Symbolism

The Star is a powerful symbol in witchcraft. It is protective, it guides our power, and it is pure Cosmic energy. As the light of the Star passes through the ether before reaching us, it is anointed with the knowledge of the Universe. When we gaze up at the Night sky, we are entranced by this power, and we realize that we are small, yet despite our seeming insignificance, all that power is shared with us as a part of Creation, and all the power of the expanding Universe runs through us as well. The witch flies above the waters of life, the source of all things. Before her are the clouds of the material world that obscure our connection to the Cosmos, but there is a bright Star to guide her and with an outstretched hand she can almost touch it, representing our connectivity and accessibility to the forces of the Universe if we remind ourselves to look beyond the clouds.

Divinatory Meaning

Just as the Star is a small dot of light from our perspective, The Star invoked means you are coming into self-realization—all the black space around you is meaningless to the things that make you shine. Just as the light of the Star endures long after it has burned out, so, too, do you. Despite the hardships and turmoil of life, your faith and your strength endure. You are undergoing a period of healing, both physically and spiritually. The Star invoked signals that you are surrounded by the magical force of the ether, and now is the time to really delve into manifesting your desires. This is the time for you to enjoy the coming peace, tranquility, and love the Star brings with it. You are on the verge of discovering your life's purpose so let inspiration overcome you. The Cosmos is truly blessing you, so take advantage of it.

When Banished

When the Star becomes obscured by the clouds, it is banished and it takes with it the power of the Cosmos. You have lost faith in the Divine and your hope is waning. Your struggles have pulled you far from the Star's generous light and have disconnected you from the spiritual. Take a moment to collect yourself and look at the situation from a new perspective. Are the things you are suffering through destructive, or are they going to end in a blessing that will make you better and stronger? The light of the Star has traveled for aeons to reach you; embody its endurance. Your loss of inspiration and connection in your life is a sign that you need to reevaluate whether or not the current rewards in your life (related to work, relationships, or some other aspect of life) are worth the effort and contribute to your Spiritual Self. Take the time to purify yourself and purge yourself of the cloudiness that is stifling your inner Star.
