Origin
The devil’s trap is a mystical symbol used to imbolise and control demons, and also to prevent them entering a place, or gaining access to something. The devil’s traps seen in Supernatural all originate from The Lesser Key of Solomon, which is grimoire or magical text written in the 17th century. It contains rituals and spells for invoking and controlling both demons and angels.
There are two major variations of devil's traps in Supernatural:
1. The Heptagram.
An example of the Heptagram devil's trap can be seen painted on the ceiling at Bobby's house. It is composed of two pentacles from the Lesser Key of Solomon which form a Heptagram.
2. The Pentagram.
Drawn from several shots and scenes. The pentagram devil's trap is seen drawn on the trunk on the Impala as well as in Bobby's Panic Room.
