      The below is extracted from C. G. Liungman's 'Dictionary of Symbols', which has various entries related to the symbol of the five-pointed star as it occurs in the modern world (Liungman, C. G. (1991). Dictionary of symbols. Santa Barbara, Calif: ABC-CLIO). Exact references will follow.

      "The five-pointed star without crossing lines is one of the most common and important Western ideograms. It is used in the flags of some 35 countries. Its first appearance on a national flag is believed to have been in 1777, when the United States of America declared itself an independent country. 


      This star is als the most widely used military symbol and is found on the tanks and fighter jets of all the superpowers, as well as in the armed forces of all other countries on uniforms, etc. It is, in this particular use, related to [pentagon symbol], in this group, and to [pentagram symbol], the sign for the planet Venus as the Morning star and the goddess of war. For nearly all armed forces on this planet the golden five-pointed star without crossing lines is the symbol par préférence of military rank and power. For its origins and a description of its relation to [Venus star sign symbol], look up [pentagram in circle symbol] in Group 29.


      The five-pointed star is also a symbol of ideologies and appears together with other structures to denote different creeds and belief systems : with the hammer and sickle it represents commmunism ; with palm leaves, Scientology, with the half-moon, Islam ; with a T-sign inside the star, Tupamaros (the now-defeated socialist city guerillas in Uruguay). With crossing lines, as [pentagram symbol] in the sign [...], it represents the Bahai religion. These are just a few of the ideologies using the five-pointed Venus star as their logotypes.


      [five-pointed star without crossing lines symbol] has several other uses. It denotes the Bethlehem star. It is sometimes a sign to indicate an especially good quality product or achievement (recall the five-pointed gold and silver stars that were used in the lower grades at school). Philatelists use it to mean a stamp that has not been postmarked."


      (...)


      "This sign is associated with law and order and is found used as a police badge and sheriff's star in several states ([six-pointed star without crossing lines symbol] is however more common). On gravestones it is commonly used to indicate the date of birth.


      As a cadence sign it denotes the third son.


      [five-pointed star without crossing lines symbol] is sign for the Eastern star (along with [five-pointed star without crossing lines within circle symbol] and [pentagram with filled outer triangles symbol]). The Eastern star is the planet Venus when it appears as the Morning star. The Bethlehem star is often drawn [filled five-pointed star]. It was this star that the three wise men, the Magi, saw and followed to Bethlehem when Jesus was born. The Bethlehem star is a typical Christmas symbol, as is the eight-pointed Venus star.


      There is a theory propagated by certain researchers of symbolism that the star observed by the wise men was, in reality, several planets and/or distant suns that conjugated at the time of Jesus'birth (a few years before the beginning of our present chronology). But those who study the night skies and different conjunctions know that it is extremely rare for such a phenomenon to be mistaken for a single star, and even if this in fact was the case, the stars would have been distinguishable a few hours before and after the conjunction.


      Whether the South and Central American cultures ever were able to plot Venus' movements we do not know, but they, too, had a five-pointed star, albeit lacking in graphical precision: [five-pointed star with rounded edges and a circle in the middle]


      Although [five-pointed star without crossing lines symbol] is quite common in the Western culture it is used in a relatively small number of modern sign systems, including philately and some simple cartography, where it represents centers of communication and towns. It is also used on some nautical charts to signify sources of light and light-houses.

        The five pointed star with crossing lines might be more telling than the five-pointed star without crossing lines, as it tells us about the latter's 'scaffolding', that consists of strokes through the centre, which remind us of its triangular-shaped structure, which in turn his blatantly apparent in the hexagram, « that consists of two intersecting congruent equilateral triangles having the same point as center and their sides parallel. » If need be, the Hereford, England, penta/hexagram is a reminder that both geometries are closely connected ; from a mathematical standpoint, their common denominator is the nmber 6 (see Roy Snelling, 'The Planetary Matrix: The Primary Ley-Line Network Of The Earth', p. 40). It may be even more telling that the five pointed star with strokes through the centre.


        Guénon (Symbols of Sacred Science, p. 310) reminds us that « medieval Christian hermeticism saw in the two triangles of the hexagram a representation of the union of the two natures, divine and human, in the person of Christ. Christianity aside, the interpretation he gives us (The Great Triad, p. 36) of the hexagram as the development, the unfolding of all manifestation is complementary. Speaking of complementarity, from a microcosmic perspective, in ancient India, it represented the union of the lingam and of the yoni. In other words, the down-pointing triangle is seen as a stylised representation of female external genitalia, and the up-pointing triangle would stand as a stylised erect penis. This interpretation is admitted universally.


        There turns out to be a stumbling block to it ; the Greek letter 'delta', that had strong feminine associations. Clearly, it connoted female genitalia. The following English translation of 'Lisystrata', 151 is inacurrate : « Of course we should, by the goddesses twain! We need only sit indoors with painted cheeks, and meet our mates lightly clad in transparent gowns of Amorgos silk, and perfectly depilated; they will get their tools up and be wild to lie with usé. » What the translator rendered as « perfectly depilated » should really be translated as « the depilated delta. » (see https://orbi.ulg.ac.be/bitstream/2268/80005/1/Vandersmissen_2010_Etudclass-169.pdf, p. 182-3). 'Delta' is likely to be derived from the Hebrew 'deleth/daleth', 'door', 'opening', and from the same Phoenician word, which means – and this is also quite telling - 'tent door' (http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=delta). What's more, Greek inscriptions show two alternative shapes for early 'delta'. One was the isosceles triangle, the other an half-moon outline that would be the source for our own 'D' (see David Sachs, Language Visible, p. 97).


        What if the down-pointing triangle represents female genitalia as seen from the front, and the up-pointing triangle female genitalia as seen from the back ?
