Sold Out The History of Barn Stars On many older American barns, particularly German farms, one would see a large decoration in the shape of a star mounted on the face of the barn. These were called barn stars. Sometimes they were just aesthetic, but sometimes they represented the trademark of a specific barn builder. Although they go back to at least the 1820's in Pennsylvania, they were most popular after the American Civil War. In modern times, barn stars have come to be known as signs of good fortune and luck. Here is what the different colors and combination of colors mean: · Black: Protection, also used to blend or bind together. · Blue: Protection, peace, calmness and spirituality. · Brown: Mother earth, also can mean friendship and strength. · Green: Growth, fertility, success in things and ideas that grow. · Orange: Abundance in career, projects and matters needing an added push. · Red: Emotions, passion, charisma, lust and creativity. · Purple: Things that are sacred. · White: Purity, power of the moon, allows energy to flow freely. · Yellow: Health in body and mind, love of man and sun, connection to God. · Yellow/Red: Passion for a healthy mind and body. · White/Red: Purity of emotion. · Red/White/Blue: Creativity, energy and peace.
