the pentacle

its quite interesting to get to know weird stuff for da truth!
yes, for the 'da vincci code' readers, pentacle is an interesting icon that was introduced at the very first episode.and the 1st symbol told. Actually i dont really believe in this supersticious shit at all! but curiousity kills man! i couldnt bear knowing nuthin!

pentacle, pagans, wicca

Pentacle: The Pentacle is a flat disc upon which a pentagram (5-pointed star) is inscribed, along with any other symbols particular to a certain tradition. The pentacle represents the element of Earth, the Northern Quarter, and the Archangel Uriel (or Ariel). Items are placed upon a pentacle to be charged and consecrated. You can buy pentacles made of porcelain to use as trivets (heat-proof tiles), metal pentacles (Though many Wiccans choose to keep as much metal out of their circles as possible...there is scientific proof that the energy you draw is electromagnetic based, and metal can throw that energy off.), or even simple wooden pentacles with the pentagam engraved. Also, if you so choose, I have seen altar cloths sold with a pentacle printed directly on the cloth so you don't need a separate disc. I prefer the separate disc because when I consecrate salt to mix with the water, I pick up the disc to get as much into the chalice as possible without spills.
