The Pentacle

The most important symbol of Witchcraft is the pentacle.
The pentacle (or pentagram) is a Witches symbol of protection
and positive power. The five points signify
Earth, Air, Fire, Water and Spirit.

The symbol of Witchcraft, The Pentacle, is a bold and
fascinating statement about our place in the Universe.


The pentagram represents an ancient concept that can be
found in philosophical thought in both East and West.
Although, it’s over 8,000 years old the image of the pentagram
is applicable in our modern world. The pentagram tells us
that we have the ability to bring Spirit to Earth;
this applies to every area of practical day-to-day living,
as well as spiritual thought. The ability of bringing Spirit
to Earth is what makes us whole.
