The Pentagram is recognized all around the world and is seriously misunderstood.  It is a generalized symbol associated with Satan, which is incorrect.  The Pentagram is derived from the Greek words “pente” which means five and “gramme” which means line.  The pentagram is a triple triangle that forms an interior pentagon.   This five-pointed star has been used in ancient China and Japan to symbolize the five elements of life:  Fire, Earth, Metal, Water and Wood and they believed it to have magical properties.  Early Christians used the pentagram as a representation of the Star of Bethlehem and represented harmony, peace and health.  Somehow it has evolved into a symbol of Satan worship.   Exploring the history of the pentagram it dates back to 3500 BC in Mesopotamia found inscribed on pottery and various artifacts.  The Hebrews used the pentagram to represent truth and the Pentateuch which is the first five books of the Hebrew Scriptures.  The Pythagoreans of ancient Greece focused on the mathematical purity of the symbol and held the pentagram as their symbol of perfection.  In ancient Babylonia the pentagram was used to represent the various gods and different religious beliefs of Babylonian culture.
