The Pentagram is one of the most powerful and important pagan symbols used by Witches and Ceremonial Wizards throughout the universe.

A Pentagram represents the four mystical and ancient elements of fire, water, air & earth surmounted by the spirit.

Wearing or using any type of pentagram jewelry or bearing the symbol of the pentagram will help open your mind to the mysteries of Magick, increase psychic awareness, protect against evil spirits and all negative forces and strengthen your spell casting powers.

The five-pointed star of the Pentagram has always served as a VERY POWERFUL TOOL.

Traditionally the five angles of the pentacle or pentagram has been attributed to one of the five metaphysical elements of the ancients.

Those being:

• EARTH: Lower left hand corner, stability, growth, nurturing.

• WATER: Upper right hand corner, intuition, healing, feminine powers.

• FIRE: Lower right hand corner, Action/Reaction, masculine powers.

• AIR: Upper left hand corner, Communications, Intellect.

• SPIRIT: The Top point, the guiding force.
  

A PENTAGRAM (sometimes known as pentalpha or pentangle) is the shape of a five pointed star drawn with five straight strokes. The word pentagram comes from the Greek word pentagrammon, a noun form of pentagrammos or pentegrammos, a word meaning roughly "five-lined" or "five lines".

Pentagrams were used symbolically in ancient Greece and Babylonia. The Pentagram has magical associations, and many people who practice neopagan faiths wear jewelry incorporating the symbol. CHRISTIANS once more commonly used the pentagram to represent the five wounds of Jesus, and it also has associations within Freemasonry.

Many Neopagans, especially Wiccans, use the pentagram as a symbol of faith similar to the Christian Cross or the Jewish Star of David. It is not, however, a universal symbol for Neopaganism, and is rarely used by Reconstructionists. Its religious symbolism is commonly explained by reference to the neo-Pythagorean understanding that the five vertices of the pentagram represent the four Elements with the addition of Spirit as the uppermost point. As a representation of the elements, the pentagram is involved in the Wiccan practice of summoning the ELEMENTAL spirits of the four directions at the beginning of a ritual.

The outer circle of the circumscribed pentagram is sometimes interpreted as binding the elements together or bringing them into harmony. The Neopagan pentagram is generally displayed with one point up, partly because of the "inverted" goat's head pentagram's association with Satanism; however, within traditional forms of  Wicca, a pentagram with two points up is associated with the Second Degree Initiation and in this context has ABSOLUTELY NO relation to satanism or devil worship.

Because of a perceived association with Satanism and also because of negative societal attitudes towards Neopagan religions and the "Occult", many United States schools have sought to prevent students from displaying the pentagram on clothing or jewelry in public schools, such actions by administrators have been determined to be in VIOLATION of students' FIRST AMENDMENT right to FREE EXERCISE OF RELIGION.
