A five-pointed [[star (symbol)|]] drawn with five straight lines.

Can(but not always)contain within itself,but not to be confused with,a [[pentagon_(shape)|pentagon]].

Wiccans (a modern [[witch]] religion) use a pentagram with three points up as a holy symbol, often drawn within a circle, while Satanists use a [[inverted pentagram]], often inscribed in a double circle with the head of a [[goat]] inside the pentagram.

In Japanese culture, this symbol (五芒星) is strongly associated with "[i]Abe no Seimei[/i]":https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abe_no_Seimei, Japan's most renowned "onmyouji":https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Onmy%C5%8Dji.
