Wiccans 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.
