What does a star with a circle around it mean?

Answer 1

The Pentacle is often used in ceremonial magic as it blocks evil very effectively.

It's direction is North and it's energy is Female.

In the upward direction it is used for Protection, Blessing, Consecration, Meditation and Positive energy. In the downward direction it is used for Banishing and Binding.

The five points of the pentacle can be used to represent several things:

Five Senses
Human Body
Love, Wisdom, Power, Knowledge and Law
Earth, Air, Fire, Water and Spirit

In Tarot, the pentacle symbolises political action and intrigue.

In Christian terms, more specifically Mormonism, the Star represents "Heaven", and the Circle represents the Earth. Thus the star inside the circle is symbolic for "Heaven on Earth" and/or the flow of knowledge and power from Heaven to Earth. The symbol is also known as "Solomon's Seal", referring to King Solomon of the Old Testment who built the temple in Jerusalem.

If you are talking about the Pentacle - the Pagan religious symbol, its a representation of the human inside the ever present circle of life, who is holding his arms up to the sky, symbolizing the worship of the higher Spirit.
