star of the five witches

[jelly.belly]

hey guys!
ok, this might be just me being totally stupid, but anyone ever heard the pentacle referred to as the star of the five witches? I did many times, and I tried to find something about why it's sometimes called like that, but I didn't find anything... I thought it might be a legend or something like that, anyone has an idea why?

I've never heard of anything like that. . .! :huh:

Although. . . correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the shape of a pentacle is a lot older than the term "witch."

I think you may be right Puma. I dont know for sure but seems like the word "witch" was first used after Christianity came about and I believe the pentagram (the star as an occult symbol) was used in the years B.C.
