The Pixy Star
The Pentagram or five pointed star is well known as a symbol of paganism. The points representing the four elements and spirit. If in a circle, it is known as a pentacle, the circle representing the protection of the Goddess and God.
The Septagram, or seven pointed star is the symbol of the pixies. It is used as a symbol for those who work with Faery magic. The Faery Star is more complex than the pentagram, since it includes two extra representations, the moon and magick. As with the pentacle, if the Faery Star is contained within a circle, the circle represents the protection of the Goddess and God.
The Sun. (Fire)
Passion and Energy. The sun is the primary force of life and creation on Earth or most any other world. Without it, life as we know it would not exist. Its influence affects us in uncountable ways, ranging from climate to psychology to its interaction with other bodies in our system. At the same time, there are the magical symbols associated with the sun: life, energy, creation, fertility, power--but at the same time remember that the sun has its negative aspects as well: drought, extreme heat, and so forth.
The Wood. (Earth)
Stability. Pixies feel a deep connection to forests and woods in general. Trees are considered kin, cousins and brothers. Pixies can see a deep secret hidden in the branches of trees, and understand the power and nature of trees and woods. There is also earth elemental symbolism here.
The Sea. (Water)
The dynamic, deep nature of water. Many pixies also have a connection to the sea, and water elemental powers are very strong naturally. Some may be reluctant to know the sea or feel it, perhaps forgetting the ocean as one of the great forces of many worlds.
Magick
Magick is integral to the lives of all pixies, whether it be the simple but profound magic of a snowflake or the more involved magic of rhymes, runes, visions, and such. It is not only a matter of understanding magick, but of living it.
The Moon
Just as the sun is responsible for our existence, so too does the moon have almost as important a role. Consider how different Earth would be without the moon: to light the dark night skies; to affect the weather and tides with its gravity and even the magical and physiological effects upon us and others. Without its effects, the cycles of life in our oceans might not have occurred--or at least, not have occured as we have known them to. The way life on Earth exists now is due directly to the moon.
The Wind. (Air)
Voice, soul, and thoughts. Many pixies also have a strong connection to the wind and air elementals in general. At the same time, the wind is responsible for helping germinate the world's plants and forests--it is the essence of weather, and so much more.
Connection. (Spirit)
Ultimately, pixies remember the idea of Connection; Of our connection to ourselves, others, the world, the land, reality, magic, and the universe. We are creatures of connection, and our power is tied to our connections to all things. This point is the aspiration perhaps of the other points, just as the fifth point of spirit is the aspiration of the pentagram and humanity.
