I'm giving one answer... and it I am not claiming that it is a definitive answer.
I have encountered Pagans who believe that spirits often reside behind mirrors. I am racking my brain right now to think of what culture this stems from. The general theory is, that the spirits of the deceased can inhabit the space behind a mirror. Keeping a pentagram behind a mirror is a way to ward off evil spirits - or in some cases, spirits altogether.
Again, this may not be the most prevalent answer - or even the most relevant to your question. However, this is one reason, which I have encountered, as to why one might place a pentagram behind a mirror.
What else can I help you with?

Why is a star not a star shape?
The correct term for a "star shape" would be a pentagram, for 5 pointed ones, hexagram for 6, and etc etc. I suppose it was nicknamed the "star" because of its points that streak out similar to a star.
Would the reflected image from a concave mirror be brighter or darker than the original image?
It would depend on the distance of the object from the mirror. If the object is close to the mirror, the reflected image may appear brighter due to magnification. However, if the object is far from the mirror, the reflected image may appear darker due to spread out light rays.

What would happen if a glass plate is replaced by a plane mirror?
If a glass plate is replaced by a plane mirror, the mirror will reflect an image of the objects in front of it. The mirror will not refract light like the glass plate would, and the reflected image will appear to be at the same distance behind the mirror as the object is in front of it.
What would a mirror image of 45 degrees look like?
A mirror image of 45 degrees would appear as its reflection across a vertical line. The angle would still measure 45 degrees, but it would be flipped horizontally.
How come when you look in the mirrior you get different reflection sometimes in skinny average or fat?
Your reflection is based on the shape the mirror is.Example:If the mirror was bent outwards the reflected image would appear wider.If the mirror was bent inwards the reflected image would appear thinner.Usually you can commonly find mirrors like these in fun houses, and can be found in various shapes such as cones etc.
How will the word PHISICS appear in the plane mirror?
In a plane mirror, the word "PHISICS" will appear as "SCISIHP" due to the parallel reflection of each letter. It will be a mirror image where left and right are reversed, but the orientation stays the same.
What does mirror image mean in art?

How would the eye perceive an image created by a concave mirror and by a convex mirror?
The image formed by a concave mirror can be real or virtual, depending on the object's position relative to the mirror. A real image is formed in front of the mirror and can be projected onto a screen, while a virtual image is formed behind the mirror and cannot be projected. Conversely, a convex mirror always produces a virtual, upright, smaller image of the object. The image appears closer to the mirror than the actual object and does not form a focused point.
What are young virgins said to see if they light a candle and look in the mirror on Halloween?
