Witchcraft Symbols
In this post, I will be explaining and detecting common symbols used in witchcraft. When most people see any of these symbols, they automatically assume that they come from demonic and satanic origin and are symbols of the devil. Before we all carry out with our assumptions, read the following:
The pentagram, also known as pentacle, is a 5 pointed star enclosed by a circle that's pointing upward. Each point represents an element of life. Starting from the top point and going clockwise, the order is: spirit, water, fire, earth, and air. The circle around the pentagram represents eternity and infinity, the cycle of life and nature. The circle touches all 5 points of the pentagram, representing that all elements are connected with one another. This circled pentagram is a passive form that implies spiritual containment of keeping the traditional secrecy of witchcraft.
The inverted pentagram is actually the opposite of the circled pentagram. With the circled pentagram representing the good of nature, the inverted pentagram represents spirit acting without question to all matter, including carnal desires (if you don't know what carnal means, I suggest you look it up real quick). Many Pagans believe the symbol represents the dark side and is evil. Another belief is that the inverted pentagram is the representation of the need of the witch to learn to face the darkness within so that it doesn't take control in the future. The center of the pentagram also represents a 6th formative element - love or will, which internally controls matter and spirit by will and sexual desires.
The Crescent Moon is the symbol of the Goddess, usually worn by women. The word Crescent originated from Latin, creare, meaning to create This symbol represents female fertility, and the ability for the creation of life by women.
The hexagram is a counterfeit Star of David, the national symbol of Israel. The difference between the Star of David and the hexagram is the triangles which make up the occult seal interlock and the two triangles of the Star of David lie flat against each other. The hexagram is a very powerful symbol to witches, magicians and sorcerers. It is used in different kinds of witchcraft, magic, occultism, and the casting of zodialcal horoscopes. Because it has six points, and because it contains a '666,' the hexagram is considered to be Satan's most powerful
The triquetra, the triple moon, represents the threefold nature of the Goddess: As maiden, mother, and crone. The triquetra represents the three faces of the Goddess, balance of the mind, body and spirit. The circle symbolizes the circle of life, death, and rebirth. The triquetra is a fine representation of the power of three and the celebration of feminine power.
