pentacle

Occult star symbol

A pentacle is a five-pointed star enclosed within a circle, used as a mystical or magical symbol.

It appears frequently in Western occult traditions, Wicca, and various forms of ceremonial magic, where it may be drawn, worn as an amulet, or inscribed on ritual objects.

The pentacle is often confused with the pentagram, which is simply the five-pointed star without the surrounding circle.
