Based on Renaissance-era occultism, the pentagram found its way into top the symbolism of modern occultists. Its major use is a continuation of the ancient Babylonian use of the pentagram as a charm to protect against evil forces. “The Pentagram expresses the mind's domination over the elements and it is by this sign that we bind the demons of the air, the spirits of fire, the spectres of water, and the ghosts of earth.” - Éliphas Lévi
