A pentacle is often confused with a pentagram. Pentacles are a five pointed star, turned up right, within a circle. The five pointed star is known as the pentagram. It is a lot like a star that is drawn without picking up the pencil or tool off of the paper, but the sides are interwoven. Other names the pentagram has been called is the Devil’s Star, the Witch’s foot, and the Goblin’s Cross. It is often times a symbol of the Wiccan faith.

Pentacle The base of the word pentacle is the same as the base of pentagram, which could be why so many people confuse the two terms and use them interchangeably. Penta means five, simple as that, and cle is a reference to the circle, literally defined it means a small space. The pentacle is another five-pointed star drawn with a continuous line. It doesn’t necessarily mean the lines are the exact same length though most do still draw them that way by force of habit. Five is a sacred number that

The pentagram is a five pointed shape where each point of a 5 sided polygon (pentagon) circumscribed around a circle is connected by one continuous line that travels internally, from 3 o’clock, to 8 o’clock, to 12 o’clock, to 4 o’clock, to 9 o’clock, and back to 3 o’clock. Neither the circle, nor the pentagon, is part of the shape. The shape results from the line that connects the
How the Pentagram constellation came to be. Many believed, (and still do) that "monsters" were real, that the fictional creatures that "go bump at night" actually do go bump at night. So, a few people formed a society of men and women called "Hunters". From generation to generation, men rose to the responsibility of protecting the life of others, by hunting them. The two story of two of these remarkable group of people will forever live in the minds of men, we are forever indebted to them. After
Witchcraft Witches are always told to be satanic worshippers, but that’s not always true. My question is why does the word “witch” bring up such a bad thought. Images witches use; such as the pentagram aren't as satanic as you might think. The thought of witchcraft had began in 560 B.C., through the bible. The bible had said in “Exodus 22:18 Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live” and “ Leviticus 20:27 A man also or a woman that hath a familiar spirit, or that is a wizard, shall surely be put

It is the dominion

Some of the most prominent symbols of the Illuminati are the Pyramids, the All Seeing Eye of Horus, El Diablo, the Pentagram, the Eternal flame, the Skull and Bones, Obelisk, and the Nazi salute .

The word “Illuminati” was taken from the Latin word “illuminatus” meaning the enlightened. The Illuminati was thought to be a off branch of the Freemasons..

In his hand is a key, which symbolizes guardianship and dominion. Above the coat of arms is a pentagram, which is almost universally seen as something magical and mystical.

There are two serpents with intertwined tails on either side of the pentagram, which represents wisdom and unity. Above the serpents is a sun and a moon. The sun symbolizes

What do you associate a pyramid with? Ancient Egypt? Mathematics? Or a conspiracy theory based on a group of fascists? The NWO or New World Order refers to the emergence of a totalitarian world government that links with the group, the ‘Illuminati’. This group whose logo appears on every dollar bill of America seems far too absurd to be real, right? Fed up yet? It’s just another essay about another conspiracy theory trying to convince you it’s true or false. Even though it seems far too absurd to
For hundreds of years, Wicca and witchcraft has been considered the practice of the Devil. In result, many witches throughout those hundreds of years have been tortured, burned, hanged, and killed outright. Although the “witches” from the infamous Salem Witch Trials were not actual witches, it is the thought that counts. The assumption that witchcraft involves summoning the devil and sacrificing animals is extremely inaccurate, as well as a little insulting. Wicca and witchcraft has been misunderstood
any ungodly act is that of Satan, is a sore spot for many Pagans simply because they do not believe in the Christian Devil (Satan) and thus cannot be a devil worshipper. The pentagram is another sore spot between Christians and Celtic Pagans. Many Christians feel the pentagram is the sign of a satanic cult. However, the pentagram is simply a sign of protection for Pagans and can also be seen throughout Christianity as a symbol as
In a system that claims to be democratic, a question of its legitimacy remains. Does the American public really have the power that the government says that we do? Conspiracies concerning the government have always been the center of many discussions and arguments. Cases like the Kennedy assassination, to even Elvis stories have gained a lot of attention. One conspiracy that has missed the public eye is the existence of the Illuminati. The word Illuminati derives from the Latin word Illumine, which
