Pentagram

A pentagram is a five pointed star made by using one continuous line. In the Greek language, pente means five and gramme means line, so pentegramme literally means a shape with 5 intersecting lines. For the pentacle, pente means five and the ending -cle has a definition of “a place appropriate to the actions of the verb or a means by which the action is performed”.

Most often it is a circle. The pentagram (star with 5 points) has been used symbolically for thousands of years. While we really do not know what Prehistoric Man meant by the symbol, we do…

Satan, or any form of such an evil, does not exist in the belief system of Wicca; because of this they vehemently state that their religious system is not at all connected to that of Satanism, which worships Satan. However, this is not so. From a historical standpoint, Wicca has direct influences from authors who also shaped modern Satanism with their works. As well, many of the Wicca ceremonial practices and symbols are extremely similar to those of Satanism, down to the pentagram which is the…

The top point symbolizes Spirit being above the Four Elements (Pillars, Powers) of Life — Air, Fire, Water, & Earth — which are the four lower points.

This shows how evil and satanic this symbol tends to be.…
