Pentagram - offers protection if we know how to breathe life into it

04/28/2022

Five is the number of the Sephira Geburah which cabbalists associate with the planet Mars. Geburah represents combative energy, the protective force that repels enemies. This is why a magus often places a pentagram – a five-pointed star – at the entrance to their house with the two-fold purpose of keeping out demonic spirits and preventing luminous spirits from leaving. Obviously, even if you put a pentagram over your door, you will not necessarily be protected. The symbol is truly effective only if you work to become a pentagram inwardly. The pentagram is, as it were, the skeleton of an astral spirit, and you have to breathe life into it so that, like a faithful watchdog, it will defend your home against evil entities. But you can do so only by your own life – a life of honesty and integrity in the service of light.
