PENTAGRAM SYMBOLISM
The pentagram was used in the old world religions and symbolized the “feminine” forces of nature such as creation, abundance, chaos and much more. The pentagram was inverted to symbolize the “masculine” forces such as order, will and such.

This is one of the reason that old world religions refer to nature as she and new world religions refer to god as he. The new world religions see god as order and will, they says it is the will of god. Pagans understood both forces and their roles in life so they used both upright pentagram to represent the “feminine” - creation chaos forces and the inverted to represent the “masculine” - order and will forces. The pentagram represent the Seal of Solomon on the Moroccan flag.

RAVEN SPIRIT SYMBOLISM
The raven is a common iconic figure in Norse mythology. The highest god Odin had two ravens named Huginn and Muninn ("thought" and "memory" respectively) who flew around the world bringing back tidings to their master.

In the  Bible, Genesis tells us that after the flood waters receded, the raven was the first bird Noah sent out from the ark to find land. Also, in the Hebrew Talmud, ravens are credited with teaching mankind how to deal with death; when Cain slew Abel, a raven showed Adam and Eve how to bury the body, because they had never done so before.
Ravens have strength and power, imparting or amplifying those qualities in those who honor them by for example wearing a pendant with a raven.
