What does the pentacle represent? THere are alot of debates about what the pentacle symbolizes. Some people believe that its the sign of the devil when inverted


Christians believe thats its the sign of jesus on the cross.

From reading the Da Vinci Code, I think the Pentacle was used for the symbolism of females.

This symbol is also something to do with alchemy and trammutation. it has not fully discover yet, this topic is pretty interesting ... =]

according to the da vinci code, its a symbol of female perfection and beauty.

mind you a lot of the stuf in that book was totalcrap, so who knows

great read mind you...

i dont like how christians get all angry when they see the pentacle cuz obviously most of society thinks the pentacle is the sign of the devil. inverted or not.

i thought it was something having to do with witchcraft...

i honestly don't know!

One would have to find out where the pentacle originated. I've just researched recently about it and what I've found is that it was used for many different purposes.

umm... care to venture any?

i have no idea.

Do you think witch existed ? There must be a logical reason why people might think that way ?

well christians think anything that isn't christian is satan. my wicca friend, niko, tells me it symbolises life and an up-side-down one symbolises death.
all i know is i think that pentigrams look EFFin awesome.

In Wicca, the five points represents something different. I knew this like years ago but now I forgot. But to satisfy yours and my own curiousity... I looked it up... ^^

They stand for the five elements: spirit, water, fire, air, earth...

I wish I was Wicca... =(

There are more meanings. I don't feel like typing all of them down...

hollywood actors are of the devil.

we must ban them.

why ? your're interesting ..

It's a star! Woot!

Well, it's pretty, for one. Maybe it was just a decoration in the past. Our <(^.^)> designs may become relgious in the future lol.

I've been studying this for Years, and Finally studying has paid off.

The pentacle, from my studies and understandings, is a Pagan or mainly a Wicca, or Witchcraft symbol (yes witches do exsists, just not like those that you see on TV, and in the movies) that symbolizes, when right-side up, Life and gain, and when upside-down, death or banishments. When the pentacle is right-side up, the four bottom points respresent (from my understandings) the four elements, EARTH, FIRE, WATER, and AIR. Now the fifth point (the top point) represents the spirit. The spirit of the Caster.

Now Christians dont or didn't adopt the pentacle, I think what your talking about is "The Star Of David"; i think its a Jewish symbol.

Now also, when the Pentacle is reversed or upside down, it represents Satanism. BUT, since Wiccans dont believe in Satan, the reversed pentacle cannot represent Satan in the Wicca tradition.

Now the whole "Christians, Wiccans and Satans" debate is a whole nother story which is probably in another topic, and i just dont have the time.

yes, i was expecting to learn more about the star. Thank you .. how about transmutation and alchemy ?

i wanna wear a pentcale or pentagram pendant cuz i think its so cool. i dno...im just attracted to it whenever i see one and i have an urge to put it around my neck. but im christian, so i didnt wanna wear it. but then i did some research and i found out all this crap about it and diffrent meanins so noiw im kinda confused and happy because i can wear it without being disrespectful to my religon.

I just read that part today.

According to the Da Vinci code, the pentacle is an ancient symbol connected with Paganism. It is, as James said, a symbol of female perfection and beauty, and is synonymous with the goddess Venus. And in the book, Dan Brown wrote that Christians manipulated Paganism and turned it into a Satanic religion, when really it is the worship of Nature...so the Pentacle is a "good" symbol.

Of course...this is all from the book. And there is a load of crap in the book, so don't believe all of that.

No, I don't think any Christian people think that way.
Cross is the cross, but that's a star. Not a cross.
Anyways I think those means witchcrafts hehe.

i just thought that symbol was just a star... o.O

jesus on the cross...the head, the arms, and the legs=the five points. *nod nod*
