Quincunx
The arrangement of five units in the patter corresponding to the five-spot on dice, playing cards, or dominoes. A quincunx is often used in Hoodoo as a sort of "artifical crossroad" and can be created inside a room in the house. The quincunx or five-spot is generally used for scaling and fixing spells in place.
The reference and symbol appears to be derived from http://www.luckymojo.com/layingtricks.html#quincunx - even if the show didn't appear to be using it in the correct manner.
