At the center of this cut-out pentagram, where its lines create a pentagon-shaped void, there is a smaller pentagram pointing downward.
An inverted pentagram such as this is the symbol that represents a Wiccan novice's advancement to the level of second degree. It signifies that at this level of learning, the practitioner's spirit must 'descend' into the realm of the physical world as part of an introspective exploration, the purpose of which is to overcome one's own fears, prejudice's, misconceptions, and bad feelings. It is a symbol of the practitioner's goal to master darkness and self.
This is a straightforward pendant with no unnecessary or superfluous embellishments or details; it is as much a symbol as it is a piece of jewelry. It is flat with a smoothly polished finish on the front and finely hammered texture on the back.
