The Pentagram means different things to different people. Some argue against different meanings to what it really is. The right side up represents the Divine God ruling over the world of matter. The 5 Points represent the 5 places that Christ was wounded. Traditionally they say that Demons are afraid of it. This is another belief of the Pentagram from others point of view but there are many definitions that people believe in.
The Pentagram also represents the elements; Spirit, Water, Air, Earth and Fire. You can see this from the diagram below... This image as you can see is also known for being used by most people in Witchcraft soon as people recognize this image.

CHRISTIANITY: The Pentagram was apparently used in ancient times as 'The Christian Symbol' for the five senses. In the Medieval time the Christians believed that the "Pentalpha" symbolizes the five wounds of Christ. This was believed for the people to be protected against the Demons.

THE HUMAN STARS: The saying 'Every man and every women is a star' We can juxtapose Man on a Pentagram with head and four limbs at the points and the genitalia exactly central. This is a Man in microcosm, Symbolizing our place in the Macrocosm or universe and the Hermetic/Tantric philosophy of associativity as above, so below.
As a group while coming up with the narrative, we thought of an idea including the Pentagram into our trailer but when we looked into the meaning of the Pentagram, we had a discussion about:
- Would we allow the demon to attach itself onto us even though we are producing a trailer?
- Would it be a typical idea which most horror trailers/films include and would we want to copy it?
- Could we link candles to the Pentagram and create our own version of the Pentagram?
