Inverted Pentagram

Inverted Pentagram Symbol (⛧)

The **Inverted Pentagram symbol (⛧)** is a five-pointed star with one point facing downwards, as opposed to the upright pentagram. This orientation is often associated with various symbolic meanings, notably within occult, magical, and sometimes controversial contexts. While the upright pentagram often symbolizes spirit over matter or protection, the inverted pentagram is commonly linked with materialism, the physical world, or in some cases, elements of dark magic or Satanism, particularly in popular culture. Its interpretation is highly dependent on the specific tradition or context in which it is used.
