According to Professor Rudolf Koch in his "The Book of Signs" (1930), the pentagram signified a witch's foot to the Celtic priests, to the Jews it represented the five Mosaic books, and to the Druids it stood for the symbol of godhead. In Christian symbolism, it represents the mystery of the rosary, and by analogy with the rose, the Virgin Mary.
from The Ancient Science of Geomancy by Nigel Fennick (1979)
