Wooden Pentagram

The pentagram is a five pointed star with a long and varied history, and its meaning changes depending on the culture, religion or magical tradition using it. In modern Western occultism, its five points are commonly associated with the five elements: Earth, Air, Fire, Water and Spirit.

When worn or displayed upright, with a single point facing upward, it is commonly interpreted as Spirit sitting above the four physical elements. Because of this, the upright pentagram is often associated with balance, protection, harmony between the elements and spiritual consciousness.

When reversed, with two points facing upward, its symbolism changes. Within some Western occult traditions it represents the physical or material world placed above Spirit, and can be connected with instinct, embodiment, descent, inversion and the more primal aspects of human nature. 

There is no single universal meaning attached to the pentagram, and its interpretation depends heavily on the tradition and intention behind its use.

Ways to use your wooden pentagram

Place it on your altar as a representation of the elements or as a protective symbol.

Use it beneath candles, spell jars, crystals or ritual objects as part of an altar arrangement.

Arrange candles, herbs or crystals around each of the five points during elemental or protective workings.

Use each point to represent Earth, Air, Fire, Water and Spirit during ritual.

Place it beneath an offering bowl, incense holder or other ritual object to create a dedicated focal point.

Display it upright or reversed depending on the symbolism and intention you personally work with.
