Five pointed Star

Five pointed Star

This star can be found in many national flags, and has been important to almost every ancient culture, from the Mayans to India (Ayurveda), China (Wu Xing), Greece, and M-East.


It has been found scratched on the walls of Neolithic caves, and in Babylonian drawings, often as pentagrams, which are pentagons plus their 5 diagonals (the 5 pointed star), or as a pentacle, which is a circumscribed star.

According to the Greek mathematician and philosopher Pythagoras, 5 was the number of man, because of the 5-fold division of the body, such as the fingers and toes. The 5 points of the pentagram represent the 5 elements that make up man: fire, water, air, earth, and psyche or spirit.

This particular symbolism has more or less persisted for millennia throughout the world, and has greatly influenced the belief systems of many diverse traditions.

During a solar eclipse, our Moon eclipses the Sun, thus the energies & info from larger planets like Jupiter reflected by our moon towards Earth distort the frequencies of certain waves of info coming to us via our sun; thus Jesus spoke:


Luke 20:20-26: Jesus said:
“Show me a denarius. Whose image and inscription are on it?”
“Caesar’s,” they replied. He said to them:
“Then give back to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God.”

Celestial symbols were already in use 6000 years ago by the peoples of Ethiopia, Sumer, Central Asia and Siberia. Lateron, the Ottoman empire adopted the ‘crescent moon + star‘ and so they became the main symbols of Islam.

The Greek city of Byzantium (Constantinople in 330 CE, and Istanbul after 1453) adopted this symbol on its coinage. In 340 BCE, when Philip of Macedon (father of Alexander the Great) besieged Byzantium, the appearance of a sudden light in the sky warned the defenders in time to prevent a surprise night attack on the walls.

In gratitude to the lunar goddess Hecate, the city placed a star and crescent on its local coinage. Many Roman emperors took astrology seriously. The first emperor, Augustus, is shown with the crescent symbol with one or more stars appears on the back (see above).

In the early Hebrew tradition, the pentagram represented the #5 sephiroth (Geburah) on the Tree of Life. It was also associated with the Pentateuch, the first five books of the Bible, and at that time considered to represent truth.


There are many connections between the pentagram and Christianity. It is in the name of the Christian holiday of Pentecost, the day the Christ Spirit descended on the apostles of Jesus. As such, it is one of many geometrical ‘proofs’ in the New Testament disguised as stories.

It was also used by the early Christians, called Gnostics. Also later on in the Arthurian Grail romances, which are Gnostic and kabalistic teachings disguised as tales of knightly quests.

The 12th century works of Robert de Boron describe a story of Joseph of Arimathea acquiring the chalice of the Last Supper to collect Christ’s blood upon his removal from the cross. Joseph was thrown in prison, where Christ visited him and explained the mysteries of this blessed cup. Upon his release Joseph gathered his friends, travelled west, and founded a dynasty of Grail keepers that included Perceval.

In Boron’s Merlin, the wizard Merlin created the Round Table, an imitation of the table of the Last Supper and of Joseph of Arimathea’s Holy Grail table. This unique table had 12 seats and 1 empty place, the seat of Judas, the only one who was fully enlightened by the Christ in the secrets of the cosmos. 

On Merlin’s round table, this seat was reserved for the knight who would eventually find the Grail. This knight was Perceval who took this seat and initiated the Grail quest.

The pentacle as a symbol of the feminine principle is clearly embodied by the rose. The small, 5 petal roses found in many gothic cathedral ornamentations represent pentagrams. Most of the cathedral’s artwork is a means of teaching the masses Christian morals through dramatic scenes of heaven and hell.

The current religious uses of the pentagram are by Wiccan, Neo-pagan, and Satanic groups. Its symbolic meaning is derived from 19th century occultism and ceremonial magic.

It also symbolizes the unity of the earth, Sun, Central Sun, and realm of spirit, with the vortex of the human heart:

In Freemasonry and related traditions, the pentagram is often referred to as the “blazing star”: Star of Bethlehem. It is also symbolic of the descent of the divine Christ Being into the world of matter, a remnant of Masonry’s ties with both the medieval Christian Kaballah and the hermetic tradition.

The 5-pointed star is the result of drawing all diagonals in a pentagon, which is drawn within a circle as follows.

Golden mean ratio:

red/green = green/blue = blue/magenta

If length of magenta line = 1, then:

  • length of blue line   = 1.618 = φ,
  • length of green line = 2.618 = φ²

This star includes both 3D (φ) and 4D (φ²) proportions.

It is therefore the main portal between 3D to 4D reality.
