The five-pointed star, known worldwide as a pentagram or pentalpha esoteric, among other names, has an unknown origin and existence is lost in the mists of time. The Sumerians used it and like the Star of David, no culture, society, religion or country have a monopoly on this symbol.
The meaning of this symbol is varied and there are many interpretations.
Star in normal position: According to most experts in esotericism, the star with the point up, is a positive symbol. Its shape is like a human figure with arms outstretched and legs apart (as seen in the picture). The top edge of the star, is the head of man and other tips are the 4 elements. So this symbol initiatory level, shows a man (or woman) who controls and dominates the four elements. Where the initiate has absolute control of their destiny and everything around him.
Inverted Star: This 5-pointed inverted star, is known by most of the star of the Devil, Satan or Lucifer. Symbolically, it can be said, that like the star, in normal position, was the man controlling the four elements, the inverted pentagram, shows the man's head down and the four elements above it. This means that it controls the four elements, but instead is attached to the Earth, ie the material energy (coming materials, basic instincts, power, money ...). It is also said, that being the three points down, is a denial of the Christian Trinity and the two ends up indicating the downside (as duality) that dominates, compared to positive.
Note:
I have to comment that it is a serious mistake to think that the inverted star is the representation of Lucifer, as initiatory level, Lucifer used the 5-pointed star in its normal position, since in any initiatory way luciferin, sought or should seek spiritual and transcendental knowledge. The inverted star instead if that has to do with Satanism.
