The Pentagram
In witchcraft 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 element. When the pentagram is placed
within a circle, it's energy is focused and directed. The pentagram upright, to those of
spiritual percetion, represents the redemption of the Spirit from matter ruling over it.
