– my view
In order to work with pentagrams, one should know which way their chackras spin. So first try to spin your chackras to see which way they spin. It is important, because the energy body is connected with the mind and the mind holds all keys – to beyond, to above, to within , and so on. We are merely a passage for the energies of the Universe.
That being said, when I wanna raise above a certain situation, or to get perspective, I use upright pentagram, spinning it in the same direction as my chackras, which is in my case counterclockwise. When I want to let go, let’s say a limiting belief, I use upright pentagram spinning the other way than my chackras, thus I disentangle and raise above the said limiting belief. When I want to attract something, I use an inverted pentagram spinning it according to my chakras. When I want to grind something, let’s say an aggression, I also use inverted pentagram, spinning according to my chackras, but first I attract with it the dark energy of Chaos and Void, then the thing I want to destroy, I grind it, then move on, keeping to spin my pentagram, at first on the same plane with the remains of my grind, then I accelerate and rise using the pentagram as a propeller. If I wanna heal something, I use two pentagrams, overlapped. The inverted one spins the other way than my chackras and is cleansing and throwing outside, the upright pentagram spins the same way as my chackras and heals the wounds. It’s like a surgery but energetical. If I wanna birth something myself, I use an inverted spinning against my chackras, but then I charge myself and the birthed item in the sunlight, which cleans and heals. Pentagrams are overlapped on the body image and we stay inside the body during the process. One’s fears and limiting beliefs should be explored and well-known before starting to work like this, not to backfire you. It might be a good idea to keep in contact with spirit guides before and during the work. Hope it makes sense and helps.
