The Pentagram of Invocation vs. the Pentagram of Banishment
The five‑pointed star has been used for millennia as a map of the elements that compose life. When it points upward it becomes a Pentagram of Invocation; when turned upside‑down it becomes a Pentagram of Banishment. Both symbols spell A L L A H around their points, but the order of the elements—and the moral direction they imply—could not be more different.
1. Pentagram of Invocation (right‑side‑up)
Code; Being above and living as a Morning Star!
Orientation: The star stands upright, the top point representing Spirit.
Letter order (clockwise): A → L → L → A → H, matching the sequence Spirit → Air → Earth → Water → Fire.
Philosophical meaning:
Spirit is the first cause. It initiates the chain of creation.
Each subsequent element is an effect of the one before it: Spirit then follows Air, Air then follows Earth, Water then follows Fire.
Living “correctly” means recognizing this causal flow. When you act, you see your action as the cause and the result as the inevitable effect.
Practical implication: Understanding cause‑and‑effect lets you choose actions that lead to constructive outcomes, fostering responsibility and ethical clarity.
2. Pentagram of Banishment (upside‑down)
Code; Being below and under the fires of the Morning Stars!
Orientation: The star is inverted; the bottom point now represents Spirit.
Letter order (left‑to‑right across the bottom): A → L → L → A → H, again spelling Spirit → Air → Earth → Water → Fire, but the visual flow is reversed.
Philosophical meaning:
The inversion suggests a reversal of the natural order: Fire is treated as the last consideration, not the first cause.
Ignoring the causal chain leads to a life lived “incorrectly”—actions are taken without regard for their effects.
This path is associated with selfishness, denial of responsibility, and the consequences are random & imposed by an external “world.” not by human willful hands or choices against the one receiving the consequences or karma. Only delivered by Natural disasters, health issues and freak accidents only!
Consequences: According to the karmic principle embedded in the symbol, the universe reacts to this misalignment by delivering negative results—accidents, illness, or natural disasters—not as punishment from a human hand, but as the natural feedback of a disrupted causal order.
3. Choosing a Path
Awareness: Recognize that every choice ripples outward. The Invocation star reminds you that you are the first cause of your own actions.
Accountability: Accept that the effects you generate—whether constructive or destructive—return to you as either your REWARD INVOKED OR REWARD BANISHED.
Global perspective: Consider how personal decisions affect the larger web of life; the “global consequences” are simply the sum of many individual cause‑and‑effect loops.
In short, the upright star invites you to align with the natural flow of cause and effect, while the inverted star warns of the chaos that follows when that flow is denied. The choice, as always, rests with your own FREE-WILL.
