Pentagram
Symbolism
The pentagram tends to be the main religious symbol of the Pagan religions.
It encompases our elemental beliefs and is one of the strongest protective
amulets ever "created".
The Pentagram dates back thousands of years to pre-Babylonian Sumer (~3500 BCE). Many religions have once used this symbol ... the Jewish people saw it as a symbol of the Five Books of Moses, and Christians once used it as a protective amulet. It has been called such things as the Druid's Foot and the Witches' Star.
Each point of the Pentagram represents one of the five metaphysical elements of the ancients. The top point represtents Spirit, the upper-left point represents Air, the upper-right point represents Water, the lower-left point represents Earth, and the lower-right point represents Fire. In this fashion, the pentagram represents Spirit ruling over the four elements.
The pentagram is readily worn as jewelry and used upon the altar for ritual / spell work. As jewelry it can bring empowerment, protection, and wisdom. For spell work it connects us with the five elements.
