The Pentacle is Wicca’s most famous symbol. It represents five classical elements and the Spirit or Self, depending on the tradition.
Some people mistake the pentagram as a sign of evil. But it’s not. It only gets linked to Satanism when it’s drawn with its point downward.
Pentacle
Both Wiccans and pagans use the Pentacle. It’s a powerful symbol that brings unity and protection.
Wiccans often see it as a protection symbol against negativity. They might get a tattoo if they want this symbol on them forever.
Modern society often thinks of pentacles as evil symbols. But they are spiritual markers. They represent balance, harmony, life, light, love, unity, and enlightenment. People believe they help protect against hostile forces that could harm someone’s physical or spiritual well-being.
Triple Moon
The Triple Moon symbol stands for the three stages of womanhood. These are Maiden, Mother, and Crone. Women’s lives and nature themselves depict this. It’s a potent reminder for women to value themselves, and honor their power and life cycles. It covers the excitement of maidenhood, motherhood’s stability, and cronehood’s wisdom.
The Wiccan culture sees this symbol as a powerful representation of the Goddess. It consists of three overlapping crescent moons. These represent the waxing, complete, and waning phases of the moon. It’s also known as the Trinity Knot. High Priestesses often wear it on their headdresses for protection and spiritual reasons.
Horned God
Like many religions, Wicca recognizes several deities and spirits as sacred figures. This figure is connected to nature, wilderness, masculinity, sexuality, fertility, sacrifice, and death.
Horned Gods are shown with phallic symbols like antlers or horns. This refers to male fertility and sexuality. But this isn’t just limited to male bodies. Anyone can become the Horned God.
The Horned God can appear in many forms. These include female, androgynous, or non-binary. Many witches choose to worship only specific deities. Others embrace them all.
