what you know about symbol in the circle pentagram paganisme?

Answer 1

It's a very old and sacred symbol.
The circle symbolizes infinity (there are an infinite number of points on a circle), completeness, wholeness, fullness, and the Earth. Every kind of star is sacred. A five pointed star was adopted by the US government to represent each state, as a medal for bravery, and as a logo for the Air Force. Stars represent celestial (heavenly) influence, and 5 is the number of humanity: We have 5 digits on each hand and foot, we have a head and four limbs, and there are 5 kingdoms of life: Monera,
Protista, Fungi, Plantae, and Animalia.
In Arthurian legend the pentagram represented the 5 sorrows of Mary, the 5 wounds of Christ, and in earlier paganism represented the 5 phases of life, to wit birth, growth, maturity, senesence and death.

Answer 2

Many Neopagans, especially Wiccans, use the pentagram as a symbol of faith similar to the Christian cross or the Jewish Star of David. (It is not, however, a universal symbol for Neopaganism, and is rarely used by Reconstructionists.) Its religious symbolism is commonly explained by reference to the neo-Pythagorean understanding that the five vertices of the pentagram represent the four elements with the addition of Spirit as the uppermost point. As a representation of the elements, the pentagram is involved in the Wiccan practice of summoning the elemental spirits of the four directions at the beginning of a ritual.

The outer circle of the circumscribed pentagram is sometimes interpreted as binding the elements together or bringing them into harmony. The Neopagan pentagram is generally displayed with one point up, partly because of the "inverted" pentagram's association with Satanism, however within traditional forms of Wicca the inverted pentagram is associated with the Second Degree Initiation and in this context has no relation to Satanism.
