As Witches, we view the pentagram as an amulet and a symbol for protection. The five points on the pentagram represent each of the five elements.  

The Pentagram

Bottom Left Point represents Earth, stability and physical endurance.

Bottom Right Point represents Fire, courage and daring.

Right Point represents Water, emotions and intuition.

Left point represents Air, intelligence and the arts.

Top point represents Spirit, the All and the Divine.

  The circle around the star represents the God/Goddess; it refracts and reflects all light, bringing to the wearer total intelligence, universal wisdom and protection. 

This becomes a graphic portrayal of Spirit ruling over the five elements. When the pentagram is placed within a circle, its energy is focused and directed. The pentagram upright, to those of spiritual perception, represents the redemption of Spirit from matter by ruling over it. Worn by Pagans the world over as a symbol of faith, the Pentagram is an ancient symbol of protection.
