Here we are going to give a basic history of the Pentacle...what it stands for and different ways people use it in their
beliefs.
|
|
The Pentacle is simply a pentagram with a circle around it. This symbolizes eternity, totality,
and unity. It emphasizes the interconnectivity of all of the elements. The direct and indirect relation of one element to
the other.
The Pentacle has been a symbol of protection and spiritual growth for centuries/millenia. At the points are the
stages of Life: birth,initiation,consummation,repose, and death, with the circle bring us back to birth through the cycle
of reincarnation.
The Pentacle is often worn as jewelry for protection,wisdom and empowerment. It
is also used on the altar during rituals or for spell work, as a way to connect us with the 5 elements.
