended during the time of the Inquisition, when hundreds of thousands of innocent people were burned at the stake. The thousand-year-old national symbol of protection - the pentagram, was turned into evil. She was given a new name "Witch's Foot". For many millennia, the pentagram personified a symbol of goodness and light. And in just 500 years, it turned into a symbol of evil.

Eight-pointed star - symbol meaning

The symbol of the number of rays is the endless circular motions of energy in space -. Eastern philosophy explains the merging of two crosses as the law of karma, which represents the seven incarnations of the human soul, and the eighth ray is getting into paradise. An octogram in the form of a "star" symbol with eight rays has a different meaning:

in Orthodoxy;
among the Slavs;
