Neo-Pagans and the Pentagram

Above how most Neo-Pagans see the Pentagram

The ancient connection with the Goddess of love Venus and the planet can be seen in ancient art. Which has also has been called by Christianity the morning star. In Revelations, Jesus referred to himself as the bright and morning star. And later the star also became the false light of Lucifer (the light bearer). It was seen very differently in the ancient Pagan Greek and Roman beliefs.

The pattern that Venus moves in the sky in conjunctions with the Sun forms a Pentagram which has probably motivated much of what is believed in the ancient world about the five pointed star.

Many
political leaders have used the Pentagram as a symbol of power.
