SYMBOLS

PENTAGRAM

In the religion of Wicca we view the pentagram as an amulet and a symbol for protection. The five points on the pentagram represent each of the five elements.

Earth - represents stability and physical endurance. (bottom left point).
Fire - represents courage and daring. (bottom right point).
Water - represents emotions and intuition. (right point).
Air - represents intelligence and the arts. (left point).
Spirit - represents the All and the Divine. (top point).

The circle around the star represents the God/Goddess; it refracts and reflects all light, bringing to the wearer total intelligence, universal wisdom and protection. This becomes a graphic portrayal of Spirit ruling over the five elements. When the pentagram is placed within a circle, its energy is focused and directed. The pentagram upright, to those of spiritual percetion, represents the redemption of Spirit from matter by ruling over it.
