This is a really cool 925 sterling silver pentagram pendant from Thailand. Stamped 925. I'll include a nice hand woven cord with a wood clasp so it can be worn right away. Pentagram History: The pentagram design can find its history in ancient Greece, Babylonia, Christianity, Free Masonry, and Wiccans. It has magical associations. The circle around a pentagram transforming it into a pentacle is a symbol of unity, wholeness, infinity, and protection. The five-pointed star represents the elements earth, air, fire and water and spirit. The circle binds them together to create life. Pointing up, the pentagram can represent spirituality's dominance over the material bound inside the laws of the cosmos. The upside-down facing pentagram represents the physical world ruling over the spiritual, and has somewhat been associated with dark magic. However contemporary thinking suggests it represents the need of one to face the darkness within so that it may not rise up later and take control. This pentagram is pointing up.
