This week the lesson will be about Wicca symbols!

First let me start with the witch's wisdom: "The witch's journey is a walk of wisdom collected over the years. Wisdom gives power which often frightens the fearful and the ignorant."

The Charmed Ones were pulled back in time to the 1600's in the episode "All Halliwell's Eve" (season 3). They're there to save a witch and her unborn child from evil.

In this episode we learned a lot about the earlier forms of magic and magical items:

- The conical witch hat is a spiritual point which helps to channel magic and keep you centered and focused.
- The apple holds a pentacle in its heart. With a laurel leaf it will block the path of evil.
- The broom's traditional purpose is to sweep evil from the path. Always sweep east to west as the sun travels.
- A pumpkin with a star carved out will turn away evil spirits.
- Rosemary and lavender are protection herbs.
