Wiccan Protection Symbols – What Are They, How To Use Them, And How They Can Help You
The most popular Wiccan symbol is the pentagram. A pentagram cut out on a piece of wood or stone and used for magickal purposes is called a pentacle. The pentacle is sometimes used as the focal point of the altar. The shape of the five pointed star represents a human being. Feet apart, arms extended with the head representing the star’s topmost point. It also represents the four elements of the Earth and the spirit with the circle connecting them all.
Symbols are used in religious ceremonies, in spells, on amulets and other jewelry, in protection devices and in other rituals. Just drawing a pentagram in the air with our fingers is believed to cleanse and purify the sanctity of the surroundings. Many people draw pentagrams on exam papers and other personal properties to inspire them and to make positive things happen in their future.
