A five-pointed star, often referred to as a pentagram, is a geometric shape consisting of five straight points connected by lines. It is commonly recognized for its symmetrical design and is often drawn with one continuous line. The five-pointed star is frequently used in various cultures and contexts, including art, architecture, and symbolism. In many traditions, the five-pointed star represents different elements or concepts. For example, in Wicca, it symbolizes the five elements: earth, air, fire, water, and spirit. Additionally, the star is associated with freemasonry and is used in various flags, such as the flag of the United States, where it represents the states of the union.
