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.

greater good, and represent swiftness, gentleness, grace and balance. Often
