Origin

The devil’s trap is a mystical symbol used to imbolise and control demons. 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.

The devil's trap seen painted on the ceiling at Bobby's house is composed of two pentacles from the Lesser Key of Solomon. See also Heptagram

The Grand Pentacle:"It serves to convene all spirits; when shown to them they will bow and obey you"
The Fifth Pentacle of Mars:"it is terrible unto the demons, and at its sight and aspect they will obey thee, for they cannot resist its presence"
