The seven-pointed Faery Star is an ancient symbol of magick also known as a Fairy Star or Elven Star, it is most often used to represent the world of Faery. It can be worn as a protective shield, a focal point for meditation, or a symbol of the Shining Realms.

Medieval alchemists used the seven-pointed star to stand for the seven alchemical metals and their corresponding planets.  But it may also stand for the seven colors, the seven musical notes, the seven sisters (Pleiades), or any of the many sacred things that come in groups of seven.   In Hermetic Qabalah, the septagram can represent the sphere of Netzach and the corresponding planet of Venus.  Aleister Crowley also chose a septagram as the seal of Babalon.

Many practitioners use the Faery Star instead of, or in addition to, the familiar five-pointed pentagram.  Some say that the pentagram encompasses magic of the elements and the Earth while the seven-pointed star reflects planetary celestial magic.
