At first I recognized it as the pagan star. But it is also the symbol on the Moroccan flag, which is in no way a pagan country.

Well its one of the symbols of my Pagan practice and for me it represents Earth, Air, Fire, Water and Spirit and the circle surrounding the star represents the Everything and our connection to it..

it's a pentacle it's a symbol that's been used by pretty much every religion to mean something. the closest meaning for me is that it has five points, each representing one of the five elements. Earth, Air, Fire, Water and Spirit. sometimes it is used to represent the male form. you have it there in a circle, which makes it a pentacle rather than a pentagram. which to me represents a more ritualised form of my path than I follow myself. the pentagram I wear is uncircled. much as my practice doesn't take place within a circle. to me the Pentacle is more of a ritual magic connection than the pentagram, which feels like it represents something less formalised and constrained. there's a cathedral near where I live that has one as the centre of it's main glass window. I believe they use it to represent the five wounds of their saviour.

to be honest this just reminds me of how i draw stars when i am writing or marking something i want to watch in the tv guide. sorry, this is probably not the kind of respond i think you are looking for. i am really responding because i am interested in the responses this discussion gets and i want to keep track of it.

This Silver Pentagram does not mean anything to me. However, I know a little background about it. I am fascinated with pagan symbols and I love reading including novels and books that people find taboo. I love history and learning everything about other people and their beliefs. As far as I know, this Silver Pentagram is a pagan symbol of the five elements and the eternal circle. I don't know why but it reminds me also of the Vitruvius Man by Leonardo Da Vinci.

Hello shutupandbuyit, Its a pentagram. As for the meanings it has in different religions there inst one religion that doesn't have it included in some abstract or formal way. It has meaning in astronomical sense that its used as a symbol for the planet Venus. Its use is older than most known religions you can find it in Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Buddhism and Hinduism. Not to be confused with a hexagram which represents Saturn and is also found in the same religions. Today its found everywhere inside masonic lodges and buildings, the medal of honor, ancient hieroglyphics, Mayan artifacts, street layout of Washington D.C. As for what it means to me personally I don't see it as anything important. Objects only have the power you give them. As for what it means for others that's another story all together. Some see geometric shapes as the divine order and think it gives them power to do the things they want. But that just could be because I been doing some research on Masonic/Illuminati practices lately. By the way I am of the Christian faith.

It comes closer to reminding me of a policeman's badge than a religious symbol.

Hiya shutupandbuyit, Silver pentagram is supposed to give love and protection. However I have just read so many meanings that I don´t really think fit in with this lovely pentagram. It reminds me of the Star of David but I don´t think that´s the right one either. It´s just that someone gave me one once something similar to that and said it was the Star of David. Faith I practice is neither one or the Other I just believe in God and that´s it. I´m not in the Anglican or Catholic really because I got married Catholic Church but I have´nt completed all what you are supposed to complete you know baptism, communion and all that. Anyway that´s what they told me so I keep my Anglican Baptism because I don´t feel like getting baptised anywhere else anyway. My Catholic marriage stays that way and that´s it. I please myself in other words what I want to believe, I believe in love, kindness, being thoughtful what more do I need?

Actually this symbols reminds me of my favorite show. The Charmed. The story is about three chosen witches who happened to be sisters, who fight for the good and rescues man kind. And I find the symbol cute, no offense for those people who uses this symbol and for those who treat is as sacred.

If it was flipped upside down it would remind me of the video game Doom, or the official Church of Satan's sigil... not that I'm predisposed to a negative reaction to it, as I'm aware of many things this represents, but it's just something that crosses my mind. Other than that, the looping, Celtic design of the star reminds me of symbols for infinity, such as the Orobouros of Leviathan... a God and symbol that is perceived differently by many cultures, historically, as well.

While I do think Pagan and the practice of magic(k), I spent several months in Texas, where the circled star is everywhere you turn. A great source of amusement to me at the time, the experience still added a fresh layer of meaning to this ancient symbol for me.
