Inverted Pentagram

The pentagram is a five-pointed star that is a symbol of man with his five limbs and five sensory organs. It also represents PentagramPHI or the Golden Rule of the Universal Law in which all nature and humans must live by to evolve. The pentagram is also used in both white and black magic to invoke light energy (angels and saints) or dark energy (devils and demons). Think of it as a symbol in the occult (hidden) world that represents both, an enter and an exit door for the spirit and astral world in which we cannot normally see with our own two eyes.

Not all magicians or adepts use the symbol of the pentagram in the same way and there are two main types such as the above image that are mainly used in the occult world. The upright and proper pentagram, with one point in the air or pointed upwards and with the two points downward represents spirit over matter, such as the image below that shows the various elements of the five points represented in spirit, air, fire, water, and earth. This is the pentagram used in white magic to give the magician noble powers.

The Pentagram

pentagram

The sign of the Pentagram represents the macrocosm of the number five, and numerical equation of PHI in the union of the AS ABOVE and SO BELOW. The AS ABOVE consists of the air, stars, heavens and spiritual world, with the SO BELOW which is made of the earth, water and fire, to then form the AS WITHIN, SO WITHOUT in the DNA and mind of man. To put it simply, we humans are fallen stars and to earn our place in the heavens, we must shine brightly and upright while living on earth.

Our fall from grace and the light is represented in Isaiah 14:12 – How you have fallen from heaven, morning star, son of the dawn! You have been cast down to the earth, you who once laid low the nations!

The upright pentagram (not inverted), such as the one pictured (to the above right and below left), is a symbol of the spiritual man who has dominion over the animal world (SO BELOW) with the five limbs and sensory organs that are represented by the symbolism of the 5 pointed pentagram. This spiritual man would be akin to the allegorical Jesus Christ or Buddha, who are symbolic of highly spiritual people who have complete dominion over the animal world and their animal bodies or passions. They are the fallen stars from the heavens who then become blazing morning stars of the dawn that illuminate the dark waters of the abyss (humanity, earth or society) through their wise teachings. They are living examples of truth, and how we should all live in love, humility and service to others.

The light of these stars can be found in the biblical passage of Peter 1:19 who had said, “We also have the prophetic message as something completely reliable, and you will do well to pay attention to it, as to a light shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts.

“Let us keep the figure of the Five-pointed Star always upright, with the topmost triangle pointing to heaven, for it is the seat of wisdom, and if the figure is reversed, perversion and evil will be the result.” – Hartmann, Franz (1895) [1886]. Magic, White and Black (5th ed.). (more…)
