Pentagram - Classification

Classification

  • The simple five-pointed star is not a pentagram; it is a concave decagon.

  • A pentagram usually has strokes through the center and has 5 points.

  • A pentacle is a pentagram inscribed on a pendant or disc, sometimes this is depicted as a glyph with a circle around it (point-down in this image), but this glyph is not in itself a pentacle.
