The Origins of Pentagrams

Pentagrams took on a lot of their modern occult meaning thanks to two artwork changes done within the last 200 years. In 1909, pentagrams were added to tarot cards and an 1856 decision to add them to a figure called Baphamat. This was drawn in 1856 by a French occultist named Elifah Levi who wanted to illustrate this older concept of a demonic figure who is attractive to regular people.
