Pentagram

Thank You Brysing. I never would have known that had you not posted it and enjoyed reding several articles online about it. :-)
However the true origins predate astronomy from my understanding. The five pointed star goes back over eight thousand years. It appears throughout nature. Starfish, Apple core, fingers on the hand having five points. There are sumarian pots with the pentacle on them. There are multiple origins stories.
Bottom line the Pentacle / Pentagram is one of the oldest symbols on Earth and represents the quest for knowledge, for truth, for oneness with the infinate and all that is it. It is a talisman for many but remains Heathen / Pagan / Mystical / Ancient in origin.

As to topic writers original question, someone once told me it was just decorative, a burning man friend while I lived in Nevada told me something about two celestial spheres (one outter and one inner) and a pagan friend when I lived in Florida told me it represents the physical self. Basically, I do not know but it appears to mean different things to different people just like the pentacle itself. I definately do not know the origins of the inner circle within the pentacle within the outer circle. I tried googling it and found that unhelpful so apologies I can not be more helpful.

You are correct,mindless.The symbol is extremely old. What I posted is not strictly true! Venus only "appears" to form a pentagram, at certain times, in relation to the Earth and the Sun.

Ah Thank you for clarifying it Brysing. :-)
