PENTACLE

 

    No other symbol is more widely associated with Witchcraft than the pentacle, a round disk engraved with a pentagram (five pointed star).  The circle surrounding the pentagram is the universal symbol of totality.  The pentagram it self symbolizes the human microism.  It also represents the five elements; Air, Fire, Water, Earth, and Spirit.  Upright as pictured, the pentacle depicts the spirit above matter and is a symbol of the Goddess. 

     In the practice of magick, the pentacle represents the practitioners' ability to create or manifest desire.  As the embodiment of the element of Earth and the realm of materialism, the pentacle provides a place, like an artist's canvas, on which abstract thought forms can be brought to life.  From a spiritual or esoteric viewpoint, the pentacle represents the realm of birth, life, death, and renewal.

  During a magickal operation, prcatitioners use the symbol of the pentacle to help conceptualize their thoughts, believing that what they see in their minds' eye they will surely realize in physical form.  The pentacle becomes the point of focus where all the practitioners' attention is directed.  If practitioner's are totally focused and are able to force their will towards a single purpose, they will achieve results and manifest their desires.

     The true beauty and power of the pentacle lies in its versatility.  It provides the practitioner with a mode of expersion and a place to arrange his/her thought forms until they can be forced into reality.  For example, by placing the logo or symbol of your coven or lodge on the pentacle and charging the logo during ritual, you endow those affiliated with the group a portion of energy raised.
