Correct and incorrect pentagram: the meaning of the sign of Baphomet

The pentagram, the value of which we are to clarify in this article, is, first of all, the pentagon. On each of its five rays are located equal in height triangles. In a broad sense, this is the most ordinary five-pointed star. She is easily portrayed even by a six-year-old child. However, everything would be simple, if not one but ... The asterisk, then ours is of two kinds: correct and inverted! It seems, here "smacks of devilry," is not it? Let's find out what the variations of its image mean.

Pentagram: the meaning of a symbol

This is one of the most ancient symbols. Most often it can be found in archaeological sites. The first mention of it as a symbol, dates back to the 7th millennium BC! What exactly does the five-pointed pentagram tell us? The meaning of this symbol in different epochs and in different peoples has its own. But why exactly is the number 5? The fact is that this number bore (and carries) a special significance in people's lives. For example, we have five fingers and five senses ... However, this is not the main thing.

Ancient Sumerians, Indians and Pythagoras

The Pentagram, whose significance as a symbol is known to every nation of the world, was in great demand among the ancient Sumerians, Babylonians, Celts, Persians, Egyptians and northern Native Americans (Indians). It is interesting that the philosopher and scientist Pythagoras became interested in this symbol as a geometric figure. He said that this is a symbol of perfection, and made the pentagram a distinctive sign of his school of philosophical and mathematical sciences.

Different peoples have drawn these signs in their own way. For example, there are at least ten ways to represent a five-pointed star in a circle. As already mentioned above, the pentagram is the simplest form of a star with five ends, which can be easily depicted with one stroke of a pencil, without lifting it from a sheet of paper. Adherents of the occultism divide the pentagrams into creative and destructive. The first are drawn in the clockwise direction, while the latter are drawn against its direction. Such pentagrams and their meanings, of course, are diametrically opposed. What does it mean?

The symbol of man

The fact is that in such sciences as numerology and magic, the right pentagram (from above one beam, from the bottom - two) is considered a symbol of man. In such a five-pointed star, a man is drawn with arms and legs spread out to the side.

The Symbol of Satan

The wrong pentagram (two beams from above, one from below) is the symbol of the Devil and all the satanists of the world. In an inverted star, a goat's head is drawn. Each of its rays is its own element: Fire, Water, Air, Earth, Spirit. Next, let's talk about the pentagram of the Devil.

Inverted pentagram: the meaning of "Goat Mendes"

In the traditional sense, the "Goat of Mendes" or the inverted pentagram is the most occult of all images that ever existed. In another way, this is called the sign of Baphomet. This is the most important symbol of Satanism. Since 1966 this sign has become official. The fact is that it was at this time that the church of Satan was founded, the symbol of which is the sign of Baphomet. Such, if I may say so, "church" is an official world organization.
