Gargoyle Folklore / Gargoyle Symbolism
Since medieval times, gargoyles have leered down from the rooftops of the great cathedrals. Their faces are sometimes fierce, sometimes comical, but these stone demons were never simply decorative. In fact, gargoyles served a dual purpose. Channels were cut into the stone, providing a spout for rain to drain through. Frequently, the gargoyles were carved so that the rain drained from their open mouths. The words “gargle” and “gurgle” both derive from the same roots as the word “gargoyle”. The gargoyles second function was to drive away evil spirits with their hideous visages, protecting the building and all who entered therein.
Pentacle Symbolism
The
Pentacle or Pentagram is a 5 pointed star that is often, but not always,
encircled with the circle of Unity. It represents the domination of Spirit
or Divine Will over base matter, and the elements of Spirit, Earth, Water,
Fire, and Air. The pentacle has been a symbol of protection and spiritual
growth for millennia. At its points are the stages of Life: birth, initiation,
consummation, repose, and death, with the circle bringing us back to birth
in the cycle of reincarnation.
