The Pagan Pentegram

EARTH (Lower left-hand corner)

FIRE (Lower right-hand corner)

WATER (Upper right hand corner)

AIR (Upper left hand corner)

Surmounted by SPIRIT at the topmost point.

This becomes a graphic portrayal of Spirit ruling over four elements and when the Pentagram placed within a Circle (a symbol of eternity and totality or unity) its energy is focused and directed.

The inverted Pentagram, with the single point buried in the depths of matter, has for many centuries been misinterpreted by the ignorant and those of ill intent as emblematic of the powers of evil and darkness. However, to the true student of symbolical philosophy, it represents Spirit submerged and bonded into the material elements. While the inverted Pentagram is representative of Spirit's descent into matter, the Pentagram aright, to those of Spiritual Perception, represents the redemption of Spirit from matter by ruling over it.
