 The Pentacle or the Pentagram is a 5 pointed
star, often, but not always, encircled with the circle of Unity. It represents
the domination of Spirit or Divine Will over base matter, and the elements
of Spirit, Earth, Water, Fire, and Air. The pentacle has been a symbol
of protection and spiritual growth for millennia. At its points are the
stages of Life: birth, initiation, consummation, repose, and death, with
the circle bringing us back to birth in the cycle of reincarnation. Representing
the element of Earth in the Tarot, the pentacle is also associated with
prosperity and abundance and groundedness. The pentacle is often confused
with the pentagram. The pentagram is the mathematical design itself, while
a the pentacle is an object in the shape of a pentagram. The paten is
a dish for holding cakes and other offerings or for charging material
items and often has a pentacle or pentagram inscribed upon it.
