The Pentagram
The Pentagram is a 5 pointed star encased in a circle. The circle surrounding a
pentagram contains and protects as it symbolises eternity and infinity, the cycles of life and nature.
The
upward point of the star is representative of the Spirit. The other four points represent the Elements of Air,
Water, Fire and Earth.
The circle touching all 5 points indicates that the Spirit, Air, Water, Fire and Earth
are connected.

The Elements
The 5 elements being Spirit, Air, Water, Fire and Earth all contribute to life and are a
part of everyone and everything. It is important to realize how fundamental the Elements are to our existence.
Working with the Elements enables us to balance ourselves. All Witch's, regardless of tradition,
would include mastering the Elements. This can take a lifetime to achieve, but it is worth persuing.
