The pentagram as you can see, represents the five elements, Water, Fire, Earth, Air and Spirit. The first four elements represent life for us. Without water, we cannot live, without the warmth of fire, in the sun, we cannot live, Without air, we cannot breathe , without our Earth, we cannot grow the things we need to survive, so there would be no life. There is also a fifth element. Some call it the "soul", some "conciousness". It goes by the name of "Akasha". It is the embodiment of the other four combined.
