Lodestar

 

Lodestar

A lodestar is a star that is used to find direction, particularly with reference to a pole star. In a figurative sense, it can mean an example or principle that people want to follow.

The lodestar is present on many of those flags of African nations that use the Pan-African colours. In this context, it represents the ideal of (African) freedom.
