My Pentacle, The Elements, &
My Personal View
The Pentacle represents many different aspects to each and every Soul that follows the Pagan Path. This is my thoughts on what the Pentacle means:

To some, 'Spirit' is another Element, to others it is a representation of the other four Elements combined. Some consider the Spirit to be that of the Goddess, and others feel it represents self-spirit. To me, it is simply 'Spirit'. I feel Spirit is within myself, and because I am part of Nature, it is also an aspect of all the other Elements too. It can be a solitary Element, or all combined ~ it is Self, and the Whole ~ It is the Spirit, the Spiritual plane, and the spirituality found in all Nature.
The circle around the Pentacle also has different interpretations for each Pagan: to some it is a Magick Circle, to others it is the Circle of Life. For me it is a protective circle, encompassing the Elements, representing that all the Elements together are part of Natures' whole. It signifies Unity, and the eternal quest for wisdom and knowledge. The circle is what makes my Pentacle not only a symbol of my beliefs, but also a talisman ~ it symbolises protection, and positive power.
The Pentacle has long been considered the symbol of the Witch ~ similarly to the cross being a sign and symbol for Christians. I wear a Pentacle with pride. It shows everyone that I am a woman who lives her life travelling the path of the Old Ones.
Wearing the Pentacle is also important to me for other reasons:
I wear it on a chain around my neck, the point representing Spirit showing the way upwards. This, for me, symbolises the spirit in me that is part of the 'whole'. It is a representation of the thought and consideration I must show in everything I do.
The pewter symbol lies next to my skin, in the middle of my chest. I lay it there to show to me how personal the Pentacle is to me ~ how I always hold the beliefs I have close to my heart.
It is a constant reminder of how powerful and wondrous Nature and the Universe is ~ but also how I am a powerful being too. It shows to me how I am unique, and yet part of everything, and may draw on the power of Nature, and still have that power within myself too, as I am part of Natures' wholeness and am still an individual.
Each Element has its own strengths, but drawn together they are Everything: They create 'The Whole'. Of course, the Pentacle does mean so much more to me: it symbolises who and what I am ~ physically and, more importantly, emotionally too. I draw comfort and find peace from my place in the world. I am constantly finding tranquility and serenity in the arms of Nature, and held spellbound in the awe of it all.
I know the world is not perfect ~ there is evil and hatred, discontentment and intolerance. Within all this, I find calm in my choice of beliefs ~ assurance that there is a better way ~ knowledge that there is a greater power protecting all (be it that you call this greater power 'Goddess', 'God', 'The Mother', 'The Horned One', ...etc).
My Pentacle represents ALL this to me ~ it is a 'whole', everything, unity. A symbol of who and what I am...A Witch, a Pagan. And I am proud to be called so.
