So why is the five pointed star or pentagram so spooky? 2,000 years ago, men were looking for answers that our modern knowledge has taken care of. They kept noticing coincidental numbers in their interpretation with their universe per Sophocles (495-405 B. C. E.) “Numbers are the world’s wonder.” Three of these numbers, 144, 666 and the Golden or Fibonacci ratio, are contained in the five pointed star or pentagram. Triangles’ three angles always total 180 degrees. The five points of the star are all 36 degrees. Take one of the point triangles and subtract 36 degrees from 180 degrees and, yup, you get 144 degrees for the sum of the other two angels. 144 is also a number in the Fibonacci sequence. Add 90 times 3 or 270 degrees to 36 degrees to get the equivalent 4th quadrant 306 degrees. Add one full 360 degree circle to 306 degrees and get 666 degrees. The ancients also noted that a straight line segment of one side of the internal pentagon plus one leg of an adjacent point gets intersected by one of the other comparable combined segments at exactly the Golden or Fibonacci ratio. The ancients kept hearing their contemporary version of the movie “Jaws” music theme so they assigned a supernatural and sometimes a satanic fear of the unknown reason for these common coincidences.
