sure.. its a Heptagram or Septagram..  the seven pointed star..

Religious/occult symbolism:

• The first heptagram was used as a symbol in the Kabbalah, and later by Aleister Crowley and the Ordo Templi Orientis where it was known as the Star (or Seal) of Babalon.
• The second heptagram is known among Pagans as the Elven Star or Fairy Star, a sacred symbol to those who follow the Faery tradition and Faeids faith. Similarly, it has been adopted as an identifier by some members of the Otherkin subculture. Blue Star Wicca also uses the symbol, where it is referred to simply as a septegram. The second heptagram is also a symbol of magical power in other Pagan religions. The {7/3} heptagram is also underlying the weekday heptagram.^[1]
• The heptagram is also used in Christianity to symbolize the seven days of creation and became a traditional symbol for warding off evil.^{[citation needed]}
• The heptagram is also the symbol of perfection (or God) in many Christian religions.
• In alchemy, a seven-sided star can refer to the seven planets which were known to ancient alchemists.
• In the Philosophy of Equalization a seven-sided star can refer to the seven elements of the universe.
