A key symbol in the western magickal tradition, the Pentagram is a 5-pointed star representing the four elements of Earth, Air, Fire and Water surmounted by the Spirit. It is inscribed in the Air by western Magicians and Witches during the ritual creation and cleansing of elemental energy within the magickal circle, and is also used for protection and purification by practitioners of High Magick in the Banishing Ritual of the Lesser Pentagram.
The Pentagrams can be worn for decorative or symbolic purposes, but should you wish to charge your Pentagram to its purpose it is advisable to form a link between yourself and the cosmic forces that operate through it by performing a simple act of empowerment. Many people prefer to wear their Pentagram for some time before consecrating it, to get familiar with its energy and receive inspiration for their magickal intention.
