The five pointed Pentagram is thought to have originated more than 2,500 years ago as a symbol of the Goddess Kore, who was worshipped from present-day England to Egypt and beyond. The sacred fruit of Kore is held to be an apple, which when cut in half reveals a five pointed star.

Within Paganism, the Pentagram symbolises the four elements of earth, air, fire, and water, with the upright point representing Spirit.

Within Satanism the inverted Pentagram symbolises beast (man's baseness) over the four earthly elements.

Within ceremonial Magick, the inverted Pentagram represents the physical world ruling over the spiritual.
