THE ESOTERIC PENTAGRAM
The Esoteric Pentagram or five-pointed star, is the same TE TRA GRAM MA TON. Symbolizes the
Self-Realized Man, is the star of omnipotence. It is the sign of the Word made flesh, hence the
name (Pentagram). Derived from the Greek word "penta or πέντα" meaning five and "grama or
ΓΡΑΜΜΑ" which means letter.
The Sacred Pentagram universally known as microcosmic star, initiatory star, flaming star;
represents the protective forces of nature, the Self-Realized Man.
The Te Tra Gram Ma Ton represents the domain of the Solar Man on the four elements of nature,
Fire, Air, Water and Earth. This sacred esoteric star in its upright position, as it is in the drawing,
rejects the forces of evil. In the inverted position attracts dark forces.
1 The numbers on the top kabbalistically added (1 + 2 + 1 + 2 + 3 = 9) giving the number 9, which
means the Ninth Sphere, Sex, the alchemical work with our creative energies.
2 The Cup symbolizes the Sacred Vessel of Hermes in which we see the wine of redemption,
product of alchemical transmutation. Also symbolizes our creative energies, the hermetic vessel
that should not ever be poured out.
3 The Blackstaff or Cane or symbolizes our spinal column with the seven degrees of power of Fire
obtained with the awakening and ascent of Kundalini, the sexual serpentine fire. The three tassels
at the top of the staff, are the three primary forces of creation, Father, Son and Holy Spirit that
every initiate must incarnate.
4 The Sword symbolizes WILL. The flaming star is performed in us with super-efforts stimulated
by the creative will.
5 The star of Solomon indicates to us the struggle between good and evil. The inverted triangle
is the negative position which we find ourselves in and the vertical triangle signifies the triumph
over evil.
6 The caduceus of Mercury is the same alchemical transmutation to be done with love (Venus)
and wisdom (Mercury). The wings are the Spirit. The Sun and Moon are lunar and solar forces
that are conjugated in the transmutation in order to upwardly develop, the Sacred Fire
or Kundalini.
7 The power of the Initiate is represented by Jupiter. Mars, the warrior, is indicating us the
terrible struggles that occur within the initiate. Saturn symbolizes the mystic death of the ego
and overcoming Death.

PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS OF THE PENTAGRAM
It is of great service to the works of practical magic in Theurgy or white magic is used with the
tip up and in goecia or black magic with the tip downward facing. So then that is a double-edged
sword; before this living symbol terrified demons tremble. This sacred esoteric star in its upright
position, as it is in the drawing, rejects the forces of evil. In the inverted position attracts dark
forces.
Placed in the doorway with the upper tip inward and outwards the two lower angles not allow
the passage to the black magicians; and the opposite if used with the interior angles inward of
the enclosure. The pentagram is a real weapon, provided that it is used with respect, chastity and
will, may be framed in a frame under glass to further increase its esoteric potential.
The Pentagram is the sign of the Word made flesh. All fallen bodhisattwa are an inverted flaming
star. The best amulet to ward off negative forces is a pentagram drawn up with the seven
materials. The seven materials are:

To defend ourselves from negative attacks we can capture with creative imagination, the great
star, pronouncing with much strength and faith the sacred mantras:
KLIM KRISNAYA GOBINDAYA GOPIJANA VALLABAYA SWAJA.
KLIM attracts the Christic forces.
KRISNAYA - GOBINDAYA - GOPIJANA: the Christic forces surround the initiate.
BALLAVAYA –SWAHJ: the pentalpha radiates the strength to ward off the tenebrous.
12 = The number 1 is the male, the fire, the number 2 is the female, the water; when adding
them, we get the 3, the christified soul by means of sacrifice “12”.
123 =The Father, the Mother, their Child, the Trinity, when adding them, we get 6, the soul that
unites to God by means of love. The numbers 1, 2 and 3 are united by means of love.
Adding all the numbers: 1+2 = 3 and 1+2+3 = 6
3+6 = 9 The Ninth Sphere.
The Pentalpha as a whole, the Man God, the Adam Christ, the Alchemist and Kabbalist, is the
outcome of the nine: sex.

The Seal of Solomon symbolizes the dominion over the element earth.
The six points of the star are masculine. The six outer obtuse angles that exist between
point and point, are feminine. In total the star of Solomon has twelve rays, six
masculine and six feminine. The star of Solomon is the perfect symbol of the
Central Sun. All the zodiacal measurements are resumed within the Seal of Solomon. The whole
sexual Genesis of the Zodiac is hidden within the Seal of Solomon. The intimate relationship that
exists between the Zodiac and the invisible Central Sun is found within the Seal of Solomon. The
Twelve Rays of this brilliant star are crystalized by means of the Alchemy of the twelve zodiacal
constellations.

Innermost), the Power that Deliberates (The Mind), and the Executive Power (The
Personality).

channels: Ida and Pingala, through which the soul of the mercury rises. The latter
ascends, after it’s fecundated by the fire of the Holy Spirit (by means of scientific
chastity, represented in the sign of Venus - in the center of the pentagram - made by
the Caduceus together with the circle which is below the sign of Mercury) and goes
through the medullar canal (Shushumna), opening in its path the seven churches
(seven chakras) which are mentioned in the Apocalypse of Saint John, and unfolding the igneous
wings that allow us entrance to all the departments of the kingdom.
The chalice, the Holy Grail symbolizes the element water, the “yoni” or feminine sexual
organ, and also represents the christified mind which contains the wine of light that
inseminates the brain.
The staff of seven knots or the key of science, symbolizes the air. It is the vertebral
column with the seven chakras. It is the spinal medulla through which the seminal vapors
rise. It is the wand of Moses, the rod of Aaron, the staff of the patriarchs, the reed of
Brahma, the scepter of the kings or Malachim of Nature.
The sword: Is the phallus- “lingam” or masculine sexual organ, symbolizing willpower, the
dominion over the fire.
Conclusion
If we can make a metallic pentagram and consecrate it, we can also consecrate ourselves with
the same rites and perfumes that we utilize for our metallic pentagram, because the human being
is a star of five points.
All those who feel filthy, with larvae, or in misery, should use the 5 perfumes to smoke themselves
("smudge" themselves) under one condition: that they tread upon the path of perfect chastity so
that both the body and the soul will receive the benefits.
