The Pentangle, also known as the five-pointed star, is a geometric figure formed by connecting five points in a continuous line. It is often associated with various cultural and spiritual meanings, symbolizing elements such as earth, air, fire, water, and spirit. The shape is commonly used in art, architecture, and religious contexts, representing harmony and balance. In addition to its geometric significance, the Pentangle appears in literature, notably in Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, where it symbolizes the virtues of knighthood. The figure is also linked to Pythagorean philosophy, where it represents the connection between the physical and spiritual realms.
