Pentacle meaning

The difference between the pentagram and the pentacle (although very often the term is used interchangeably today) is that the pentagram is only the five-pointed star, whereas the pentacle is a five-pointed star within a circle. The modern pentacle is widely used in many nature-based religions, including Neopaganism, Wicca, Hermeticism, and even as a Tarot suit. One interpretation is that the five points on the star represent the five Elements: Air, Water, Fire, Earth, and Spirit.

We are surrounded by symbols in our waking life and we don't even realize it. You have probably seen at least five symbols today! Symbols are used for logos such as the Spells8 logo, as ways to minimize speech such as the play button on a remote, and as a way to hold space for words. Symbols are used in witchcraft, too, and their meanings and uses vary just as much from one witch to the next.

The Pentagram is a symbol of a star encased in a circle. Always with 5 points (one pointing upward), each has its own meaning. The upward point of the star is representative of the spirit. The other four points all represent an element; earth, air, fire, and water. All these things contibutite to life and are a part of each of us.
