An original

The Pentacle, or five-pointed star, has been a symbol of power throughout
human history.
It generates both awe and fear within us, because of it's continuous presence
in nature, and the complex
beliefs surrounding its use in ritual Magick. Powerful symbols touch something
deep within our psyche.
They address our archetypal nature and create an emotional
response that we often don't understand. This is part of what makes the Pentacle,
and other symbols,
so powerful. The Morningstar beautifully illustrates the pentacle at the core
of nature.
With the pentagram at its center, the beautifully orchestrated Arabesque design
is formed.
The lines gracefully extend and expand outward, creating an
intricate wreath around the powerful center. Early Astronomers believed that
the planet
Venus traveled in the path of a pentagram. The Pentacle became a secret symbol
of the Goddess Ishtar,
as well as the Goddess Venus. The Greek Goddess Hygeia,
goddess of healing, was also represented by the pentacle.
The Morningstar truly represents the Goddess within.
Throughout history, philosophers and Scientists have studied the pentagram
and
discovered its relationship to man and nature.
The Pentacle is represented in many civilizations and cultures. As early as
3500 B.C. it symbolized
imperial power in Ancient Mesopotamia. The Greek Philosopher, Pythagoras,
(586B.C. - 506B.C.)
believed the pentacle was the
"number" of man, representing the five-fold division of the body.
The image of man, within the pentacle,
represents this study;
the head being the upper triangle; arms within the side-pointing triangles;
and feet in the lower triangles.
The five points were marked with the symbols of the five visible planets.
The five points also represented the five elements of
earth, fire, water, air, and spirit. The Pentacle, or Pentad, is also the
numerical symbol of Regeneration.
This is illustrated artfully, beautifully, and continuously in Nature.
One only needs to slice an apple in half to be reminded of the power
and awe of this symbol. It is no wonder why The Pentacle has been adopted
as a symbol of power,
for so many, throughout history.
The quest for power and its misuse, have created fear and
misunderstanding of this ancient symbol of Truth.
We must remember that the pentacle is a symbol of the power and truth in Nature;
that which already is.
An it harm none, do what thou will.

The Pentacle, or five-pointed star, has been a symbol of power throughout
human history.
It generates both awe and fear within us, because of it's continuous presence
in nature,
and the complex beliefs surrounding its use in ritual Magick. Powerful symbols
touch
something deep within our psyche. They address our archetypal nature and create
an emotional
response that we often don't understand. This is part of what makes the Pentacle,
and other symbols, so powerful.
The Ringed Pentacle is one of many manifestations of this powerful symbol.
Its beauty lies not only in it's symmetry, but in it's mysticism.
The ringed pentacle combines the sharp lines of the masculine nature,
with the soft, circular form of the divine feminine. This unity creates a
symbol of endless possibilities
for magic and creativity. The weaving of the circles throughout the pentacle,
provides a mandala for meditation on the infinite cycles of life.
Early Astronomers believed that the planet Venus traveled in the path of a
pentagram.
The Pentacle became a secret symbol of the Goddess Ishtar,
as well as the Goddess Venus. The Greek Goddess Hygeia, goddess of healing,
was
also represented by the pentacle.
The Ringed Pentacle will guide your awareness to the Great Goddess
within and all around us.
"The feeling of awe and sense of wonder arises from the recognition of
the deep mystery
that surrounds us everywhere, and this feeling deepens as our knowledge grows."

which was utilized in their mystical, spiritual practice.The Broomstick has
been used
by wise-women for centuries.
They “swept” the evil spirits out of the house after a woman gave
birth,
to protect the mother and the newborn. The Pentacle is an ancient symbol associated
with
magic, paganism and all forms of mysticism.Surrounding the pentacle is the
circle,
symbol of the consecrated space, the center of the Mother.
The circle is the primary feminine sign.
Wrapped around the circle is the vine, known in the Druidic alphabet by the
letter M, for Muin.
It is the vine of the Blackberry bush, considered sacred by the ancient peoples.
