- Occult / Ritual Use: In modern witchcraft, Wicca, ceremonial magic, or esoteric practices, a pentagram board may be used as an altar tool, a focal point for rituals, or for divination (like a pendulum board). Practitioners may place candles, crystals, or ritual tools on the points of the star to represent the elements (earth, air, fire, water, spirit).
- Divination Board: Similar to a spirit board (like a Ouija board), a pentagram board can be used with a pendulum. The pendulum is held over the star, and its movements are interpreted as answers to questions.
- Decorative or Symbolic Item: Some people use pentagram boards simply as spiritual decor, a protective symbol, or a meditation aid.
The pentagram itself has been a symbol across cultures:
- In Wicca, it represents the five elements.
- In ancient Greece and Babylonia, it had mathematical and mystical significance.
- In Christianity, it once symbolized the five wounds of Christ.
