Pentagrams
Joannes Richter
Abstract
The human voice is based on five acoustical sources, which are controlled by several bundles of
muscles. The muscles may be controlled by 5 alphabetical letter categories named lingual, guttural,
palatal, labial, and dental. This essay defines the categorization as follows linguals: D, Þ L, N, T,
palatals: C, G, I, J, K, Q, X, gutturals: A, Ε, H, O, Y, labials: B, ϝ - V, M, P, U, W and dentals: Z, S, R.
Each language uses a distribution of the categories and certain amount of redundancy in words to
optimize the communication links under critical conditions such as a trading market or a battle.
Pentagrams distribute the categorized letters and prefers 5-letter words for important words, which
are to be protected against deterioration.
Each language seems to have protected a few dedicated pentagrams, which are analyzed in the
following essay.
The Proto-Indo-European mythology
Initially the Moon may have been the highest celestial deity.
There may be a correlation between two perfect pentagrams (MINOS, “Minos”) and (Greek:
MÌNAS, “the moon”).
Another possibility is that Minos and his relatives would be dramatis personae in a
local "astronomical myth".[9] Telephassa (Minos's grandmother) means "far-shining";
Pasiphaë (a daughter of Sun god Helios and Minos's wife) means "all-shining" or "wide-
shining"; Phaidra (Minos's daughter with Pasiphaë) means "bright, beaming"[10] - all
three containing a tangible Proto-Indo-European root *bheh2- 'to glow, shine',[11]
which, in Greek, derives φαής phaés 'light' and related words.[a] Minos's name would
then signify a lunar deity[b][c] in this context, thus connected to several words for a
moon god in Indo-European languages.[d] 2
In French the word for the sun is “Soleil”, which according to Merriam-Webster is said to be
derived from Vulgar Latin soliculus (“little sun”).
History and Etymology for soleil: Adjective
French, sun, from (assumed) Vulgar Latin soliculus, diminutive of Latin sol sun 3
An alternative derivation follow the Gothic word Sauil (SAUIL) in the shape of the abbreviations of
SOL(uil) or SO(ui)L.
Another reason for these derivations are the royal name and pentagram LOUIS, which is a reversed
spelling of the French word for the sun (SO(ui)L).
In the Frankish history the name-giving for Clovis (Chlodovechus) (Ch)LOUIS had been described
as the initial step towards the Frankish empire.
A great number of Frankish kings and emperors were named LOUIS (English LEWIS4), but the
most important king was Louis_XIV, the Sun King (le Roi Soleil), who was King of France from
1643 until his death in 1715. His reign of 72 years and 110 days is the longest recorded of any
monarch of a sovereign country in history. [1][a] 5
Therefore the Frankish empire may be considered as an empire of the sun.
The FRANKs started the Frankish dynasty by the name-giving of a Thuringian queen named
“BASINA”, who named her first son “(Ch)LOUIS”6.
Basina or Basine (c. 438 – 477) was remembered as a queen of Thuringia in the middle
of the fifth century, according to much later authors such as especially Gregory of
Tours. However, because he described this kingdom as being on the Gaulish side of the
river Rhine, it is sometimes thought to be the Civitas Tungrorum. 7
ZEUS[a] is the sky and thunder god in ancient Greek religion, who rules as king of the
gods of Mount Olympus. His name is cognate with the first element of his Roman
equivalent Jupiter. His mythology and powers are similar, though not identical, to those
of Indo-European deities such as Jupiter, Perkūnas, Perun, Indra, Dyaus and Thor.[4]
[10][11][12] 8
Zeus is the Greek continuation of *DiI ēus (*DII ĒUS), the name of the Proto-Indo-
European god of the daytime sky, also called *Dyeus ph2tēr ("Sky Father").[24][25] The
god is known under this name in the Rigveda (Vedic Sanskrit Dyaus/Dyaus Pita), Latin
(compare Jupiter, from Iuppiter, deriving from the Proto-Indo-European vocative
*dyeu-ph2tēr),[26] deriving from the root *dyeu- ("to shine", and in its many
derivatives, "sky, heaven, god").[24] Zeus is the only deity in the Olympic pantheon
whose name has such a transparent Indo-European etymology.[27] 9
Veltha
VELThA is not a pentagram.
Tinia
TINIA is not a pentagram.
Ianus
Janus is the bi-faced god of beginnings and endings.
In ancient Roman religion and myth, Janus (Latin: IĀNVS (IĀNUS)) is the god of
beginnings, gates, transitions, time, duality, doorways,[1] passages, frames, and endings.
The ancient Greeks had no equivalent to JĀNUS, whom the Romans claimed as
distinctively their own.
The name of the god Iānus, meaning in Latin 'arched passage, doorway', stems from
Proto-Italic *iānu ('door'), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *ieh₂nu ('passage'). It is
cognate with Sanskrit yāti ('to go, travel'), Lithuanian jóti ('to go, ride'), or Serbo-
Croatian jàhati ('to go').[4][5]11.
Jupiter
Ju-piter (*DJOUS-PITER) is derived from the pentagrams *DJOUS "day, sky" + *PITER "father".
It must be noted that the name JU-PITER and the pentagram for *PITER contains a letter “I”
instead of an “A”:
Jupiter (from Latin: Iūpiter or Iuppiter from Proto-Italic *djous "day, sky" + *patēr
"father", thus "sky father"),[12] also known as Jove (gen. Iovis [ˈjɔwɪs]), is the god of
the sky and thunder and king of the gods in Ancient Roman religion and mythology.
In Roman mythology, he negotiates with Numa Pompilius (753–673 BC), the second
king of Rome, to establish principles of Roman religion such as offering, or sacrifice. 12
Jupiter is the third-brightest natural object in the Earth's night sky after the Moon and
Venus13. It has been observed since pre-historic times and is named after the Roman god
Jupiter, the king of the gods, because of its massive size.
Liber
In ancient Roman religion and mythology, LIBER (Latin: "the free one"), also known as LIBER
Pater (→ LIBER-PITER, "the free Father"), was a god of viticulture and wine, fertility and
freedom.
He was a patron deity of Rome's plebeians and was part of their Aventine Triad (Ceres,
Liber and Libera). The cult was established ca. 493 BC within a sacred district
(templum) on or near the Aventine Hill, traditionally associated with the Roman plebs.14
The legendary king Tiberinus, ninth in the king-list of Alba Longa, was said to have
drowned in the river Albula, which was afterward called Tiberis.[8] The myth may have
explained a memory of an earlier, perhaps pre-Indo-European name for the river,
"white" (alba) with sediment, or "from the mountains" from pre-Indo-European word
"alba, albion" mount, elevated area.[10] Tiberis/Tifernus may be a pre-Indo-European
substrate word related to Aegean TIFOS "still water", Greek phytonym τύφη a kind of
swamp and river bank weed (Typha angustifolia), Iberian hydronyms Tibilis, Tebro and
Numidian Aquae Tibilitanae.[11] Yet another etymology is from *DUBRI-, water,
considered by Alessio as Sicel, whence the form Θύβρις later Tiberis. This root *dubri-
is widespread in Western Europe e.g. Dover, Portus Dubris.[12]
The pentagrams Tivas and Woðinz in the Germanic languages
Both the Proto-Germanic theonym *TĪWAZ (“God”) and the plural TÍVAR (“Gods”) are
pentagrams. The Old English TĪW and Týr (TYR) may be abbreviations of the pentagrams.
In English the Tuesday is interpreted as
Týr is the eponym of the Tiwaz rune (ᛏ), a letter of the runic alphabet corresponding to
the Latin letter T. By way of the process of interpretatio germanica, the deity is the
namesake of Tuesday ('Týr's day') in Germanic languages, including English.
In Old Norse poetry, the plural TÍVAR is used for 'the gods', and the singular TÝR,
meaning '(a) god', occurs in kennings for Odin and Thor. 15
TIWAZ (Stem: Tiwad-) was the Luwian Sun-god. He was among the most important
gods of the Luwians.
The name of the Proto-Anatolian Sun god can be reconstructed as *Diuod-, which
derives from the Proto-Indo-European word *dei- ("shine", "glow"). This name is
cognate with the Greek Zeus, Latin Jupiter, and Norse Tyr. While TIWAZ (and the
related Palaic god Tiyaz) retained a prominent role in the pantheon, the Hittite cognate
deity, Šiwat [de] (ŠIWAT)was largely eclipsed by the Sun goddess of Arinna, becoming
a god of the day, especially the day of death.
In Luwian cuneiform of the Bronze Age, his name appears as Tiwad-. It can also be
written with the Sumerogram dUTU ("God-Sun"). In Hieroglyphic Luwian of the Iron
Age, the name can be written as Tiwad- of with the ideogram (DEUS) SOL ("God-
Sun")17 .

Woðinz
Although the Proto-Norse WOÐINZ on the Strängnäs stone may be interpreted as an imperfect
pentagram we may not feel comfortable in classifying Odin as a sky-god.
The Old Norse theonym ØÐINN (runic ᚢᚦᛁᚾ on the Ribe skull fragment)[2] and its
various Germanic cognates – including Old English and Old Saxon Wōden, Old Dutch
Wuodan,[3] and Old High German Wuotan (Old Bavarian Wûtan),[4] – all derive from
the reconstructed Proto-Germanic masculine theonym *Wōđanaz (or *Wōdunaz).[5][6]
Translated as 'lord of frenzy'[7] or 'leader of the possessed',[8] *Wōđanaz stems from
the Proto-Germanic adjective *WŌĐAZ ('delirious, raging') attached to the suffix *-naz
('master of').[7]
Odin (/ˈoʊdɪn/;[1] from Old Norse: Óðinn, IPA: [ˈoːðinː]) is a widely revered god in
Germanic mythology. Norse mythology, the source of most surviving information about
him, associates Odin with wisdom, healing, death, royalty, the gallows, knowledge, war,
battle, victory, sorcery, poetry, frenzy, and the runic alphabet, and projects him as the
husband of the goddess Frigg. In wider Germanic mythology and paganism, the god
was known in Old English and Old Saxon as Wōden, in Old Dutch as Wuodan, and in
Old High German as Wuotan, all ultimately stemming from the Proto-Germanic
theonym *Wōđanaz, meaning 'lord of frenzy', or 'leader of the possessed'.
It is cognate with the Latin venia ("favour, permission") through to common PIE root
*wenh₁- ("to strive for, wish for, desire, love").[1][3] The Latin verb venerārī ("to
honour, worship, pay homage") is a derivative of Venus.[1]
Venus has been described as perhaps "the most original creation of the Roman
pantheon",[5] and "an ill-defined and assimilative" native goddess, combined "with a
strange and exotic Aphrodite".[6] 19
The planet VENUS is not a pentagram. A suitable pentagram is VANIR (Vanir), a House of the Wise
(group of gods associated with health, fertility, wisdom, and the ability to see the future.)
Venus [goddess of love] {1287} < Latin VENUS, venus [passion, delight, beauty], Old-
Norse VINR [FRIEND] and (undergoing an ablaut) VANIR [gods of the fertility],
related to the verb “to wish” (Dutch: wensen (→ venereren).20
The pentagram VRIJEN (“to court”) correlates to Freija (FREIJA) and Friday.
Cronus
During antiquity, Cronus was occasionally interpreted as Chronos, the personification of
time.[17] The Roman philosopher Cicero (1st century BCE) elaborated on this by
saying that the Greek name Cronus is synonymous to chronos (time) since he maintains
the course and cycles of seasons and the periods of time, whereas the Latin name Saturn
denotes that he is saturated with years since he was devouring his sons, which implies
that time devours the ages and gorges.[18] 21
Although the planet Saturn seems to represent the source for “Saturday” a pentagram for the planet
Saturn may easier be derived from the Greek name Cronus (CRONUS), which might correlate to
CRODUS.
In his Teutonic Mythology Jacob Grimm describes the month “Hrêðemônad”, which by Bede is
interpreted as the month March for Hrêðe. ON. HRÔÐR, OHG. HRUÔD (or ChRUÔD ?), OFrank.
ChRÔD. These words may be related to the planet Mars and not to Saturn...
Therefore the link between CRONUS / CRODUS and Hrêðe (ON. HRÔÐR, OHG. HRUÔD (or
ChRUÔD ?), OFrank. ChRÔD) cannot easily be matched.

Krodo
Also the name Krodo (and similar derivatives) cannot be related to the Saturn god or planet:
Krodo according to the 1492 Saxon Chronicle incunable, probably written by the
Brunswick goldsmith Conrad Bothe (c. 1475 – c. 1501) and printed in the studio of
Peter Schöffer at Mainz, was a Germanic god of the Saxons. He is supposed to have
been similar to the Roman god Saturn. Modern historians characterize the figure of
Krodo as a fake (Janzen 2017)22.
Nevertheless the nearby Goslar collegiate church contained the so-called Krodo Altar, which
probably dates back to the 11th century and may have been transferred from Harzburg Castle by
Emperor Henry III to his Imperial Palace of Goslar about 1047. According to the harzburger-
wanderseite.de the altar is dated at the 11th century, but was assigned quite recently to the Krodo-
idol.23
Rod
Rod in the pre-Christian religion of Eastern and Southern Slavs, is the god of the family, ancestors
and fate, perhaps as the supreme god24.
According to some scholars, the Rod is absolute, primordial god of the universe and of
all other gods. Both in the earliest Slavic religion and in modern Slavic Native Faith's
theology and cosmology, gods are arranged as a hierarchy of powers begotten by the
supreme God of the universe, Rod, known as Deivos (DEIVOS) in the earliest Slavic
religion.[1] According to Helmold's Chronica Slavorum (compiled 1168–1169),
"obeying the duties assigned to them, [the deities] have sprung from his [the supreme
God's] blood and enjoy distinction in proportion to their nearness to the god of the
gods".[2]
Scholars also consider him cognate with the Iranian Verethragna or Varhran, the Indic
Indra Vṛtrahan, the Armenian Vahagn.[49] He is associated with military, smithery, and
with fire (Ognebog), both that of the household and that of the sun (Xors Dazhbog).[50]
The Indo-European root of the name is *swer ("to speak"), related to *wer ("to close",
"defend", "protect"). Jarog or Rarog is a falcon owned by Svarog who is a Falconer.
Rarog applied to a bird god of later folk religion.

The Pillar of the world in Spain
Fig. 1: Most derivatives for the English word SPINE are pentagrams
and correlate to the original name (HI)SPANIA of SPAIN
Remarkable is also the similarity of the name for SPAIN in Germanic languages such as Dutch:
SPANJE and German: SPANIEN).
The Galician word: ESPIÑA for “spine” may also solve the uncertain origins of the name España
(ESPAÑA, Spanish for SPAIN).
The origins of the Roman name Hispania (HISPANIA), and the modern España
(ESPAÑA), are uncertain, although the Phoenicians and Carthaginians referred to the
region as SPANIA, therefore the most widely accepted etymology is a Semitic-
Phoenician one.[15][20]26
Therefore I suggest to consider SPAIN as a derivation of the words for the backbone SPINE.
The pentagrams SPAIN (the location of the Pillars of Hercules/Heracles and the Atlantic Titan),
SPANIA (the Phoenician name for Spain), PILAR (one of the Pillars of Hercules), SPĪNA (the
backbone of Heracles or Atlas as the axis of the world) are used for the words in static support for
the global architecture.
In the 4th century, the presence of votive images placed on columns or PILLARS is attested:
Some of the earliest archaeological evidence of Marian devotion in Zaragoza is found in
Christian tombs dating from Roman days, which appear to bear images representing the
Assumption of the Blessed Virgin. In the 4th century, the presence of votive images
placed on columns or pillars is attested.[4] The oldest written testimony of devotion to
the Blessed Virgin in Zaragoza is usually identified as that of Pedro Librana in 1155.[5]
There is evidence that the site attracted pilgrims from across the Iberian Peninsula
during the 13th century, e.g. reflected in the work Milagros de Nuestra Señora by
Gonzalo de Berceo, dated to the 1250s or early 1260s. The appellation Santa María del
PILAR is attested for 1299. The claim that the first church had been the oldest in
Hispania, built in AD 40 by James the Greater, is first recorded in 1318.[6] 28

In his Teutonic Mythology Jacob Grimm describes the month “Hrêðemônad”, which is interpreted
as the month March for Hrêðe. ON. HRÔÐR, OHG. HRUÔD, OFrank. ChRÔD. These words may
be related to the planet Mars and not to Saturn...
Romulus consecrated the third month of the year to Mars, his progenitor ; our ancestors
also named it after a deity who may perhaps be identified with Mars. That is to say, the
Anglo-Saxons called March Hrêðemônað, which Beda without hesitation traces to a
goddess Hrêðe; possibly other races might explain it by a god Hrêða ? These names
would come from Hrôð gloria, fama, ON. Hrôðr, OHG. hruôd, OFrank. chrôd, which
helped to form many ancient words, e.g. OHG. Hruodgang, Hruodhilt, OFrank.
Chrôdogang, Chrôdhild ; did Hruodo, Chrôdo express to certain races the shining god of
fame ? The Edda knows of no such epithet for Tŷr as Hrôðr or Hrœðr (see Suppl.).31

In the Harz mountains an idol with an image of Saturn is named Krodo:
But that AS. Sæteresbyrig from the middle of the 11 th century irresistibly recalls the
'burg' on the Harz mts, built (according to our hitherto despised accounts of the 15 th
century in Bothe's Sachsenchronik) to the idol Saturn, which Saturn, it is added, the
common people called Krodo ; to this we may add the name touched upon in p. 206
(Hrêðe, Hrêðemônað), for which an older Hruodo, Chrôdo was conjectured. We are told
of an image of this Saturn or Krodo, which represented the idol as a man standing on a
great fish, holding a pot of flowers in his right hand, and a wheel erect in his left ; the
Roman Saturn was furnished with the sickle, not a wheel (see Suppl.).
Here some Slav conceptions appear to overlap. Widukind (Pertz 5, 463) mentions a
brazen simulacrum Batumi among the Slavs of the tenth century, without at all
describing it; but Old Bohemian glosses in Hanka 14th and 17th carry us farther. In the
first, Mercurius is called “Radihost vnuk Kirtov” (Radigast grand son of Kirt), in the
second, Picus Saturni filius is glossed “ztracec Sitivratov zin” (woodpecker, Sitivrat's
son); and in a third 20th, Saturn is again called Sitivrat. Who does not see that Sitivrat is
the Slavic name for Saturn, which leads us at the first glance to sit=satur ?
Radigast=Mercury (p. 130n.) is the son of Stračec=Picus ; and in fact Greek myths treat
Picus (Πίκος) as Zeus, making him give up the kingdom to his son Hermes. Picus is
Jupiter, son of Saturn ; but beside Sitivrat we have learnt another name for Saturn,
namely Kirt, which certainly seems to be our Krodo and Hruodo. Sitivrat and Kirt
confirm Saturn and Krodo ; I do not know whether the Slavic word is to be connected
with the Boh. krt, Pol. kret, Euss. krot, i.e., the mole. I should prefer to put into the other
name Sitivrat the subordinate meaning of sito-vrat, sieve-turner, so that it would be
almost the same as kolo-vrat, wheel-turner, and afford a solution of that wheel in
Krodo's hand ; both wheel (kolo) and sieve (sito) move round, and an ancient spell
rested on sieve-turning. Slav mythologists have identified Sitivrat with the Hindu
Satyȃvrata, who in a great deluge is saved by Vishnu in the form of a fish. Krodo stands
on a fish ; and Vishnu is represented wearing wreaths of flowers about his neck, and
holding a wheel (chakra) in his fourth hand. All these coincidences are still meagre and
insecure; but they suffice to establish the high antiquity of a Slavo-Teutonic myth,
which starts up thus from more than one quarter.33
Footnotes 3 and 4:
3) To Hrôdo might now be referred those names Roysel (later spelling Reusel) and
Roydach in Gramaye, who understands them of Mars ; ancient documents must first
place it beyond doubt, which day of the week is meant. There is an actual Hruodtac, a
man's name in OHG. (Graff 5, 362), and an OS. Hrôddag is found in Trad. corb. 424,
ed. Wigand ; these may be related to Hruodo, Hrôdo as Baldag to Balder, and the
contraction Roydag, Rodag would be like Roswith for Hrôdsuith. If Roydag should turn
out to be the seventh day of the week, it would be a strong testimony to the worship of
Chrodo ; if it remain the third, we have to add, that the third month also was sacred to
Mars, and was called Hrêðemônað by the Anglo-Saxons.
4) The Kaiserchr. 3750 says, to Saturn we offer quicksilver ; whereas now Saturn's
symbol signifies lead. In Megenberg Saturn is called Satjâr. The Saxon Saturn is
supported by Hengest's reference to that god . (Extracted from Suppl., vol. iii.)34
