Symbolic Meanings of the Pentagram
The number '5' has always been regarded as mystical and magical, yet essentially 'human':
(1)We have five fingers/toes on each limb extremity.
(2)We commonly note five senses - sight, hearing, smell, touch and taste.
(3)We perceive five stages or initiations in our lives - eg. birth, adolescence, coitus, parenthood and death. (There are other numbers/ initiations/stages/attributions).
The number 5 is associated with Mars. It signifies severity, conflict and harmony through conflict. In Christianity, five were the wounds of Christ on the cross.
There are five pillars of the Muslim faith and five daily times of prayer.
Five were the virtues of the medieval knight - generosity, courtesy, chastity, chivalry and piety as symbolised in the pentagram device of Sir Gawain.
The Wiccan Kiss is Fivefold - feet, knees, womb, breasts, lips - Blessed be.
The simplest star, the pentagram, requires five lines to draw it; it is a continuous loop.

According to Greek philosophy , the Harmony of the World is
composed of five elements. The Hindus, too, detected five
principles in man. These five elements were composed of his
personality, and were similar to the five great principles which
constitute and make up the world, the universe created and made
manifest - the macrocosm. "If we assume that the World in which
we live is the only one there is, and that is what Aristotle thinks,
then it is itself, made up, as it were, five worlds which make
Harmony of it: one is the Earth, another Water, the third Fire, the
fourth Air and the fifth Sky, with the last one being called Light by
some and Ether by others and by yet others, Quintessence"
Gothic and Roman inspiration brings us the churches and cathedrals
of the Middle Ages which were often decorated with stained glass
windows or sculptures in the form of a five petal rose. It featured a
geometric figure consisting of a circle with a star with five sections
on the inside; and all around, five lobes which are circles whose
center coincides with each of the points of the five sections of star.
"The five petal rose was symbolic of the pentagram, whose
principle was established by Pythagoras. According to the
Pythagorean doctrine, ten is the perfect number; it represents unity
and in all tradition is the number for divinity. Man bears the image
on his hands and feet. If you accept the 5 as the number of man, the
pentagram becomes the emblem of the microcosm. So the
microcosm and macrocosm whose image it is, form the perfect
number (5 + 5 = 10) of God" [Marie-Madeleine Davy, Introduction
to Roman symbolism, published by Flammarion, 1964]
You know, if this was in a public school, we'd have to give fair time to all religions.
