The five-pointed star painted on the seal of archangel Metatron.
In the so-called small universe model (mannequin) drawn by medieval alchemists, the outer circle represents the universe, and a male figure is painted inside. The head, hands and feet correspond to the five corners of the five-pointed star, and the genitals are located at the center of the circle. Therefore, the warlock thinks that man's "small universe" (refer to the "tree of life" item) is dominated by five stars.
Because the five-pointed star can be drawn with one stroke, the ancients also believed that it could prevent the invasion of monsters. In the magic circle of mysticism, the circular magic circle is used to protect the magician himself, while the pentagram is used to seal the devil. The five intersections of its lines are considered to be the "doors" in the Pentagon in the middle of the five-pointed star that can seal the devil. Therefore, the church called the five-pointed star "the devil's coat of arms", "the witch's cross", "the wizard's star" and "the witch's foot", and even claimed that there was a five-pointed star behind Jinlu: Wolf Journey.
Slavic witches in Eastern Europe used this superstition to carry out medical witchcraft called "measuring five stars". This kind of witchcraft requires the patient to stand in a "small universe" posture (standing in a "big" shape), then tie a hemp rope around his ankle, connect it to his neck, then connect it to the other foot, and then connect it to the middle finger of his hands, and finally form a five-pointed star shape. After pretending to "measure", the witch lied to the patient about her illness, then cut the hemp rope with a dagger, took out one and lit it with fire, so that the patient could inhale the smoke from the burning. Finally, the witch scattered the ashes in the water and asked the patient to drink the water as medicine. This is basically the same as the tricks cheated by some witches of God and Korea now.
The inverted five-pointed star (with its pointed angle downward) is regarded by neo-Platonists as the symbol of the "God of the Five-pointed Star", representing four horned creatures (male goat, ram, bull and stag) and human beings, which originated from the theory of Indian Tantric, that is, the horn represents the "ability" of men and is the concrete expression of the "flower of knowing benefits" (refer to "six-pointed star"). The idol of the five-pointed star is called the devil Baffo by the church. Generally, it appears in the shape of a person, with the head of a male goat, both sexes (see "horn" below). It has a five-pointed star hanging on its head (hanging directly), which is the object of worship of the modern warlock group "Oriental Templar".
This is a passage from The Da Vinci Code.
The original meaning of the five-pointed star:
This is a pentagonal amulet in witchcraft, the earliest symbol in the world, used before 4000 BC. Symbols have different meanings in different environments. The Pentagon is mainly a pagan symbol, which is a symbol of nature worship before Christianity came into being. The ancients believed that the world consisted of two parts-half men and half women. This pentagon represents half of women-a religious historian calls it a "sacred woman" or a "sacred goddess". The most specific explanation is that the five-pointed star symbolizes Venus, representing women and beautiful goddesses. American horror movies clearly show that the five-pointed star is also related to demons, which is actually incorrect. Although the five-pointed star is interpreted as a demon as seen in the movie, from a historical perspective, its original female meaning is correct. But for a thousand years, the symbolic meaning of the five-pointed star has been distorted. The symbol is very flexible, and the meaning of the five-pointed star symbol was changed by the early Roman Catholic Church. As part of the Vatican's campaign to eliminate paganism and convert the public to Christianity, the Catholic Church launched a campaign to vilify pagan gods and goddesses and reinterpret their sacred symbols as evil symbols. This phenomenon is also common in troubled times. A new force will replace the existing symbols, belittle them for a long time, and attempt to completely erase their meaning. In the struggle between pagan symbols and Christian symbols, the pagans lost. Poseidon's trident became the devil's pitchfork, the conical pointed hat symbolizing wisdom became the witch's symbol, and Venus's five-pointed star became the evil symbol. Unfortunately, the military also misinterpreted the five-pointed star, and now it has become the most important symbol of war. Paint it on fighter planes and hang it on the shoulders of generals.
On the other hand, we have to admit that the five-pointed star is the simplest and most perfect geometric pattern.
■ In ancient Greece, people used a pattern of a "big" bodybuilding man standing on a five-pointed star in a big circle to represent the perfection of the human body, which was also the "golden ratio" in the minds of artists at that time.
Many mathematicians, geometricians and philosophers at all times and all over the world have proved its perfection in their own way!
Not only the armies of all countries like to use the five-pointed star, but also there are many five-pointed stars on the national flags of all countries. For example, there are five yellow five-pointed stars on the national flag of China; There are 50 white five-pointed stars on the American flag.
