There are so many Star symbols out there today.. From the traditional pentagram on up to 9 point, and likely more I haven't seen.
Today our focus is on the seven point star. What I know about it, and what my research has turned up.
The seven-point star is also know as the faerie or elves star and is considered one of the entrances to the faerie relm, or the gateway to the Otherworld.
I see this star in use in the Feri tradition (which differs greatly from faerie. feel free to google both). But I think the star's meaning overlaps,
Here are several prospectives I found.. then mine:
Each point on the star represents a pathway, or the seven rays of manifestation of the higher self as follows:
1st point - Power, Personal Will,
Determination
2nd point - Unconditional Love,
Wisdom, Growth
3rd point - Knowledge, Intelligence
4th point - Harmony, Tranquility
5th point - Powers of mind and Science
6th point - Devotion, Honesty
7th point - Magic
It is also said that the points closely relate with the pentagram, to include earth, air, fire, water, "above & below", and "self"
There are also other correspondence one could draw:
The chakras, the seven planets, days of the week, moon and sun + 5 visible planets, and so on.
I don't know a lot about different pentacles, but I've seen the iron, perl, ect. I'm inclined to think the first example makes sense.. just gut instinct here. But when I look at the seven-point star I always think :
earth, air, fire, water, spirit, above & below, within and without (external to self), and mystery (Center)
I welcome your perspective and comments
Blessed be
