If you use it, What does the pentacle mean to you? Why is it special to you?

I see the pentacle as the symbol of man/humanity. The points are the head, two arms and two legs. it represents us, all that is good about us and all that is bad. I see it as a representative of all peoples and all pagan religions.

If you haven't looked into the connections between the pentacle and the planet Venus then you might want to. It's really fascinating stuff that not a lot of people are aware of.

I've never heard of the connection, why don't you explain. smile

The path of Venus can be plotted over the course of a few years and the resulting points when connected will form a pentagram. The apple is associated with the goddess Venus. When an apple is cut horizontally the seeds are in the form of a pentagram. Venus is also known as both the morning and evening star; when asked to draw a star one is typically drawn as a pentagram.

These are just a few of the associations that I can remember off the top of my head.

No problem. I read a book on the mystical side of math (and hence geometry) a while ago.

I do see it represent humans along with the five elements, but I also see it represent all of the senses, the normal five are each point, but the center would be the sixth sense, what connects us to everything, the heart of human beings.

Yes I can see that too, I have always thought it was a wonderful symbol.
