These little pentagrams have a somewhat irregular and uneven look to them, like a simple drawing of a pentagram.
This is fitting, since the pentagram is the main symbol of Wiccans who are known to draw them in the air during rituals to invoke or banish certain energies.
The pentagram is a complex symbol, and although it is often misunderstood, it has for most of its history been used in a positive and well-meaning way to represent knowledge, goodness, the sacred number 5, and the triumph of the spirit.
The number 5 is a mystical number that is found in both humans and in nature. The symmetry of the pentagram can be seen in starfish, flowers, the human hand, the five senses, and many other living things.
It is also a symbol much identified with Wiccans, who follow and earth-centered spirituality. For Wiccans, it symbolizes the four elements of our world - earth, air, fire, and water - plus spirit. A circle placed around the star, which is then known as a pentacle, adds further meaning - infinity, the endless cycles of life and a connection with the five elements.
When you wear a pentagram, it means you feel a connection with the elements and respect the earth and our natural world.
