Today the Pentagram/pentacle has arrived for the cover of my Halloween Spell Book. It is much bigger than I thought it would be, but it does fit (just) on the front of the book.
This is it as it has arrived. I have since Given it a coat of silver paint, and it is going to need a 2nd and maybe a 3rd as its quite patchy at the moment. I plan to make it really pretty with purple gem stones - my plan is to end up something like this one, obviously without all the swirls and stuff but the with purple stones.
This was my inspiration for todays pin, but I also thought I would use this one which has information about the Pentagram.
The Pentagram is NOT a bad symbol nor is it linked to devil worship like many people believe. The Pentagram is a 5pointed star that is used for protection, all of its lines are interlinked and are enclosed in a circle. The 5 points all have a meaning, the top is for the Spirit or Goddess, the rest represent the elements, the top left is for Air, the top right is for Water, the bottom left is for Earth and the bottom right is for Fire. You can find out more about it's meanings here.
